A/N So it's been about a month and I am so so so soooo sorry to anyone who has been waiting on this. 1, I kept forgetting, and 2, I re-read the last chapter and thought it was complete crap and kinda gave up until my best friend convinced me otherwise. I'm on school holidays more so hopefully I can write a whole bunch of stuff :)

I don't know about this chapter/entire story, I re read it and think it's crap but yeah. This one isn't as long as the others mainly because I just wanted a filler chapter to get back into and so you guys had something to read

So without further ado I present chapter 4.

As usual no I do not own them they belong to the great Andrew Marlowe, (except baby bear...)

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Kate stepped off the elevator early the next morning, hoping to speak to Gates before anything happens to put her in a bad mood. As she leaves the elevator she lifts her head and spots Esposito and Ryan already at their desks.

Reaching her desk the boys lift their heads in unison, "Hey Guys,"

"Morning Boss,"

"Morning Beckett,"

Giving them each a pat on the shoulder Beckett heads towards Gates' office. Knocking once, she sees her Captain wave her in.

"What can I do for you Detective?" The older woman asks as Beckett takes a seat.

Beckett swallows before she replies, "I, uh, have some news," pausing for a moment to control her thoughts before she continues. She opens her mouth about to continue when her Captain beats her to it.

"Let me guess. You're pregnant?" Gates states pointedly.

The detectives face instantly going pale, "Sir? How did you-?"

Gates raises a hand to stop the shocked woman, "Detective, I have three children, I know the signs. Plus you're a coffee addict, yet I haven't seen you touch the stuff in almost a month," a smirk appears on the Captains face, "You get pretty cranky without your coffee."

Beckett drops her head to hide the slight smile covering her face, remembering how Castle compared her to a grizzly bear when she doesn't have her coffee.

"Well Beckett, you know the rules. Work as usual but with precautions and then desk duty." Beckett nods in response, smiling to her captain before standing to leave; "And Kate" Beckett turns to look at Gates before opening the door. She watches as a genuine smile covers her boss's face "Congratulations, pass them onto Mr Castle as well and take the day off, I don't want to see you here until tomorrow." Smiling and offering a nod in return, Beckett opens the door and steps into the bullpen.

"I'm home," Beckett calls as the toes off her heals and hangs up her coat. Turning back just in time to see her child like husband sliding across the hardwood floors, skidding to a stop right in front of her.

His face lights up, "Hey beautiful." His arms encircle her waist as he brings his lips down to meet hers. "What're you doing home? How come you're not at the precinct?" he asks when they pull apart.

"Gates gave me the day off," Beckett replies while running her hands through the short hair at the nape of his neck.

Raising an eyebrow and mock horror covering his face, "No way, really?"

She nods before replying, "Really really, and she told me to extend her congratulations to you, so, Congratulations Mr Castle." Smirking up at her husband as he laughs.

"Well, now that that's out of the way. How is momma bear and baby bear this morning?" Castle asks breaking away from Beckett, taking her hand and leading her into the living room.

Sighing before she replies, "We're fine, although momma bear could use a nap, didn't get enough sleep last night."

Castle sat down, moving to lie against the back of the couch, pulling his wife down to lie in front of him. She snuggles into him, reaching back to grab his hand, bringing it to rest on her small bump that is their baby bear. "Ok, nap time my beautiful bears. I can't wait until our little baby bear is here and we can cuddle with him like this."

"Me too Castle, me too. Night papa bear."

"Sweet dreams momma bear, don't keep her awake baby bear. I love you both." Castle rubs his hand on her stomach in circles and presses a kiss to her hair. Only once he feels her breathing out and knows she's asleep does he close his eyes, descending into a deep slumber, dreaming of his little baby boy or girl.

So there it is. Like I said at the start I don't know about it, so please please please let me know if i should continue or if it's crap or what you think or whatever. pretty please review.

Thanks
