Thought that might be important anyway.

Groaning as he pulled his jacket it off, he quickly threw it onto the couch and sighed, looking around to see Kate washing up in the kitchen, her headphones in as she hummed along to the song she was listening, occasionally singing bits of the song. Approaching her, he slowly pressed a kiss to her cheek, the detective removing her headphones quickly as she turned to look at him and sighed, her fingers running up and down the stained shirt he was wearing.

"I got passionate in a speech and knocked my coffee over, I had to keep my jacket on all day to stop people seeing it. I was so embarrassed and Paula found it hysterical" he laughed, her eyes rolling as she leant up and kissed him gently. "I'm going to go and change and then I'll take you to dinner. I fancy Italian and I can't be bothered to cook tonight and we haven't gone out for dinner in a while" he smiled, Kate nodding quickly before kissing him again and allowing him to disappear out of the room. Finishing the dishes, she sighed as she heard the writer running down the stairs, the small piece of paper she'd left on his pillow upstairs in his hand. "Is it true?" he asked; the brunette nodding slowly before she walked over and kissed him, his arms wrapping around her before tears silently appeared in their eyes.

"I'm pregnant" she whispered into his ear, the tears slowly running down her cheeks as she stared at him, noticing the tears that were finally running down his own face. "We're actually having a baby Rick" she admitted, the writer nodding as he sighed and kissed her again, keeping his arms tightly around her as she rested her head against his chest, his hands moving from her back to rest on her stomach. "I've got a scan in a week. I immediately called my doctor to get a scan sorted, you're going to come aren't you?" she asked.

"Of course I'm coming with you, I wouldn't miss it for the world Kate. Our family is the most important thing for me" he smiled, his fingers running across her cheek as she bit into her lip. "What day and what time?" he asked.

"Ten am on Wednesday" she admitted, the writer nodding as he leant forward and kissed her lightly. "But I was thinking we could make a day of it and perhaps go to lunch as well" she explained, the writer nodding as he hugged her, her arms wrapping around him as he moved slightly and turned the radio on. Slowly swaying to the music, they both sighed before they kissed her lightly and he relaxed, resting his forehead on hers as her phone began to ring. "Ignore it" she whispered, the writer nodding as he spun her and then brought her back into his arms, the two of them laughing as their eyes locked.

"Congratulations Katie" he whispered, the detective sighing as she leant up and sighed onto his lips.

"Congratulations Rick" she replied, kissing him again as he sighed and kept her close, his chin resting on the top of her head as he thought about everything. Hearing the door open, they slowly moved apart as Alexis walked in and beamed at them. "Hey Alexis" Kate beamed, the writer smiling at her as his daughter walked over and squealed. "What's going on with you?"

"I just got back from a date with Ashley, he's amazing" Alexis admitted; the writer's eyes rolling before he disappeared towards the stairs and ran up them. "Kate, he's really sweet and he isn't trying to rush me or anything. We're going to the theatre tonight and we went to the cinema yesterday" she explained, Kate beaming as she sat down and looked at the redhead.

"I'm glad you're happy Alexis" Kate announced, the redhead beaming before she squealed again. "You're being a teenager again" she laughed, Alexis shrugging as she relaxed in the couch and sighed.

"He just makes everything feel great and he listens. He held me while I told him about you know and he just listened and comforted me" Alexis explained, the brunette sighing as she reached across and held Alexis' hand. "I didn't interrupt anything when I arrived, I just wanted to talk to you about it because you understand" she admitted, hearing a door shut and footsteps approaching. "Hey dad, I was thinking of us going out for dinner tomorrow".

"What?" Rick asked, staring at the couple on the sofa. "Actually, that's a brilliant idea" Rick beamed before looking at Kate. "Actually, I was thinking about having a big family dinner next week; why don't you bring Ashley around on Thursday? He seems to be a big part of your life now" he announced, Kate smiling at her husband.

"That's an amazing idea" Alexis beamed, kissing Kate's cheek quickly before running over and kissing her dad's cheek as well. "Anyway, I've got to go. I've got to get ready for the theatre tonight" she smiled, Kate smiling at the redhead who waved and walked towards the door with the biggest smile on her face. Hearing the door shut, Kate laughed as Rick sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her, bringing her into his side.

"I like seeing her like this, it reminds me of the old Alexis" Kate admitted, Rick nodding as he sighed and kept her close. "I think the family dinners an amazing idea, does that include the precinct guys as well?" she asked.

"Of course, our extended family counts as well and if we have the news on Wednesday and we feel like telling everyone. We can do it in one go rather than in little groups" he smiled; Kate nodding as she slowly pressed a kiss to his cheek and sighed. "I can't believe you're pregnant, are you sure?" he asked.

"I took fifteen tests, I'm sure" she laughed, the writer smiling at her before kissing her gently. "I'm pregnant" she muttered, kissing him again as their hands slid to her stomach, their eyes looking down at it before they laughed in excitement, their lips moving to each other's again slowly while their hands remained on her stomach, hoping that this time they would have their baby at the end.
