Well i'm glad that you liked the last chapter and here's the next one hope you like it :)

Kate and Alexis sat in the waiting room surrounded by other couples and children running around the room. Today was the 20 week scan and they had decided that they were going to find out the sex of the babies since they wanted Alexis to join them. She couldn't make it to the earlier scan since she was on a school trip and so they decide to wait. Both Alexis and Kate were currently waiting for Rick to arrive since he'd gone to a meeting with Paula and Gina before coming here.

"Wow this is not what I expecting at all." Alexis said looking around.

"It isn't usually this hectic." Kate smiled.

Alexis smiled slightly. "Kate I'd just like to say thanks for letting me come with you."

"It's no trouble." Kate smiled at her.

They sat watching the sets of children running around the room before Kate was called into the room. They stood up when Rick all but ran into the room and saw them.

"Oh man guys sorry I'm late." He said standing next to them. "I'm telling you once Paula starts talking you can't get her to shut up."

Kate laughed slightly. "Well don't worry it's the same with you."

Rick shot her a look and they walked into the room. A few minutes later their usual doctor walked in and smiled at them.

"Good afternoon and how are we you doing today Kate?"

Kate smiled. "I'm doing good. No more morning sickness thank god."

She laughed. "How about you Rick? Back to eating normal food again?"

"Well it's slowly getting their she still won't let me eat anything nice."

"Oh please don't think I don't know about you sneaking Chinese into the loft when I'm not there."

"Would I do a thing like that?" He said looking shocked.

"Yes you would because you don't get rid of the evidence."

Rick sighed and look back to their doctor. "Anyway…" He said changing topic. "Sarah I'd like you to meet my daughter Alexis."

Alexis smiled and shook the doctor's hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Are they always like this?"

"Oh yeah they never stop."

She laughed slightly. "So how about we look at how these babies are doing?"

Rick grinned. "We get to find out the sex today right?"

"Well you could have found out a couple of weeks ago but yes." She laughed.

"We wanted to wait, make it more special for Alexis." He smiled.

"Okay then so Kate if you'd like to lie down."

Kate lay on the bed and lifted her shirt up a little showing her now expanding baby bump.

"God you're so sexy." Rick said looking at her and she chuckled slightly in response.

"Eww dad." Alexis said.

"Hey when Ashley wants to say it to you I'm not going to complain." Rick said looking at Alexis again.

Alexis remained quiet but stared at the machine that Sarah was not turning towards them. "Fine! If that's how you want to be…I'm moving out the country to go to university."

Rick then stared at her. "You wouldn't do that to me would you?" Alexis remained quiet but smiled. "Come on you can't do that to me."

"Just watch me."

"Okay then so…" Sarah smiled watching their reactions. "Let's see who we have here."

They all stared at the screen that had come to life and was not showing them a very clear picture of the first baby. Sarah tilted her head to the side and after a few seconds spoke.

"So Rick, Kate I'd like to introduce you to your daughter."

Rick immediately grinned. "Well at least I'll have someone to replace you when you've gone to university." He looked to Alexis.

"That or someone else to spoil." Alexis grinned.

They both turned to Kate who was still staring at the screen in amazement. "What do you think Kate?" Rick asked.

"I think she's amazing." She whispered. Rick grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

Sarah smiled. "Congratulations." She then moved to the other side of Kate's stomach. "Let's see here…" She stared at the screen for a minute and then turned back to them. "…and here is your son."

Rick did a sharp intake of breath then when Kate looked at him she was saw she saw tears in his eyes. Sarah looked at them all and smiled.

"I'll leave you for a moment." She stood and walked out the door.

Alexis was the first to speak. "Wow I'm going to have a little brother and sister."

Rick was still holding Kate's hand and looked at her, she smiled softly at him and he found it hard to breath.

"You know Kate I think this is the best gift you could ever give me."

They had decided to go to the precinct after their appointment and they all piled onto the elevator.

"So who do you think won the bet?" Rick asked.

Kate looked at him. "What?"

"Oh come on you know the boys will have started a bet."

"On what?"

"Whether there will little be more little detective's running around or little writers"

Kate laughed. "Well I wouldn't even like the think about who has won."

The doors opened and they all stepped off Ryan saw them and smiled.

"Can't stay away from us eh Beckett?"

"No of course not Ryan." Beckett said laughing and rolling her eyes.

"So what brings you here this fine day?"

"Well we decided to come and tell you about who's won the pool."

Ryan stared at her. "What pool? He tried to keep his voice normal but it wouldn't work.

"Oh come on don't think we don't know."

"You only know because I just told you." Rick whispered.

Ryan stared at her and sighed. "Fine we've got a pool going. Quite a few actually so which one you on about?"

Kate looked at Rick and then to Ryan. "How about you tell me which one you think I'm talking about?"

Esposito turned around and looked at her. "Don't worry bro I've got this one." He didn't want Kate to be finding out about the other pool's they had going. Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing he had spoken to Lanie that day.

Kate stared at him and waited. "So I'm waiting."

Esposito smiled. "You aren't going to get any information from me." He laughed. "So how'd it go? What are you having?"

Kate smiled and turned to Rick. "Do you want to tell them?"

Rick smiled. "Well boys I hope you aren't doing anything tonight because we're going out celebrating."

Ryan and Esposito smiled and Montgomery was walking past.

"Ahhh Roy there you are. Just in time to hear the great news." Rick said. "I'm having a son." He beamed.

"Way to go Castle!" Ryan and Esposito said.

"Exactly!" Rick smiled and looked to Kate who was waiting again. "Oh right sorry." He turned to them again. "We're having a daughter too."

Esposito and Ryan both groaned and turned to Montgomery who was grinning. "Do I know how to call em or what?"

"Either that or you cheated."

He laughed. "How can I cheat?"

"I don't know you're just that good I guess."

The men continued to talk and Kate looked at Rick. "So what I am supposed to do while you and the boys are out tonight?"

"I don't know why don't you invite Lanie and Jenny over? You, Alexis, Lanie and Jenny can have a girl's night in."

"You had this planned all along didn't you?"

"Of course not." Rick said. "Why would I do that?"

"I could give you a million reasons."

"Fine." Rick turned to Alexis. "You aren't doing anything tonight are you?"

"Well not that I can think of." Alexis said.

"See look. You can all watch some movies, have a pillow fight maybe…" Rick trailed off.

"We don't do that you know."

"Hey I can have my imagination." He turned to Ryan, Esposito and Roy. "Hey make sure you're at the Haunt tonight at say seven?"

"Yeah sure that works with me." They all agreed.

"Also ask Lanie and Jenny to be at my place by then."

They nodded but didn't ask why. With that said Kate, Rick and Alexis turned round and headed back out of the precinct.
