AT THE LOFT.
"How did the appointment go?" Alexis asked when they returned,
She knew they were at one but she didn't know why.
"Oh uh fine." Kate said and sat beside her on the couch,
"I have to go to a meeting at Black Pawn, I'll be back in a few hours." Rick said, he quickly pecked Kate's lips and planted a kiss on Alexis' forehead.
"Bye dad!" Alexis called as he left the loft.
The second Rick had closed the door Alexis turned to face Kate,
"So is anyone going to tell me what the appointment was for?" Alexis asked,
Kate had to admit, she inherited Rick's curiosity,
"Well…." Kate didn't know where to begin, "Me and your father were trying for a baby but there were some complications…" Kate whispered,
"Complications with who?" Alexis pushed,
"Me." Kate whispered.
"Oh Kate I'm so so sorry." Alexis said pulling Kate into a hug, she really wanted a baby brother/sister.
"I really really want a kid, and I am going to get one." Kate muffled,
"Wait so are you going to adopt!" Alexis said in a shocked tone, she didn't expect them to adopt.
"No." Kate simply said,
Alexis looked at her in a confused face,
"The reason why I can't have a baby is because I'm underweight. So I am going to stop mopping and start eating properly." Kate said firmly.
Alexis beamed, she couldn't wait to have a sibling.
After a while of just talking, Alexis went to study for some collage exam thing.
Kate took out the folder she was given by Doctor Watson,
There were some pages and leaflets on healthy eating and then there was the routine he done out for her.
9:00 am. Wake up.
9:30 am. Breakfast (Cereal, toast, fruit etc.)
1:00 pm. Lunch (Sandwich/soup/pasta, one piece of fruit, water.)
6:00 pm. Dinner (Proper food, no take-away,)
9:00 pm. Small snack. (Crackers, fruit, carrot stick etc.)
NOTE: drink plenty water and only one cup of coffee a day.
Only aloud 2 treats a week.
Kate sighed, only one cup of coffee a day that would be hard.
There were also leaflets on nutrients and there were some on pregnancy as well.
Kate ignored all the food ones and dove straight into pregnancy ones.
By the time Castle had gotten back she had read nearly all of them.
"Hey." Rick said cautiously, he didn't know if she was still upset.
"Hey babe!" She said cheerfully,
"What's all this?" He asked and took a seat beside her,
"Well I have read through the routine thing that Watson left me and he also gave me loads of leaflets and there quiet interesting." Kate replied showing him everything she had received from the doctor.
"So tomorrow we start, and I of course will be doing this routine thing with you." Rick said smiling at her,
"You're such an amazing husband." Kate said and began kissing him.
Obviously he kissed her back, Kate began unbuttoning his navy shirt and threw it on the floor. Soon her shirt was off too, just as Rick undone her bra and threw that on the floor as well, soon came his trousers.
"OH!" Alexis said loudly "I didn't see anything." She said and turned around to avoid looking at a half-naked Kate and Rick.
"SHIT!" Kate said loudly falling off the couch trying to cover herself up.
"We um sorta forgot you were here…." Rick said pulling on his trousers
"Well I was going to ask you something but it can um wait." Alexis said staring at the wall to avoid looking at her dad and step-mom half-naked.
"Nope nope just give us a second." Kate said throwing on her top and flinging the bra into the office where it couldn't be seen.
"Ok right we're decent." Rick said,
Alexis slowly turned around, her face was bright red.
"So what's up?" Kate asked and sat awkwardly on the sofa,
"I was just going to ask if I could decorate the baby's room as I'm quite good at that stuff. With your help of course." Alexis said awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck.
"Sure, you're good with the whole painting and decorating thing." Kate said smiling at the young woman.
"Ok and one more thing. Please do that stuff in your room and only your room, I really don't want to be seeing that every time I want to talk or get food." Alexis said blushing a little
"I think we can manage that." Kate whispered growing more and more embarrassed.
"Oh and do keep it down as well, I don't want to be hearing all those noises." Alexis said before going back to her room.
The couple just sat there in complete silence for a minute to take in what had happened.
"Well that was awkward." Rick said breaking the silence.
"I cant believe that just happened." Kate said in a horrified voice, "Your 20 year old daughter just seen me completely topless making out with her dad."
"Well when you say it like that it sounds worse, and after all we are married." Rick said, he always thinks of the positive.
"Should I go and apologise?" Kate asked turning her head to him,
"Naw it ok, she understands. Anyway its not like she's seen anything new is it? Like she has seen me kissing you before and you know she sorta does have….." Castle stopped,
"Ok right well I'll go apologise now and we can continue in like 5 minutes." Kate said heading up the stairs.
