A/N: So I had this chapter wrote, then something happened and my computer died and I it. Now I'm on my way to vacation yet again, we're in the middle of Louisville, in traffic, and the gas light just came on. Go us! Anyway, here you go! Oh, expect another couple of chatpers this weekend, maybe. I'll be spending alot of my time at the hospital, so if it has Wi-Fi (it should) I'll update! If not, Sunday sometime I will. Ooh! It's almost Monday! lol!

She cried for hours. Her body finally exhausted allowed her to get a few minutes of sleep before her phone rang. She expect Ryan or Esposito, maybe even Castle, but it wasn't, it was her dad.

She hadn't talked to her dad in a few days, he was probably worried about her. After her mom died, even when he turned to the bottle, he always made sure she was ok. There may have been times where he wasn't the best dad, but he tried, harder than any person she knew to be one.

Flicking open the phone she greeted him with a simple "hello."

"Hey baby girl! How've you been?" He asked. He was worried, she could tell.

Baby. How was she going to tell him? She had always been such a good kid, how could she tell him she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was? That didn't make her a bad person though. She was an amazing person, she just didn't know it.

She did however, know she wanted to tell him in person, and she was hungry, lunch would be perfect.

She didn't realize how long she had been caught up in her thoughts until she heard him ask "Kate?"

"Oh yea, sorry dad, I've been good. Would you want to get some lunch today?" It was later in the morning, close to eleven, perfect time for lunch.

"Don't you have to work?" He asked, she usually wasn't free for lunch.

"I'm just on-call." She didn't really know if she was on-call, but with her job, she probably was.

"Ok, um, how about Gladyss' on 25th?" He asked. Maxine's was a tiny little dinner with great southern food that Kate secretly loved. Her mother was from Kentucky and loved southern food, one of hundreds of things she inheritated from her mother.

"Sounds great. About noon?" She asked. She couldn't believe he suggested Gladyss', they had only been a handful of times since her mom died. It brough back alot of memories for the both of them.

"Perfect! I'll meet you there sweetie!" He told her.

"Ok, bye dad." She replied.

"Bye sweetheart, I love you."

"Love you too dad." She smiled as she told him she loved him. She was the only thing that mattered to him, and soon she was going to have that with a little baby of her own, and she knew he would be the same way.

Kate shut her phone and rolled out of bed. She had only got a few hours of sleep, and it was evident. Her tear stains and puffy eyes made her realize how bad she really looked. She need to get a shower, do something with her hair, and put some make-up on.

Picking out a modest top and some dark jeans she headed into the bathroom. She hadn't experienced morning sickness yet, that was a plus. She grabbed a towel from the closet and turn the water on, letting it warm up for a few minutes. She loved hot showers, burning hot. So did her father.

She hopped in the shower and felt the water hit her shoulder. It was almost calming and relazing. The shower soon turned into a sauna and she thought of how much she would love a massage and a day at the spa right now.

The spa. That would be a great thing for her to do on her first day off. She had yet to have a day off, what was a day off even like? She had no clue. The last time she went to the spa was with Lanie and she was on call and had to leave half way through their massage.

She thought about calling Lanie, but decided she would do it later. Lanie might be busy, but without a murder she probably was just looking over old cases or playing on her phone.

Finally Kate was done with her shower. It was already 11:45. Crap. She was probably going to be late. She dried off, got dressed and did her make up in a record 7 minutes. 11:52. Should she dry her hair? It was prektty warm outside for New York, she could just let it air dry, her father loved her hair like that, it looked just like her mother. She knew she didn't have the time blow dry her hair, and decided to head on her way as she was.

She wasn't too far from 25th. A few blocks, maybe she could get there in time, you know as long as the Jonas Brothers or something weren't in town and causing a fiasco. She hated celebrities like that. What talent did they have? Ooh, they could kind of sing, well she could too, that didn't mean she had teenagers chasing after her did it? No.

Before she knew it she was at Gladyss'. She walked into find her dad at a booth, with a cup of coffee. Is that where she got her love of coffee? He always drank coffee. It didn't matter what time of day it was, he always had coffee.

"Hey dad." She sad as she approached him.

"Katie!" He replied and gave her a hug.

She missed his hugs. They were like being home again.

"Hey." She replied nervously after their hug.

She sat down and put her hands on the table. Now was the perfect time to tell him, but she couldn't think about it for too long or he'd know something was up.

"Dad, I'm pregnant." She told him. She was incredible nervous.

"Katie! That's great!" He replied excitedly. "Who's the father?"

Katie never brought guys around to meet her family. Sure she had a couple of times, but then he knew it was very serious. If it was serious enough for them to sleep together, then why didn't he meet him already? He had met Will once before, he liked him, but he thought they broke up.

"Well, dad, I don't really know." She answered, she was always honest with him.

"Well Kate," he began. He knew it wasn't his place to ask who she slept with, she had a good head on her shoulders, she knew who she slept with. "Whatever happens, I'll always be here for you, and my grandchild, whatever you need, anything." His words didn't make sense as he was saying them. He felt like he was out of his own body and watching this unfold from afar.

"I know, thanks dad." She told him, tears beginning to sting her eyes.

Just as a tear was about to fall, her phone rang. Now was not the time for someone to be murdered, no time was, but especially now.

"Hello?" She answered. It was Ryan.

"We got a murder." He told her.

"Where?" She asked. She guessed she had to work.

"18th and Madison."

"Alright, I'll be there soon." She told him and hung up.

"You got to go baby girl?" Her dad asked. He didn't want her to go, he needed to stay and talk to her.

"Yea." She said ready to cry once again. It was amazing how she would be tough whenever work called, she wasn't about to let the boys know she was actually just a normal, emoitional girl.

"Ok, well, I love you sweetheart. Be careful." He reminded her just ask they leaned in to share another hug. "And take care of my grandbaby!"

"I will dad." That made her smile, she could already tell he was excited to be a grandpa.

With that, she left for work. Just another day back at the office for Kate Beckett NYPD, expecting mother.

A/N: Gladyss is my great aunt, well basically my great grandmother who is very sick and is the one I am visiting in the hospital today and she is an amazing cook, that's where I got "Gladyss'" from. The whole Jonas Brothers reference is because I, like Kate, think they have no talent and I don't like them at all. (:
