This is a really short Chapter!


After they made love, Kate spoke up, "Rick.. I need to tell you something.." She panted.

"Can i just say... You're helping me get over Kate.. I mean you're the only other woman who understands who i am.."

She sat up. "Rick, It's me." Kate said in her original voice. She grabbed a Kleenex and wiped off her makeup, "It's Kate.."

"W..What?" Rick looked at Kate. "You.. you're alive..?" He was starting to raise his voice.

"Rick i-"

"All this time! All this damn time it was you?! He got off the bed, "You lied to me about dying.. Kate, i went to your funeral!" He shouted, "I drowned myself in alcohol only to find out you're alive."

"Rick i did it for a reason! None of what i did was to hurt you. You need to understand that."

"Why'd you do it. Tell me one good reason why, Kate."

"Someone was trying to kill me! I had to change EVERYTHING. I can't even tell my dad! Nobody! That torture i went through in front of you.. remember that? Remember them hurting me? Remember them leaving me in that pile of trash. Well Gates found me. She helped my get my life back alright?! The deaL WAS, i TELL NO ONE... IM BACK FOR YOU BECAUSE.. Because i can't spend my life without you, and our baby cant live without a daddy.." She huffed.

Rick stood there. Thinking. He knew what she said was true, he knew that she would have to keep it in.

"Castle. At least you got to fall in love with me all over again.."

"Kate.. I didn't mean to shout.. but i'm still upset that you never told me." His voice, Shallow and cold.

"I know, I do trust me. I know this hurt you but i cant change it... I would if i could Castle but these last few weeks... Well i saw a different side of you. I don't want to forget."

"Speaking of these last few weeks.." He grinned, "You said the baby was mine?"

"It is" She smiled wide, "It's our baby. We made it from love.." She put her hands on her stomach. "Want to talk to our little boy?" She stood up and walked to him. Castle got on his knees.

"Hey there.. Its daddy..." She whispered looking up at Kate. He looked back at the belly. "You're getting so big... 6 months you've been in there.." He rubbed her belly. You have the best mommy in the world. She's beautiful.. Smart... Sexy and i love her to bits.. I'm Your ruggedly handsome daddy." They both smiled.

"Oh!" Kate said, "He's kicking." She smiled and puts Ricks hand on the part where the baby Kicked. Castle stood up.

"I love you.. Never scare me again okay?" He cupped her cheek.

"I promise Castle.. Always."

"Always."
