A/N: So in this chapter I skip three weeks from the first chapter, so about like 17 days or something like that from the last chapter. There is a reason I did this, it's very hard to write day by day for something that you want to happen in your story in three weeks, so unless you wanted 21 chapters of the same thing, enjoy this skip (: oh, and never visit the Apple Barn Restrurant on a day when you have ate before going, you'll eat so much and it's amazing! Someone want to ship me some Applewood Julip? Thanks! Oh and who's got two thumbs and a date with the Dixie Stampede tonight?! This girl! Who also has two thumbs and history guidebook work due Wednesday? This girl… So this is more of a very important filler chapter (:

Kate woke up for the third day in a row sick. The first day she just thought it was a bug and stayed home, but around nine she was fine. She wasn't going to let this consume the rest of her week, she was going to see Lanie tonight. They had been planning to go out for a little girls night out for a few days now, and so long as no one was murdered, they would have a hilarious night.

She couldn't deal with this anymore. She was tired of being sick, tired of the weird cravings, and the constant desire to take a nap. She never wanted to take naps. She never craved seasame chicken topped with strawberry yogurt either. When she was finally done emptying her stomach, or she hoped she was, she walked into the kitchen to luckily find she had just a few bites of shrimp lo mein left, and it would be great with some vanilla ice cream.

Today marked the second time in those three days that she had craved that particular meal. What was it with the weird cravings? Sure she would sometimes try new things, but not like this. Was it possible she was… oh no, no way. She couldn't even bring herself to say it, to herself. She ran into her bedroom to look for her calendar, she was late.

She couldn't let the guys know about this, she couldn't let anyone know about this. She got ready in a hurry and practically ran down to the morgue.

"Lanie I've got a problem!" She said, catching Lanie by surprised. "What? You look surprised."

"Kate I deal with dead people all day, someone running in my door saying they've got a problem is kinda scary." She reminded her.

"Right, sorry, but I've got a big problem." Kate reminded her in a panic.

"Ok, ok, what?" Lanie said sitting down the tools that she was using to examine a body.

"Can you…" Kate asked montioning to Lanie to cover the body.

"Oh, yea, sorry bout that." Lanie said covering the body.

"Ok, I'm sick, having weird cravings and…" Kate told her.

"You're late." Lanie finished for her.

"How'd you know?" She asked.

"I could tell, and I put two and two together with your first two symptoms."

"Lanie what am I gonna do?" Kate asked in tears and freaking out a bit.

"Take a test, and see if you're really pregnant." Lanie reminded her, it was a bit comforting, maybe she wasn't really pregnant, maybe she was just freaking out.

"Yea…" She said breathing deeply. She sat there for a minute letting it all sink it. "Lanie, what am I gonna tell Castle?"

"Well how about you find out if you're actually pregnant first? That's a good start." Lanie reminded her.

"Yea… Hey, how about we turn our girls not out into a girls night taking pregnancy test?" She asked on the verge of tears.

"Yea honey! No problem!" She said smiling widely at how scared Kate was. "Kate honey, you don't need to freak out until you know if you really are."

"Yea." Kate added.

"Ok, now, get back to work!" She told Kate with a reassuring smile.

"Thanks Lanie!" She said picking up her purse and walking out of the door, "you're the best!"
