Okay first of all, I'm SO sorry for not updating in so long, but there's been some major things in my life going on, can you forgive me? Lol ;)

Anyway, this week I don't have any work or school so I'll have time to write on this story, although I don't think there will be that many chapters left, maybe 3 or 4 at most, I just don't know how to keep going with this story.

Also, sorry for this kind of short chapter, but I wrote this at two in the morning so sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes..


"Kate," Castle jumped up from his chair next to her, "Kate are you okay?"

The machine that was measuring her heart rate started to drop and beep loudly.

Oh no, no, no. This can't be happening. Kate, please stay with me, come on Kate.

He started to yell and intensely pressing the button for the nurses to come in the room.

As two nurses sprinted into the room they saw Castle standing over Kate, he was doing compressions on her chest.

They ran over to the bed, one took over from Rick, and the other pressed a blue button. There was a loud siren noise and a voice from a speaker repeating, "code blue in room 0347."

"Wha- what's a code blue?" Rick was standing nervously next to the bed. "What's happening? Is the baby okay?"

Many thoughts were racing through his mind as he saw a bunch of nurses and doctors run in the room with different machines.

One of the nurses tried to calm him down and escort him out of the room.

"No! I can't leave Kate, please just let me stay with her, this can't happen. Please!"

Rick tried to run back to Kate but the nurse stopped him.

"Mr. Castle! You need to sit down, you can't be up and running when you're still healing because you could injure your spine and become paralyzed."

"I don't care," a few tears ran down his cheeks, "as long as Kate is fine, I can't care about myself, just let me go to Kate, please. Please don't die, Kate."

He looked back at her; she was lying on the bed with doctors surrounding her.

"We are doing everything we can to save her right now, please just let us do our job so that you can be reunited with your wife, okay? Please sit down."

He sat down on the wheelchair that the nurse had rolled out to the hallway.

"Just… Just save her okay. She can't leave me. Not like this, she has to live."

What happened? One minute she was fine, I was sitting right next to her, holding her hand. Everything was fine. Then the machine just started to beep. Oh god Kate, you can't leave me, please Kate, fight.

Rick was interrupted from his thoughts when Jim ran into the hallway outside the room. Castle had called him right after he was escorted out of the room.

"Is Katie okay?" he looked at Rick, very worried, "what happened?"

"I don't know what happened, the doctors are still working on her, they have been for over half an hour now, and I have no idea what happened."

Jim saw Castle's face, his eyes were red and his cheeks were wet from tears. Rick waved at him to sit down on the chair next to him.

"She was fine one minute, the next her heart rate was dropping, and I have no clue what's going on."

Jim's face became very pale.

"Oh god… She's not going to die… Is she?"

"I don't know Jim, I don't know. She's a fighter, but now she has to fight for two, and I really don't know if she's strong enough for that. I mean, you've seen her here at the hospital, in that bed… She's so thin, and the baby… I really don't know what's going to happen."

Jim took Castle's hands in his.

"I know, but we can't afford to think like that. Kate is, and has always been a strong woman, and she's going to fight, she's going to fight like there's no tomorrow."

A small smile spread across Castle's face. He was so lucky to have Jim as his father-in-law, and he was very happy that they had gotten so close as they had, not just from the accident, but from over the years.

"You're right. She's going to fight."

After almost two hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the room.

"Is she okay? Is she still alive? Is the baby okay?"

Castle was desperate to know.

"She's okay, for now."

A sigh of relief came from both Jim and Rick.

"However, we need to monitor her even more closely now. She suffered from a cardiac arrest, and it was very stressful for the baby, and if it happens one more time before she reaches 26 weeks, the baby might not survive."

"But she's only 22 weeks pregnant, how big is the risk of this happening again before that?"

Castle looked at the doctor, he was so scared.

"Well, the risk is extremely high, but we have started her on new medication that we think will help even better than the medicine that she was on before, and we are doing everything so that the baby is developing as quickly as it can, in case we need to deliver at 26 weeks."

Jim turned towards Castle, and the doctor left them.

"She's okay, the baby's okay, and it's all going to be okay."

"And she needs to be strong for four weeks now, just so the baby is in the safe zone, so we need to be strong for her as well. We can all do this."

Jim hugged Castle and rolled him back into the room.

Kate looked the same as she had done before, her stomach still peeking out from the hospital gown.

Jim hugged his daughter the best as he could without getting tangled up in all the wires and then he left the room.

"I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Yeah, of course, thanks again Jim."

Rick smiled before he saw Jim leave.

I feel so bad for him, who as to work when his daughter is in the hospital fighting for her life. It must be so horrible.

He put his hand on Kate's stomach and moved his face so his cheek was touching her belly.

"Hey baby, even though you don't know who I am, or what's going on right now, you need to know that I'm your daddy, and you need to be strong for at least four weeks so that I can finally meet you, and so you can meet your mommy. She's fighting for herself, and for you, and you need to fight as well, and I hope that you can stay inside your mommy's tummy for as long as possible because I don't want to be in this hospital anymore. I want to take you and your mom home and I want to show you to everyone, to your big sister Alexis, to your grandmother Martha and grandfather Jim, and to uncle Javier and Kevin, and aunt Lanie and Jenny. Wow, that's a lot of people, and all of them want you and your mom to be healthy, so just keep fighting, okay? Daddy loves you, baby."

He fell asleep with his head on Kate's bedside and his hand still on her stomach.
