UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Ten
The week flew by & before Rick & Kate knew it was Sunday morning…Martha & Alexis would be returning home from their vacation that same night.
Rick & Kate were laying in bed talking & laughing at the past week with Ryan, Esposito & Lanie.
"Did you see the looks on their faces when they walked in the break room?" Kate asked.
"I know it was priceless. I think they expected our clothes to be out of place." Rick said.
A few minutes later Rick said, "How about I go & make some breakfast to bring in here?"
"That sounds good. I'm starving. You didn't let me sleep much last night." Kate said looking at him.
Rick grinned & said, "I didn't hear you complaining about it much."
Kate blushed & hid her face in the pillow. He just laughed.
"Why don't you go & make that breakfast while I go & brush my teeth. Plus find something to wear." Said Kate.
Rick said, "Ok, but you know you don't really need to get dressed on my account." Raising his eyebrows at her.
She smacked his shoulder & he pouted at her. Kate just laughed.
While Rick was making breakfast whistling like crazy…
All of a sudden the front door opened & in walked his Mom & daughter.
"Well good morning Richard." Martha said.
"Hi dad." Said Alexis.
Rick said, "What are you doing home already! You weren't supposed to be home til tonight?"
They looked at him & wondered what was the problem? They were about to ask when all of sudden they heard, "Hey Rick how long is it going to take you to make that breakfast?" Kate said.
Martha & Alexis looked, Kate walked out wearing Rick's shirt & a smile in his direction.
Then Kate saw them, squealed & yelled, "OMG!" Then ran back in the room.
Alexis covered her eyes. Rick turned red like a tomato. And Martha looked at him & said, "Well? This is a surprise? Even though it was a long time coming."
Alexis said, "Well this is embarrassing. Hopefully I can get this picture out of my head."
A few minutes later Kate came out of the room fully dressed, hair wet from the shower. She looked at them & said, "I'm sorry, we didn't want you guys to find out like this."
Martha said, "It's ok really, we're happy for you two. All I can say is it's about time. I take it you're still married?"
Rick answered, "Yes we are, but we're still trying to figure out the mix-up with the ceremony. It doesn't make sense."
Alexis asked, "So you're still legally married & what now the marriage is too?"
"Yes sweetheart. We are & it is." Answered Rick.
Kate said, "Alexis I know this is a shock to you, but I love your father & I want to stay married to him. I'd understand if you don't want this…?"
Alexis cut her off & ran over to her & hugged her. "Are you kidding me? This is the best news yet! I never saw Dad this happy til he met you!"
Kate said, "Even though this is your Dad's third marriage?"
"I don't care. Well I do, but you know what I mean." Said Alexis.
"I do know what you mean." Kate said.
Kate walked over to Rick & they wrapped their arms around each other & kissed.
Martha went over & hugged them. "Congrats you two."
"Thanks." They both said.
Alexis hugged them both & stood next to Martha.
Kate then said to them, "One favor though…don't say anything to anybody. We didn't tell them at the 12th. We want to keep it to ourselves for awhile. Though we know they think something happened, we played dumb."
"No problem." They said.
A few hours later all four of them saw the picture on page six of the photo that was snapped while shopping the other day when Rick kissed Kate in front of all those customers.
