"I can't believe you are pregnant!" Castle beams as he reaches over and pulls his wife into his arms.

"Are you sure you want this?" Castle is worried now as it hits him. They had talked about having another kid but could not remember if Kate had fully made the decision that she was ready to have another kid.

"Oh, I'm sure, I wouldn't have made you forget that condom would I?" Kate chuckles as she tries to kiss her husband. He notices what she wants and helps her to his lips as he kisses her again.

"I'm still in shock."

"Me too."

"Do you know how far along you are?" Castle asks shifting so he can put his wife in his lap and rest his hands on her stomach.

"Doctor told me roughly 12 weeks. My due date is September 8th." She tells him as she rests her hand on his.

Letting the magic last for a few more minutes, Kate and Rick are watching the kids play happily while Martha and Jim sit on the couch watching.

"Can I go ride my bike papa?" Sidney asks as he runs up to his grandfather and tries to pull himself into the mans lap. Helping him up, Jim sighs as he adjusts the boy on his lap.

"You have to ask daddy, but I'm sure he will say yes." Jim smiles softly at Sidney as he jumps down and runs over to his father.

"Daddy, we go ride my bike?" He asks, pulling on Castle as he begs to go outside.

"Sure, buddy, we just need to get some warm clothes on, its cold and snowing outside," He tells Sidney as he gets up and helps Kate up off the floor.

Ushering his son up to his room to change, Castle takes Kate to their room so they can change. She wants to go outside to see her son on his bike, but the fact that she can't see him makes her want to just stay inside.

"You don't have to do this you know." Castle sighs as he kisses his wife's head softly.

"I know, but I think I want to." Kate smiles softly humming as she feels her husband kiss her.

"Are you sure?"

"I wasn't at first, but I need to get out of the house, it will be good for me."

They get dressed and the family heads downstairs. It takes them a few minutes to set up Sidney's bike and get outside so Castle can help him ride his bike up and down the block. Before they leave, Castle grabs a lawn chair for Kate, and they head out.

Heading outside, Martha is holding Victoria as Jim holds the bike and Castle makes sure Kate is safely down the stairs. It's cold when they do make it outside, but everyone is all bundled up so it's not that bad. Putting Kate into the chair, Martha sets Victoria in Kate's lap so she can help Castle with Sidney.

It does not take him long, and Sidney is riding up and down the block on his new bike. He's in heaven, zooming up and down the street like a race car driver. He wants to take the training wheels off a while later, but Castle has to explain to him that they will once the snow melts and it's not so cold and wet.

Zooming past his mother, Sidney lets out a huge giggle and the brightest smile Castle has ever seen. He's happy, which makes Castle happy, which hopefully makes Kate happy. She had thought she'd love being outside. She did, but only because it was the fresh air. Yes, she could see her son but barely. As he whizzed by on his bike, all Kate could see was a blob of color. He was so blurry; Kate could barely make him out. She hated not being able to see him clearly.

Some of her friends had asked her if this would be something she could have fixed. That she could have surgery, and it would be reversed and go away. Sadly she had to tell them no. She hated having to tell someone she loved that she loved that she would never see them again. That no matter what they did it could never be fixed.

Sighing, Kate sat in the chair. She could feel antsy Victoria on her lap as she kissed the little girls head. She knew she wanted to get down, but Kate could not let her.

"Down, down!" The girl cried as she kicked her feet.

"Mommy says no, we have to get daddy." Kate sighs softly holding her daughter tighter.

"Down mommy, down!"

"No, Victoria, mommy can't see you on the ground, hold on ok?"

"Rick?!" Kate calls out as Jim comes up behind her.

"What do you need Katie?" He asks, carefully coming around to her front so she can see him hopefully.

"Take her daddy, she needs to get down," Kate sighs, waiting for her father to take her two-year-old from her lap. He does and puts the little girl on his hip.

"What do you think baby girl?" Jim smiles softly rocking the child on his hip. She's not happy because she's not on the ground running around.

"Ok, hold papa's hand," He says, setting her wobbly legs on the ground.

"There you go little one; let's go walk to see daddy."

Kate is sitting in her chair as she listens to her father. It makes her happy to hear her father interact with her youngest. She's having a bad day, but this is helping her. Its slowly but surly bringing up her spirits.

"You watching mommy?" The little boy asks as she zooms by again.

"I am baby; you are doing great!" She smiles hearing his little bell ring.

"Five more minutes Sid, daddy is hungry."

"Buhh Daddy!" The boy pouts as he zooms past again.

"Don't but me, Sidney Jude Perlmutter," Castle warns watching his son ride back towards him.

"Mommy want's to go inside too; it's getting cold."

"Fine…" He pouts getting off his bike and walking up to his gram. When his mother is mentioned, Sidney seems to listen better and react better to things. He knows how much his mother needs his father care and when his dad says let's go, he means it.

Packing up their things, the family heads upstairs to the warmth of the loft and starts on lunch. It's just a simple ham dinner, but Ham seems to be the thing that everyone seems to like in the family. While putting the ham in the oven, Castle had remembered he had one last gift for his wife. He'd been so excited about the new baby he completely forgot about his gift.

Helping Gram set the table; Sidney wraps the napkins in the holders just as Martha had showed him. It was easy, but something he enjoyed doing and loved helping.

"Thank you for helping Sidney, Gram really appreciates it." Martha smiles as she kisses his head.

Serving up lunch, the family sits down to have the meal and just enjoy the company. Before he forgets, though, Castle gives Kate her last gift. He starts off by telling her he was so wrapped up in the news of the new baby that he had completely forgotten about this gift. He continues on by dropping little hints about what it may be and finally gives her the gift.

"I can't give you the actual gift now because they are still in training but this is harness for your very own seeing-eye dog, I remember hearing the doctor say you qualified for one, but you were not ready," He says, setting the harness on the table.

"I know this is hard for you because you like to be independent, but I think this would help you even more, you won't need me as much anymore and with the baby coming they will be great help."

"You did this castle? You matched me?" She smiles softly.

"Yeah, I wanted you to be more confident, get out more by yourself," He says reaching over and hugging his wife.

"Thank you, babe, really, this means a lot to me."

"Always."

A/N: Ok so I know this is way under my 2,000-word goal, but I've been doing other things and wanted to get this to a stopping point. Oh, and by the way, I'm referring to the dog as "They" because "They" still does not have a name. I need your help for that. In my other fanfic, the Castle's service dog's name is Dax. I have two service dogs in my book I'm writing named Parsley and Blu. If you have any ideas on what he/she should be named, please shoot the ideas in the reviews. It would be nice if the dog had some kind of Castle themed name that's something Kate would pick because it's her dog. I'll take boy and girl names. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed.
