Here's the next part. I hope you enjoy it and continue to review like you always do. I'm really not sure on this chapter but hopefully you enjoy it as your enjoyment is all I care about.

Entering the precinct, he smiled as he saw her standing there staring at the murder board, a smile covering her face as she ran one hand through her long brown hair, her other hand resting on her baby bump. It was clear from just watching her that Kate Beckett was looking forward to being a mom, even if she wouldn't admit how truly excited she was to anyone. Turning, she smiled at him before waving slowly, allowing him to walk over and stand beside her, his eyes looking up at the murder board in front of them.

"You're not supposed to be working this case Kate, you're on paperwork" he moaned as she sighed and stared at him before nodding.

"I know Rick, you remind me every five minutes about it" she moaned before he smiled. "I just wanted to have an idea of what's going on in case they need my help at some point which I doubt, they've been so brainwashed by you telling them every five minutes that I shouldn't be working cases that they won't let me near it" she commented as he sighed and nodded, allowing her to groan as she sat herself down in her chair and groaned.

"Did you sleep at all Kate? Every time I woke up you were either awake or pacing around the living room" he mumbled as she sighed and nodded, both hands resting on her stomach as she stared down at her bump. "You're hardly sleeping now Kate, it's worrying me".

"I'm fine, I normally end up collapsing on the sofa in the end in front of the telly or getting back into bed with you and falling asleep there" she whispered as he nodded. "I'm fine Rick honest".

"Doesn't stop me worrying though does it? You're my girlfriend and the mother of my child it's my job to worry about you, worry about both of you" he whispered as she smiled and nodded before grabbing his arm and pulling him down so he was kneeling beside her chair, staring into her eyes.

"I love you Rick" she mumbled as he smiled and touched her cheek, brushing a stray piece of hair away from her cheek.

"I love you too" he whispered before looking around to make sure no one was looking before he pressed his lips against hers gently for only a moment, just the feeling of having each other close made everything seem better.

XOXOXOXO

Lying on the sofa later that evening, she sighed as she laid in between Rick's legs, smiling at his hands onto her stomach, his fingers drawing patterns onto her stomach, a small giggle leaving her lips as she felt the movement on her bump.

"I'm exhausted" she moaned as he sighed and slipped his hands to her shoulders and began to massage them slowly, a groan slipping from her lips. "Being pregnant is more exhausting than working a double chasing criminals" she laughed as he smiled at her and pressed a kiss against her neck.

"Look why don't I run you a bath and I'll read you your book while you're in it" he whispered as she smiled and nodded, turning her head slightly to press a kiss against his lips.

"God I knew there was a reason to why I loved you Rick, you're the most amazing boyfriend" she mumbled before smiling and climbing off the sofa, allowing him to get up to prepare her bath, a smile on her face as she watched him enter the bathroom.

XOXOXOXO

"God you really are beautiful" he whispered as he watched her relax in the bath, her eyes shut as she lay there in complete silence. "So which page were you on?" he asked as he passed her the book, her eyes opening for a moment to flick through the book to a page already practically open, a gasp leaving her lips.

"Oh my god Rick" she gasped as she stared at the small engagement ring situated in between the pages of the books, a smile creeping onto her face as she looked at him. "Is this really what I think?" she asked.

"Katherine Beckett, love of my life, mother of my child, my partner at work, my muse, my inspiration and the only woman I want to cuddle up to on the sofa will you marry me?" he asked causing her to nod as he took the ring out of the book and smiled as he watched her nod, holding her hand out to allow him to slip the ring onto it before pressing a kiss against her fingers. "Katherine Castle" he whispered.

"Well it would be good to have the same name as my child" she laughed before kissing him. "And of course I want to be your wife" she added before he smiled and kissed her again, a laugh leaving her lips. "I want to get married after the babies born, I want them to be there on the biggest day of our lives other than their birth" she mumbled as he nodded and kissed her forehead. "And I want it to be perfect".

"Perfect I can do, after the babies born I can do, loving you forever I can do" he laughed as she smiled and nodded before relaxing back in the bath. "Anything you want, I'll make it happen".

"I don't know Rick, right now I just want a bath and to relax after today, I'm exhausted" she mumbled before kissing his forehead. "I don't need you to sit here Rick, why don't you just go and do something useful like making dinner for me and your children? Alexis will be home soon" she suggested before he nodded and sighed. "Make sure it's nice though because we need to break the news tonight".

"Can't we just keep it a secret for a while?" he asked as she shook her head.

"You wouldn't let me keep the baby a secret, I'm not keeping our engagement secret" she laughed as he rolled his eyes and quickly left the room, shutting the door silently behind him.
