When Kate woke up to the smell of bacon cooking, she smiled, but didn't get up. She lay there, knowing Castle would be bringing her food. She knew he loved doing it so she stayed put so he could bring it to her. She was 38 weeks along today, and Lanie was coming over to help paint the nursery. Kate wasn't able to stand for long periods of time without taking breaks, so Lanie was coming over to help speed up the process. They'd already bought all the furniture for the nursery, all that was left to do was paint. Kate wasn't able to stand up for long periods of time without taking breaks so Lanie was coming over to help speed up the process. Kate was lost in thought when Castle walked into the room.
"Hey babe, you're up!" he said.
"Yeah, I'm up but I wish I wasn't. I feel like I haven't slept at all." She could feel that she was on the verge of getting a headache.
"Castle, I hate to break it to you, but I'm not really hungry." She said referring to the plate of food he was holding.
He looked at it. "That's okay. I'll eat it." He said.
Kate closed her eyes, rubbing her temples, trying to rub the ache in her head away.
"Headache?" he asked.
She nodded, but it hurt to even do that, and she winced at the pain. "It's probably a migraine." She said, hoping it wasn't but knowing it was.
Castle put the plate down. He wasn't really hungry anymore. It hurt him to see her in pain.
"Dad?" they heard Alexis calling from the living room.
"In my room!" he called.
"Ssshhh!" Kate shooshed him.
"Sorry." He whispered.
"I'm going to the library." She said. She saw Kate's expression and stopped.
"Mom..? Are you okay?" she asked.
Kate shook her head, wincing again at the pain.
"She's got a migraine." He told her.
"Oh. Sorry. How's Dylan?"
Kate smiled, looking down at her belly, moving one her hands to rest on it.
"He's likes moving a lot so I haven't gotten much sleep lately. Which kind of explains the headache."
"Sounds like he's going to be a lot like dad." she said.
"That's a good thing and a bad thing." Kate said looking at Castle, who grinned.
After Alexis left Lanie showed up and she and Castle painted the nursery while Kate slept.
After they finished Kate got up to admire their work.
"Great job Castle." She said giving him a kiss.
"Thanks!" putting an arm around her shoulder.
