Okay, so I got excited to write another chapter because of the nice reviews I got, it's not very long, but the next chapter will be a bit longer.

Again, please review or PM me with what I can improve, and if you like it, it keeps me motivated to write more:)

All the wedding guests arrived at the wedding reception, which was being held in the dining hall of the Four Seasons hotel, and were greeted by waiters in white tuxedos. They were served champagne and hors d'oeuvres while they were mingling with each other.

The newlyweds were scheduled to arrive thirty minutes after the guests arrived, and after forty-five minutes Martha asked Lanie if she had heard from Kate or Rick.

" No sorry martha, I don't know, but if I know Kate and Rick they've probably stopped on the way for some… eh… you know."

"Wha… Oh! Yes darling you're probably right, but I should probably call Rick to see if they can hurry up, there are a few guests here who are, well… a little older, and who knows when they'll be knocked out."

Lanie burst out in laughter and left Martha alone so she could call him in privacy.

Martha dialled Rick's number, but it went straight to voice mail so she tried calling Kate instead. No answer there either.

Oh well, Lanie is probably right, those two are surprisingly fast with their relationship… But I guess that's what happens when you've been taking it slow for four years…

Martha walked towards Lanie, Javier, Alexis, Kevin, Jenny and Jim who were standing by the bar.

"No answer?" asked Lanie.

"Nope, but it's probably like you said" she said smiling, and everyone giggled, it seemed like Lanie had filled them in with their conversation from before.

After another forty-five minutes Martha became nervous.

It doesn't take this long to consummate, does it? Over an hour… Hmm I'll ask Alexis if she's heard anything from them.

Alexis was sitting at a small table with a few of her friends.

"Hey Alexis darling, have you heard from your father or Kate?"

"No, why?"

"Well, they're a bit late and I'm worried that they might be stuck in traffic, or that something happened on the way over here."

"Well, the bus that was driving us and the other guests didn't take the same route, so maybe you're right, they probably just got stuck in traffic, but we should probably check with the others."

Both of them excused themselves from her friends and made their way over to the bar where the others were standing.

Jim saw their worried faces.

"Still haven't heard from Kate or Rick?" He started to get worried too. What if something happened to them?

"No and we're starting to get really worried."

"It's probably nothing, maybe they didn't get their hotel room key and are sorting that out. Kate told me and Lanie earlier that she was going to change into another dress for the wedding dinner" said Jenny, trying to calm down Martha and Jim.

"Well, why don't we call the car company and asked where the car is? I'm sure they have trackers on their cars."

Ryan's detective instincts kicked in, and him and Javier went to the corner of the room to make the call.

A few moments later Kevin and Javier came back to the bar, with faces as pale as the dead bodies they worked with everyday.

"What happened?!" Alexis saw their faces and she was almost as pale as they were.

"Their car never arrived…" Ryan started to stutter so Esposito took over.

"They were hit by another car, and… uh… they were taken to Lenox Hill Hospital." Javier, clearly shocked, reached out to Lanie for a hug.

"What?! We need to go now!"

Alexis was worried sick for her dad and Kate and…

Then it hit her.

"Oh my god… The baby!"

Oh no, why did I let it slip? Kate was so excited to tell Dad and their friends, and now I told them instead. Oh she's going to be so mad at me... Or maybe she wont... What if she told Dad in the car on their way here.

So many thoughts were going through her mind, but she was interrupted.

"What baby?" Martha and Jim exclaimed in unison.

"Oh no, crap, I probably shouldn't say anything, but Kate's nineteen weeks pregnant, and oh god… We need to go right now!"

Alexis and the others rushed to the exit doors, but stopped to tell one of the ushers of the wedding to tell the guests what had happened.

As they entered the emergency room, Jim ran up to the receptionist and asked for Richard and Katherine Castle.

Wow, it feels weird to call Kate, Kate castle, and not Kate Beckett.

"I'm sorry sir, they're in surgery so you can't see them right now. I can get one of the doctors who treated them to come talk to you. Please take a seat while I call."

While the receptionist made the call, Jim went back to the oher to say that they had to wait for the doctor to come and talk to them.

Alexis was sitting in one of the chairs next to Martha, crying, and Martha hugged her tightly and said it was going to be okay. Jenny and Ryan were sitting opposite to them and they were both worried about their friends. Lanie and Ryan went to sit next to Ryan and Jenny. Jim sat next to Martha and Alexis, his hands were covering his face, and tears were streaming down his face.

Lanie went to sit next to him and she hugged him.

"Sssccchhh, they're going to be fine," she whispered to him, "they're going to be fine."

"Okay look, Esposito talked to the whole group, it's Beckett and Castle we're talking about. They can go through anything and come back even stronger."

But this time it felt different. Neither one of them knew if they were going to be okay. It was like a cloud of worry was surrounding the group.

After a few minutes of silence, a doctor walked towards them and they all stood up.

"Hi, I'm doctor Williams. Please sit down."
