She decided right then and there that she was going to get back her memories, all of them. If that meant exploring the more intimate details of this relationship between her and Richard Castle, then so be it. Bring it on. With a renewed sense of Kate Beckett determination, she smiled smugly and looked forward to spending the next few days with Richard Castle.

Disclaimer: I still don't own the characters.

Castle called Lanie on his way home, and she dropped off some clothes for Kate, just as he was getting ready to go back to the hospital. He informed her of what was going on, and Lanie told him to take good care of her girl and that she and the boys would hold off on visiting Kate for now. Castle also called Kate's dad. He was a little worried, but Castle reassured him. He said he would stop by the loft in a day or two. Alexis was concerned about Kate, and she was agreeable with Kate staying for awhile. Castle continued to keep the pregnancy a secret from them until Kate regained her memory and they could talk.

After Kate was discharged and settled in the guest room, they went downstairs. He noticed Kate was sore from all the bruising, because he caught her grimacing while she made her way slowly down the stairs. Castle offered her the pain medication the doctor prescribed, but she refused. Knowing he wouldn't convince her otherwise, Castle decided to make her something for dinner.

"So, name whatever you want for dinner, and it is yours. I am here to serve you." Castle figured she would suggest Chinese take-out or pasta.

"How about a peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich, if it's not too much trouble?" Kate smiled.

"You're kidding, right?" Castle raised his eyebrows at her.

"Actually, I'm quite serious."

Castle couldn't believe that Kate would eat something as odd as that. He secretly wondered if she might be game for a smorelette. Hmmm...Good idea for breakfast tomorrow. Castle got out the peanut butter and jelly and started slicing the bananas.

"Can I ask you a question?" Kate said as she watched him intently.

"Sure. Fire away."

"How did we conceive this baby?"

Castle's eyes went wide with shock and he choked. He definitely wasn't expecting this. "Uh...Kate...you know...a man...and a woman...and they..."

"Mr. Castle, I know all about the birds and the bees. What I want to know is how did we conceive this baby?" Kate stared at him in anticipation, waiting patiently for his answer.

"First of all, it's Rick or Castle. Mr. Castle's a little formal don't you think?" He glanced at her stomach.

"Why would I call you Castle? That's a bit odd."

"I guess you could say we call each other Castle and Beckett, as the situation dictates."

"What? Are those our pet names for each other or something?"

"Huh? No...no way. We mostly use them when we're working."

'Working on what?"

"Uh...I can't tell you. Remember the doctor said he wants you to remember on your own." Castle smirked.

"That's no fun." Kate pouted.

Castle tried to change the subject. "Hey, you should let me sign your cast. I'll write something really cool on it."

Kate got up and sauntered up to Castle, standing behind him. She pressed into his back, ever so lightly, stood up on her tiptoes, and spoke softly into his ear. He felt the warmth of her breath against his neck as she said, "I'll let you write whatever you want on my cast, if you answer me one question."

"Kate...you know the doctor said..."

"I don't care what the doctor said. C'mon Rick. Not afraid of one little question, are you?" Kate was the one smirking now.

"Whatever I want?"

"Whatever you want."

"You've got a deal, Kate. You eat your sandwich. I'll get my Sharpie."

After Kate got done eating, he motioned for her to come into the living room. He sat down on the couch, and to his surprise, she sat down right next to him. Rick got his Sharpie ready.

"Oh no you don't. You answer my question first, and then you sign the cast."

"Are you sure you have amnesia?"

"Ha. ha. So funny. So, are you going to answer my question?"

"Fine."

"How did we conceive this baby? I want details."

You're not going to give this up, are you?"

"Nope."

"Fine. You texted me on your phone and pretended to be a dominatrix." He smirked and raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't look at me that way, Kate Beckett. You did. As a matter of fact, you called yourself Mistress Heat. One thing led to another, and you asked me to call you. We...uh...had phone sex. You hung up on me, which I found to be quite frustrating, by the way, so I went to your apartment. One thing led to another...and..."

"Don't stop, Rick. I want to knowexactlywhat happened after you showed up at my apartment." Kate locked eyes with Castle, and he was pulled into their depths. He felt hypnotized.

"I kissed you. I forced you up against a wall and kissed you." His voice was husky with emotion. "I told you that you were going to be mine in every sense of the word, and I kissed you." His eyes hungrily looked at her with rediscovered want and need.

Kate scooted closer to him and leaned in so her lips were only inches away from his. She felt the electricity and heat course between them. She whispered, "Maybe if you kissed me again, I would remember."

"Maybe..." He slowly leaned in to brush his lips gently against hers. She, in turn, softly ghosted her lips over his. He put one hand at the nape of her neck, pulled her into him, claimed her lips, and deepened the kiss. She opened her mouth to him, and he explored it with his tongue, delighting in the taste of her once again. Before he knew it, she was seeking his mouth as well, and their tongues met in a heated dance.

He finally pulled away and breathlessly asked, "You remember anything?"

"No, but keep talking." She looked at him like a tigress ready to pounce.

"I ripped your shirt off," he growled as he leaned in closer to her again. She felt his warm breath and his moist lips on her neck. He lustfully looked down at the little bit of lace that he could just make out under her blouse. He slowly unbuttoned one button and then one more. She had on a black lace bra. He noticed her breasts were fuller from the pregnancy. His breath caught in his throat. She looked like a goddess. His heated mouth trailed down to tease and nip the black lace, as his hands desperately caressed her breasts through her bra. His thumbs circled her nipples until they were firm. Kate whimpered and ran her fingers through his hair. He suddenly stopped and remained still for a few seconds, his breath hot against her breasts.

It took every ounce of strength that he could summon, but somehow he managed to pull away. Kate immediately missed his warmth, his hands, and his lips on her. He tenderly cupped her face in his hands and searched her eyes some sign of understanding. "Kate, even though I want you so much right now it hurts, this isn't right. You don't remember, and I feel like I'm taking advantage of you...of this situation. We still have...I don't know how to put this, Kate. I don't want to do something that we might regret later. I'm so sorry. Do you understand?" His voice was on edge, and he sighed in defeat.

"I suppose so…for now." Kate tentatively bit her lower lip and cast her eyes down to the floor.

Castle couldn't believe how persistent she was. Typical Kate Beckett. He smiled, reached over, and hugged her tightly to him. "Don't worry, Kate. Baby steps. We'll get there. I promise." He carefully refastened the two buttons on her blouse, and then hesitated before he said, "Now, I believe you owe me the honor of writing on your cast."

"Hmmm...I don't know, Rick. We had a deal. You answer my question; you sign my cast. You didn't fully answer my question."

"C'mon Kate...that's not fair." His eyes pleaded with hers.

She caved. "Okay, you can only write one thing though, because you only told me one part of what I wanted to know."

"Agreed."

Later, as she drifted off to sleep, she glanced down at her cast again. On it, he had written one word: Extraordinary.

That chapter was fun. Things are finally starting to heat up again. I plan to have lots more fun with the next chapter.

Please, please, please review! I need to know that you guys are still reading and want me to continue. Another chapter?
