"I can't think right now, it's just wow, a baby" he commented, worrying her as she stared at him as he kept his hands gently on her stomach. "I need to know, I don't want to get my hopes up if you're not pregnant Kate" he explained as she slowly nodded, her arm reaching out to grab her bag which was resting on the table. Opening it, she pulled out the box that she had purchased earlier with the test in, a small nervous smile appearing on both their faces as they sat up and sighed. "Do you want to do it now?" he asked, his eyes locking on hers as she slowly nodded and slipped off the bed, her whole body shaking with both fear and excitement.
"Rick I'm scared" she admitted, worry filling her veins as she thought about everything. In the next few minutes she could become a mom, she was going to have a baby and she hadn't even thought about having a child yet, if ever and that's what nerved her. What sort of a mother would she be if she hadn't even thought about having a baby yet? Feeling his lips on her forehead, she smiled as he held her close, pressing the box into her hands as she continued to stare into his blue eyes, knowing he wouldn't run away if she was. Richard Castle wouldn't run off because she'd gotten pregnant, he'd married one woman because of the fact and she knew how much he adored children and he would never abandon his own. She'd seen him with Alexis and knew he'd be an amazing father to their child if she was pregnant.
"I'll be right here" he said simply as she walked backwards towards the en-suite, her eyes not moving off his as she stopped by the door. "Always" he promised, a small smile appearing on her face as she noticed the sincerity that covered his face, bringing her the confidence she needed to step into the room and do the one test she'd never planned.
The next few moments past slowly, Rick pacing up and down the bedroom while waiting as Kate stood in the bathroom, waiting for the test to be completed. Opening the door slowly, she stood there, staring out at him as he stopped pacing and stared at her, waiting. Smiling, she felt the tears run down her cheek as she began to nod, his arms wrapping around her as he lifted her into the air, a squeal leaving her lips as she slowly stared at him, her fingers running across his cheek as they moved closer and she pressed a kiss to his lips.
"Rick we need to talk about this" she admitted as they stood there for a moment, his hands pressed on her stomach as hers moved to join his. "It's a big thing Rick, having a baby together when we've honestly just started a relationship" she sighed, his hand moving from under hers to rest on top of it.
"Kate, can we just have one moment where you don't think about the future?" he asked, a small smile appearing on his face as she slowly nodded. "How do you feel about this Kate? It's a big change for you" he admitted as she sighed, moving away slowly to sit herself down on the bed and relax, Rick quickly joining her as he wrapped his arms tightly around her. "I've had a daughter already by accident and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I have all the time in the world to dedicate to a child but you've got your job and I know how much you wanted to wait until you were married and had a proper relationship before they even thought about kids" he admitted as she looked up at him.
"Honestly Rick, what luck have I got in getting married with my job?" she asked as he rolled his eyes. "I want a baby and although it's not how I planned, you're my best friend and I trust you. I know that you'll look after both of us" she smiled, resting against him as they sighed. "But tomorrow we have to talk about this Rick, plan what we're going to do" she ordered as he nodded, smiling as she moved up and pressed a kiss against his forehead. "You will look after us?" she asked, her voice sincere with worry as he ran his fingers across her cheek.
"I would marry you if I knew it would be what you wanted but I know you Kate. You want love, respect, not a quick marriage because I've got you pregnant" he admitted, a smile growing on both their faces as she stared at him, her fingers running across his cheek as she stared at him. "I won't make the same mistake as I made with Meredith Kate, I got her pregnant accidentally and I might have done it again but at least with you we can get through this properly".
"You would honestly marry me if it's what I wanted?" she asked, a laugh leaving both their lips as she stared at the ceiling, her hand remaining on her stomach as she smiled. "I'm pregnant Rick" she smiled as he nodded. "You do know that means I have to put with you forever, I'll probably end up wanting to shoot you more than ever".
"It will be worth it Kate to just have a baby with your eyes" he admitted, shocking her slightly as she smiled, her thoughts running to that of a child with their features and the rest of her life with Richard Castle, these thoughts causing her to fall asleep in his arms once again where she felt safe, their hands resting perfectly on her stomach, keeping their secret safe.
Right I know it's short but the next one will be longer, I promise. Anyway, I dislike the ending but hopefully you enjoyed it and review. The response to the last chapter was amazing and I do love hearing from you. I most likely will update again tomorrow if I get a good amount of reviews!
