Chapter 30 - 15 Weeks

They sat silently in the exam room, waiting for the doctor to come back in with her results. Kate had been anxious all morning about whether or not the doctor would give her the okay to go about her normal life again. She had barely touched her breakfast, which under normal circumstances Castle wouldn't have let fly. He knew that she had been restless the night before. Anxious to find out how she and the baby were doing after a week of bed rest.

When the door opened, both Kate and Rick's eyes shot towards the doctor.

"Everything looks great, so you can relax. It looks like you made sure to get rest this past week and your blood pressure is back to normal, which is what we had hoped for. Please Kate, stay out of any stressful situations, and I'll see you back in a month. At which time we will be able to check to see if we can determine the sex of your baby."

Rick started to rub his hands together excitedly, looking towards Kate with a huge grin on his face.

"Rick, it's a girl. Don't look too excited."

"Oh, the two of you want a different sex?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, I think it's a girl, I want it to be a girl. He want's a boy, because he already has a girl."

"Oh!" the doctor said excitedly. "That means the next appointment will be exciting."

The doctor stood from her chair, standing to rest her hand on Kate's shoulder.

"So, you two, I will see you in a month, until then, Kate.. No strenuous activity. Stay off your feet as much as possible, and have fun, don't let the stress take over your pregnancy. Being pregnant is supposed to be a fun time in your life."

As soon as the door was closed Kate jumped up and started to get dressed quickly. Rick watched as she struggled to throw her clothes on, wondering why she was in such a hurry, he reached out and took hold of her arm to still her.

"What's the hurry?"

"Well I was thinking," she turned to him, grabbing for his other hand and placing them both around her waist. "Maybe we could go home and you know," She winked, "before we have to pick Lex up from your mother."

"Wow, those pregnancy hormones are a real thing." He pulled her hips into his.

"Yeah, and it's been a whole week.. for me."

"You can't hold that against me. I was willing to wait it out. You on the…"

Kate interrupted, "Don't act like you didn't love every minute of it."

"Well of course I loved it. Up until this week you had seemed completely uninterested in oral."

"I wasn't uninterested in it, you never asked."

"Should I have to ask?"

"Have to? Excuse me…"

"I didn't mean it like that. I just mean that it's not something that I'm going to ask of my pregnant girlfriend. If she seems uninterested then I'm not going to push for it."

"Well I am definitely not uninterested in it." She teased, lifting up on her tiptoes to push herself up into him, capturing his lips into a passionate kiss.

"Oh, I know that now, Lets get home." He said as they broke apart, grabbing her hand and yanking her to the door.

"Anxious, are we?" she teased.

"By the way you just shoved your tongue down my throat I'd say you're the anxious one."

As soon as they flew into the loft doors Kate was pulling her shirt up over her head, and running towards the bedroom. Rick was hot on her tail, grabbing at her as she ran from him. When they got to the bedroom, they both started pulling their clothes off. It was a race to see who could get naked the fastest. Rick was the first one there, making his way to help Kate with her pants.

"Sorry, it takes a little longer to strip now." She sighed as she plopped down on the bed. Seeming a little defeated, Rick took hold of her hands.

"You're fine, babe. I love undressing you anyway." He dropped to his knees to help pull her pants off her legs, placing a kiss on her swollen belly while he was down there.

"You're lips are needed elsewhere right now." She said, shimmying her hips in front of him.

He looked up, a devilish grin spreading across his face. Shoving her shoulders back onto the bed, her upper body falling against the mattress.

He kissed his way up one leg, placing it over his shoulder before parting her lips, and running two fingers through her heat. He teased her a bit before leaning in, tongue diving in, he started to suck and lick, trying to taste all of her. He gently thrust a finger inside, moving in and out slowly, when he thrust in a second finger she began to moan loudly, begging Castle for more.

"Rick, I want you inside of me."

"Kate, just let me do this for you." he placed a kiss on the inside of her thigh, and continued to thrust his fingers in and out of her.

She started to sit up and his head rose again, "Is something wrong?"

"I just don't like it," She paused and his eyes grew large.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

"No, It's not you, it's me.. It's just not as intimate as I want it to be. I want to feel close to you."

He slid both fingers out of her, sucking the juices off his fingers.

"Okay, I can do that." He stood up, shoving her farther up the bed and climbing in after her, settling in between her legs. He pulled a pillow from the top of the bed and pulled her hips up, sliding the pillow under her bottom.

"This will be more comfortable hopefully, but if it's not, just stop me, and we will figure something out, Okay?"

"I love you babe." She said, grabbing his hand and pulling it down over her swollen breast.

"You sure you don't mind if I touch?"

"They don't hurt too bad today. Just be careful."

He nodded, taking one of his hands and separating her legs more before leaning over her body. He started to massage her breast carefully before taking her nipple into his mouth.

"Ahhhh, baby." She moaned, tossing her head back and arching her back up.

He started to suck harder, drawing louder moans from her before switching to the other breast.

She slid her own hand between their bodies and ran her fingers through her own heat, running circles over her clit.

He could tell that her body was relaxing and that she was becoming more comfortable. He released her nipple from his mouth with a pop and began to run kisses between her breast and down her slightly round belly. As he worked his way lower she began to tense up again.

"Really? You don't want me to?" he questioned before going any further.

She shook her head, grabbing his arms and pulling him back up her body, capturing his mouth in a deep, passionate kiss.

He slid his fingers down her belly, running them through her folds and then he took hold of his own length and began rubbing his tip at her entrance, spreading her juices over himself before thrusting inside of her. The first thrust was slow and drew a deep moan from his girlfriend. He had been with many women, but not one of them had made him feel the way she did when they made love. It was like their bodies were made for each other and every time felt like the best time.

He began to slide in and out of her at a slow, but steady pace. Spreading her legs further apart to gain more access. He leaned back down over her body, propping himself up on his elbows, trying not to smash their baby between them. He began to suck on her neck, running kisses over her jaw and lapping his tongue right below her ear where she liked it. She could feel her orgasm starting to build, causing her to squeeze her inner muscles tighter, gaining the attention of her boyfriend. He began to thrust harder and faster, urged on by Kate's hands who had found themselves grabbing tight onto his backside, where she could easily push him further into her every time he thrust. She pulled his body down tighter over hers, sucking on his neck as his thrust became irratic.

"Rick, are you almost there?"

"Yeah, babe, but after you." he slowed his pace, putting his own orgasm off until he got her there first.

"No, I want us to do it together."

He ran one of his hands through her hair on the side of her head, drawing it away from her face before leaning in to whisper into her ear.

"You're so beautiful." He said as he ran his tongue up her throat.

He thrust harder into her, moving at a faster pace, slamming into her, and as soon as he felt himself almost let go, he reached down between their bodies and began to move slow circles over her clit.

He felt her whole body tense under his and then she was screaming his name in his ear, causing him to immediately release into her. He slowly continued to pump in and out of her as her body sucked his dry.

He placed small kisses down her neck and over her chest as he withdrew from her body. She moaned at the loss and chills spread across her body.

"Baby," She reached for him, pulling him back down onto her body. "Just a few minutes."

He began to kiss her slowly, rubbing his hands up her sides.

"We really have to go get Lex, but tonight we can spend as much time as you want like this."

She nodded, releasing him from her hold.

"You run yourself a bath, and relax. I'll go get Alexis, and pick up dinner and then we can eat and watch a movie."

"Don't be silly, I'll make us dinner. We've been eating out too much anyway."

"Kate, you really shouldn't.."

"What? Cook my family dinner?" she cut him off, releasing her hold on him.

"Okay, okay, fine. I get it, I'll back off." He said as he got up and walked to the bathroom to get dressed.

"Thank you." She yelled out, jumping off the bed and running to the bathroom after him.

Kate was standing in the kitchen, prepping the salad for dinner when she heard the front door swing open. Then there was a little red head running in her direction, throwing herself into Kate's legs and wrapping her arms around them.

"Hey you little monkey," Kate bent down to pick Alexis up and placed the little girl over her hip.

"Kate… you really shouldn't be holding her, she is a little heavy."

Kate's head snapped over at him, "If I want to hold the princess, I'm gonna hold the princess, right Lex?" Kate tickled her stomach.

Alexis' eyes met her fathers and she wiggled down off Kate's hip.

"Daddy told me I had to be careful because of the baby. I'm not suppose to let you pick me up anymore, because I'm getting too big."

She started to play with the little girls pigtails, "Is that what he said, huh?" Her eyes looked up towards Castle who was aimlessly moving about the kitchen, trying to avoid her.

"Well, there is a baby in there," she pointed to Kate's stomach.

"Wanna touch it?" Kate asked.

"Can I?"

Kate reached out, grabbing Alexis hand and pulling her shirt up over her belly so that Alexis' hand could lay over her stretched skin.

"That's where the baby is?"

"Yep!" Kate nodded excitedly.

The truth is, Kate had been struggling with this pregnancy. Some days everything was fine and she was totally accepting of the changed occurring to her body and the changed that were happening in her life. If you had asked her 6 months ago if she was ready for a baby, she would have assured you that a child did not belong in her life. Now she had one growing safe inside her womb, and another one that had stolen her heart along with her daddy.

When Alexis was excited about the baby, or asking questions about the baby is when Kate felt most confident. Being able to be around Alexis so much had eased her mind about being a parent. She no longer feared being a mom so young, or missing out on so many things because she was becoming a parent so young. She could feel herself settling into this life with Alexis and Rick. He had assured her that they would be a family no matter what, and this was the first time that she believed him. Alexis would be bound to this baby no matter what, and she was bound to Rick for life.

"I love you Kate,"

A smile broke across Kates face as she looked into Alexis' big blue eyes. She hoped her baby had those same blue eyes.

"I love you more Lex, don't you ever forget it." she tapped her finger on the tip of the little girls nose.

She shook her head from side to side, "I wont."
