One Night Stand
Chapter Fifty - "Contractions - Part 2"
At lunch...
Kate and Rick sat in a little cafe and sipped their hot chocolate while looking out at the sea.
"Still nothing," Kate huffed and bit her lip.
Rick grabbed her hand and stroke it gently. "It's okay Kate, you're doing a great job. It takes as long as it takes, don't worry."
She sighed. "I know but I just don't want to wait any longer. I mean, I've been carrying them around for the last nine months and now I just want to get them out of me, hold them in my arms."
He smiled. "Yes, I know that. We've also been together for seven months."
Kate put a huge smile on her lips and she closed her eyes, thinking of them. "Yeah."
Rick leaned over and kissed her passionately. "I can't believe it's been only seven months, my love. It feels like a lot longer."
"Well, technically it's been nine months and if you add the three years of us working together ... "
"And you trying to get into my pants."
"Me trying into your pants? I think you're wrong there. You tried to get into my pants!"
"You made goo-goo eyes at me all the time!"
"You kissed me! And you tried to get me into your bed all the time! Don't think I missed you checking me out whenever walking behind me!"
"What? I didn't!"
She gave him a look.
"Okay fine, I did. But just ... look at you! Every man checks you out!"
"And? I didn't care about all the other men!" she said and regretted it when she saw the grin on his lips.
"Oh? Why?"
She swallowed and rolled her eyes. "I cared about you. Are you satisfied now? I said it."
"No, I want to hear that you loved me. All the time."
"But that would be a lie."
"It would be?"
"Yes. Fine, you were my favorite author all the time, but you were a pain in the ass when we first started working together. I didn't love you at all, it took a while before you became attractive to me and even longer for me to fall in love with you."
"And how long did it take you exactly?"
"You first."
"I wanted to get into your pants at first. I mean, you were freaking hot, still are, and you just shrugged me off and I wanted to prove you that I wasn't what you thought I was. I fell in love with you in less than half a year. You were a mystery I was never going to solve, but I wanted to try and get as close to solving as I could. After a year I couldn't imagine not working with you anymore. I loved you and I wanted to be near you. All the time."
Kate smiled. "I fell in love with you after less than a year. Do you remember when you asked me to come to the Hamptons with you?"
He bit his lip and nodded.
"I was with Tom by the time and I wanted ... I wanted to make you jealous."
"You did?"
"Yeah ... I wanted you to want me, to ask me out."
He closed his eyes and groaned.
"When you asked me to come with you ... I wanted to say yes. When we sat there with the boys and Lanie and I asked you to talk to you in private, I wanted to tell you that I'd love to come with you, but just that moment ... "
Rick groaned loudly. "Gina."
"Yes. I had just broken up with Tom to go with you ... "
"Kate, if I had known that back then ... I would have never asked Gina to come with me. If I had known you had wanted to come to the Hamptons with me ... "
"I know. But it's in the past now, Rick."
He pulled her closer to himself and placed his hand on her bump. "I'm sorry, Kate, god I am so sorry."
Kate shook her head. "Don't be, Rick. I just ... I should have said yes when you had asked me."
He smiled. "And what if? What if you had said yes? What would have happened with us?"
Kate thought for a moment. "I don't know. We probably would have slept with each other."
"Like we do now?"
"Mmhh, probably a little less love making."
"No."
"No?"
"I would have made love to you Kate. Back then, even earlier, now and in the future."
She smiled. "Maybe, yes. Well, I don't know if we would have regretted it. Probably not. We may even had become an item." Her smiled grew bigger. "You may even had knocked me up."
"Maybe, yeah. I think we both would have liked it, just like we like it now."
"But we don't like it, Rick, we love it," she laughed and kissed him, before grabbing her hot chocolate and drinking a few sips. "Well, maybe we would be pregnant for the second time now."
"I think I would have liked that."
"Mmhh, me too," she said and laid her hand over his.
He wrapped his right arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Maybe ... " he began but stopped.
"Maybe what?"
"I just thought about something, but I don't want to scare you off."
"Just say it Castle."
"If you wish. I thought that maybe if we had slept with each other two years ago, and it had worked out, we could be married and have children."
Kate nodded slowly. "Yeah, maybe, but we can't change the past Rick, we only can change the future."
"Yeah, that we can do." Rick smiled when he thought of the engagement ring that was stored away safely in the safe in his office. He had bought it a few months ago but hadn't found the right moment to give it to her yet. He knew it was still too early. Well, for her. He didn't want to scare her off. He would marry her right now if he could.
"Hey, you okay?"
He looked into her eyes and nodded. "Yeah."
Kate smiled, though she didn't really believe him. He was up to something, but she didn't know what he was up to.
"It's nothing."
"Mmhh, nothing is a dear friend of mine."
"I'm fine, Kate. I promise," he whispered and kissed her passionately.
She moaned softly into the kiss before she deepened it, letting his tongue battle with her own.
Their breathing was a little shallow when they broke apart. They rested their foreheads against each other's and smiled.
"Do you know how much you affect me, Kate?" he asked softly.
"Mmhh, I think I do."
"Has anybody ever told you that you are one evil, naughty woman?"
"No, not until just now," she whispered into his ear. "But I'd love to know just how naughty and evil I am."
He shivered under her words spoken in her bedroom voice and swallowed. "Kate ... "
She grinned and her hand moved into his lap. "Yes, Rick?"
"God ... Kate, please."
"What is it, Ricky?"
He struggled. "Kate, please. I can't stand this ... "
"Mmhh, me neither."
"No, Kate, please."
Kate felt his erection through his pants and her eyes widened a little bit. "Oh ... oh god, I'm so sorry ... " she said and brought some space between them.
"Well, you affect me, Kate. Don't take this wrong, I like it, very much, I just prefer to be at home or in the car, or at least alone."
She nodded. "How about we go home, or somewhere private at least?"
He nodded and took her hand again.
As soon as they were home they lost their clothes on their way to the bedroom.
He covered her body with hot, wet kisses and his hands roamed her body.
They made their way to the bedroom and he laid her down on the bed.
She sat up and turned around, gathering a few pillows and stapling them against the headboard. She rested her bump on them, sitting on her knees and she felt Rick climbing into bed behind her.
"You sure?"
"Yeah," she replied and turned around her head to throw him a soft smile.
"Wait a minute Kate. Come here."
She obeyed and turned on her back for him.
"Good girl," he said in a low, deep voice and leaned down over her body. He covered her breasts and neck in kisses.
She moaned in pleasure, pulling his mouth towards her and kissing him hungrily.
He smiled into the kiss and his hand trailed down her body southwards. His fingers found her wet folds and he slipped two fingers into her.
She moaned and bucked against his hand.
"Shhhh," he whispered and his mouth moved to her left breast. He sucked on her hardened nipple and bit it softly, making her moan louder and whimpering his name.
He teased her a little longer, feeling she was close to falling apart. "You ready?"
"I need you Castle."
"I'll take that as a yes," he said and removed his fingers from her. He waited for her to make herself comfortable on her knees and the pillows again, feeling his erection pulsating and growing even harder. He groaned and swallowed hard.
"I need you, Rick," she whispered.
That was all it needed. His hands roamed her back, teased her breasts and his kisses covered her back as he placed himself right behind her. "You ready?" he asked again.
"Enter me already, Castle," she begged and he did as asked.
He entered her in one deep stroke making her moan loudly. "Oh god."
He steadied her waist with his hands when pushing in and out of her. He felt her tightening around his erection, making him feel veeery comfortable. He sped up a little making her moan in pleasure.
"God, please, go faster," she moaned.
He kept her waist still when he slipped out of her and thrusted into her, entering her a little deeper.
She cried out his name in pleasure. Loud. She tightened even more around him. "Deeper Castle."
He thrusted into her a little deeper and felt the pleasure. He sped up again and closed his eyes. He felt her come and leaned forward. "Come for me, Kate, come for me," he whispered. He thrusted into her fast and deep and felt her body struggle with the orgasm building deep inside of her, with need and pleasure.
She cried out his name when she came and melted into a little puddle, feeling the pleasure and excitement inside of her strong and the heavy weight of the orgasm gone. She felt him coming down from his high as well and sighed. "That was ... "
"Awesome."
"Yes," she said and smiled at him. "Ready for a round two?"
"Seriously? You're nine months pregnant."
"And I want you. I need you. Badly."
"As if I could ever possibly say no to you," he growled in a sexy voice and his hands moved to tease her nipples.
"Oh god," she moaned.
"Still want that second round?"
"Yes."
He smiled down at her and entered her again. He felt him hold her breath. He didn't move and leaned down to tease her neck. He bit her shoulder softly and slowly started to move inside of her again.
She closed her eyes in pleasure, feeling him move inside of her, and took a deep breath she held for a few seconds. She felt another orgasm build inside of herself and groaned, knowing he was only moving slowly inside of her.
The mind reader he was he sped up, thrusted into her deeper and made her come within a couple of seconds.
She cried out his name, her hands fisted into a pillow, her body felt like shredded into a million pieces, her wet pulsating with pleasure, her sweet juice and sweat covering their bodies.
Both of them were panting.
Rick fell on the bed next to her, his hand stroking her back.
Kate smiled at him. "God, we haven't had sex this great in some time," she whispered. Her hair was messy and damp, her smoky eyes and the smeared lipstick making her even sexier than she already was.
"Want a third round?" she asked.
"Wow, you really need it," he chuckled, earning himself a glare from her. "Only if you can handle it."
"Well, you're doing all the work and yes, I can handle it."
"Fine. Roll on your back and make yourself comfy."
She did as told, her body arching from pleasure as she moved.
It was a little after 4pm when Kate first felt a contraction again. She smiled excitedly and rubbed her bump. She was laying in their bed still naked. She had slept in after three rounds of sex with her boyfriend who had stayed with her and had watched her sleep.
Now Rick was nowhere in sight.
Kate sighed and got herself out of bed to get showered and dressed.
Ten minutes later she walked into the office where she found him writing on his MacBook. He had written a lot in the last three months. Mostly because Gina was threatening him. A new Nikki Heat book. Deadly Heat. That was as much as she knew.
"Hey," she said softly.
He turned around with a huge smile. "Hey. Slept long enough?"
"Mmhh. I had a contraction," she said with a smile before her lower abdomen cramped. "Make that two."
"Great!"
She leaned down to kiss him before he rolled his office chair back a little bit so she could sit down on his lap.
He put his arms around her and kissed her shoulder. "I guess you're determined to have them today, latest tomorrow?"
"Tonight."
He smiled at her. "Wanna read the chapter? I'm not quite sure I like it yet."
"Why don't you write something else when you don't like that scene?"
"Because Nikki gets hurt in that scene."
Kate nodded. "Shall I read it right now?"
"Yes."
"Okay." She scrolled up and read the scene while Rick watched her.
"Oh ... " he suddenly said.
"What?" she asked and turned her head to him.
"We haven't written anything into our babies' book yet."
Kate's eyes widened for a moment.
"I'll go and get it, okay?"
"Yes." She stood on her own feet and let him get Ho before she sat down again. She carried on reading while Rick got the book.
When she was finished reading he was walking through the door with their book. "Found it in the living room," he said and placed it on the table.
Kate moved to get up but Rick signaled her to stay put. He grabbed a pen and gave it to her.
She took it with a smile and opened the book on a blank page. She wrote the date of today and started writing. Hey little ones, today is the day your daddy and I have been waiting for for months. I had my first contractions yesterday and they are getting stronger. We hope we will see you soon, hopefully tonight. We can hardly wait to hold you in our arms. In love, your mother.
"Wanna add something?" she asked her boyfriend.
"Mmhh." He took the pen from her and started writing. Hey this is your daddy! Your mommy and I are impatient to meet you two. I've never seen your mommy this impatient and trust me when I say I've seen her impatient before. We have waited nine long months for you and now we're finally going to meet you. We love you so much. With love, your father.
"Sweet," Kate snored.
"What? You are impatient!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes you are, honey. You can hardly wait to push them out and hold them in your arms. Two tiny, crying bundles of love."
"As if you could wait."
"Never said such a thing."
She thought about it for a moment. He was right, he hadn't said anything like that. "Fine. When are we going to tell our family?"
"I'd say as soon as we get to the serious business. They'll have enough time to drive to the Hamptons and meet the latest familymembers."
"Fine with me." She felt her body cramping again.
"Not really far apart anymore, huh?"
"Around twenty minutes."
"Still a long way to go."
"Yeah ... "
Two hours later...
Kate was napping on the couch when she was woken up by at contraction. She sighed and snuggled deeper into her blanket.
"You alright?" a nervous voice asked.
She groaned. "Castle ... "
"What? I'm allowed to worry about you!"
"I know ... could you get me a glass of water, please?"
He jumped from the couch and made his way into the kitchen.
Kate sighed again and rubbed her bump. Between her contractions, which were now eighteen minutes apart, she tried to nap which was quite difficult with her boyfriend next to her whom was typing on his MacBook. She had thought Castle would be relaxed about the delivery and the time before, but she was proved wrong. He was a mess, a nervous wreck. She had thought she'd be the nervous mess, but she was calm and wanted to deliver them. Now she was annoyed by her boyfriend and wanted him to leave her alone.
"Here's your water. You sure you're alright?"
"Castle," she growled and took the glass of water from him to take a sip. "I'm fine. My contractions aren't strong and come every eighteen minutes since the last hour and I'm feeling good. I feel the babies move and they are kicking. We're fine."
"I know, but ... but maybe we should drive to the hospital already. I mean ... just to make sure ... "
She rolled her eyes. "If it makes you feel better?"
"Yes!"
"Fine, but not yet. Maybe in an hour? There is nothing at the hospital I can't do at home, too. Maybe call Addison again?"
"Yes! Good idea! Gosh, I love you," he said and kissed her. "I love you, too, babies. Daddy can't wait to meet you!"
"Mommy neither," Kate mumbled and watched him go into the office. She sighed in relief and leaned back against the couch. "You are bad babies. You are giving your dad a really hard time, do you know that?" The babies kicked her and she smiled. "Right, why would you care?" She got up slowly and made her way into their bedroom. She wanted to pick up some things. Get the bag for the hospital for example. She couldn't believe he hadn't already done that, even though being the nervous mess he was. Well, maybe he forgot about it.
In the walk-in closet she found a bag. She grabbed it, put it on the chair standing in a corner and started to pack some stuff. Knowing their babies' gender they already had packed the matching onesies. She stuffed them into the bag and went to get some stuff for herself. A pair of comfy leggings, a tanktop and some other clothes she might need for the next day.
After packing her bag she put it next to their bed and went to lay down when a scared "Kate!" rang through the house.
"I'm in the bedroom," she called out and made her way towards the living room where Rick met her halfway.
"Gosh Kate ... " he said breathless.
"What?"
"You scared me."
"Well, I figured when we need to go to the hospital today, I might need a bag with clothes."
He went pale. "Oh my god ... I forgot about it. I'm so sorry."
She chuckled. "Wow, just exactly how nervous are you?"
"Am I that bad?"
"To be honest? Yes. I'm going to call my dad now."
"What? Why?"
"I don't know, I just want to inform him, hear his voice. I haven't heard from him since Thanksgiving."
"Oh, well ... "
She smiled and put her arms around his neck. "I'm fine. It's okay, but really, I should be more nervous than you. You've already done that!"
"But that was nineteen years ago! And it wasn't with you."
She nodded smiling. "Fine, do what you have to do, but don't drive me crazy. Not today."
"Me? Who was the one who just couldn't stop having sex with me?"
"I just wanted to make it faster. The whole delivery thing."
"Why do I feel used now? And why do I like it?"
She laughed and kissed him softly. "Because you love me."
"That I do, Miss Beckett, that I do," he sang in reply and pulled her in for a long, passionate kiss before letting her go.
"I love you, too," she said and made her way over to the couch where she sat down and grabbed the phone. She dialed her father's number and waited.
"Jim Beckett."
"Hi dad."
"Katie! How are you?"
"I'm great, thanks. You?"
"Good. Are they there yet?"
She chuckled. "Not yet, but hopefully soon."
"Meaning?"
"You may start packing a bag. I'm having contractions and we will soon drive to the hospital to make sure everything is fine." She heard her father cry on the other end of the line.
"That's great Katie bug."
"Yes it is. God, we can't wait."
"And he's not driving you crazy? Or are you driving him crazy?"
She chuckled again. "No, I'm surprisingly calm. Rick is very nervous and excited, though," she said and stuck out her tongue at her boyfriend watching her.
Now her father chuckled. "Is he watching you?"
"Yeah."
"Sweet. So, how far apart are your contractions? Shall I be ready to come to the Hamptons tomorrow?"
"My contractions are eighteen minutes apart now. Yes, you should be ready to meet your grandchildren within the next two days, preferably tomorrow."
"Sounds good to me."
"Yes. I can't wait to see them and hold them in my arms."
"Just like your mother. She couldn't wait to hold you in her arms, too, but she was also, just like you now, surprisingly calm. I was a mess."
"Just like Rick and I are now."
"He's a great man, Katie bug. I'm happy for you."
"Me too. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. Well, beside the babies of course."
"Of course," he father laughed and smiled at his daughter.
"It was good to hear your voice, dad."
"Yes, it was good to hear yours as well."
Kate smiled. "I'll have Rick phone you as soon as they are born."
"I can't wait for his call, Katie. Take care and don't rush things. Nature isn't a thing to be rushed."
"We will take care. I'll see you soon daddy."
"See you soon, Katie," he said before ending the call.
Kate sighed and put the phone down on the table.
"What did he say? I saw the change in your expression."
Kate nodded and signaled him to sit down. She waited for him to sit down before leaning into his side. "He said I'm just like my mom. She was calm, too, when she was about to give birth to me. I miss her."
Rick put his arms around his girlfriend and kissed her hair. "I know you do, but nobody can ever replace her, Kate. You, we, have a big family around us that supports us and loves us and the babies and whom takes care of us."
"I know and you can't imagine how grateful I am for that."
He sensed that there was something going on in her mind. "What's the matter?"
"I wish Alexis was here with us now," she said and snuggled deeper into his side, his arms protecting her and making her feel safe.
