Meanwhile at the safe house Mia Beckett was talking to Det. Ann Hastings while Det. Kevin Ryan made them something to eat. Ann thought it would be a good idea to see if Mia would open up to her as she is a female. Kevin was pleased when Ann asked him to go and make breakfast.

"So Mia what have you been doing since you arrived in New York?" Ann asked.

"I arrived in New York on the 25th which was Friday. I went straight to the lawyer office where Lexi Day worked. I asked her if she could help me. She helped me get a DNA test at the clinic near to where she died then she helped me authenticate my Birth certificate from the results of the test. I stayed at the address you found me Det. Ryan. I did not go anywhere. I did Skype my mother in the apt though. Then you know the rest as I been in your care ever since" Mia told her.

"Okay Mia. Who told you about Lexi Day?" Ann asked.

"I was surfing on the plane trip looking for information on my sister and father when I decided to look for a lawyer who could help me. That's where I found her" Mia replied.

"Did you tell anyone about what you were doing?" Ann asked.

"No Ann I did not. I still don't know anything. I know that I had been lied to for the past 20 years. Will you please tell me why all of this has happened? Why are there so many lies?" Mia said being very confused.

"What I know is only what Det. Ryan has told me. Your mother Johanna Beckett was involved in a case 20 years ago. I don't know the particulars of that case. You need to talk to Det. Ryan about that. I am not really close to your sister like Detectives Ryan and Esposito or Rick Castle her husband. I'm sorry I don't know more Mia" Anna told her straight.

"Thank you for telling me this much I will ask Kevin after breakfast" Mia said.

Just as Anna opened her mouth to speak is when Kevin shouted from the kitchen.

"Girls breakfast is ready come and get it" Kevin yelled.

"Okay were coming" Ann yelled back as she and Mia got up from the couch.

Mia, Ann and Kevin sat around the table eating their breakfast when Mia decided to ask Kevin since he would be the only one who could answer her questions.

"Kevin, would you please tell me what happened 20 years ago with my mother?" Mia asked him.

"As far as I know your mother was supposed to go for dinner with your father and sister on the January 9th, 1999. She was a no show. They waited for 2 hours then discouraged your sister and father decided to go home. They were met at the door by a Detective John Raglan. They were told that your mother had been brutally murdered. Later we found out your mom had requested a court file which was never found. It was helping a man called Joe Pulgatti get out of prison. I believe now your mother was put into witness protection as your Mother knows so much more" Kevin told her truthful.

"Thank you so much for been truthful with me Kevin. You're the 1st person in my life to tell me the truth. I am going to my room ok?" Mia left crying.

Mia hid her face as she walked past Kevin and Ann.

"Okay Mia" Ryan said with compassion.

Kevin looked at Ann not wanting to embarrass Mia any further.

"She hides her emotions just like her sister" Kevin noticed. "Hmmm must be a Beckett trait."

"It's got to be hard for her Kevin" Ann told him.

"Yeah it has to be. Knowing you been living your life as a lie" Kevin said.

"Why don't we leave the dishes for now? Let's go and watch ESPN they have the football highlights of this week" Ann suggested.

"Sure" Kevin agreed.

They both moved to watch the football highlights.

Back at the loft Kate was giving her son his breakfast while Rick made them both a cup of coffee. Rick poured them both a cup of coffee. He walked over to the table to where his son and wife were. He could still tell Kate was scared from the dream as it showed in her eyes but he decided to leave it.

"There is your coffee Love" Rick said as he put her coffee on the table out of Brian's reach.

"Rick? I cannot drink coffee I am pregnant!" Kate exclaimed.

"Oh sorry I forgot want some orange juice?" Rick asked.

"Yes please. I need to call my doctor to make an appointment" Kate said.

"No problem Kate by the way..." Rick was about to finish until Brian spoke.

"Mama, Mama, Da Da"

"Did he just say Da Da?" Rick asked his wife.

"Yeah he sure did Rick" Kate said proudly with a tear to her eye.

Rick felt proud his son was learning to speak.

"Yes that is Da Da!" Kate pointed to Rick then cooed at Brian as he repeated the same words again.

Rick walked back over to the table with a glass of orange juice for his wife.

"I love you baby boy" Rick said as he kissed his son on the head as Brian repeated the words Da Da over again. He was getting excited.

Brian put his arms out as he wanted a cuddle from his dad. Rick passed his wife her juice then picked up his son. They walked to the couch followed by Kate who was carrying her Orange Juice. They all sat down on the couch then played with Brian. Few minutes after sitting down Kate decided she wanted to see what there baby looked like.

"Richard do we still have the new ultrasound machine that we used when i was pregnant with Brian?"

"Yeah we do why?"

"I was thinking about going to see what our baby looks like"

"I will go and look for it sweetie"

Richard had a huge smile on his face. He got up from the couch and walked over to their bedroom to look for the machine. Meanwhile Kate decided to go and get Brian ready for the day. She picked up her son and walked into her and Ricks bedroom. When she entered the room she seen Rick in the cupboard where everything was put. Seen Rick in the cupboard had a brought a memory back from when they first slept with each other and he had told her to hide in there so Martha wouldn't know.

"Rick am going to get our son ready while you look for the machine" Kate said with a smile on her face while her son was cuddling into her.

"Ok sweetie"

\\\\\\\

Arriving into her son bedroom Brian got all hyper as he seen his toys in the cot. Kate had noticed this.

"Want to play with your toys baby boy while I sort your clothes out for today"

Brian looked up to her with his bright blue eyes in smiled.

"Mama" Brian went.

Kate put her son down into his cot and he lay down and sat up playing with his toys. Brian was talking away to himself while playing with his toys while his mother sorted out his clothes. Kate walked to his wardrobe and seen his brand new checked shirt and dark blue pants so she decided to put them on him. Kate got her son dressed then they both headed back down stairs.

"Come on little man let's go in see if Dada has found the ultrasound machine" Kate said happily.

"Da da" Brian repeated at the sound of his father's name.

Meanwhile in the spare room Jim was getting a shirt out of the wardrobe to finish getting ready for the day ahead when he noticed a box. The box was a medium size with the word 'Kate - Jonnah Beckett'Jim wasn't a one for snooping but when she seen his daughter name and his wife's name he wanted to take a look. When opened the box he had come across a photo album he wanted to take a look. He walked over to the bed and sat down and opened it up. Inside the photo album was pictures of him Katie in Johanna through the years they had spent together as a family. Jim couldn't stop thinking about his wife and his youngest daughter. What was she like? Did Mia look like Katie? Was Johanna still the same?

Kate was just coming down the stairs with Brian when she saw Rick running out of their bedroom. Brian couldn't stop laughing at his father running as he fell over Kate shoes and landed on the floor face first.

"Kate I have found it... Ouch" Rick said as he ran out of the bedroom and fell over.

Kate couldn't help but laugh along with their son. She decided to walk over to where Richard was in lending him her free hand to help him up.

"It's not funny Kate. I have hurt my knee" Rick said in a sulk.

"Oh yes it is Mr Castle even our son his laughing" Kate said trying to control her laughing fits.

"Fine... Let's go and see what our baby looks like in print a photo for us" Richard went to them.

Richard got up from the floor and all three of them walked into the bedroom. Kate had noticed Rick had it all set up all she need to do was lie on the bed and let her husband do the rest. She laid down on the bed with Brian while Rick sat down on the bed and took the remote and turned it on.

"Come on Richard I want to see our baby. Put the gel on my stomach and get the ultrasound and do it" Kate said impatiently.

"Ok" Rick told her.

He picked up the bottle of gel and moved his wife shirt up so he could put some gel on her lower abdomen. He picked up the ultrasound and put it on to her abdomen and turned the machine on. After a few seconds of looking for the baby they seen a little heartbeat on the screen. Kate looked at the screen and had tears in her eyes.

"That's...our...baby" Rick said as he cried with happiness.

"Yeah that is our baby. Our little creation. Brian little sister are his brother" Kate went.

Brian looked at his mother and father and could see them both crying so he decided he wanted their attention.

"Mama,Da da"

Kate and Rick looked down at their son and smiled at him. Brian smiled back and tried talking to them.

"Ga ga" Brian spoke as he pointed at the machine with his little fingers.

"Yes Brian that's your little brother are sister" Richard told his son.

"Yeah baby boy its your little brother are sister" Kate went to her son.

"Print a picture Rick I want to show our family. I know we have not been to the doctors yet but I would like to show our family" Kate told her husband.

"Okay sweetie I will Why don't you and Brian go and watch some cartoons while I print a picture in I will come and join you both" Richard went.

Kate got up from the bed after cleaning the gel of and picked her son up from the bed and went into the sitting room. Brian and Kate sat down on the couch and watched the cartoons. Kate had a huge smile on her face from seen their baby on the machine. Not long after Rick joined them both on the couch.

Half an hour later there was a knock on the door then Alexis entered the loft.

"Hello pumpkin" Rick said to his daughter.

"Hello Alexis" Kate greeted her.

"Hello guys how is my baby brother doing?" Alexis asked them both.

"He is doing well. He said Mama yesterday and now said Da Da a few moments ago" Kate said cooing at her son.

"Yes you are a good boy aren't you Brian." Brian giggled at his mother's poking.

"Where is Luke?" Rick asked.

"He is at work dad until tonight. Oh my! That is amazing news mom" Alexis said as she went to hug them both.

Alexis had started to call Kate mom ever since the day she and Rick had gotten together. Kate was happy about it so they left it at that. Brian was happy to see his sister as he wouldn't sit still in between his mother and father.

"I think someone is happy to see me" Alexis said as picking him up.

"Yeah he misses his sister" Kate said to Alexis.

Alexis carried him to the chair. She sat down then spoke with her father and step mother. She realized it was a Monday morning. Kate and her dad should be at the 12th.

"Kate what are you doing off work?" Alexis asked.

"I am taking a few days off work to spend with all of you" Kate said trying not to tell her the real reason yet.

"All right no problem" Alexis said however she was skeptical of the answer since Kate rarely took any time off.

Rick along with Kate asked Alexis how her work was doing. They had not noticed that Jim had entered the room. Jim spied the file still on the couch. He leaned over to read the file name. It was about Johanna. It wasn't until Martha appeared that they heard Martha talking to Jim.

"Jim are you ok?" Martha asked.

"Yeah... I am fine" Jim said as he tried his hardest not to cry.

Kate and Rick and Alex turned their head to see Jim had opened the file. He was looking at 2 photo's. All of sudden Kate and Rick had realized it was the photos of Mia and Johanna.

"Dad" Kate rushed to his side because the information was overwhelming him. Rick got up then guided him to a chair. Alexis jumped up handed off Brian to Martha then ran into the kitchen to get a glass of water. The all gathered around the older man concerned for his health. Jim Beckett had become the Father to Rick he never had, The Grandfather to Alexis and a Friend to Martha.

"I'm ok Katie and everyone. It's just the shock of seeing a photo of my youngest daughter and your mother then knowing they are alive" Jim said after a few minutes of deep breathing.

He didn't realize he had just told Alexis and Martha that he had a younger daughter and Johanna was alive.

"What do you mean your youngest daughter and Kate's mother is alive?" Alexis asked Jim concerned that his mind might be going. However looking at Kate and her Father she quickly changed her mind since they seemed to be confirming what her Grandfather was saying.

"Yes what is going on Richard, Kate, and Jim?" Martha asked being very confused over this whole situation still holding a very fussy Brian.

"My mother is alive and I have a baby sister who is 20 years old" Kate replied.

She just confirmed what her father had just said. Rick nodded in agreement.

Martha's hand flew to her mouth involuntarily. Brian laughed at the silly antics of his gran.

Kate continued. "I am pregnant as well." Kate said as she went into the bedroom to retrieve the picture of their baby that she and Rick got from earlier Kate returned and gave the picture to Jim.

"Will wonders ever cease! So that is what my newest grandchild will look like?" Jim asked.

Kate nodded.

"Yes Jim we cannot see much yet but soon we will" Rich went.

Alexis was intrigued by the picture as it was going to be her little sister are brother.

"Dad Mom this is amazing news" Alexis said.

"Yeah it is sweetie" Rick said as he kissed daughter head.

Kate walked over to Alexis and hugged her.

"Yes it sure is Alexis" Kate told her.

"Whatever the gender the baby will be it will be cute just like its brother and sister" Martha gushed keeping the picture out of range of the grasping hands of Brian. Everyone agreed with Martha.

"Well today was full of surprises" Alexis said.

Tell me what you think would mean the world to me :)
