Every little girl has dreams. Dreams that include finding her Prince Charming. Being swept off her feet by him and carried away to his castle in his ruby-red and jeweled carriage

Kate Beckett never knew that her prince charming would be named Castle and that he would be driving a Red Ferrari as his carriage

Little girls play with doll houses because they dream of having a beautiful home to live in when they grow up.

Kate Beckett never imagined having the home he has provided for her and also the vacation home out on the island

Little girls play with dolls because they dream of being a mother with a baby when they grow up

Little Kate Beckett never imagined what becoming a mother required of her. But now she does. Tired legs, large belly and sore and swollen feet

But Kate Beckett also never knew how nice it would be to have a husband that would love her as deeply as her husband does and be willing to take care of her.

He stays with her at the station all day even when she is doing boring paperwork. He brings her coffee, even though it is decaf but he also brings her a healthy snack.

He also will not let her lift anything. Or do any stressful work

And then, when they finally get to go home, he pampers her.

As soon as they enter the loft door, he makes her sit down on the couch and remove her shoes. He gets her a bottle of water and while dinner is cooking in the oven, he massages her feet. This action on his part is sheer bliss to her. He seems to know the exact spot she needs touching before she does

After taking care of the soles of her feet, he transfers his hands up to her ankles and moves up her leg massaging the muscles of her calf and continues toward her knees.

In the past that amount of touching would have lead to a quick trip to the bedroom, but for today he lets her relax on the couch until dinner is ready.

She is almost asleep when she hears the ding of the oven timer announcing their dinner is ready

After he has served her, he helps her draw a bath, Helps her take off her attire and then assists her in climbing into the tub. She looks up at her husband is still sees his love for her in his entire face

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because I love you"

She is feeling a little blue. "Right now there is a lot to love. Between my swollen boobs to my oversized rear end" then she looks at her ever growing belly "I must look like a blimp. How can you still love me?"

He kneels down beside the tub "You look like my wife carrying our baby for us to love and raise. And my love for you goes way beyond the physical. I love all of you. Especially the part between your ears"

A soft smile leaves her face

Then she looks up to see his blue eyes have traveled a little south of her face "You ARE staring at my boobs"

"UH…well…I uh…I need to go clean up" Castle stand back up "After I clean up the kitchen then I will come back to help get you out. You do not try to get out of the tub without me. OK?"

She smiles gently as she softly responds "OK"

He rushes out of the room

Kate washes herself as much as she can. It has become more difficult to get all of her legs and feet but she does what she can. She leans back and just allows herself to relax when she hears the sound of her husband coming back in

"What can I help you with?"

She pulls a leg out of the water "My legs and feet. I can't reach them anymore…then my back"

Castle pulls up a stool and takes a wash cloth, soaps it. He begins with her back then she lays back and he takes his time cleansing her limbs.

"You know Kate, I have always loved your legs?"

"Well the sooner as you finish washing them, the sooner we can go into the bedroom and let me use them on you"

He chokes trying to catch his breath

He stops in his washing "Kate I wonder if our victims had someone to assist them in their daily routines like this. You know to help them with laundry or housekeeping?"

She sits up straight in the tub. "It would make sense. Everything says these women were alone. I wonder if there was a friend or neighbor close enough that they knew the victims well enough and were willing to does these kind of things"

Castle looks at Kate "Didn't' someone tell us that the first victim we identified had someone they were close to?"

"Yeah. The manager at the restaurant said that Robin was close with a women who helped her clean up her life"

"Did you hear that there was a neighbor of the second woman, Hanna Lewis had a neighbor close enough to worry about her"

"Tomorrow I will pull the contact reports again and look for their names"

Castle has stood up and grabbed a towel for Kate. He helps her stand and he helps her dry off.

Still wrapped in her towel Kate walks into the bedroom. She stops and looks at the bed and her heart sinks. She is positive that Rick is not interested in making love with her anymore due to her condition. This is when she feels him step up behind her and wrap his arms around her and the baby.

She places her arms around his and pulls his hands up higher to her chest

"Are you positive we will not hurt the baby?"

She leans her head back into his shoulder "Not only will you not hurt the baby, but you will make his mother very happy" The towel drops to the floor

Castle and Beckett arrive on the precinct floor just minutes after her two partners have

"Did you pull those interview cards from our victims?" Beckett asks

Ryan answers "We did and we found something very interesting"

"What's that, Ryan?" Castle questions

"Each one indicates that the victims were all going to the Mid city Women's Center"

"That's it" Castle exclaims "The murders are related to the place where they had their babies"

Captain Gates has stepped up beside the team and is listening intently in the conversation "Detective you should be able to get a warrant for their records now"

Kate Beckett has picked up her phone and called into Judge Markowitz's office. The guys all listen as she gives her most emotional plea for a warrant. After several minutes her face can be seen to drop "Yes sir. I understand" she drops the handset down on the cradle with disgust

"He said No. No warrant for medical records. HIPA rules preclude us getting an open door into the files"

Esposito looks angry "So. What do we do now? Let whoever keep killing these women?"

Gates look to the team "No. We need to go undercover and fish out a suspect"

"But sir? Who could go inside? They will know if an undercover officer went in pretending to be pregnant: Ryan states

"Then we need an officer who has done undercover and is pregnant" She looks at Beckett

Castle stand up beside his wife "OH! NO! That is not happening"

Beckett takes Castle's hand "Rick. Don't worry.. You and all the guys will have my back"

"OK then I will go with you"

"No. Wait, Mr. Castle". Gates responds "The other women had no man in their life. The father was either deceased of totally out of the picture. This is probably why they were singled out. We will give Kate all the back up we can"

Kate squeezes Castle's fingers tightly "I will be fine"


OH What a terrible place to leave everyone on the weekend.

Sorry
