"Evening, Miss Rodgers," The receptionist Isabelle said to Martha with a warm smile.
"Evening darling." Martha responded as she walked towards the lift.
"Miss Rodgers, Something was left for your loft while you were out."
Martha stopped in her tracks and walked towards the front desk. The receptionist picked up a baby carrier off the ground and onto the desk. "Oh my god," Martha said shocked when she saw a newborn baby in the carrier.
"I was helping Mr. Johns take his grocery up when I came back the baby was here, the baby had a note saying Mr. Castle, you're a daddy."
Isabelle looked at Martha's shocked reaction. "Do you want me to call social services?" Isabelle asked.
"No, Isabelle, Richard will be home soon and we will figure it out," Martha said taking the carrier of the desk and up to the loft with her.

Martha sat nursing a nearly empty wine glass in one hand, as she watched the sleeping baby in the carrier on the coffee table. As she heard the key's in the door, Martha took one last sip and then placed it on the coffee table.
Martha watched as her son looked as surprised and shocked as she did when she first saw the baby. "Mother I'm used to you bringing home company, but you've never brought company like this," Rick said hanging up his coat.
"Isabelle gave the baby to me as I was walking in, the baby had a note saying Mr. Castle your daddy, Richard I hate to ask, but Katherine has been gone for months and we didn't find her body."
"Stop," Rick told her he know what she was getting at. "I haven't been with anyone else besides my wife, maybe Kelly and Tyson have her somewhere and she was pregnant for all these months."
"Richard I don't..."
"Mother it makes's sense, Kate has been gone for 9 months."
Soon they heard a the door being unlocked, Rick didn't really want to explain this to Alexis at the moment. Alexis had the same reaction as her mother and grandma. "Dad what's going on?"
"Sweetie, I thought you weren't coming home till Friday."
"It is Friday, dad know answer my question?"
"Your father thinks, this baby is his and Katherine's," Martha informed her granddaughter.
"Dad they found blood, her blood we had a funeral for her."
"But they didn't find a body and Kate has been gone for nine months."
"I think you should get a DNA test darling, this could just be a crazed fan claiming that you're the father to their baby."
"Okay but till then the baby is staying here, I'm going to get the baby stuff from the cosmo case out of the storage basement. Alexis get some formula, diapers etc for a newborn baby, Mother watch the baby and try to find out if they are a boy or girl." Rick said grabbing his coat and leaving the loft.
Alexis looked over at her grandma puzzled. "Grams.." She started.
"Just go with it darling, just till the test come back."
"Okay," Alexis said leaving the loft.
