UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Twelve
A few days later…
Martha & Alexis were waiting for Rick & Kate to get home from the doctors. They were glad that Kate felt better now than the other day when she first heard the news. They weren't exactly sure what was going through Rick's mind though.
The door opened & in walked Rick & Kate. They both had smiles on their faces.
"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" exclaimed Rick.
A group hug & congrats followed after.
The four of them were sitting around in the living room talking about the baby & work.
Alexis asked, "What's going on with the case? Do you know what happened with the ceremony?"
"No we don't, not yet. Montgomery said he was handling it, but I think something's wrong? We actually are going to see the actor that was supposed to play the minister & the minister that was there instead." Kate answered.
"Do you think it was a setup by someone?" Alexis said.
Rick answered, "Yes we do. None of this adds up? We know that the case is real, but we weren't supposed to actually be married."
"Someone must of paid somebody to do the switching along the lines. But we'll find out somehow. We're determined to close this case & get on with our lives." Kate said.
"Well at least some of it turned out good." Martha said looking at Rick & Kate.
"Yes it did." They said.
A while later Kate's phone rang & it was the minister telling her that now was a good time to talk. She got off the phone & looked at Rick.
"That was the minister that performed the ceremony. He wants to meet now. Something seems very off?" Kate said.
Rick said, "What do you mean?"
"He seemed kind of nervous or something. Didn't seem normal?" Kate answered.
"What should we do? Should we meet him?" asked Rick.
Kate said, "I told him that we would. I think we should have back up though? Let me call Ryan & Esposito."
An hour later Rick & Kate were walking into the church while Ryan & Esposito were waiting in case something went wrong.
"So what can I do for you? That was such a lovely ceremony." Said Minister.
Kate said, "Thank you. About that…the ceremony wasn't supposed to be real. We're currently working an undercover case & pretending to be married was part of that."
Minister said, "Really? But that's not what I was told?"
"What do you mean?" Rick asked.
"A few days before a guy came in to talk to me about the ceremony saying that the person performing couldn't, that something had come up. He said it didn't matter to the couple who performed it." Said Minister.
Beckett & Castle looked at each other. "Could you describe him to a sketch artist?" Kate asked.
Minister said, " Sure, but I can't tell you much. He was wearing dark colored glasses so I couldn't see his eyes."
Beckett said, "Ok thanks for your help. I'll have some officers come down with the sketch artist then."
They said goodbye & left the church.
Later on that night…
Rick & Kate were laying in bed trying to piece together the info they received that day.
Rick was holding her from behind with his hand rubbing her belly.
"Maybe we should try to get some sleep & figure this out tomorrow." He said.
Kate said, "Ok. I'm not sleepy though. This still doesn't make any sense?"
"No it doesn't." he said kissing her on the lips.
Which turned out to be more than just kissing.
