Kate’s alarm went off at 9 am, she fumbled with her phone trying to switch it off,
“Ugh is it time already?” Rick mumbled stretching his arms up in the air,
“Yup tragically.” Kate said standing up.
“Ugh ok you go shower I’ll make some breakfast.” Rick said blocking his eyes from the sunlight shining through the curtain.
Rick had prepared a bowl of muesli with blueberries and chopped up strawberries on the top and a glass of orange juice.
“Do I have to eat it all?” Kate asked coming out of the bedroom drying her with a towel,
“Yes, we have to get you to gain weight.”
“But there’s so much of it.” Kate complained,

“Thank you sir.” Kate said and ended the call.
“That went well!” Rick said smiling,
“Yeah,” Kate agreed,
“Wanna watch some tv?” Rick said picking up the remotes off of the coffee table,
“Sure.” Kate said snuggling into his side,
“Novelist Richard Castle and NYPD’s Katherine Beckett also known as the muse for Nikki Heat trying for a baby?” said the news reported,
