"Now remember to behave yourself." Kate smiled as Rick was heading to the door.

"Don't worry I always do."

"Now we both now that's not true."

"Got Kate don't you have any faith in me?" He smiled as he said it.

"Yes of course I do. I just don't have faith in you and the guys together."

"I promise to not get too drunk."

Kate stared at him and shook her head. "We both know that's not going to happen."

Rick grinned and placed his hands on either side of her waist. "I'm so glad I've found a woman who knows me so well."

Kate smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned up and gave him a slow kiss, her tongue ran across his bottom lip and he happily opened his mouth to her. He pulled her closer and moved his hand under her shirt. Slowly running his hand up and down her back. He pulled away all too soon and moved his hands around to her front. He leaned down so he was staring at her bump.

"Now you be good for mommy guys." Kate smiled softly and ran one of her hands through his hair. "I'll miss you both while I'm gone." He placed a kiss on her stomach and raised to his feet. "Well have a good time tonight honey."

"You too."


Rick was sat at the table with the guys and was on his second round of drinks.

"Okay guys a toast." Ryan smiled. "To free drinks on Castle." He laughed. They all cheered. "But seriously, to Beckett and Castle.;"

Esposito was the one to cheer next. "To the new recruits." He laughed.

They all cheered and Rick smiled. "Guys I just want to say thanks for coming tonight."

"So Castle how's it feel to know you're going to be a dad again?" Ryan asked.

"It's amazing, the best feeling in the world."

"You going soft on us Castle?" Ryan joked.

"You just wait until it's your turn."

Ryan laughed. "Yeah yeah Castle."

"Just wait Honey Milk when it's you and Jenny I'm going to tease you so much."

Montgomery laughed at the guys, he picked up his glass and took a drink. They would never change no matter how old they got.

"So Castle do you have any names in mind?"

"No not yet but I'm sure Kate will." He laughed. "She's always got something prepared."

"Hey what do you think the girls are doing right now?" Esposito grinned.

"Well I'm sure what we think they are doing and what they are doing are two VERY different things." Rick said.

"It's always is."

Some of the regulars came into the bar and since tonight there was going to be a karaoke on they settled in.

"Come on then guys let's do some shots." Ryan said standing up and grinning as he headed for the bar.


Kate sat on the couch along with Lanie and Jenny, Alexis had just gone into the kitchen to get drinks.

"Now Kate I know you told us not to get you anything but I couldn't help myself." Lanie grinned. She reached behind her and pulled out a box. "Go ahead open it." She said as she gave the box to Kate.

"I don't know whether I'm going to like what's in here I know what your shopping skills are like."

"Oh don't worry I kept it to a minimum."

Kate bit her lip and slowly opened one of the boxes inside were a pair of dungarees. "Oh my god." Kate laughed pulling one of them up to get a better look.

"See I told you I kept it to a minimum." Lanie smiled. "See one of them has a fire truck on for Rick Jr and one of them has a unicorn of for little Beckett."

"A unicorn?" Kate asked.

"Hey all girls love unicorns." Lanie reasoned.

Kate laughed. "Thank you Lanie."

Alexis walked in with a tray of drinks for them. "Now I didn't know what you wanted so I got a bit of everything."

She put the drinks on the table and then sat next to Kate.

"Thank you Alexis." Kate smiled and she made way for Alexis to sit down. "Look what Lanie got." She held up a pair of the dungarees and Alexis smiled.

"Awww they are so cute." Alexis picked some of them up. "Just look how small they are."

"Hey don't be getting any ideas." Lanie laughed.

Alexis placed the dungaree's back into the box and took a drink from the tray she had just bought in. "I could say the same thing to you." Alexis grinned.

"Huh that is true." Lanie said thinking about it.

"So Alexis how's Ashley?" Lanie asked winking.

Alexis blushed a little. "He's fine." She said clearing her throat a little.

Jenny grinned at them and turned to Kate. "So Kate have you felt them kick yet?"

"No not yet." She said absently placing a hand on her stomach. "So hey who wants to watch a movie?"

"That sounds like fun got anything interesting?" Jenny said.

"Come on this is where the 9 year old lives of course there is something interesting." She laughed. "Alexis how about you pick out a movie and I'll go make some snacks."

Alexis nodded and headed for the movie cabinet. "So what do you guys feel like tonight?" She turned towards them.

"I'm think a romantic comedy." Lanie said.

"Oh yes I agree." Jenny smiled.

"Oki doki." Alexis smiled and turned to look through the movies.


Rick was now on his way to being drunk, they had all been drinking a range of alcohol and it was getting late into the night. He looked to the guys and laughed. "Oh man we should do this a lot more often!"

"Well you know what the women are like. They got our leashes so short we can't get anywhere." Esposito laughed.

"So who's up for another round?" Montgomery said as he emptied his glass.

"Sure Roy I could use another drink." Rick said.

Esposito and Ryan both nodded their heads eagerly. "Hey what do you say we get up and sing?" Esposito said all to excited.

"Oh dude you are so wasted." Ryan said.

"Come on we'll show everyone how it's done." He said trying to encourage them.

Rick laughed. "I could use a laugh." He agreed.

Ryan stared at Rick. "Well now you've said you'll do it I have to agree."

"Come on Ryan it's not like we can embarrass ourselves."

Montgomery returned to the table. "ROY!" Esposito grinned. "Come on we're going to show everyone how you sing."

"Oh no." He said immediately.

"No you have to sing with us, we're all doing it."

A few minutes later the DJ introduced them. "And now we have the owner of the bar and his friends. Rick, Javier, Roy and Kevin."

Instead of going onto the stage they decided to stand on the table. Everyone had laughed when they jumped up and some of the women started to yell at them to strip.

"Hello there guys." Rick said. "Now ladies please calm down we aren't going to strip for you. Well I'm not I can't promise anything about this drunken lot." He pointed to the guys behind him. "Now we've decided that you all needed to listen to how the pro's are at karaoke so without further ado…hit it DJ."

Across the bar Sam the bartender laughed at Rick standing on the table. Since he had taken over the Old Haunt it had gotten a bit of an uplift in atmosphere. He walked around the bar and into the back picking up the phone dialling a number that he had gotten earlier that night. He waited for the phone on the other end to pick up.

"Beckett."

"Hi is that Kate?"

"Yes." She said hesitantly.

"Hi it's Sam from the Old Haunt."

"Oh hi Sam what's up?"

"Well Rick gave me your number earlier and said if he got too drunk to call you." He said laughing softly.

"Oh right. What's he doing?"

"Well he's currently dancing on the tables and singing with the guys he bought in."

Kate sighed softly. "Okay Sam thanks for informing me. I'll be there soon."

She hung the phone up and turned to the rest of the group. "It seems we have to go and get our men they are singing and dancing."

Lanie and Jenny laughed. "I don't think they are going to be heading out anytime again soon."

Kate smiled and turned to Alexis. "Will you be alright here on your own or do you want to come with us?"

"I think I'll be fine here." She looked at the time. "I might just head to bed anyway."

Kate nodded her head. "Alright then." She stood up and slipped her jacket on. "Come on then let's go get our men."
