"Good Morning, Castle, Detective Beckett." C.J. said with a smile on her face for both of them.
"Good Morning." Kate said with a smile. "I'll fix her, she thought to herself."
"Sleep well?" Castle asked her.
"Actually yes, for a hotel room, it was very comfortable." C.J. said as she sipped her coffee.
"Well I figure I better fore warn you, I called L.A. earlier, having actually forgotten about the time change, I was going to wait awhile. Anyway I spoke to your Mr. Houston. Umm why didn't you warn me he was a loose cannon? Kate asked C.J.
"What do you mean? What did he say? C.J. asked wondering exactly what Kate had meant by her statement.
"Well I went into what happened at the charity event and I got to the part about one of the bullets hitting your book and that was that. He wanted to know if you were in the room when it happened and if you were ok. I told him the truth, you were in the room when the shots were fired but you got pummeled to the ground and were ok." Kate told them.
"And what'd he say when you told him I was ok? CJ asked dreading the answer to that question, because she knew the answer.
"C.J., that was the end of the conversation, he's in route." Kate said not believing what she was saying.
" I'm not surprised, he's really not a loose cannon ,he's just very protective." C.J. chuckled. Dreading the fact she was going to have to face him for sure now.
"Soo he's not going to want to put me 10feet under when he realizes I'm the one that put you in the floor, especially when he realizes your pregnant?" Castle asked concerned he was about to get hurt.
"No, not if he knows you were trying to help me and not hurt me. And I'll make sure he knows that before any harm comes to you. C.J. chuckled as she looked over at Kate who was grinning as well.
"So, I take it by what Castle just said, he doesn't know your pregnant? And that he is going to have a vested interest, when he does find out? Kate asked ,putting two and two together faster than she even thought possible.
"No, he doesn't know I am pregnant. And yes the baby is his." C.J. said.
"Excuse me, I'm going to hit the ladies room." C.J. said as she walked away.
"I think we need to make sure C.J. is here when this Houston fellow shows up." Castle said wondering exactly how he was going to act if by chance she wasn't there.
"Ya think? Kate hissed. "Geez this just keeps getting better and better and we haven't even really began dealing with the actual case yet."
And as luck would have it, Castle was about to find out, how Houston was going to react because C.J. had not emerged from the ladies room yet. And round the corner an officer pointed a very tall dark handsome man with a mustache over to Kate's desk.
"I have a feeling, that's our Mr. Houston." Kate said.
Wow so handsome, she thought as he approached them.
