just get rid of the spaces ;-)
Richard Castle and Kate Beckett were driving to Kevin Ryan's wedding. Well, they hadn't left the loft yet. They were in Rick's car, Kate in the passenger seat, fishing something out of her purse. When she realized he hadn't started the car.
"Rick, if we don't go right now we're going to be late. What are you doing?" she asked without looking up.
"I'm dying" he simply said.
Kate finally lifted her head from her purse to find him looking at her. Really looking at her, like he was eating her with his eyes. They were currently buried in her chest, diving into the neckline of her dress.
"Do you like the dress Ricky?" Kate asked, leaning towards him
"Oh yes" he said moving his eyes to the cut of the dress revealing one of her legs
"Come on Rick, we're going to be late. If we arrive on time and you're a good boy today, I may let you take it off me tonight"
"Ok, buckle up, we're leaving now" he said, starting the car and getting out of the parking garage. Once they were on the road, Rick put his hand on her leg.
"Rick?"
"What? I have to look at the road when I drive, so if I can't look at you, I need to touch" he explained, moving his hand up and down her thigh.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
The ceremony was going to start. Ryan was looking really nervous at the altar. He was smiling like Kate had never seen him smile before. His best men, his two brothers and Esposito, were talking to him, trying to get him to stop shaking. Rick, Kate and Lanie were sitting in the audience, talking quietly. When the music started, everyone got silent and looked at the aisle. Jenny's bridesmaids, her sister and Ryan's, walked down with their red dresses, red roses in their hair and red and white flowers in their hands. The wedding march started and everyone stood up, turning to the door of the church. When Jenny walked down the aisle at her father's arm, Kate could already feel the tears gathering up in her eyes. She turned to see that Lanie and pretty much all the other women in the church were in the same situation. She felt Rick's hands settle on her hips and he kissed her hair before whispering "She is gorgeous" in her ear. When Jenny reached the altar and her soon to be husband, everyone sat down. Kate took Rick's hand and rested it in her lap.
Kate watched the ceremony but couldn't hear what Jenny and Ryan were saying. She was too busy thinking what her wedding with Rick would be like. She knew she would marry him some day but she didn't want to rush anything. Not because she was not sure of her choice, she had never been more sure of anything in her life, but because she wanted it to just happen along with everything else. Rick caressed her neck when he noticed she was somewhere else.
"You ok?" he asked
"Yeah, I'm great" she answered before kissing him quickly. She rested her head on his shoulder and continued watching her little brother/partner getting married to the love of his life.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
The reception was taking place in a small castle that Rick had rented for them as his wedding gift. When all the guests had arrived from the church, drinks began to be served while Ryan and Jenny tried to go and talk to everyone. Rick had gone to take drinks for himself and Kate. When he came back to her, she was desperately trying to get rid of Jake.
Yes, unfortunately, he had been invited. That was a courtesy gesture from Ryan during the first week of his training. Obviously Ryan hadn't think Jake would turned up to be like … that. And you couldn't just un-invite someone to your wedding!
Rick saw Kate relax when she noticed he was coming over. He handed her her drink saying "Here you go Honey" and putting his arm around her waist.
"Thanks" she said, "do you know where Lanie and Javier are?" she asked, getting closer to him and trying to shut Jake out of the conversation
"I think I saw Lanie at the bar, she was talking to Jenny, but I have no idea where her other half could be"
"Just behind you bro" Esposito said, coming towards them, "You know, you've been back for four days now and you still haven't answered my question …"
"What question?" Rick asked, confused
"How was France?"
"Oh, THIS question!" Rick laughed, "well, it was great. Next time I go I take Kate with me" he said, looking at her in the eyes
"Richard Castle, you are not proposing to Kate in France, I need to be here … and I need to be engage before you" Lanie said, coming to them, making Kate choke on her drink.
"Lanie! Please don't make me spill on that dress"
"Yes, that would be a shame" Rick said, looking at her from head to toe hungrily, lingering longer on certain sections.
"Eyes up Ricky" Kate said, slapping him gently on his chest.
"So, why did you go to France?" Jake asked Rick, clearly uncomfortable with the previous conversation.
"I was on a book tour" Rick started to explain.
Kate didn't hear the rest because all her attention was taken by Jenny and her mother. She had never met her but they seemed to be really close to each other. Jenny's mother was talking to her daughter, a huge smile on her face and some tears in her eyes. When she pulled Jenny into a hug, Kate could feel her eyes starting to water as well. She was realizing more and more often that her own mother would not be there for her wedding day. Kate excused herself from their little gathering and walked pretty fast to the door leading outside of the reception room.
"What's happening to her?" Lanie asked.
"I think I know", Rick said, noticing Jenny and her mother still hugging and kissing, "I'll be right back" he said, giving his glass to Jake and following Kate's way out of the door.
He found her sitting on the stairs leading to the gardens. He walked slowly to her, making sure to make his shoes squeak on the gravel so that she wasn't too surprised to see him. He sat down next to her and waited. She was crying silently, trying to get to her tears before they ruin her makeup. When she seemed to have calmed down, he pulled her closer to him.
"How are you feeling?" he asked
"Stupid" she answered
"Why?"
"Because I nearly ran out of one of my best friends' wedding ." she said, a small smile appearing on her face.
"Why did you leave?" he asked calmly
"I … I got jealous. It's just … I saw Jenny with her mother and … they seemed so happy to be together on the particular day… it made me realize my mother won't be here for our wedding." She answered, resting her head on his shoulder.
He felt really happy when he heard her say "our wedding" but it was definitely not the time to tease her.
"She will be with you on our wedding day, I don't know how yet, but she'll be there, I promise" he whispered quietly in her ear.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
The diner was finished and dancing had now been going for about half an hour. Kate had smiled when she had seen Jenny dance with her father, thinking that she would at least have that part in her wedding. She was sitting at the table the NYPD group had shared, watching Rick dance with Lanie, the former having insisted that she "had to try Kate's man in one way at least". When the music change, she was surprised to find Kevin Ryan come to her.
" Can I have a dance with my boss?"
"Sure" she laughed, taking the hand he was presenting to her.
"So, how is your day going?" Ryan asked as they started dancing
"It's going great" she answered, smiling at him. "Your wedding is absolutely perfect Kevin, and your bride is absolutely gorgeous. You picked the good one"
"I know" he simply said, "I'm really lucky to have found her. I was totally freaking out about this day"
"I noticed. You were shaking like a leaf during a storm at the church" she laughed
"Yeah … please don't remind me" he laughed. " The thing is, now I'm completely freaking out for the next big day of my life …"
"You're already thinking about getting married again?" Kate asked, shocked at what she was hearing
"What ? No! Of course not! What would you say something like that?" he asked, completely confused.
"Well you were talking about the 'next big day of your life'"
"Oh, no, that's not what I meant" Ryan laughed. "I was thinking of that day in nearly seven months."
"What is in nearly seven mon… Oh!" she said, realizing what he meant and seeing a huge smile on his face. "Really? Jenny is pregnant?"
"Yes she is. We're going to have a baby", he said, tears gathering in his eyes.
"That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks. And well … we wanted to ask you. Would you like to be the godmother?"
She stopped moving along with the music, completely stunned by the question.
"What?" she asked
"Would you like to be my first child's godmother?" Ryan repeated.
"Don't you want someone in your family to do it? I mean …"
"You are part of my family Kate" he interrupted her. "So, would you?"
"Of course! I'd love to! Oh my God, I can't believe it!" she said, smiling. "Who else knows about your baby?"
"Just you and the godfather so far. We didn't tell anyone yet, it's a surprise for the end of the evening" Ryan smiled
"And who's the godfather?" Kate asked.
Just as he was going to answer, they heard Jenny laughing very loud. They turned to her and found her crushed in Esposito's arms. He was spinning her around in the air.
"Esposito?" she asked
"Of course, who else?" Ryan laughed
"I'm so happy for you two" Kate said again, crushing Ryan to her, not realizing that she was taller than him with her high heels on and consequently not realizing that she was pressing his face on her chest. Someone realized though and got to them rather quickly.
"Ryan, I like you and all but why is your head in my woman's boobs?"
"Oh my God!" Kate almost shrieked as she realized, but still unable to erase the smile form her face.
"Don't worry, she's all yours" Ryan said, smiling but blushing to the point of being confounded with a tomato.
"What was going on here?" Rick asked, still confused
"You can tell him" Ryan said before moving away and going back to his wife.
"So, are you going to tell me?" Rick asked Kate as they started to dance to a new song.
"I'm going to be a godmother !"
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
At about three in the morning, guests started to leave. Rick and Kate were sitting in one of the couches that were lined up against the walls. After the newlyweds' announcement, Kate hadn't seem to be able to keep her hand to herself. She was currently sitting on Rick's lap, kissing him more passionately than it was appropriate for a wedding, even if it were yours, which was not the case.
"I think we should go home" Rick said breathlessly.
"Why?"
"Because, as much as I love your awesome and gorgeous naked body, I don't want to share it with anyone and if you keep kissing me like that you're going to be naked before you know it", he said, tracing patterns on her leg under the dress.
Kate stood up and pulled him by the hand.
"Let's say goodbye and go home."
Once they were back at the loft, they went directly to the bedroom. Kate was not even sure if she opened her eyes once on the way between the front door and the bedroom, way too focused on what Rick was doing to her. Rick had his eyes open, he couldn't take them off Kate and her dress the he was studying inch by inch, trying desperately to find how to take it off her in record time and touching her exactly where she wanted to be touched.
Anyway, neither of them saw the answering machine flickering.
