Well I don't know why but it kept removing Castle's name on the second sentence but I fixed it :)

Rick sat in the chair of the waiting room, his knee was bouncing up and down in anxiety as he looked around the room. Kids were sat playing with toys, pregnant women read the latest book while the other women talked.

The door to a room opened. "Richard Castle?" A woman called out from the door.

He stood up immediately. "Yes."

"You can come and join us now." She smiled. "I'm Dr. Wexler."

"Nice to meet you. Rick Castle." They both shook hands and he walked through the door and smiled at Kate. "Everything okay?"

"Yes."

"Good." He turned to the doctor that had called him through. "Is everything really okay?"

"As good as can be expected." She said.

Kate rolled her eyes as he sat on the chair next to where she was lying.

"I don't know why you both asking if you are going to ask someone else."

"I just like to make sure."

The doctor sat on the other side of Kate and bought a table towards her. "So we've checked everything with you and now we are going to check on the baby."

She picked up some gel. "This may be a little cold."

Kate nodded and flinched when the cold fluid hit her stomach.

"So first time parents?" The doctor asked.

"I am." Kate said. "He has a daughter."

"Well then at least one of you knows what to expect." She smiled softly.

She turned to the screen as she moved the wand over Kate's stomach. "Okay then so let's take a look." She moved it around for a few more seconds before staring contently at the screen. "I'll just be back in a moment." She said standing up heading for the door.

Kate immediately tensed up and looked to Rick. "Rick?"

He stared back at her. "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."

"But what if…"

He cut her off. "Don't' even think that."

She took another breath and nodded.

A few seconds later Dr. Wexler walked back in with someone else. "Sorry about that I just needed an extra pair of eyes."

"Hi I'm Dr. Smith." He took a seat and looked at the screen. "Let's see what we have here." He moved the wand around and then look to Dr. Wexler. "Well you're suspicions are correct."

"Thank you." She smiled. She took a seat again before smiling to them both. "Well I can confirm to you that you are having twins." She pointed to the screen that held the ultrasound to them. "See there's one…" She pointed to a grainy image on the screen and then moved her finger to another. "And there's two."

Kate let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. "Well this was unexpected."

"Can you tell how far along Kate is?"

"I'd say about six-eight weeks."

"See I told you there was nothing to worry about." He smiled kissing the back of her hand he had been holding.

"Well I'll print you a few pictures out." She said as she hit a few buttons. "Everything seems fine, is there anything you would like to know?"

"Is there anything in particular I should stay away from?" Kate asked.

"There's a few I'll ask the nurse to make a list for you."

"Thanks."

"Well I will book your next appointment, if there is anything you would like to know in the meanwhile please don't hesitate to call."

She walked out the room for a second leaving them to talk.

"You know what this means don't you?" Kate smiled.

"We're in deep trouble?"

She laughed slightly. "No."

"I'm better than I first thought." He said winking to her.

She rolled her eyes smiling. "Guess again."

"Well I can't think of anything."

"We get to tell my dad."

"Well I never would have thought of that."

Rick pulled the car up outside of Jim Beckett's house, this was it he was going to his death.

"Are you alright?" Kate asked taking off her seatbelt.

He looked at her. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well you haven't really said a word since we got in the car. Which is surprising seeing as we've just come from our first appointment. Also you aren't exactly jumping out the car to tell my dad."

"Fine." Rick said. "I'm a little nervous okay?"

"Rick?" Kate said looking at him. "Get out of the car and walk with me to the door."

"I've never been so scared in my life." He looked at her. "He doesn't have a gun does he?"

"Yes, but he only brings it out on rare occasions."

Rick's eyes widened. "Great."

"Well what did you say to Meredith's father when you learnt about Alexis?"

"Well I didn't exactly have to worry about him seeing as Meredith and him weren't on talking grounds."

"So he doesn't know about Alexis?"

"Oh yeah of course, but not until after she was born. I mean he isn't really the doting grandfather as you can tell."

"Well as long as I'm in the room he can't hurt you." She grinned at him. She opened the passenger side door and waited for him to get out the car and join her.

"But what happens when you've gone somewhere?" He mumbled opening the door and getting out.

"I don't know why you are so worried, my dad loves you."

"Yeah but now he's going to kill me."

"Why?"

"Because now he knows I've had sex with you." He stated clearly. He reached her side and they began their slow walk to the front of Jim Beckett's house.

Kate burst out laughing. "I'm sorry what?"

"You're not a father you wouldn't understand."

"Well how about you try and help me?"

"I don't know."

"You're just making this up."

"No it's true. Take Alexis, she's my little girl. Always has and always will be, and well when she gets to a certain age…We just pretend that we know nothing about what's she's doing."

"That just sounds crazy Rick."

"It might be crazy but it's the truth, I mean I bet your dad still thinks you're a v-"

At that point he was cut off. "Katie I thought that was you." Jim Beckett smiled from the front door.

"Not for much longer." Kate said quietly to Rick before facing her dad. "Hey dad." She smiled and gave him a hug as she reached him.

"Hey there Rick." Jim said once he had released Kate.

"Hi Jim." He amazed himself at how calm he sounded.

"So what brings you both here this fine morning?"

"Well we wanted to come and see you." Kate said smiling. "We have some news for you."

"Oh well come on in." They both walked past him and into the living room. "So can I get any of you a drink?" Jim asked from where he was standing.

"No thank you." Kate said.

"Rick?" He asked looking at him.

"No I'm fine thank you."

"Well this must be important news if you don't want a drink." He laughed slightly.

They took their respective seats, Jim sat in the chair by the window with Kate and Rick on the couch.

"So what's this big news?" Jim asked leaning forward.

Rick looked at Kate and then back Jim. "Well dad…" Kate started. "Me and Rick, we're having a baby."

Jim immediately smiled. "Oh honey that's wonderful news."

"Well that's not everything." She smiled looking to him.

"There's more?"

"Yes, in fact one more to be exact. We're having twins."

"That's amazing. You're happy right?"

"Yes." Kate said her smile not going anywhere anytime soon.

"So how far along are you?"

"The doctors said about eight weeks." She pulled a photo from her bag and passed it to him. "That was done earlier. Our appointment was just before we came here."

"So who else knows?"

"Just Rick's mother and daughter. We're going to tell our friend at our Christmas party, and we expect you to be there."

"When is it?"

"The day before Christmas eve."

"I guess I could make it." He smiled slightly looking at the sonogram of his soon to be grandkids. "You're mother would be so proud of you Katie."

Kate gave him a small smile. "Thanks dad." She stood up. "Now if you would excuse me for a moment I'm going to go to the toilet."

Rick looked at her. "Don't go." His eyes said.

She gave him a little smile and left the room leaving Rick looking at Jim.

"Rick I just want to say thank you." Jim said suddenly.

"I'd say you're welcome but I don't know what for."

"Ever since Johanna's murder I haven't seen her this happy. Ever since you came into the picture I've seen her a lot more instead of just the holidays."

"Well I'm glad that I can help." Rick smiled.

"So Rick tell me something."

"Sure, what's that?"

"When are you going to make an honest woman of my Katie. I do want to give her away while I can still walk you know." He laughed slightly.

Rick coughed slightly. "I'm sorry?"

"Oh come on, don't give me that. You can honestly say you haven't thought about it?"

"Well…I haven…I mean I wouldn't want Kate to feel like I'm marrying her because she's pregnant."

"I'm sure she wouldn't see it like that."

"I just don't want to lose her. I've been married twice and I feel like it would ruin something between us."

"Rick I've seen the way she looks at you. Trust me she won't let you give up on the both of you so easily."

"Her and a whole lot of other people."

"Ahh yes. The detective friends and the M.E. I'm guessing."

"Pretty much yes." He laughed softly.

"Well I'm pretty sure they'll have an office pool about when you will ask her."

"Too right."

"So back to the original question?"

"I guess I just need to find the right time."

Jim simply nodded. "Well just promise not to wait too long."

"I give you my word." He smiled.

"Oh you're still alive then?" Kate said walking back into the room.

"For now I guess." Rick said as Kate sat back next to him.

A/N: Well I hope that you liked that chapter, I think i'm going to do another chapter before the party or I might just jump straight to that one. Please let me know what you thought :)
