UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Fifteen
The rest of the honeymoon flew by & soon Rick & Kate were back home with Martha & Alexis.
"It was nice to get away just the two of us, but we're glad to be home again." Said Kate.
Rick said, "So Alexis how was it at the 12th while you were there? Did anyone ask you about us?"
"All they wanted to know was if you guys liked the place & when you were getting back." Answered Alexis.
A few hours later Rick & Kate walked into the Precinct to surprise everyone. Montgomery, Ryan, Esposito & Lanie hugged them. Of course they wanted to know how the trip went. Rick thanked them for watching out for Alexis with her "school project." They told him no problem.
Soon Rick & Kate were back to work on a case. Kate now that she was pregnant wasn't allowed to go in the field which she wasn't happy about. Rick stayed with her to help her with paperwork.
On their way home they stopped at Remy's to grab dinner for them, Martha & Alexis. Comfort food which is what Kate was craving right now.
Kate said to Rick, "You know it's going to be up to you to put up with weird cravings & my mood swings." Smiling at him.
Rick said, "I don't mind, besides you have mood swings all the time around me so that's nothing new." Smiling at her.
"Hey!" she said slapping his arm.
"Ouch! Apples!" said Rick.
They got home & the four of them ate dinner. Talking & laughing at each other. It was something that Kate missed since her mom's death. At least the baby would have a loving family to care for & raise her. They talked about names for the baby.
"Well for a girl, I'd like something that could have my mom's name in it. And for a boy I was thinking Alex Nathan." Said Kate looking at Rick.
Rick smiled. "Whatever you want is fine. I like those ideas." He said.
Later on after Martha & Alexis went to bed, Rick did some work in his office while Kate read some baby books.
Kate wanted to paint the nursery sage & go with a teddy bear theme.
"That's fine. It's up to you. I like teddy bears anyway. It should be something neutral." He said.
Kate asked, "It's your baby too. You can help me with things like this."
"I know. You pick out what you want & I'll buy & decorate the nursery myself. I'll hire a painter & help you with whatever you need." Said Rick.
Kate said, "Ok. Thanks. Love you."
"Love you too. Let's get some sleep." He said.
"Ok." She said.
They went to bed with smiles on their faces thinking of the baby & nursery.
