Well I got the chapter up finally! I had a friend come see me who I haven't seen in a while so i've just got it finished. Hope you enjoy it :)

Disclaimer: If I owned Castle would I have written this?

The movie had ended and Rick looked to his left side and found Alexis with her eyes closed as usual, he chuckled to himself, she never made it to the end of a movie. He then looked to his other side and saw Kate lightly sleeping. He slowly moved Kate to one side and then stood up, he bent and picked Alexis up. He grunted she wasn't the eight year old she once was and it was getting harder as she aged to carry her up the stairs. He opened the door to her bedroom and expertly moved the covers to one side before gently placing her on her bed. He pulled the covers up to her and tucked her into bed. She curled the covers round her and softly sighed. Rick smiled and stood for a few minutes watching her.

He walked back downstairs turned off the TV and lights before swiftly picking up Kate and then headed up to their bedroom. She stirred and moved closer to him murmuring softly, he smiled and then reached their room. He moved the cover back and placed her on the bed before kneeling next to her and resting his hand on her stomach. He smiled to himself, he still couldn't believe that they had made another person. He pictured a son with his eyes and Kate's features, or a daughter with that was the exact double of Kate.

"It's almost as creepy as when you watch me sleep."

He grinned at her and she looked at him slowly, stretching a little as she did.

"It's not creepy it's a loving gesture."

"Well don't do it." She leaned forward slowly. "It's creepy." She whispered.

"You wouldn't expect any less from me though."

"No you're right I wouldn't."

He slowly leaned forward to her and then their lips touched. It was like their first time and she ran her tongue over the bottom of his lip. He stood from his kneeling position, their lips still touching and moved onto the side of the bed. His hands moved to the side of her waist and pulled her shirt up and chucked it on the floor. He started to kiss her neck and she moved to give him better access, she groaned slightly and that gave him all the encouragement he needed. She moved her hands through his hair and closed her eyes, she would never get tired of this.

Rick woke that morning with the alarm going crazy at him like it usually did. Kate shifted slightly and smacked the snooze button hard.

"Wow no need to take it out on the clock Kate."

She turned and moved closer to him. "Yeah, yeah."

"Well someone woke up cranky today." He chuckled slightly and wrapped his arms around her.

"It happens every now and then." She said into his chest.

He smiled and closed his eyes again, kissing her head as he did.

The alarm went off half an hour later and Kate moved to hit the off button. She opened her eyes and got out of bed. She stretched her arms up in the air and yawned moving towards the bathroom for a shower. Rick opened his eyes and started to follow her smiling.

"No you go make breakfast." She turned round to him and laughed at his face drop. "I'm already running late."

Rick sighed. "I promise I'll be good." He walked over and pulled her close kissing her as he did.

"Now since when have you been good?" She grinned at him when he released her for air.

Rick thought for a moment. "It was worth a shot." He smiled at her and then gave her another kiss. "Don't be long."

He let her go and she turned back to get a shower. Rick walked downstairs and stared in the fridge. What to make for breakfast today? After much debating he decided to make omelettes. He heard footsteps and few minutes later to see Alexis.

"Good morning." He said cheerfully.

"Morning dad." She took a seat at the breakfast bar.

"You want something?" He asked pointing to breakfast.

"I wouldn't say no." She smiled. "So what did Kate want to talk about last night?" She asked.

Rick froze, he knew she wouldn't forget. "Oh you know just some work stuff."

"That she couldn't say in front of me?"

"No, it was confidential." He turned and gave her a plate with the omelette on.

She looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "You aren't a very convincing liar are you?"

He shrugged slightly. "I try my best."

"So are you going to tell me?" She chuckled slightly.

"It's grown up talk."

"Oh please dad I'm not 8 year's old no more." She looked at him. "If it was about sex then you can tell me."

"ALEXIS!" He turned round and looked at her.

"What?" She said innocently. "All I said was sex."

He inwardly cringed again. "Please stop saying that."

She laughed and Kate came walking down the stairs smiling at them.

"Really dad? I've told you I'm not a kid anymore."

He looked at her. "Well I don't exactly want to think that you're doing…that!"

She stared at him. "What makes you think I am?"

"I don't but every time you say it…" He stopped and slowly shuddered. "Creepy!"

"Good morning Alexis." Kate said as she took a seat next to her.

"Morning Kate." She cheerfully.

Rick placed a plate in front of Kate and then turned and sat next to her with his own.

"Kate?" Alexis turned to look at her.

"Yes Alexis?" Kate turned and looked at Alexis.

"What did you talk to my dad about last night?"

"Oh something about work." She said simply. "Top secret stuff."

Alexis smiled shaking her head. "Sorry dad already tried that one. But I must say you were a lot more convincing."

Kate turned to look at Rick, who in turn held up his hand. "Sorry but I'm not trained to lie. Besides she's my daughter she's gotten pretty good at telling my lies."

"No wonder you are always losing at poker." She glared at him.

"Yeah and no wonder you are always winning." He shot back. He turned back to his breakfast to let Kate handle with Alexis.

Kate turned back to Alexis and struggled to find what to tell her.

"You don't have to tell me you know." Alexis said. "I was just curious."

Kate held her breath. "Okay."

Alexis stood up and put her plate in the dishwasher. "Well I have to head off to school. Have fun at work you guys."

"Alexis." Kate waited until she turned round. "Another time?"

Alexis smiled at Kate and nodded her head. "In the meantime help dad with his lying techniques." She laughed and headed out the door.

Kate turned and looked at Rick who had just finished eating his omelette.

"Well that went pretty well I think." Rick said standing up.

"Are you serious?"

"Hey at least your conversation she only asked you. How'd it go from interrogation to sex!"

Kate laughed. "Well how about you just try and be a little better at lying to your daughter?"

"But I never lie to her. Most of the time anyway."

"Well fine just don't say anything about the baby yet."

"Fine, but she's going to notice something soon.""Okay and then we will tell her."

Rick smiled. "Hey can I ask you something?"

"Depends on what you're going to ask me."

"I was wondering if you had any plans this weekend."

Kate looked at him. "Not that I can remember why?"

"Well I was hoping that maybe you, me and Alexis could go to the Hampton's for a couple of days. I mean you haven't had a proper holiday since we started dating and I'd really like to take you."

She smiled at him. "Well how about while you go and get dressed and ready I'll think about it."

He eyes lit up. "You promise?"

"Yes." She smiled. "Now go and get changed or we'll be late."

"I'm sure they'd forgive us."

"A couple of times is understandable, but not every day of the week."

"Hey it's not everyday I resent you saying it is. You're trying to say I'm a bad influence on you."

She laughed. "I'm not trying to say it, I know it."

He turned around shaking his head. "Your word's can't hurt me."

"We'll see." She laughed as he made his way to get ready.
