26

By 5:47am; Rick had woken up just out of the blue. It wasn't due to bad dream or anyrhing, he just woke up for the heck of it. During the course of the night, Kate had turn in bed so that she was facing Rick as they slept. So now with one of them up while the other slept the hours and minutes away; Rick did one of his favorite things…he watched his wife sleep.

Since that first night they had together in LA, Rick had fallen in love with watching Kate sleep. There was something about watching her that was a bit magical. It was sweet and beautiful at the same time.

To Rick, Kate looked like an angel as she slept. Midway through watching his wife sleep, they twins started kicking again. It was as if they knew from the womb that one of their parents was awake. They wanted their presences to be known without a doubt.

"Your mom is absolutely gorgeous when she sleeps." Castle said to his unborn children.

Even though she was fast sleep, Kate knew full well that Rick was talking about her. All of Rick's talking kind of woke Kate up. But instead of opening her eyes and revealing to her husband that she was up, Kate pretend to be asleep still.

As she pretend to sleep, Kate listen to the conversation Rick was having with the twins. It thoroughly entertained Kate. This was where she admitted to herself that she could hardly wait to meet the twins. Kate also knew that Rick would a great dad. Seeing how he was with Alexis reconfirmed that for Kate every time he saw it in person.

A lot of memories were going to be made once Harley and Liam arrived. It was hard to wait for that day to come. But of course, Kate knew that waiting was the only thing that she could do. Like every other expectant parent in the world today, Kate wanted everything to go right with the pregnancy. Two happy and healthy babies was all that matter to the expectant parents along with the extended family.

Over at the precinct, boredom was starting to set in a bit for Kate. Especially when the boys headed off to chase down a lead when it came to the murder case they had.

Kate had the murder board updated within seconds after the boys had left. She was even considering on dropping by the Medical Examiner's office for a change of scenery amongst other things but she knew that would cause too much of an uproar if she did venture down. Keeping peace was the best option at the morning.

So Kate went back to the paper work she had to keep her busy.
