UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Eleven
Two months later…
Beckett & Castle were in the bullpen working on some paperwork, Kate got up to get something to drink. When she was on her way to the break room she suddenly got very dizzy & the next thing she knew everything went black…
When she came to, she was laying on the couch in the break room with Castle, Esposito, Ryan, Montgomery & Lanie.
"What happened?" said Kate.
Castle said, "You passed out. You were walking to the break room for a drink, then you fell."
Kate answered, "I remember. Suddenly I got very dizzy & everything went black?"
Lanie cut in & said, "I took some blood while you were out & running tests on it now. Results should be ready soon."
"Ok thanks Lanie." Kate said.
An hour later Rick & Kate were back at the desk finishing up a report when Lanie came back in with the results.
Kate asked, "So what's wrong with me & why are you looking at me like that? It's something bad isn't it?"
"Well it depends how you look at it." Lanie said.
Rick asked, "Ok well what is it? Don't keep us guessing."
Montgomery, Ryan & Esposito gathered around.
Lanie said, "You have been keeping secrets from me haven't you?"
"Lanie just spill it already." Said Kate.
Lanie answered, "Kate you're 2 ½ months pregnant."
"WHAT!" Rick & Kate said together.
"This is some kind of sick joke right? There's no way I can be!" answered Kate.
Lanie said, "I ran the tests 3 to 4 times & every time it came up the same. Congrats! I'm assuming that Writer Boy here is the father? I knew something was different with you two."
Kate sat there in shock. She didn't know what to think or if she was asleep & this was some sort of dream she was having.
Rick was about the same as she was. Is this really true? He thought. We used protection like all the time. But wait a minute…am I sure about that?
Rick & Kate looked at each other. Just stared at one another. They didn't notice the money being exchanged between Ryan, Esposito & Lanie.
Montgomery spoke up & said, "You two take the rest of the day & week off. It looks like you need to talk a bit."
"Ok." They said.
A few minutes later they got their stuff & left the 12th.
Rick & Kate made it home somehow. When they walked in, Martha & Alexis were sitting at the counter.
"You two are home early? What's wrong? You two are as white as ghosts?" Martha said.
Kate stuttered, "Accor..ding…to Lanie…I'm…preg…nant?"
"OMG!" they both said.
Rick helped Kate down on the couch. He then sat down too. Few minutes later he said, "We're still trying to wrap our heads around this? It doesn't seem real? Like it's some sort of dream?"
Alexis asked, "How far along are you?"
"Lanie said 2 ½ months." Kate said.
Kate started crying… "I don't know what to do? It doesn't seem real?"
Castle wrapped his arms around her & then Martha & Alexis did the same. "It will take a few days for it to sink in." they said.
Later on that night, Rick & Kate were laying in bed holding each other. Not talking just holding, thinking.
