Note to readers: This story jumps around in time a lot. This chapter is going to be told from Kate's POV only! Kk? Wait, I can't hear you guys. Enjoy! Oh, and I still don't own Castle.
Chapter Three
Kate's POV, Rick and Kate's apartment, 2 years later.
"Hey." Rick snuck up behide me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Hey, did you drop Alexis off on time, today?"
"Yes, I drop her off fifteen minutes late once, and everyone makes fun."
"It was the seventeenth time." I half laughed, half said.
He looked at me, "So what?"
"So, you made her late that many times in less than a month, and there are only about twenty days of school in each month."
"She was on time today." Rick pointed out, obivously proud of his sucess.
"And you're sure about that?"
"Yes." he said, then sighed, "I can't believe I'm engaged to you."
He was most likely joking, "Jerk!" I kinda yelled at him, and pushed my way out of his arms. I walked away.
"I was joking." He said defencingly. I tried fighting back my smile, "You better make up your mind now, because in less than three days we will be married."
"Not happily." I mumbled, trying to make him think I was serious, I don't think it worked.
"Okay, fine then we won't get married."
"Fine."
"Wait. What?" He asked confused, "No, that's not what I wanted to happen."
"You said it."
"No, I was joking," He paused, "Are you serious?"
I couldn't fight my smile anymore, "No, of course not, I love you."
"And you're sure about that, because a minute ago when I said that we shouldn't get married you did say fine?"
"Yes, I love you." I walked over to where he was standing, looked him in his deep blue eyes and repeated, "I. Love. You." I enfaseized each word.
"I love you too." He whispered and pulled me in for a kiss.
"We need to go."
"Yeah, and we need to tell your dad."
"Yeah, and your mom."
"Anyone else?"
"Yeah, but the rest of the people we can tell them later."
"After the wedding."
"Yep." I said grabing my coat and purse.
We met my dad at his cabin, he thinks we're going to talk about the wedding. Oh. My. Gosh. I am so not ready for this. Any of it.
My dad and Rick both sit at the table we're waiting for Martha, so we can tell them at the same time, and I pour three cups of coffee. I hand the first to my dad, the second to Rick and I take the third and join them at the table. Martha call and said she'd be about twenty minutes late.
After Martha gets there, we tell them, and it went a lot better than I planed.
The way I thought it would go:
"I'm pregnant." I whispered while my dad and Martha were talking about the flowers. They stopped talking, my dad looks at Rick and me.
"What?"
I nod, he throws a chair, and curses a bunch. Yelling at us. Martha just sits there, not believing what she'd heard.
What kind pf person gets pregnant four months before she is supposed to get married? I ask myself.
How it really happened.
I couldn't speak, because I was afraid that if I opened my mouth that I'd throw up. I couldn't tell if I felt nausous because I was pregnant or if it was because I was nervous.
Rick noticed that and just told them flat out.
"You both are going to be grandparents." They looked at him, "Kate is four months pregnant."
"What?" My dad asked, but not how I thought.
"Darling are you serious?" Martha asked Rick.
"Yeah." He said.
"That's great." They both said in unison.
I looked up with my eyes wide.
"Katie are you okay?" My dad asked me.
"Well, yeah, but I kept replaying a bunch of different scenarios and none of them went anything close to that."
They all laughed, "How'd it go in your head Katie?" My dad asked.
"Well, you threw a chair." I said in a small voice, "And cursed a bunch." they laughed, "It's not funny!" I demanded.
"Yes it is, because if I wasn't expecting that I probly would've thrown a chair." My dad said.
"What? You were expecting that we'd tell you we are gonna have a kid?" I jumped out of my chair.
"Yes."
"Why?"
He shrugged, "I don't know, I just was."
"Oh, okay." I calmed down, and sat back down.
The rest of the day was pretty calm, except for most of the day.
My list of things to do today: (the list I made this morning)
Do last minute planning for the wedding
Tell my dad and soon to be mother-in-law that Rick and I were expecting
Pick up Alexis from school, and take her to finally get her flower girl dress
Hang out with Lanie, who won't tell me about my batchlorette party (I might have to tell her I'm pregnant, so she'll know not to plan anything including alcahol)

I was so happy when I finally was able to just sit down. Then I had to get back up and run to the bathroom. When I got down thorwing up, I sat back down on the coach and finished watching 'Scooby-Doo Where Are You?' with Alexis and Rick.
