Disclaimer: I would destroy Castle if I won it so be happy when I say: I don't own anything.
AN: chapter 3, again for my friends Suzanne and Nessa.
This chapter is more in the futer, Suzanne and Nessa are almost 4.
The best picnic ever,
"Hihi! Stop Nessa!" Suzanne's voice filled the house.
"Shh! Suz your parents are still asleep." Alexis took the two little girls to the table.
"Sorry…" Suzanne and Nessa said in union.
Alexis made breakfast for them, a slice of bread with strawberry jam. She remembered what her dad had asked yesterday, she smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" Suzanne asked.
Alexis didn't expect anything else from that little girl, she is so smart! "I just thought about how much I love you two!" the two little girls smiled and ran towards Alexis.
They hugged their big sister tight, Alexis was happy to have them as sisters.
"So, who wants to go playing on the playground?" Alexis pointed towards the playground.
"Me!" Nessa jumped up to go outside.
"Uhuu, you forget something Nessa." Alexis grabbed the bottle of sun cream and held it in front of her nose.
"Ohh! Do I have to?!" Nessa turned around to run away, she hated the sun cream.
"Do you want to become a complete tomato?"
After they were all smeared in, they left to the playground.
Rick woke up when a sunbeam came in the room. His arms were still around Kate who slept like an angel. Carefully he pulled his arms back and stood up. He walked towards the kitchen, he saw plates and cups. Clearly the girls had already ate. Where were they?
He looked in their room but it was empty, he walked back to the kitchen and saw a little note on the table.
Hey,
We are to the playground.
Xxx Suzanne, Nessa and Alexis
He smiled, she really is an amazing sister. He opened the fridge, there were some eggs and some bacon. Good enough.
Kate woke up by the delicious smell of eggs and bacon. She walked out of their room to see Rick standing behind the stove.
"Hey, this smells delicious!" Kate stood behind him, looking over his shoulders and putting her arms around his waist.
"Hey beautiful. I made this special for you." He said and gave her a plate.
Toast with eggs and bacon.
"Where are the girls?" she asked when she took a bite, "Wow! This is really good!"
"One: The girls are with Alexis to the playground. Two: Belgium food is always better."
She smiled at him, they finished their dinner in silence.
"Mommy! Daddy!" the door flew open and Suzanne ran in. She bounced up and Kate lifted her off the ground.
"Hello Suz! How did you sleep?" Kate pressed a kiss on her cheek.
"Good!" she replied kissing her mother back.
Nessa stole some bacon what was left from their breakfast.
"Hey! I want some too!" Suzanne ran over to Nessa but the last piece disappeared in Nessa's mouth. "That is not fair!"
Suzanne punched Nessa on the arm. Nessa punched back and quickly they were running around and rolling on the ground. Kate grabbed Suzanne and Rick grabbed Nessa.
"Let me go!" Nessa was boxed against Rick's arm.
"I have a better idea. Let's go for a walk and on top of a mountain we stop to… PICNIC!
They walked a beautiful route up to a mountain top, Alexis was carrying a bag with food and a picnic blanket. They reached a stream, Suzanne dipped her toe in the water and screamed, "This is so cold!"
Everyone laughed and walked further. Rick had his arm around Kate's waist and when no one was looking they shared a kiss.
Rick showed Kate a stone, it was in the shape of a heart. "Here, for you." Rick handed Kate the stone and she kissed him.
Suzanne screamed to them "Stop kissing and come here! It's beautiful up here!"
They laughed and walked further up the mountain. When they reached the top their eyes almost fell out of their heads. The mountains were all green and the sun was just shining above them.
Kate felt Suzanne's hand in hers, she looked down at the little girl. She saw she was scared so she kneeled down. "Hey, you are not going to fall."
Suzanne nodded but didn't let Kate's hand go.
"Okay enough of staring at the mountains, I'm hungry!" Rick opened the bag and took the blanket out.
After lunch Rick looked at Alexis with 'The look' and she got the message.
"Suz, Nessa? I have an idea. Let's make a little play for your parents!" Alexis looked at the two girls, hoping that they would agree.
"Okay!" Suzanne said and Nessa nodded. Alexis took them back into the forest so that they could practice.
"Aww, that's sweet." She said while Alexis walked away with Nessa and Suzanne.
"Yeah I know" Rick offered her his hand, she took it and he pulled her up.
He led her to a little open space between the trees, "You know one of my most beautiful days of my life so far was the day you told me you were pregnant. Since that day I wanted to ask you the same question, today is the day that I finally found the courage to ask that question."
He kneeled down on one knee, took a box out of his pocket and opened it. A gorgeous silver ring with a white diamond was shining in the sun.
"Katherine Houghton Beckett, will you marry me?"
Kate's eyes grew wide and just for a moment he thought she was going to say 'no'.
"Ohh yes… yes!" Kate was so happy, she just couldn't believe that he finally asked her!
He took her hand and he put the ring on her finger. He stood up and he took her cheeks in his hands. They kissed until the need for air became too much.
"Rick, it's beautiful…" Kate didn't know what to say "Doesn't this cost a fortune?"
"For you, nothing is too expensive." He kissed her again.
By the time they got back Suzanne and Nessa were finishing the last things for their play.
Alexis looked at her dad with her face like 'And?'. He gave her a quick nod and he couldn't hide the smile that came out like firework.
"Mommy and Daddy, take a seat!" Nessa said with a dramatic voice and pointed towards the blanket.
When they were settled on the blanket with a cup of orange juice and Rick had his phone ready to record Suzanne came walking out of the woods while Alexis said, "Once upon a time there was a beautiful princes named Suzanne."
Suzanne stopped in front of her parents and bowed.
Now it was Nessa's turn. She walked from the one side of the forest to the other side, just like an old lady.
Alexis continued, "There was an poor kid named Nessa, she had lost her parents in the fog and she didn't know where to go. She walked around for days, still lost."
Nessa walked around with a dramatic walk.
"On summer day, princes Suzanne took her horse out for a ride. She rode in the forest on her beautiful white horse."
Suzanne ran around like she sat on a horse with her hand in front of her.
"Suddenly a little girl came out of a bush. Suzanne stopped her horse and climbed down."
Suzanne pulled her arms back and she stopped with running when Nessa came out of a bush. She jumped a little, just like she got off a horse.
"Princes Suzanne asked who the girl was."
"Who are you?" Suzanne asked.
"I am Nessa, I lost my parents in the fog days ago." Nessa replied.
"Ohh, that is so sad. Why don't you come with me to my castle?" Suzanne took her hand and they pretend like they climbed back on her horse.
Together they ran around. They stopped after two rounds of running. Alexis stood up and walked towards the two girls.
"Daddy, this girl lost her parents in the fog. Can we help her to get back to her parents?"
"Of course! Until then, take her to your room and bring her some food." Alexis said with a low voice.
"Okay daddy!" Suzanne took Nessa's hand again and pulled her to the corner of the blanket. She took out two cookies and gave one to Nessa, "Here, eat."
They both ate their cookies and laid down on the ground.
"Days went by while everyone was looking for Nessa's parents. After a week they had found them. They had brought them to the castle. The king had offered them to stay in the castle, so Nessa and Suzanne could be best friends for forever and always."
Alexis took the hands of Nessa and Suzanne and they both bowed. Kate and Ricked clapped so hard that their hand were tickling.
Suzanne, the girl with the spy eye, saw the ring on her mother's finger, "Why do you have a ring on your finger mommy?"
Kate smiled and replied "Because your daddy and I are going to marry."
