"That's for yours and Casey's baby." Morgan spat out before heading to Casey's apartment.
Morgan quickly headed to the apartment, he walked in and saw Alex sitting on the couch. He sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her.
"He's hurt but he's acting all tough, but I can tell that it hurt him." Morgan nodded, and kissed her.
Alex laid her head on his shoulder. To say Kim was pissed was an understatement. She could tell what Sarah said about Casey not wanting to be a part of the baby's life before it was born had hurt badly. He had already missed out on most of Alex's life.
"Do you want me to go talk to her about involving you in stuff?"
"No, I'm pretty sure Morgan said something, especially with the stuff I dropped off. Chuck most definitely did."
After Morgan walked over to Casey's house both Chuck and Sarah just stood at the door, their stuff and what Casey had bought still on the ground.
"I need to go talk to him, I know that was out of line." Sarah whispered.
She and Chuck finished picking up everything, including the bag that Casey brought.
"Wait until tomorrow, let him calm down. What's in the bags?"
"Some gender neutral clothes and nursery things." Sarah whispered, pulling the things out, showing Chuck.
"Let's invite both Casey and Kim over tomorrow and get the nursery set up and maybe one over at their house so the baby can spend some time with both of them in their environment as well as our environment." Sarah nodded, texting Casey, apologizing for the way she acted and asking him and Kim to come over tomorrow after work to help with the nursery.
Be over after work, should be around 4- Casey
Kim can come over too.- Sarah
Casey looked over at Kim, showing her the text Kim smiled.
"Guess Chuck talked to her." Casey said.
"You okay?" Kim laid down beside him, her head on his shoulder.
"I guess, this is all new territory for me. I never got to be a part of Alex's life this early. I didn't get doctor's appointments, now I didn't get to pick out baby clothes. I'm terrified about trying to raise an infant. I've never even held one." Casey rubbed his face.
"Come here, I have a little surprise for you."
"I need to get ready for work." Casey said.
"It won't take a second." Kim led Casey to his spare bedroom and she stopped, motioning him to open it.
He opened it, looking in he smiled slightly. It was organized to show where the crib, changing table and whatever else a baby room needed.
"I figured once we find out if it's a boy or girl we could paint it and decide on a theme. Sarah wanted a room over here and over at her's and Chuck's house and decorated all together by the four of us." Kim said.
"I will be happy however we decide."
"I think we need to sit down with Sarah and Chuck and discuss everything from who will be in the delivery room to the custody issues. What do you think?" Kim looked at him.
"I don't want to argue constantly about when we get him or her and when Chuck and Sarah get him/her." Casey said.
"I know he/she will not be spending the night the first few months because of feeding, though she could pump for the first few months. Don't worry about that, especially not for the next few months."
Casey nodded, and kissed her.
"I don't want to but I have to get to work. I'll come home before going over there to talk to Sarah if you and Chuck want to talk." Casey said.
Kim frowned, wrapping her arms around him tightly. She didn't let go after a few seconds.
"What's wrong?" Casey asked, as he rubbed her back.
"I'm afraid." Casey pulled back slightly to look at her, pulling her hair out of her face.
"Of what?"
"Losing you."
"You're not going to." Casey kissed her.
"How can I be so sure? You have a child with someone else."
"Well technically I have two with two different women. Also would a guy that would break up with you because of that reason do this?" Casey whispered, as he left to go back to the bedroom and came back getting down on one knee with a small ring box.
"John, you don't have….."
"I've been planning this since before Sarah and I were kidnapped. I was going to take some time off, take you to your favorite beach and propose." Casey said, as he opened the box looking at Kim.
"Yes."
"I haven't even asked."
"The answer will always be yes." Kim wiped her eyes.
Casey took the ring out, putting it on her finger after standing up. Kim kissed him, then stood looking at the ring.
"You like it? Alex and Morgan helped pick it out. They caught me in the store when they came to get their bands resized."
"Yes, it's perfect. Can you call in sick? You're already late and we'll do nothing until we need to go over to Chuck's and Sarah's?"
"Sure."
The rest of the day was spent laying in bed, talking about the future. Casey could tell something was wrong when he asked,
"Do you ever think about us having kids?"
Kim got quiet, really quiet, so quiet. Casey had been in the bathroom getting ready to go over to Chuck and Sarah's when he asked the question. He walked out, Kim was looking down picking at a string on the sheets. Casey sat beside her.
"What's wrong babe? You were talking and laughing then…. Do you not want kids with me?"
Kim just shrugged, refusing to look at him.
"I can't, I was in another relationship about 3 years ago before we met. We were really seriously in love and engaged the whole thing. We decided to get a jump start on things and start trying for a baby with no success. We got tested to see if anything was wrong and there was…. with me. I can't have kids and he left me that day. We got confirmation that there was no way to have kids biologically." Kim cried.
Casey wrapped his arms around her, kissing the back of her head.
"I love you, I know I don't say it out loud as much as I should, but no reason is going to change that."
"I love you too."
"We could always adopt or foster once we get married if you want?"
Kim nodded, as her phone pinged.
"It's Sarah, they will be home in about an hour. Morgan and Alex are coming, him and Chuck are going to help us get stuff ready here too." Casey grunted, an annoying one, Kim chucked and kissed him.
After breaking the kiss Casey pulled her onto his chest grunting a happy one.
"There's my favorite grunt." Casey smiled and did it again as Kim laid her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her head.
