Here it is, enjoy chapter 12!

Rick was at his desk when he heard the front door open. He stood up and walked into the living room, seeing Kate put her things away.

"Kate? What are you doing home so early?" he asked, looking at his watch.

"Well, the Captain sent me home. Apparently I was stressing everyone out by tapping my foot on my chair, pacing the break room and checking the internet every thirty seconds." She grumbled.

"Well, I've been doing the same here. Now we can stress out together." Rick said, taking him in his arms.

"You shouldn't be worried, you'll pass, I'm sure." Kate said.

"Then why are you worrying?" Rick asked, laughing lightly.

"I don't know. I tried not to but it's stronger than me. I really want you to get it. You deserve it." She answered, kissing him.

"Well, it's been two days since the exams, the results are supposed to be published in … an hour," Rick said. "What do you want to do?"

He looked at her for a while. She seemed to be thinking. Suddenly, her face lit up.

"Sit on the couch, I'll be right back." She said, rushing in their bedroom.

She came back a few seconds later, a white box with a bow on it in her hands. She sat down next to him and handed the box to him.

"A present for me?" Rick asked, taking it.

"It was going to be a graduation present but the ceremony is in two weeks and I can't wait that long. I was going to give it to you after the results but now is just as good a time." Kate said, smiling at him, her eyes shining.

"Ok, let's see what's in the mysterious box." Rick declared, opening it carefully. He put the top on the couch next to him. He opened the tissue paper and froze at what he saw. A onesie with "don't mess with me, my Daddy's NYPD" written on it.

He turned his head to look at her and find her smiling. She seemed really happy but there was a bit of fear in her expression too.

"Does this mean what I think it means?" He asked carefully, a smile growing on his face.

"If you think that we're having a baby then yes." Kate answered, mirroring his smile.

Rick placed the box gently on the coffee table and almost throw himself on Kate and kissed her passionately. When they broke apart for desperate need of air, they find themselves laying down on the couch, Kate stuck between the back cushion and Rick.

"How long have you known?" Rick asked, passing his hand under Kate's shirt and resting it on her stomach.

"Almost a week." She answered, putting her hand on his. "I asked Lanie to run a blood test. I have an appointment at the doctor's on Monday to make sure. Will you come with me?"

"Of course. If you want me to be there, I'll be there." He said, kissing her. He stopped when he felt her tears on his face. "What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"Nothing." Kate assured him, smiling. "it's just … I'm so happy. I never imagined I would have such a good life after my mother died." She said, drying her cheeks and looking at Rick. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me Richard Castle."

"Oh Kate!" was the only thing Rick could say, feeling tears gather in his own eyes. "I'm so happy to do this again. And with you, it's gonna be wonderful. You'll be a wonderful mother"

"You really think so? That's what I'm the most afraid of, that I won't know what to do. I'm completely screwed up, I don't want our child to inherit that part of me."

"You're not screwed up Kate. And you'll be perfect as a mother. Just look at you with Alexis. And look at her, she turned ok despite having me rising her. I was young and completely terrified , you're going to be great. Don't worry about that."

"I think I'll ask Gates for a desk job." Kate said, seriously.

"What?" Rick asked. "Why?"

"I don't want to take any risks Rick. I'm going to do this perfectly. I read somewhere than the first months are when you really need to relax and not put a strain on your body. I know that I love the field but I love our baby more. And I can still work on cases, I'll just go on the crime scene at the beginning and then I'll do everything from the precinct, the boys can go running everywhere."

"Wow, it sounds like you really thought about it."

"I did. Before I knew I was pregnant, and even more since I know. I want to really live this to the fullest Rick. I want to take my time preparing for our baby." She said, looking at him in the eyes.

"Ok. But you still have time to think about all of this." Rick said, kissing her quickly.

"I'm serious Rick. I'll still work but I will minimize the risks. I know working in a precinct is not really risk-free but I will do my best to keep our baby safe."

"And you were the one doubting your motherly abilities. I told you you'd be perfect." Rick said, kissing her lightly.

"Stop making fun of me." Kate said, laughing as she hit his shoulder. "Do you think the results are on the internet now?" She asked, changing the subject and becoming dead serious.

Rick turned his head to look at the clock on the DVR. 2:56.

"Four minutes left."

"It's so stupid. I don't think I was so scared when I waited for the results of MY exam." Kate sighed.

"Well, I think it's cute. It means you like me." Rick laughed.

"I more than like you." She said, looking at him lovingly.

"Yes, I know that. And I thank God for that every single day." Rick said, kissing her for a few minutes. "Could you have imagined us being here when we first met?"

"Oh no! I think I would have sent the person who would have told me to a mad house. The Kate Beckett of five years ago would never have made out with you on your couch." Kate laughed.

"Well, I'm really glad you changed your mind." Rick said, pecking her lips and sliding his hand back on her stomach.

"Me too." She simply said, looking at his hand tracing patterns on her stomach.

They stayed like this for a few minutes, both of them lost in their thoughts when suddenly, Kate jumped off the couch.

"Rick, it's past three !"

They almost ran to the office where Rick would just have to refresh the page to know if he had passed his exams.

"Can you do it?" he asked Kate, placing himself behind her, his arms around her waist and his hand linked on her stomach. She had the vague impression he would do that a lot in the next nine months.

"You're ready?" Kate asked, her finger ready to press the key that would give them all the answers.

"Yes."

"Ok, let's find out if I need to return that onesie. One, two three," Kate said, her finger pressing the key.
