So what do you guys think about Kate being pregnant? I thought it would be kinda fun to write in a baby. I've been re-watching the series and so far I think that my favorite episodes are: Little girl lost...A death in the family...Deep in death...The double down...and Vampire weekend. Trivia: what episodes are you're most favorite? The ones that make you slide off the couch laughing or the ones that keep you on the edge of your seat. Those are your 2 categories, I expect an answer in your reviews.

Disclaimers: The usual.


Chapter 12

"Rick...How I am going to do this?" Kate said through the tears. After about half an hour of Rick holding Kate, she decided to go sit on the couch. 10 minutes after that decision, Kate started to cry. She was curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, crying into the cushions. Rick was right beside her, he tried once to pull her up into a sitting position, but quickly learned to leave her be, when she slapped him. So instead he just laid down beside her, while Kate laid face down on the couch.

"It's okay Kate." Rick said reassuringly, "I'll be right there with you. No matter what happens. I promise." Rick tried to keep a strong facade in front of Kate, but on the inside, he was totally freaking out.

After about 2 and half hours of continuously crying, Kate fell asleep. Rick got up and moved, thinking that she would probably want to stretch out. Rick was watching Star Wars, and was 3/4 of the way through, when Kate woke up. She had woken up coughing because she had started to cry in her sleep, and had choked. Rick ran over to Kate. He sat down beside her, and pulled her into a sitting position.

Kate finally calmed down and could breathe. She got up off the couch and walked into her bedroom and Rick followed her. "Rick...just leave me alone right now. I need to figure out what kind of a mess I got myself into." Rick just simply nodded and said, "Okay. When you're ready to talk, call me."

Kate listened to her front door close. She grabbed her phone and dialed Lanie's number.

"Hey girl!"
"Hey Lanie. Do you have anything going on right now?"
"No, why?"
"Can you come over to my place? I need to talk to you...in person."
"Okay, sure. I'll be there in 20."
"Thanks Lanie."
"No problem."

True to her word, 20 minutes later Lanie arrived at Kate's. Once Lanie and Kate were situated on the couch, Lanie began the interrogation for information.

"So spill...what's going on?"
"I'm pregnant."

That was all it took for Lanie to grab Kate in a hug.

"Who's the father?"
"Castle."

Lanie squealed in delight, and once again grabbed Kate.
"Girl, we need to get you a doctor appointment."

Kate agreed and called her doctor. Lanie and Kate decided it was best to keep this appointment from Rick.


THREE DAYS LATER - AT THE APPOINTMENT

"Kate." the nurse called. Lanie had agreed to come for moral support.
"That's me." Kate said.

The nurse took Kate and Lanie back to the exam room. The doctor came in and confirmed that the test was right, that Kate was pregnant.
