Epilogue
Rick and Kate's Loft
SoHo, New York
Kate leaned back into the couch and let the stress of the week fade into memory as she felt Castle' touch on her feet as he massaged them. "Oh that feels so good babe."
"I bet." Castle replied with a smirk on his face as he continued to massage the feet. He just stared at his wife, enjoying the glow that was radiating off her. "You have this absolute glow coming off you. Did you know that?"
Kate looked up at her husband. "You always say that. You'll be saying that when I am the good year blimp."
Castle shook his head. He put her feet down and brought her up. "Because it is true. You'll always be stunning to me Kate. And you'll be an awesome mother to our son just like you have been an awesome stepmother to Alexis."
Kate smiled and placed her head on his shoulder. His words always makes her feel better. "You always know what to say."
"Comes with the job description." Castle said laughing. He kissed the top of her head. He rubbed her back as she sighed contently into his chest. "Thank you."
She looked up at him. "For what?"
Castle continued to rub Kate's back as he looked into her eyes. "For being you, and dealing with the pregnancy and the stress of running the precinct and being married to me."
Kate smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. "You are welcome. Come on."
Castle was surprised as his wife got out of his arms and grabbed his hand. He pushed himself off the couch. "Where are we going?"
"Well I still have to punish you about the pool, and I need to grab the sash." Kate told him as she turned and smiled seductively at him. "Unless you don't want…"
"No no. You're right I deserve to be punished." Castle replied with a smile on his face as Kate led them into his bedroom and closed the door behind them.
Castle rightly got his punishment and he was happy about it.
