"So are you ready for married life, Kate?" Castle asked.
"Of course I am."
The duo was lying in bed together, both of them were still wide awake. Rick could tell that Kate was elsewhere mentally.
"What's going on in that mind of yours?" Castle asked.
"Just doing a bit of thinking."
"What about?"
"The baby and this…" Beckett said as she held up her hand with her ring on it.
"What about it?"
"Well I want the baby to have your last name…"
"Which one?" Castle quipped.
"You know which one, babe."
"And what's the other thing on your mind about all of this?"
"I want to get married before I start to show."
"I had a feeling that you would."
"Thank you for understanding, babe."
"Any time."
Kate laid in Rick's embrace for a while before the next question was brought up.
"When do you want to get married?" Castle asked.
"Before I get to my second trimester."
"I think we can do that."
After that Kate was the first to fall asleep. Rick stayed up a bit longer. He wondered how lucky he was to get the girl of his dreams finally.
Before falling asleep, Rick gave his fiancée one last kiss on the head.
"I love you, Kate." Castle whispered.
"Love you too, babe." Beckett said as Castle turned off the bedside lamp
The duo slept together in the embrace they had been in before they had both fallen asleep. From the second they had both fallen asleep they knew that from this point on they would be completely inseparable.
