Yes! We do, you bursting in when we were going to do stuff!” Castle said groaning,
“Dad be quiet, you can have sex whenever but this is important.”
“Alexis what is it?” Kate asked sitting up bringing the blanket up to her neck,
“Well I think you need to see for yourselves. Meet me in the sitting room ASAP.” She left the door ajar,
“Castle get up.” Kate said as she rooted around for a dressing robe,
“Coming.” He mumbled,
When both of them had dressing gowns on they walked into the sitting room to find Alexis sitting on the couch with her laptop.
“Ok Alexis what’s the problem?” Kate said sitting down beside her.
Alexis showed her the laptop screen, she was on the New York Times website, and the title read: NYPD’S DETECTIVE BECKETT AND NOVELIST RICHARD CASTLE TRYING AND FAILING FOR A BABY?
“How the hell did they know?!” Kate snapped
“I have no idea, and the press is outside to ambush you with questions whenever you leave.” Alexis said
“Well this is all I need,” Kate groaned and put her head in her hands,
“It’ll be ok babe I promise.” Rick said into Kate’s ear and he rubbed her shoulders.
Suddenly Kate’s phone went,
“Alexis can you get that for me?” Kate asked,
“Sure,” Alexis walked over to the kitchen and got Kate’s phone out of her bag,
“It’s Lanie.”
“Put it on speak please.”
Alexis did as she was told.
“Kate Beckett Castle!” Lanie said on the other end of the line,
“Hello to you too Lanie.” Kate mumbled,
“How the hell does the press know you’re trying for a baby and I don’t?” She demanded,
“I don’t fricken know, we were keeping it to ourselves!” Kate snapped,
“Girl are you ok?” Lanie asks sounding worried,
“No.” Kate just simply said,
“Ok Ima come over right now.” Lanie said and ended the call.
“Great.” Kate murmured, “It’s currently 10:30 pm and I have press outside the building and Lanie coming to interrogate me.”
“Look Kate you go off to bed and I’ll talk to Lanie.” Rick said
“No it’s fine, I’m just stressed.” Kate said getting up off the sofa,
“I’m going to go and get changed, I don’t think Lanie wants me to great her in my underwear.” Kate said and walked slowly towards the bedroom.
“Dad,” Alexis said, “Go as well, if Lanie comes I’ll keep her company while you guys talk.”
“Thanks pumpkin, I owe you one.” Rick replied and followed Kate towards their bedroom.
Rick found Kate curled up in a ball on their bed,
Rick didn’t know what to do so he just wrapped his arms around her, as much as he wanted to protect her from the press he couldn’t do anything.
