Hey everyone, be ready for a special kind of talk ;-)

When Kate and Alexis came back from the movies, it was almost 1 am. Alexis went directly upstairs to bed and Kate went in search for Rick. She found him in bed, asleep, a book held loosely against his chest. Kate took her shoes off and literally dove on him.

"mmmphhh"

"You have the best kid ever" Kate said, taking the book and throwing it on the floor.

"Is that why you're trying to kill me by cutting me off oxygen?" Rick asked, trying to make her roll over.

"I want one"

"One what?" he asked, fighting his eyes so that they would stay open.

"I want a baby" she said simply, looking at him in the eyes.

This had him completely awake in a second.

"You want a baby?"

"Yes"

"With me"

"Well … I was going to go and see the neighbor but since you here you might as well be of some help" she answered, winking at him.

"You're sure?"

"I … I just thought you wanted to have …" she said, starting to get off him.

"Oh I want to Kate" he said, putting his hands on her hips to keep her on him "I would love nothing more than having a baby with you. It's just so … sudden."

"Relax, Ricky, I'm not saying I'd like to have one right now. I just … after spending the evening with Alexis I … I realized I wanted to have what I had with my mom, you know?"

" I think that's a great idea" Rick said, "and I would be more than happy to help you"

"I figured you would" Kate said, leaning back on him and passing her hands under his T-shirt while kissing him passionately.

" I hope your proposition still stands because I'm going to have another 'problem' soon if you go on like this" he breathed into her neck, making her shiver.

" Don't worry, I'll take care of it this time" Kate whispered in his ear as she slipped her hand down his body until she cupped him through his pajamas pants "I'll always take care of it for you"

"Oh God …"

"Want to show me what you can do?" Kate whispered in his ear.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Rick had to get up at 6 to make sure Alexis was up for school, which she was, of course.

"I'm a bit tired but it was worth it. I had a great time with Kate yesterday. She's … I don't know what but it's good" she laughed. "I can't wait to spend the whole weekend with her!" said as she was eating breakfast.

"What about me?" Rick whined, drinking his much needed coffee.

"Well, you too but I see you everyday … it's not really new anymore"

"Well, that's always nice to hear" he grumbled into his mug.

"But you, it's different, you're my daddy" she said, coming closer to him and hugging him. "It's even better than new."

"Hum … good save missy. Now go, you'll be late for school"

"Oh, I don't have class tomorrow, it's a training day. When did you and Kate plan on leaving for Jim's?"

"We haven't decided yet. I'll tell her when she wakes up"

"Ok. Well, I really have to go now. Bye Dad!"

And she was out of the door, Rick still sitting at the kitchen counter, nursing his cup of coffee. After his 'discussion' with Kate, he had dreamt of them, with a baby and Alexis, going to see Jim. He loved this idea. He didn't know if the baby was a boy or a girl, he didn't really care. All that mattered was that it was part him part Kate. Once out of his thoughts, he decided to go back to bed. When he entered the bedroom, Kate was still sleeping but she had rolled over to his side of the bed. She was completely naked, the sheets covering only the lower half of her legs.

"You coming or what?" she asked from the bed, her eyes still closed.

He didn't need to be asked twice. He got back into bed and took her in his arms. He didn't manage to go back to sleep though.

"Kate ?" he whispered, caressing her face that was on his chest.

"mmm"

"Were you serious yesterday?"

" 'bout what?" she asked, putting her head beneath his chin.

" Babies"

Kate got off him and laid on 'her' side of the bed, facing him.

"Yes, why?"

"How many do you want?"

"I don't know … more than one."

"Do you want us to be married before?"

"I don't really care about the order of things … as long as everything's in" she smiled. "Why all these questions?"

"I had a dream. I really good dream. With you , Alexis, and a gorgeous baby in it. And I want my dream to come true"

"It would be a good thing" Kate smiled wider before kissing him lightly.

"When would you like to have the first one?" Rick asked, passing his hand on her bare stomach.

"I don't know. I want to make the most of you, of us, before having a baby but I don't want to wait too long either. I'm not getting any younger" she laughed.

"Well, it's worse for me!"

They stayed quiet for a few minutes, each of them lost in day dreams full of babies and baby-making sessions.

"You should move in with us" Rick simply stated.

"Oh really? Why?"

"Well, it's the best way to make the most of us" he explained calmly

"OK, but I keep my apartment for a while. Just in case I want to kill you."

"That won't be necessary but ok. When can you gather all your stuff and bring it here?"

"I don't know, when are you free to go to my place and bring my stuff back here?" Kate laughed

"hum… sometime next week"

"Fine by me. But don't expect me to do anything. You're the man of the house after all"

"I love when you call me that" kissing her to seal the deal.
