It was getting late and Jim was just leaving, Kate was saying goodbye to him at the door while Rick and Martha were sat in the kitchen. Alexis had excused herself earlier leaving the adults to themselves.

"Okay so I'll see you on Wednesday for lunch?" Jim asked.

"Yes dad." Kate smiled. "Thanks for coming over tonight."

"Thanks for having me over." They both leaned in and hugged each other. "See you on Wednesday Katie."

"Bye dad." She shut the door behind him and turned walking towards Rick and Martha. "My dad says thanks for having him."

"It was our pleasure." Rick smiled. "I can't wait for him to bring the baby photo's of you."

"And as always I have Martha to provide me with blackmail evidence."

Martha grinned. "I would be happy to provide you with anything Kate."

"Okay ladies before you start plotting my demise I think the party is over." Rick chuckled.

"Don't worry Richard we won't stop plotting just yet." Martha said. "But you're right it's getting late." She stood up and hugged Rick before turning to Kate. "It has been a lovely night dear." She reached out and wrapped Kate in a hug.

"I had a great time too Martha." Kate smiled and returned the hug.

"Don't worry I'll be sure to bring Richard's photo's tomorrow." She whispered into Kate's ear. "Okay see you tomorrow kiddo's." Martha said releasing Kate and heading for the door.

Rick came up behind Kate and wrapped his arms around her waist giving her a kiss on her cheek. "So will you stay tonight?"

She laced her fingers with his and smiled. "I guess I can."

"You know we need to talk about when you're going to move in."

"We will, just not tonight." She turned to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a short kiss. "I want to go and have a quick word with Alexis if that's okay."

She searched his eyes looking for something in them, he smiled at her. "That's fine, you want me to come?"

Kate shook her head. "No I'll be fine, you just put a movie on we can watch when I come back down."

"Anything you want to watch?"

"As long as I'm with you it doesn't matter." She grinned.

She stood back and released him before turning and heading up the stairs. She saw the light streaming from under Alexis' door which meant she was either studying or reading. She knocked lightly on her door.

"Alexis?" She called out.

It was a few seconds before she heard a faint. "Come in." Kate opened the door slightly and heard the soft Jazz music that Alexis had playing in the background. She looked to the desk and noticed the chair empty, she then glanced at the bed and saw Alexis was lying staring at the ceiling.

"Hey have you got a minute?" Kate asked leaning slightly against the doorframe.

"Yeah sure." Alexis sat up and reached for the remote to turn off the music. She made room on the bed for Kate to sit beside her. Kate walked into the room and closed the door slightly and sat next to Alexis on the bed.

They sat in silence for a few minutes neither knowing what to say. Kate turned to look at Alexis and bit her lip not knowing where to start or what to say, even though she had asked to talk.

"Alexis." She said gaining her attention. "I just wanted to see if you're alright with everything. I mean I know you said you're fine but I just wanted to make sure."

Alexis looked at Kate and smiled slightly. "You're worried." She pointed out.

Kate chuckled slightly. "Well I'm sure you can understand why. I mean when you found out we were together you were excited, and then we tell you we're having a baby and you go all quiet on us."

"I'm sorry about that I just guess you caught me by surprise." She turned and faced Kate. "But I really want you to know that I'm fine with it, god knows how many times I've asked dad for a brother or sister."

When Kate turned to look at Alexis she gave her a smile which Alexis returned. "I want you to have something." Kate said.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, that had been folded and refolded countless times over the past couple of days. She handed it over to Alexis and watched as she unfolded it to see what it was.

"Me and your dad went to an appointment the other day. They took this." She pointed to an area on the sonogram and smiled. "That right there is your soon to be new brother or sister."

Alexis stared and then she leaned over and took Kate into a hug. "Thank you."

"If you like you can come to our next appointment."

"I'd like that very much."

"On another subject would it be too soon if I moved in?" Kate said after they had separated again.

Alexis let out a small laugh. "I promise not to freak out when you say you are."

"I'm glad." Kate smiled and then stood up. "I guess I will see you in the morning. Is there anything you'd like for breakfast?"

Alexis shrugged. "I'm sure whatever you do will be fine."

With that Kate turned and opened the door again before walking out. "Night Alexis."

"Goodnight Kate."

She shut the door and then walked downstairs where Rick was already sitting on the couch flicking aimlessly through the channels. He had his feet up resting on the table in front of him and had changed into a t-shirt and sweats.

"Well don't you look comfortable?" Kate grinned going to sit next to him.

"Finally, you're back. I can't decide on a movie so you're going to have to pick."

"I give you one task and you can't even do that." Kate playfully rolled her eyes before going to select a DVD.

"Will you punish me later?" Rick asked.

Kate turned and saw him smiling playfully at her his eyes glistening. "If I did that then you would do it again."

"So that's a no then?"

"It's not a yes and it's not a no." She smirked. "You know you're going to have to get more movies, I just can't find one."

She let out a sigh before returning to her original spot next to him. She wondered why he hadn't asked what her and Alexis had spoken about. He was always curious about what they spoke about and knew he would question her soon. After a few seconds she decided not to worry about it and she moved closer to him.

"So anything good on TV?" She asked as she rested her head on his shoulder. He absentmindedly ran a hand through her hair and gave out a sigh.

"Not really, makes me wonder why I even pay for these channels."

She laughed and made a move to get the remote from his hand. Before she got it he moved it away from her and held it above his head.

"Hey!" She turned her body to face his. He was grinning at her and she could see his eyes were daring her to get it. She made a move to grab it again and he quickly dodged her hand.

"Is there a specific reason I can't have the remote?" She asked.

"I just like having it. Is that a problem?"

"No, no not at all." She said innocently. She moved close to him and her lips hovered over his. His eyes darkened and she stared at him. Willing him to make the next move.

"Don't expect to trick me."

"I don't expect to do anything." She whispered.

He moved forward and their lips met, her eyes closed followed closely by his. When she deepened the kiss his defence broke and his arm that had still been high in the air came down, he dropped the remote and came to rest his hand on her hip. She smiled grabbing the remote and breaking away from him.

"Thanks Kitten." She smirked.

"Oh you are so going to regret that." He said taking the remote and throwing it across the room before picking her up. She let out a small squeak in surprise before smiling and kissing him again.
