Chapter 9

After being check over by Lanie, and being given the all clear despite his ever-blackening eye, and signing a piece of paper he was told was an assault charge, Montgomery told Kate and Rick that they were to go home. "And that's and order." He said. So Kate called for the car and they headed for the elevator.

They slowly made their way down to the bottom floor of the 12th and waited just outside the door, Kate claiming that she needed some air. They had only been standing there for about five minutes when their car pulled up and Murrey, the driver, got out to help them both into the car. Inside the car Kate snuggled into Ricks side as Murrey pulled the car into the flow of traffic and headed towards the loft.

-!-!-!-

There was a shady figure lurking in the shadows just down from the main entrance of the 12th, a photo of Detective Kate Beckett firmly in hand. When the woman in question exited, a man by her side with a rather black eye, the shady figure straightened, watching them intently.

Kate Beckett leaned into the man's side. One Richard Castle, mystery writer, it was to be presumed since she was pregnant with, presumably, his child. Though the Boss would like to think differently from what I hear. The shady figure thought.

A car was seen to arrive, and the driver helped the couple into the car; then resumed his position and pulled into the flow of traffic.

The shady figure scampered to a dark coloured car and followed them at a discrete distance until they arrived at a large apartment building and parked across the road and waited. They had to come out at some point.

-!-!-!-

When they arrived back at their loft Kate was insistent that Rick lay down, at least for a little while. He agreed, but only if she came with him, and since she was rather tired they both ascended the stairs to their room.

After making sure Rick was comfortable, and that there was Tylenol and water on his bedside table, Kate finally climbed into bed and snuggled into his warm embrace. She quickly felt him drifting off to sleep and was happy just to relax with him beside her. As she laid there, only her thoughts to amuse her, she thought back on the first night they had made love, in the very bed they were laying in now. Not the night that new life was created, the first night they both actually remembered….

Kate was getting annoyed. Though annoyed probably wasn't the correct word, the word she wanted was horny. Kate Beckett was pregnant and horny. And annoyed.

She was at the start of her second trimester, her and Rick had been together for about six weeks and he was being the perfect gentleman. Sure they slept in the same bed more often then not, but that was it. They slept, and Kate wanted, no she needed, more.

So the following morning Kate pulled out her big puppy dog eyes on him. The ones that had managed to get her anything she wanted in the weeks prior, except him where she wanted him. She asked him to take her to dinner at that fancy Italian place, which wasn't too hard since he'd wanted to take her there for weeks.

Kate went back to her own apartment after work to ready herself for dinner. She dressed in the slinky, midnight black dress that showed off her breasts and fell to just above the knee. Her makeup was dark and smoky and she left her hair to fall naturally around her shoulders, just the way she liked it. She put on her red, strappy shoes, picked up the matching red purse and put everything of importance in it. She was just about ready when Rick rang her doorbell.

"Just a minute." She called as she stopped at the hallway mirror to apply her lipstick that was the same shade of red as her shoes and purse.

The only way Kate could describe the look on Rick's face when she opened the door was lustful, and if the way he pulled her to him and kissed her was any indication, she was right.

Kate moulded her body and moaned into his kiss, opening her mouth and Rick took up the invitation. When the need for oxygen arose Kate pulled back and composed herself. "Shall we leave then?" She asked sweetly and gave him a peck on the lips before walking out her door, emphasising the swing of her hips.

Dinner was nice, though Kate wasn't paying that much attention to it and she was sure that Rick was paying more attention to her than his food as well. When leaving the restaurant Kate suggested they go back to his loft for the night.

"Because my back hurts." She told him with those puppy-dog eyes as she was getting into the back of the car. "And your bed is sooo much more comfortable than mine." Suddenly her 'puppy-dog' face turned into a 'come hither' face, to which Rick immediately complied with. Following her into the back of the car, he slid across the seat and took her into his arms.

"I love you, Kate." Rick told her, place one hand gently on her cheek and kissing her softly and driving her crazy.

The next thing Kate knew there was a gentle knock on the window, Murrey indicating that they had arrived.

Rick exited, and then helped Kate out of the car placing his hand on the small of her back while the walked towards the building. He nodded at the doorman as he held the door open and they continued on to the elevator, which opened as soon as he pressed the button, and they entered.

As soon as the doors had closed Kate could no longer contain herself and she sidled over to Rick, wrapped her arms around his neck and started kissing him passionately, which he returned.

Kate wasn't entirely sure how they progressed from the elevator to his loft, let alone to his bedroom. But suddenly she was unbuttoning Rick's shirt, she felt the bed against the back of her legs and Rick's rough voice in her ear.

"I thought your back was sore Detective." He stated.

"Maybe it was." Kate responded, a twinkle in her eye as she ran her hand down the expanse of his bare chest and pulled his shirt from his pants. "But this is one way to make me feel better." She finished seductively, before kissing him again.

The kiss didn't last long before Rick pulled away. "Are you sure Kate?" He asked her.

"Dammit Castle." She stated, before extracting herself from his arms. "Of course I'm sure. We've been together for six weeks. I love you. I'm having your child. I'm-" She was cut off by Rick's lips on hers and his arms around her waist.

"I was just making sure." Rick told her a moment later. "I didn't want to do something we'd both regret later." He said, and kissed her again, allowing her to push his shirt down his arms.

Things seemed to move quickly and slowly at the same time after that.

Rick quickly found the zipper on her dress and opened it. But slowly pushed the strap down her arms and the dress off her body.

Kate felt her way slowly down Rick's chest, undid his belt and slowly pulled it from the loops. She popped the button of his black slacks, opened the zipper and pushed his pants all the way off. Disposing of his shoes and socks at the same time.

Then she was kissing him again, her fingers in his hair. She moaned deeply as his left hand found her still covered breast, while his right hand trailed down around her waist to lay her on his bed.

Rick kissed his way down her body while he undid the clasp of her bra and his mouth found its way to her nipple and lavished it. His mouth made work to give the other the same attention, while his hands started to map out her body, as if committing it to memory. His mouth slowly made its way downwards as he slid her panties down her long legs.

Kate looked down through half close eyes at the image of Rick's head between her legs, her hands in his hair, and moaned when she felt his lips on her thigh, not quite close enough to where she wanted it.

"Rick." She moaned, as he brought his hand to her folds. "Please." Kate gasped as one of his fingers just entered her. "More." She moaned, almost begging and Rick complied.

He pushed his finger in and stroked her inner walls, feeling her quake around him. He added another finger and she let out a pleasured sigh. He stroked her until she could feel herself falling.

"Rick... Please.." Kate groaned out and finally Rick moved his mouth to where she wanted. She fell, with a strangled cry of his name.

When Kate came back to Rick was holding himself above her, completely naked. He kissed her and she could taste herself still on her lips, and she was aroused again. She could feel his want for her against her leg.

"Rick.." Kate breathed in his ear, after breaking the kiss.

Rick stroked one finger down the side of her face. "I love you, Kate." He breathed.

"I lo-" Kate started to say before she was overcome by the intensified feeling of him entering her, filling her.

Rick started to move, she moved in unison with him. A slow, almost leisurely pace, until she groaned deeply in his ear, and he picked up the pace.

Kate started writhing under him and chanting his name. It only took a few more strokes and Kate was falling over the edge again and Rick was right there with her, calling her name…..

The next thing Kate knew a ringing phone was awakening her, out of instinct she picked it up and answered it. "Beckett." She grumbled.

"Kate!" Came the voice of Alexis. "What happened to dad?" Oh, yeah. She had sent that message to Alexis on their way back to the loft. What was she going to tell her?

"Your father is fine, Alexis." Kate told her.

"But what happened to him?" Alexis asked again. "Can I talk to him?"

"It'll be easier to explain when you get home, sweetie." Kate said. "Just hang on a sec, I'll wake your father so you can speak to him."

"Don't wake him on my account." Alexis said, worried.

"It's fine, he needs to wake up soon anyway. Just hang on." Kate said to the girl and put the phone down on the bedside table. "Rick," She whispered, gently shaking his arm. "Rick, you need to wake up."

"Don't wanna wake up," He mumbled sleepily.

"Rick," Kate said gently. "You need to wake up, Alexis is on the phone and she wants to speak with you."

"Alexis?" He asked groggily and Kate handed him the phone. "Alexis, pumpkin?"

"Dad!" Alexis exclaimed. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah pumpkin, I'm fine." He replied.

"What happened? Kate wont tell me until I get home."

"Well then," Rick told his daughter. "You will just have to wait until you get home, because I'm sure Kate could tell it better, being the outside party and all." A statement which Kate wacked him on the arm for.

"You're no fun." Alexis pretended to grumble. "Fine I'll see you in half an hour. Bye dad."

-!-!-!-

The shady figure watched as a young redheaded girl entered the building across the road, worry written all over her face. Alexis Castle, the shady figure thought, not really amazed at how much information had been gathered during the couple of hours of waiting. The shady figure was content that all but one of Kate Beckett's family had arrived home, but knew that the last member wasn't due home for the duration of the week.

-!-!-!-

Dinner that night was uneventful, except for the fact that Alexis was continually fussing over her father and Kate. The former because of his black eye, the latter because of what happened to her father.

After dinner was over, and Alexis had been assured by Kate numerous times that they would both be ok and gone to up to her room, Kate and Rick retired to their bedroom and get into bed.

"You are going to be able to come to my appointment tomorrow, aren't you?" Kate joked, as Rick had missed the last one due to a book reading he couldn't get out of, and Kate wasn't able to change the appointment.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." He told her. "I want to find out the sex of out babies at the same time as you." In missing the last appointment he had missed the doctor telling Kate they were having twins. Though Kate could barely contain her excitement when he had called her later that day.

"Goodnight, Rick." Kate mumbled as she snuggled into his arms.

"Goodnight, Kate," He whispered back. "I love you."
