I bring you the next chapter :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Castle sadly.
Kate's POV
Kate disengaged herself from Castles arm, grabbed his hand and pulled him into the break room. She closed the door behind them before taking a breath and looking at him.
"Rick, I know that you love me and I love you too, so very much but we still need to make plans, like doctor visits and living arrangements." She sighed.
He smiled "Kate, listen to me, you're very right, but the doctor visits are nothing to worry about, I will get the best OB/GYN in New York City and the living arrangements are simply fixed." He saw the confused look on her face and chuckled. "I want you to move in with me. Alexis is off to college this year and my mother is living with her fiancé, I have plenty of space and I hate being alone."
She opened her mouth wanting to say something but she couldn't. Her mind then went to images of what it would be like living with him. She remembered when she had woken in his arms, she had felt protected and safe. She then pictured what their baby would look like and Rick being the hands on doting father he had been with Alexis. She would be with him all the time, in work and at home and they could raise this baby together and everything would be right in the world, ok a little dramatic but still it would be great.
"You realize if I agree to this there's no getting rid of me?" Kate said smiling slightly.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Rick smiled.
She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him closer to her. "In that case, I would love to move in with you."
Rick's POV
He couldn't believe it, Kate Beckett had agreed to move in with him. He thought it was going to take more persuading on his end.
He had spent so long trying to get her attention, trying to make her see that he was in love with her, and now he got to spend the rest of his life with her, because although she didn't know it yet they were going to get married. He wanted their son or daughter to have a family, a real one, one with a mom and a dad and not tragedies. He wanted his child's life to be perfect, to have what he never had and to not have to go through what Kate had been through. He loved his daughter Alexis and he knew that not having both her parents there hurt her and he knew that this baby needed them both and Kate could be Alexis' mom maybe not biologically but that didn't always matter. He knew that Alexis could have someone to go to know other than his mother. He realized that Kate had been staring at him.
Kate's POV
"You are so right," he said with a chuckle.
"Why thanks for acknowledging that." She looked at him with a smile. "But what am I right about this time?"
He smiled, "The staring." He said simply. "It's creepy."
She laughed and pulled him into a hug, "I am always telling you that."
She smiled against his chest and breathed in the scent that was just Castle. I could get used to this she thought to herself. They pulled apart when the door to the break room opened. Lanie came in with a huge grin plastered on her face and two fifty dollar bills in her hands.
"Have you seriously been betting on us Lanie?" Kate asked.
Lanie looked at her. "Hey I have to make money from you guys somehow."
Kate sighed and looked up at Castle, he smiled reassuringly and put his hand on the small of her back. "Lanie, look I know that I didn't tell you but you have to understand that this was knew we were barely starting this," she made a hand gesture at Castle and then at herself, "relationship, and then all of a sudden I'm pregnant. We didn't expect this at all."
Lanie just smiled and hugged Kate very tightly. "Oh, Katie you know that I love you very much, and I know that eventually you would have told me. Although I have to admit I am a little surprised I did expect you and Castle to do the little bouncy bouncy but I never expected a baby, I mean come on girl you are smarter than that. , but writer boy is probably smarter than that, but don't get me wrong little Castle babies with your hair and his eyes," she squealed, "they would be so adorable!" she hugged Kate again and then stepped to where Castle was standing.
"Castle I just want to say one thing, if you ever hurt my girl or her baby you will pay, believe me our morgue has more than enough space for you if she or this baby," she gestured towards Kate's belly, "ever end up hurt you will PAY." She smiled and patted his arm.
Castle's POV
He laughed nervously and looked over to Kate for support but she was smiling at Lanie with one of her hands on her stomach, and that warmed his heart and made him smile. He couldn't stop looking at her, she just looked so beautiful.
He turned to look at Lanie "Lanie listen to me I am going to tell you what I told Kate, I love Kate with all my heart and now I love this baby, there are only four people in this entire world that I love and would die for under any circumstance and two of them are in this room." He looked at Kate and then at her belly. "Kate and that baby are two of them and the other two are my other daughter Alexis and my mother. Soon I won't have either of them living with me, so just think if I can still try and protect to people who aren't living with me what makes you think I wouldn't protect two people who I will see all day every day for the rest of my very lucky life."
Lanie just stared at him, "Well then ok I don't need to kill you." She said and walked over to Kate.
"Girl you are so lucky."
Kate nodded, "I know." She said before smiling at Castle and leaning into his side more.
