prompt from my best friend from my school Tyson,I know how unlucky,Kate comes home in a bad mood which sparks a fight between Caskett,there is fluff at the end.
"See what you've done! Now you woke her up." Kate screamed as they heard Gracie's loud cries from the other room. She had finally gotten her to sleep, and Castle came in, dropping an entire stack of books on the floor.
"Just another thing to add to the list." Castle looked at her, hand on his hips.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She craned her neck looking for an explanation,
"I'm a loser husband and now a dad. What's next, Kate, am I going to be a loser writer too?"
"Don't you mean smart ass? I never said any of those things!" She walked into Gracie's room to avoid him for a moment. "Hey baby." She said picking her up. "Are you hungry?"
Kate walked into the kitchen and went to get a bottle. She slammed the fridge closed. "God dammit, Rick."
'What did I do now, sunshine?" Rick made a face before moving to stand between the kitchen and the living room.
"One thing. I ask you to do one thing. Make more bottles." Kate placed Gracie in her rocker.
"Well since you asked so nicely." He said, walking the rest of the way to the kitchen.
"No, don't worry about it. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." She beat him to the counter, starting the job herself.
"There you go with your loser thing again." He threw his hands in the air, standing behind her.
She turned to look at him. "I went to work this morning, you were watching TV. I came home from work, you were still watching TV. Did you do anything today that I asked you to do?"
"I looked after Gracie!"
"Wow, Castle, you looked after your own child. Would you like a gold star?" She put the top on the bottle and pushed past him, giving it to Gracie. "You're such a jerk and you're so childish!"
"Well you're not a ray of sunshine yourself." He followed her into the living room.
"Are you done having your temper tantrum?" She turned around and went to hit him, but he grabbed her hand. He wrapped his hand around the back of her waist.
"What's wrong, Kate?" He looked into her eyes, knowing something was bothering her.
"Why would I tell you? You're being an ass."
He didn't let go when she struggled against him. "Tell."
"Let me go, Castle." She pulled back again but it was no use.
"Never."
"I lost the baby." Tears sprang to her eyes as she spoke. "I was late and took a test. It was positive. But I started bleeding last night. There, you happy? Now you know. Can you please let me go?"
He let go off her, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm sorry, Kate." He sat down on the couch, ushering her towards him. "Can we please talk about this calmly? Yelling at each other isn't going to help, Kate."
"Why did you yell back then?" Kate sat next to him, wiping a tear from her cheek.
"I was frustrated too. But now we have to work on this. Let me help you." He grabbed her hand and held it in both of his hands.
"What are you going to do about it? We can't fix it. I can't fix it, you can't either. It's unfixable."
"We can't fix it, but we can work on this. We can make it better. You need time to cool off. I think you should take a bath and relax." Castle pulled her up and led her towards their room.
She went to argue, but he cut her off. "No arguing, now go."
"I can't, I'll bleed everywhere."
"We'll clean it up later." He pulled her the rest of the way into the bathroom and turned on the tap, kissing her temple before shutting the door behind him.
After her bath, Kate lay on the bed crying. She felt so awful for the way she had treated him. He walked in and sat on the bed, stroking her hair.
"I'm sorry, Castle. I'm so, so sorry." She looked at him and moved to sit nearer to him. "I was just so frustrated and upset. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."
He held her close. "Shh, it's alright, baby. It'll be okay. I'm right here."
