"Richard Castle what are you doing?" Kate asked as she sat in bed with her book and watched as the writer crawled under the duvet at the end of the bed and began to crawl up towards her as she rolled her eyes and gasped when she felt his lips on her stomach. "Rick what are you doing?" she asked quickly as the writer continued to press kisses to her bump. "Richard" she whispered.
"I'm saying hello to my baby" he stated as she rolled her eyes and relaxed, knowing that he wouldn't leave her alone to read her book now. "I'm also stopping you from cheating on me with that book" he declared as she stared across at the new book she'd purchased that was the latest by Patterson. "If he found out my girlfriend was reading his books in bed instead of mine, he'd never let it go Kate" he moaned as she pulled the blanket over her head and stared down at him as he rested his head against her baby bump.
"Rick, I'm just reading a book" she moaned as he groaned. "I'm just reading a book, I'm not giving myself to another man" she muttered as he moved up to stare down at her as she smiled. "There's only one writer I want and he's right here, being a completely over protective idiot" she smiled as he glared at her before leaning down to kiss her gently. "Can I read my book now?" she asked as he shook his head and knocked the book off the bed, the sound of it hitting the floor making them both laugh.
"Nope because I'm an over protective idiot Katherine and I don't want to hear about you cheating on me in our bed" he stated as he tightly wrapped his arms around her while she burst out laughing. "Especially since we're getting married tomorrow" he declared as shock covered her face. Turning to look at him, Kate laughed as he leant across and kissed her quickly, silencing her question as she continued to remain in shock. "I've booked us all tickets to Las Vegas for a wedding tomorrow" he explained as she remained silent. "You and me of course, Alexis, your father and my mother, Esposito and Lanie as well and Ryan's coming but Jenny's staying home to look after baby Katherine but it's going to be a wedding" he explained as Kate stared up at the ceiling in amazement. "You're happy right?" he asked as she nodded slowly.
"I still can't believe that you've done all of this for me Rick" she admitted as she turned her head to look at him. "We're getting married Rick" she stated as he nodded and smiled before leaning across to kiss her as his hand moved to her bump. "I haven't got a dress that will fit" she explained as the writer smiled and kissed her quickly.
"I thought you didn't care about things like dresses Kate" the writer laughed as she found his hand and laced her fingers with his. "But that's why I went out yesterday and bought you something beautiful while you were at the gym" he declared as shock covered her face, although she wasn't surprised that he'd thought of everything. "Would you like to see it Kate?" he asked as she nodded quickly and laughed as they both sat up and Rick moved towards the wardrobe before removing the covered dress. "If you don't like it, tell me and I'll go and buy you something else" he declared.
"Rick just show me the dress" she moaned as he smiled at her and began to unzip the package before revealing the white dress. "Oh Rick" she whispered as she stood up and walked towards him before kissing him. "It's beautiful" she mumbled before reaching out to touch the material. "I can't believe you've done this for me" she explained as he shrugged and kissed her quickly as he laughed. "When are we leaving?" she asked as he slowly hung the dress back up again. "Rick?" she asked as he stared at her for a moment.
"Our flight leaves in five hours" he stated as she groaned. "So get in the shower because we need to get dressed and packed and then we've got to get to the airport to meet everyone" he explained as she nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck as she stared at him in silence before leaning across to kiss him.
"You pack, I shower?" she suggested as he nodded and watched as she moved away before turning to look at him from the doorway. "How did I get so lucky to be engaged to you Rick?" she asked as she rested her hands on her bump and watched him for a moment as he pulled down a couple of bags.
"I think I'm the lucky one here Kate" he declared as she laughed before disappearing into the en-suite and shutting the door. Moving towards the bed, Rick looked down at Patterson's book that was seated on the floor. "Goodbye Patterson" he stated before gently kicking the book under the bed so Kate couldn't find it later.

"Here they are" Lanie squealed as Kate and Rick walked over to them with large smiles covering their faces. Moving away from Javier, Lanie quickly hugged her friend as Kate laughed and smiled at her friends and family who were beaming at her. "You're getting married to writer boy" Lanie squealed as Kate nodded and moved away to relax back against her fiancé.
"Writer man" both Kate and Rick stated as everyone laughed.
"I can't believe that my little girl is getting married" Jim declared as Kate rolled her arms and allowed her father to wrap his arms tightly around her as she groaned. "This year has been extremely dramatic Katie" he commented as she laughed, knowing that this year had defiantly been chaotic. "You die and then you come back to life, you get pregnant and now you're getting married. It seems like you've just grown up in the space of a year" he stated as he ran his hand to her cheek before gently pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'm so happy for you Katie".
"Thanks daddy" Kate whispered before pressing a kiss to his cheek. Gasping in shock, Kate quickly ran her hand to her stomach as everyone took a step towards her, fear covering their faces as she laughed. "The baby's kicking me" she smiled as everyone sighed in relief before Rick walked towards her and laughed when she grabbed his hand and brought it to her stomach so he could feel it too. "Feel that?" she asked as he nodded.
"We have one strong baby" he declared as she nodded and smiled up at her fiancé. "Defiantly takes after their mother" he commented as she rolled her eyes at him before laughing, unable to stop the smile that was covering her face. "Wow, this one isn't thinking about stopping anytime soon" he grinned as she nodded again.
"Can I?" Alexis asked as Kate nodded and watched as the redhead walked forward nervously.
"Come here" Kate laughed as she gently took hold of the redhead's hand and moved it to her stomach, a small smile covering Alexis' face as she felt the baby kicking. "What do you think?" she asked as the teenager nodded slowly.
"It feels so weird Kate" she commented as Rick tightly wrapped his arms around his fiancée and watched proudly. "I can't imagine feeling that inside of me, it just seems so odd" she stated as Rick looked at her in silence for a moment.
"You're not going to be feeling that inside you for a long time Alexis Castle, you're not going to be pregnant for a long long time pumpkin" Rick commented as everyone laughed at how determined he sounded about the whole issue. "Right let's go and check in and then we can all get on the plane and get ready for the wedding" Rick laughed before lifting the brunette into his arms as she squealed. "We're getting married tomorrow" the writer declared as she nodded slowly and kissed him as everyone began to walk towards the check in as Kate stared at him. "We should check in".
"Yes we should" she stated before staring at him. "You should put me down if we're going to check in Rick" she admitted as he across at her before kissing him gently and laughing when her feet gently touched the ground again. "I still can't believe that tomorrow I'm going to be Mrs Katherine Castle" she declared as she laced her fingers with him and walked towards the rest of the group who were waiting patiently in the queue. "I can't wait to be your wife Rick; I'm going to be the best wife you could ever have".
"Kate you're already the best girlfriend, fiancée and probably wife I could ever imagine" he declared before kissing her quickly. "You don't need to be anything but what you already are Katherine because you're perfect and wonderful and just extraordinary" he whispered as he brushed a stray piece of hair away from her face and leant down to kiss her gently as she smiled. "Let's go to Vegas and get married" he cheered before smiling.

"So are you two going to uphold tradition and stay in different rooms tonight or are you forgetting tradition completely?" Lanie asked as she stared at the two people who were sat together with their fingers laced and large smiles covering their faces.
"Of course not" Kate admitted before leaning across and kissing the writer as Lanie rolled her eyes at him. "I can't sleep without Rick beside me, I like to make sure that he's safe" the brunette stated as the writer nodded in agreement as they both turned to look at the ME who was watching them with a large smile covering her face. "Anyway, people didn't sleep in the same room because they couldn't have sex; Rick and I clearly have had sex as I am sporting a rather large baby bump" she laughed as her hands moved to rest on her baby bump.
"You do have a good point actually" Rick stated as he leant down and pressed a kiss to the bump, not caring about who saw. He loved is fiancée and he loved their unborn child! "So we're going to cuddle tonight?" he asked as she nodded.
"We're defiantly going to cuddle tonight" she stated before kissing him quickly while Lanie rolled her eyes and relaxed back in her seat, her head turning to see her boyfriend fast asleep beside her on one side and Kevin asleep on the other side of Javier. "I'm going to get some sleep" Kate whispered as the writer nodded beside her and relaxed when Kate gently rested her head against his shoulder. "I love you".
"Love you too" Rick smiled before holding her close.
