Chapter 14: Conversations.
This is going to be more of a stepping chapter for what's to come, so it will be kind of short. I hope you enjoy it though!
Rated T. I do not own Castle.
"Ugh I can't wait until these babies are born." Kate said.
"Is everything okay?" Rick asked concerned.
"I just feel so gross and fat."
"Kate you are not gross or fat. You are beautiful."
"You're just saying that."
"It's true. The only other time you looked so beautiful is when you were pregnant with the girls."
"That's sweet."
"And besides you only have two months left. Our baby boys will be here before you know it."
"I can't believe it. You ready to be a Daddy again?"
"I can't wait."
"It's a good thing that I'm taking Emma this weekend. I'll be running out of energy soon."
"Do you want to sit down on the coach?"
"That sounds great."
Rick walked her over to the coach and sat down, Kate snuggled into his side and put her head on his chest.
"I love that your still so snuggly during your pregnancy. Most women don't even want to be near their husbands." Rick said.
"You make me feel safe."
"Is something wrong?"
"Not really just pregnancy hormones. You know getting worried for the new babies, just like I was nervous with the girls. You make me feel less nervous."
"You have nothing to be nervous about. If anybody should be nervous it is me."
"Are you nervous?"
"Terrified."
"Rick Castle is never terrified." Kate said in a joking way.
"I'm serious Kate, I'm terrified."
Kate looked into his eyes then and stroked her face, "Talk to me babe."
"I never had a Dad or a father figure in my life. I had Alexis and I was scared out of my mind but she was girl. I had spent years watching my mom do girly stuff and I felt like I knew what to do and then we had the girls. Now we are having boys, I've always wanted to have boys but now I'm terrified."
"Because you don't feel ready?"
"What happens when they want to learn football and I can't teach them, if they want to do boy scouts and I'm no help, or when they meet girls and the only talk I know is the playboy one. I don't think I can be a good father to boys."
"You are right."
"Which part?"
"All of it. You can't be a good father to them."
"Geez thanks."
Kate took his hand, "You are going to be an amazing father to these boys. You want to know how I can tell?"
"Sure."
"You are here and you'll always be here."
"Always."
"That's what makes you different from your father. Rick you are a present father and that's what matters. You care about Alexis, the girls, and the boys."
"You forgot yourself."
"And me."
"When they get older and I can't teach them boy things they are going to hate me."
"No, no they will never ever hate you. Rick I think your forgetting that you're a writer with a very vivid imagination. Little boys have a huge imagination and that will be something that you can bond with them. I can see you three now pretending the living room has lava and the coach is a boat."
"I can see it too." Rick said with a smile. "But what if I'm not enough for them?"
"You will be exactly what they need, when they need it."
"Wow I thought I was the writer."
"I learned from the best. But I'm serious, you will be a great Daddy to them."
"And you will be a great Mommy to them."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, thank you."
"Always."
I really hope you liked this chapter. I wanted to show Rick being nervous rather than Kate for a change. Since he didn't have a father I thought it was appropriate. My next chapter will be Kate and Emma's special day. Does anybody have any ideas for what they could do? Please please write me a review.
