"Hello Rick."
The voice whispered, her smile too sweet. Rick is frozen, he can't seem to even blink. He takes a deep breath before addressing his intruder, "Gina what are you doing here!?" He hissed, never in his life had he been more frightened.
Gina lets out a cynical giggle, "I heard about Kate, I'm so sorry Ricky."
She was definitely anything but sorry, he tells himself. He manages to place a fake smile on his lips, "Thank you so much, now you can kindly leave please?" He opened the door, hinting his plea for her to leave him in peace. Gina rolled her eyes, she wasn't backing down any time soon.
"Rick come on, let's give us another shot! We were so good together." Her eyebrow raises and her mouth turns into a smirk. Castle cleared his throat, think Rick think. "You know you are so right, but I'm super tired..come back tomorrow." he would try anything to get her out.
Gina giggled, "Well alright." She lets out a low purr, trailing her hand up his toned chest. Rick resisted the urge to roll his eyes, why did he ever fall for her again? He was about to kick her out when a loud gasp startled both him and his ex. "What in God's name do you think you're doing?" A voice hissed, a voice he knew all too well. He cranes his neck to the side and screw his eyes shut. Kate
Gina scoffed, "Well well well look at this, poor Kate trying to get her old life back? You left him honey, and now I have another shot, now get out." Gina spat, not expecting Kate to stand up for herself. Rick stood frozen, his ex wife and almost ex wife were standing in his hallway about to claw each other's eyes out! And how did Kate even know where he was! Ugh couldn't she give him a peaceful day for one minute!?
"Ladies, by all means -feel free to kill each other, but please do it somewhere else." He gave Kate a grim smile and slammed the door, not even bothering to let her speak. He didn't even want to see this conversation that was about to happen outside his hotel suite. His mind was trying to process this, first his ex wife- technically never even his wife after the annulment and Kate..his almost ex-wife. Why was Kate even here? Surely she wouldn't have come all the way to England just for him. No one ever did that when you don't love someone, because she didn't love him anymore.
Yet..the look on her face when she looked at him indicated nothing but love. He groaned and rubbed a hand down his face, women. Maybe he should just go for a dog next time. He's never going to fall for a woman again! His heart has been broken way too many times. Castle glanced at the clock on the nightstand that read 4:30. He has a few hours before James comes to pick him up why not get comfy?
He had just changed into some pajama pants when he heard it. It sounded like crying? He figured it was either Gina or Kate. His mind figured Gina since he knew Kate would kick Gina's little-
He gingerly opens the door, expecting to find Gina wailing over a chipped nail but he was definitely surprised to see Kate with her knees to her chest, crying next to his door. His heart didn't want to feel anything, he wanted to let her get hurt! She deserved it, but out of his nature he couldn't just let her sit here and cry. From the looks of it the women had only just exchanged words, her clothes weren't rumpled or dismayed and her hair was still neat. He cleared his throat, "Kate..just come inside for a second before you disturb the other guests." He mumbles.
Kate sniffled, obviously surprised he was even letting her in. She didn't even know how she got here, one second she was threatening Paula to tell her where he was and the next she was on a plane on her way to London. She slowly stood up, her legs wobbly under her. She and Gina hadn't physically lashed out but they had exchanged words in which Kate definitely lost. Gina knew where to blow her hard and she won this round. She tenderly took his waiting hand and let him guide her inside. She watched how his body tensed, it made her cry even harder. She made him vulnerable towards her! She hurt her perfect amazing husband and now she was paying the price.
He led her to the bed and turned around to grab a chair for himself, had she messed us so badly that he wouldn't even sit next to her? She was really going to have to fix this. Rick handed her a box of tissues, no matter how mad and hurt he was she knew he was still a caring and nurturing person. That's how he was formed, it was who he was. She dabbed at her eyes and blew her nose freeing the mucus that had clogged in there. His deep, rich voice startles her, "Why are you here Kate?" his words were short and blunt.
Kate gulped, why are you here Kate? To apologize? To get your man back?
"I..I needed to see you, needed to apologize." She mumbles, ok, that's one place to start Kate.
Rick scoffed, obviously he didn't believe her. She watched his eyes, his usually bright blue, hopeful eyes were no longer bright and hopeful in the creaulean irises. Instead they were dark, grey and dull.
She gulped, never before had he looked so tired and so angry. The way his jaw squared and tensed when she tried to touch him or they way he retracted like he'd just been burned on the stove. "Kate no one's ever needed me before, except Alexis! Everyone I've let in and given my heart to on my sleeve has abandoned me, left me, and taken me for granted! And your just like them." he growled, jabbing his finger towards her.
Kate tries not to break down even more, She had never seen him so angry! If she hadn't have known him for all these years and known that he wouldn't physically touch her then she would have been scared to death.
"Rick I know I've hurt you.."
Rick scoffed, "Hurt doesn't even begin to describe it! You left me Kate! For three months and the whole time I wondered, was it me? did i do something." Kate was about to jump in, it wasn't his fault in anyway! but he beat her to it, "And then I said to myself no it's her issue, if I did something I would have known, Kate's just to busy playing super cop." He faked a smile.
Kate gulped, "And the sad fact is..I was really excited to start a family with you! We were ready to have children, and now.." He slumped his shoulders in defeat. Oh no, Kate's mind went blank. His mention of them wanting a family reminded her.. She was late, she was 3 weeks later! Oh no, no no no!
She quickly jumps of the bed and runs into the bathroom, she locks the door because she knows he'll come after her if he thinks shes in danger or hurt. Her sobs come back and her body was shaking. If she was pregnant then Rick would most likely take the baby when it was born! He was the one with the stable career, he had the wealth and the good background, any judge could see that. He would have custody and if he wanted to he could make sure she didn't have visitation rights. Kate gulped, she knew Rick wouldn't do that. Even if he hated her, even is she was the last person on earth he wanted to see he still wouldn't keep her child away from her.
Deep breath's Kate, Deep breaths. She turns around praying their was something she could find. As luck would have it, in the courtesy basket behind her there was a box of pregnancy tests. Thank God for 5 Star hotels! She quickly grabs a box and takes the stick out. It seemed easy enough, If the lines turned to pink then she was pregnant if not..then it was a false alarm.
She breathed in and took a deep breath, yeesh Kate be a woman.
Rick was confused more than ever, one minute they were talking and the next she was running into the bathroom. He sighed, maybe she was sick?He chastised him for even caring! As much as he wanted to be vengeful to her as she hurt him he still cared and loved her. He slowly made his way to the bathroom and lightly tapped it,
"Kate? are you ok?"
The click of the lock turned and the door slowly opened, Kate had tears streaming down her already puffy eyes.
"Rick..I know you hate me right now but.."
He carefully eyes her, what was she trying to say?
Her eyes fill up and tears build up in her eyes, she blinks them away in some attempt to not look as remorseful. She gives herself one more pat on the back for confidence. Kate brings her head up and stares at him as best as possible.
"Rick, I'm pregnant."
AN:| Oh no she didn't...
Oh yes I did sista...
I hope you guys enjoyed it! Big twist I know! But don't worry, Rick isn't going to easly forgive her and their not going to fall back into things as if it never happened! In fact now that theirs a baby involved Rick could be even madder because he probably thinks she only came back because of the baby! Who Knows! We shall see ;)
