Chapter 12: Peanut Butter

A week has passed since the last chapter. Before you read this I just want to say that I made up the events in this story, I did no research for it. That being said I have no idea if what happens in this chapter can actually happen, I just wrote it for the story. I really hope you like this chapter!

Kate had been feeling absolutely terrible all night, tossing and turning all night. Finally around five a.m. she ran into the bathroom and threw up twice, Rick ran after her.

"No Rick don't come in here." Kate groaned

"shh Kate let me help you."

Being too tired to fight him Kate allowed her husband to help her. Rick rubbed her back as she emptied her stomach into the toilet, he then got her a glass of water.

"Do you want to go back to bed?" Rick asked

"Please."

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"Mmm please."

He scoped her up and brought her over to the bed, "Try and get some rest."

"Thank you."

"Always."

At eight a.m. Rick was woken up by the sounds of Kate crying in the bathroom, he got out of bed to see her.

"Hey babe what's wrong?" Rick asked confused

She shook her head, "Happy tears, the boys kicked."

"Really?"

"Come feel?"

He knelt down on the floor and placed his hands on her stomach, "Hi Liam and Mason." Sure enough he felt two strong kicks.

"I forgot how amazing it feels." Kate said.

"I love you so much."

"Love you too."

"Do you think you could eat something for breakfast?"

"Just crackers, I don't think I could hold anything down."

A few minutes later he was back with the crackers and they laid together in bed and ate them. About ten minutes later Kate looked at Rick with tears in her eyes and snuggled into his side.

"Is everything okay?" Rick asked.

"I feel really bad. I hate this so much."

"I think this is normal babe, you got really lucky with the triplets."

"I know but I just hate feeling like this."

"Well is there anything I can do for you?"

"This might sound terrible but can you see if my Dad can watch the girls overnight?"

"Are you sure?"

"I just feel so sick and I want to lay in bed and snuggle with you."

"I'll give him a call and it doesn't make you a bad Mom because you need a break."

"Thank you."

Two hours later Rick came home from dropping the girls off at Jim's. He walked in the bedroom door to see his wife reading a book. "Hey Kate, how are you feeling?"

"I haven't gotten sick but I still feel very sick."

"Can I get you anything?"

"No thanks but can you come and snuggle with me."

"I would love to but I need to finish my chapter."

"Oh okay."

"I'm sorry, I know you wanted me to be with you but Paula has been on me all week to finish this chapter."

"That's okay but come see me when you're done?"

"Of course, I'll be as quick as I can."

"I can't wait."

40 minutes later

During the time period Rick was gone Kate had thrown up eleven times. When Rick walked into the bedroom he found his wife covered in throw up and she was crying heavily. He walked over to her and looked in her eyes, "Kate, its okay baby don't cry."

"Rick…" Kate whispered

"Come on let's get you in the shower."

"Can't move."

Rick picked her and brought her over to the bathroom. He then took off her clothes and got in the shower with her, he then started to wash out everything from her body.

"It's okay, you'll feel better soon." Rick told Kate.

"Something doesn't feel right."

"We could see a doctor if you want?"

"I think that sounds like a good idea and I'm really sorry about the sheets."

"Don't worry about it."

"But those are your favorite sheets."

"My favorite sheets are the ones with you in them."

"Sap."

"You love it."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

At the doctors: Like I said in the beginning of this chapter I made this up for the story. I have no idea if this can actually happen.

Once they got to the doctors, Kate immediately had many tests done to find out what was going on. They had been waiting for the results for twenty minutes now, Kate was worried and it showed on her face.

"Everything will be okay." Rick told her.

"I just wish someone would tell us what is going on."

"I'll go see if someone can get us any information."

Just as Rick was about to leave the room the doctor walked in. "Mrs. Castle have you eaten any peanut butter lately?" The doctor asked.

"Yes I have, why?"

"It seems that both the boys are already allergic to it in the womb. So their bodies are rejecting the peanut butter which is why you have been so sick."

"That can happen?"

"It is rare but possible."

"Are the boys okay?"

"They are just fine, you have nothing to worry about. I'm going to give you a pill to take for a week, it will wash out all the peanut butter from your body."

"Thank you Doctor."

"My pleasure, call me if you need anything."

The car ride home was completely silent besides the sound of Kate crying. Once they got home Kate went a laid down on the coach.

"Kate can we talk?" Rick asked.

"No go away."

"Honey come on, talk to me about this."

"Talk to you about what? How I am a terrible mother? How I almost killed our babies?"

"Kate you are not a terrible mother at all. You are the world's best Mom, our kids are so lucky to have you."

"The boys could have died."

"It's not your fault, you had no way of knowing that they would be allergic."

"I just can't imagine if something had happened to them."

"And you don't have to imagine because the boys are fine."

Rick sat next to her on the coach and placed his hands on her stomach. "Hi Liam and Mason it's your Daddy here. I love you so much already my little baby boys. You gave Mommy and I big scare today, maybe you could help me out and give your Mom a big kick so we know you're okay." Rick continued to talk to the boys and move his hands around her stomach. A few minutes later they felt a series of strong kicks.

"See I told you they were okay." Rick said.

"Thank you for showing me and not getting mad."

"You were scared and that's okay, I understand."

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"Anything."

"Don't laugh at me but I need to see the girls. I thought I was ready to not have them for a night but I need to see them."

"Of course, I will go get them right now."

"Thank you."

"Always."

An hour later all of their babies were home and Kate felt much better.

I really hope you liked this chapter. My next chapter will be Kate and Tegan's special day! Please write me a review.
