AN: This is another M chapter, so if you're not here for that stop before they head off the dance floor. Enjoy and see you on Thursday for another update :)

Lanie

It was the morning of Lanie and Esposito's wedding. Kate was putting on her maid of honor dress and pouted as she looked in the mirror. She looked huge. When Lanie had planned this wedding, Kate wasn't pregnant, so agreeing to a color that wasn't slimming wasn't a problem then. However, now, this blue made her look like a whale.

"Castle!"

He stepped out of the bathroom. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Kate turned to face him with a pout on her face. "Castle, I look like a whale."

He chuckled before he wrapped his arms around her. "Sweetheart, you are anything but a whale. You look incredible."

"You're just saying that so I don't shoot you."

"You should know me better than that by now, Mrs. Castle. I always think you look incredible."

"So you're saying that you have a biased opinion and I probably do look like a whale?"

"I am not saying that. I am saying that I think my wife looks incredible, especially when she's carrying our baby girl."

She stepped out of his arms and looked over to the mirror. She placed her hand over her growing stomach. She was five months pregnant and everyone kept saying that she looked great, that she didn't look like she was even pregnant. However, she felt like a whale, especially today. She put her hair up and then down, then up again.

"Castle, do I look less like a whale with my hair up or down?"

He shook his head. "You don't look like a whale whether your hair was up or down. I prefer your hair down though. It's easier for me to run my fingers through it."

She gave him a soft smile before she let her hair fall again. "Need help with your tie?" He nodded and she walked over to him, helping him tie his tie. "I hope that Lanie and Espo's wedding goes better than our first attempt to get married."

"I hope so too. I don't wish that on anyone. Even though I don't really remember that time away from you, I don't want anyone to be put through what we had to go through. I still feel terrible about that day."

She put her finger to his lips. "Shhh, Castle. I don't blame you for any of that. I know it wasn't your choice to leave me that day and those three months. It's behind us now. We're here, we're married, we have a baby on the way."

He placed his hand in between them and on her stomach. "That we are. Right, Cosma?"

"Her name is not Cosma." She finished tying his tie. "Now, come on. We can't be late. It doesn't matter if I'm pregnant, Lanie will kill us."

They got to the church and since Kate was pregnant, her, Ryan, Jennie, and Castle were sitting down in the front pew.

"I know everyone's story is different and what works for some doesn't for others, but I'm glad our story isn't theirs. We waited four years to get together, but I'm glad we didn't break up multiple times to see what was right in front of us all this time," Castle whispered in her ear.

She rested her head against his shoulder. "I am too. We might have if we got together sooner than we did, but we took our time."

"And then took a little extra time."

She couldn't argue with that. "But it ended up for the best." She took his hand in hers and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

"It definitely did." He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "I'll never trade my life with you. Not for anything."

"Neither will I, Castle." She placed a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

They both heard a "Um hm," come from Lanie. She was giving them a look that said, "Get your lips off of each other, this is my wedding." If looks could kill, that one would have. They both gave her an apologetic look and didn't take their eyes off of Lanie or Esposito for the rest of the ceremony.

The rest of the ceremony was beautiful and so was the reception so far. Kate's hormones were making her emotional, so she did end up crying during the ceremony. Lanie came over to her and dragged her away from Castle, to steal a dance with her best friend.

"I'm glad that this time we were both involved in a wedding party, the wedding actually happened."

"You and me too, girl. Who would have thought that Javi and I would have ended up together after the break ups that we've been through?"

"We all had a pretty good idea. Just like you and everyone else had a pretty good idea that Castle and I would end up together."

"Kate, anyone with eyes could see that you two were going to end up together. How many suspects that you interviewed asked you two if you were a couple?"

"I didn't keep track."

"Exactly. How's baby doing?"

Kate smiled. "Besides playing soccer with my bladder, she's doing great."

Lanie touched her stomach. "Listen to Aunt Lanie little one, stop making mommy pee every five minutes." They both laughed before Lanie took her hand away. "I hope if Javi ever comes around that I'll look like you when I'm pregnant."

"I feel like a whale."

"Honey, you're anything but a whale."

"That's what Castle said."

"Well, for once, I agree with your husband."

"Well, I hope you agree with me on this too. Mind if I cut in?"

Lanie stopped dancing with Kate and turned around to see Castle standing there. Both women gave him a smile. "Go ahead, Castle." Castle surprised her and took her hand to dance with her instead of Kate's, which caused her to laugh. "Don't dip me, Castle."

"Don't worry, I won't. Did Kate ask you?"

"Ask me what?" She looked over to her side, where Kate was standing.

"To be godmother to this little one," Kate said as she put her hand on her stomach.

"Are you kidding!? That's the best wedding present you two could have given me. Of course!" She hugged the both of them. She let them go with a smile. "I'll leave you two to dance."

Castle took Kate's hand and pulled her in close. "I heard Lanie agrees with me that you don't look like a whale."

"Don't get used to her agreeing with her."

"Oh, I won't. But at least I know who to count on when my wife needs some convincing that she looks incredible when she doesn't believe me."

"Well, there are other ways you can convince me besides calling up Lanie," she gave him one of those seductive smiles.

"Oh?! Well then, Mrs. Castle. Lets go find a coat closet so I can make sure my convincing skills are up to par."

He took her off of the dance floor and headed outside of the dinning hall. "Do you know where a coat closet is?"

"No idea, but I'm sure we'll find one. Only bad thing is, it's the middle of August, so I don't think we're going to find it by someone putting their coat away."

"On the other hand, there's no reason for anyone to open that said coat closest," she said before she moved her hand into his pocket and brushed her fingers against his length.

He stopped her hand. "Katherine Castle, behave until we find that coat closet."

They walked down the stairs and it took a bit, but they found a coat closet. As soon as Castle shut the doors, Kate didn't waste anytime capturing his lips in a passionate kiss, which he of course returned. She didn't tease him, she just let her tongue part his lips and explored every inch of his mouth before tangling her tongue with his. He, gently, pushed her up against the wall and helped her wrap her legs around his waist. He made sure that he had a good grip on her, not wanting his wife to fall. She broke their kiss, when the need to breathe became too much, but he moved his lips to her neck. He placed nipping kisses to her sensitive skin, knowing it drove her crazy.

"Castle," she let a small moan of his name escape her as she tilted her head to the side.

Normally, he would make sure each patch of skin was touched in some way, but he knew they had to be quick. Lanie would notice if they were gone for too long. As he kissed down her neck, he moved her dress up a bit and moved his one hand to her panties. He let his fingers run over her, through the material, before he moved them aside and touched her clit. She let another moan escape her as he let his thumb rub against the sensitive skin. He felt how wet she was and knew that she was ready for him. He moved her hand from her panties and sucked off her juices from his fingers.

As he did so, her hands moved to his belt, undoing it with ease, along with the buttons and zipper to his pants. He then lowered his pants and his boxers, before he moved her panties aside once more. There was no teasing this time, he entered her and she let out another moan. He closed his eyes, preventing himself from letting out a groan of his own. After all these years, she still felt amazing. When he felt her bucking her hips into his, he made sure to buck his hips back into hers...only harder and he didn't stop after one buck. He made sure to keep the pace hard and fast.

She gripped onto his shirt, he had taken his suit jacket off a few hours ago, but she made sure it wasn't enough to rip it. She moved her hips with his, but as she came closer to her orgasm, her movements were a bit sloppy.

"Let go, Kate. I'm right behind you."

With that, she tilted her head back. She bit her bottom lip, as she had her orgasm, not wanting anyone to hear her screaming his name. Her eyes were closed, but she felt him biting the skin covering her collarbone and she knew he was preventing himself from doing the same thing. His movements slowed as both of them came down from their orgasm and he kissed the skin that he had bitten before moving his lips. When he stopped moving his hips, he pressed a soft loving kiss to her lips.

"I love you."

She smiled against his lips. "I love you too."

"Are my convincing skills still up to par?"

She smiled wider as his forehead rested against hers. "Definitely."
