Disclaimer: I do not own Castle, not in a million years.
AN: For LookingIntoOblivion, for making my dreams come true then shattering them… (Over and over, babe.)
"Rick, it may be a little too soon for that. We don't even know if the baby is a boy or a girl." Kate was nervous enough already, without Rick making her feel sick. Wait. That was the baby making her feel sick. Kate shook her head; she didn't need to go through this.
Rick placed a soothing hand on her shoulder. "Everything is going to be fine, Kate. I promise." Kate looked up and saw the pleading, blue eyes. His eyes, they were what she looked forward to each morning when she opened her eyes. She needed to see his eyes, those special, iridescent blue orbs of his.
"Kate, it's impolite to stare." Rick was trying to stifle a few giggles as Kate looked away trying to hide her scarlet blush.
"Hypocrite." Was all Kate managed to get out before bursting into laughter. "All the times I tell you to stop staring at me and the one time I stare at you, you tell me to stop. You are such a child at times!" Kate rolled her eyes, and Rick's blue eyes narrowed.
The nurse came back into the room and told them they could leave. As Kate walked out of the hospital with Rick, she noticed he had changed slightly. He had a brisker stride, brighter eyes, and perkier voice. She thought it was from getting news that she was pregnant.
TEN MINUTES LATER
Kate was walking through the door to the loft. She set her coat on the coat rack, and placed her small handbag on the small table by the door. Kate sat down on the couch and took off her shoes. She needed rest, she was so tired by the time she sat down on the couch she was already feeling herself being pulled into a deep sleep.
Rick bent down and placed a light kiss on her hairline. Kate didn't stir, her eyes didn't even flutter. Man, she's out like a light! Rick had been wondering what this pregnancy would do to her ever since they heard the news that it existed, but more importantly, he wondered what it would do to them.
THREE HOURS LATER
Kate finally opened her eyes, but quickly closed them again seeing the harsh light through the curtains. She heard noise coming from the kitchen, which was what got her up and off the couch. She was beyond hungry, and quite tired. Not a good mix.
She walked into the kitchen and sat down on a bar stool.
"Hey, Castle. Whacha cooking?" Kate knew the smell anywhere, but she wanted to make sure it wasn't one of his famous smorelettes.
"I'm making some smorelettes." Darn it! She hoped he wasn't making them, but now she knew for sure he was making smorelettes. Kate felt her stomach start to twist. Not now! Kate bolted towards the bathroom, trying not to hit Martha or Alexis on the way there.
Rick followed her to the bathroom, just to make sure she was alright. He looked into the door and saw Kate down on her knees throwing up the contents of her stomach. Even though she was puking, she was still gorgeous.
"A little help here, Rick?" Kate asked, while she wiped her mouth with a piece of toilet paper.
"Sure, I'd be glad to help a lady in need." Rick was trying to lighten the mood with a little humor, but it wasn't helping.
"Castle, just skip the puns and get me off of the floor!" Kate was starting to get a little angry. Any more time on this floor would kill her.
"OK Kate. I got you, one, two, and three!" Rick pulled Kate up off the floor, and led her to the bed. "You need to rest. Nope, no questions. Strait to bed, you need to rest your body."
Kate hated to be bossed around and she hated not being able to stick up for herself.
AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And yes, I did bring the smorelette into this.
