“Sure, what do ya want, Action? Comedy? Romantic? Rom-com? Tragedy?” Rick asked going over to the DVD shelf,
“Titanic?” Kate suggested, she had always loved that movie,
Rick scanned through the DVD’s for a minute searching for it,
“Got it!” He muttered to himself and popped it into the DVD player.
By the end of the movie Kate had tears streaming down cheeks,
“You ok?” Rick asked wiping her tears away with his thumb,
“Yes and No.” Kate said
“Care to elaborate?” Rick asked, gently rubbing her cheek with his thumb,
“I’m so happy being here with my beautiful husband and my amazing step-daughter and my epic mother-in-law and I have a job that I love. But no because I just really want to talk with my mom, not just standing at her grave talking to her, like actually talking to her in person and her replying but that can’t happen and it makes me sad. And now I can’t have a baby and the whole City is talking about us and then the paparazzi is outside our home and the Precinct and then their talking about us on the TV and writing about us in the newspaper!” Kate said and the tears started to fall again,
“Hey it’s ok, in a year we will have a little Castle running around the house and in a few days the paparazzi will go and annoy somebody else. Everything will be ok in the end, and if it’s not ok it’s not the end.” Rick said giving her hand a squeeze.
“You do know how to make me feel better don’t you?” Kate said smiling a little.
“Yes I do, and it is now 1 o’clock and it’s time for lunch.” Rick said giving Kate a quick kiss on the lips and heading towards the kitchen.
“But I’m still stuffed from breakfast!” Kate protested,
“Nope you need to eat so we can make a baby.” Rick said firmly as he took out some bread.
The next few days went by with no disasters, Kate was eating properly and was gaining weight.
“Kate you ready?” Rick asked, they were just about to leave for Kate’s appointment with Doctor Watson.
“Nearly!” Kate called,
A minute later she came out of the bedroom wearing a pair of jeans and red t-shirt and a pair of black high heels. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun.
“Ok I’m ready.” She said stuffing her phone in her pocket.
The paparazzi had left the Loft and the Precinct alone, there were still a few cameras when they went outside and there were a few small articles in the newspaper about them but it wasn’t too bad.
The couple sat in the waiting room, there were only two other people, a pregnant woman and an old man.
They all sat in silence waiting for the doctor.
“Katherine Beckett?” The receptionist asked peering into the room,
Kate got up followed by Rick and they headed towards Doctor Watsons office.
“Mrs. Castle, welcome back.” The doctor said shaking both of their hands,
“Now can you just take your shoes off and any heavy jewellery and hop up on the scales.”
Kate did as she was instructed
The doctor took a few notes and told her to sit back down.
“Ok well the good news is that you have gained just under 1 stone, so I would recommend to continue the routine for at least another week or two, then you should be able to become pregnant!”
“Thank you so much doctor!” Kate said shaking his hand.
“Do you feel any better since the diet?” Rick asked as they entered the loft,
“I do actually, I feel like I have more energy and I just feel better.” Kate said taking a seat on the sofa,
“You look better, your face has more colour and it’s plumper. You look much healthier as well.” Rick said beginning to make them some sandwiches.
“Hey guys!” Alexis said walking through the door,
“Hey sweetie.” Rick said planting a kiss on her forehead,
“How was the appointment?” She asked taking a seat beside Kate,
“It was good.” Kate said flicking on the TV,
“Will I have a sibling soon?” Alexis asked,
“Well not yet no maybe in a few weeks or so we might know.” Kate said grinning at her,
“Here,” Rick said handing her plate with some kind of sandwich on it.
“Thanks babe,” She said,
They all ended up watching movies for the next few hours.
After they finished their second movie Rick started to prepare dinner,
“You staying Alexis?” Rick asked as he started to boil water for the pasta,
“Sure!” Alexis said starting to lay the table.
Kate started to make drinks for everyone as well,
“Where’s Grams?” Alexis asked as they all sat down for pasta,
“She has found some new actor guy so she has gone of Philadelphia to some play thing.” Rick said stuffing his face with pasta,
“Right and when did she meet him?”
“The day before she went to Philly with him...”
“Is that not a bit early, he could be a serial killer...”
“She said at her age you had to take a chance.”
“Right ok then...” Alexis said, over the years she had gotten to love her grans quirkiness and how unique she was.
The group made small talk while eating their dinner.
“Thanks dad” Alexis said as Rick cleared the plates into the dishwasher,
Kate yawned loudly,
“You tired?” Rick asked coming up behind his wife hugging her from behind,
“A small bit I’m fine.”
“No come on you need sleep,”
The next thing Kate knew Rick had swept her off of her feet and was heading towards the bedroom,
“Rick put me down,” Kate giggled,
“Ok” Rick said and dropped her onto the bed,
Rick then undone the button on her trousers and flung them to the other side of the room and done the same with her shirt,
“Now sleep.” He said throwing the blanket over her.
“Thanks.” Kate muffled as she snuggled into the blanket.
