"I was wondering where he was," Rick smiled as he walked down the stairs and into the living room to find Jenny holding Harry, talking to him before she fell silent and turned to face the writer, nerves covering her face. "You're free to keep him for a while; he's enjoying being talked too by someone new. I'm sure he gets bored of me and Kate sometimes," Rick admitted, leaning down however to press a kiss to his son's forehead before he looked outside to see the sun rising slowly over the sea. "Did he wake you up Jenny?" he questioned as Jenny shrugged and smiled down at the small boy.
"No but he was awake when I walked past the room and I thought I'd bring him in here so he wouldn't wake anyone else up. It's still early and everyone was up late," the blonde explained as Rick remained silent for a moment, not knowing what to say to her. He wanted to ask how she was, how she and Kevin both were but he wasn't sure how she would think about that. "He's so lovely, you're both really lucky," Jenny admitted as she moved to sit down on the couch before resting the small boy against her thighs before Harry began to kick his legs in the air.
"How are you Jenny?" Rick finally asked as the woman looked up at him for a moment before staring down at Harry again. "Kate told me," he admitted before she sighed and relaxed into the corner of the couch before shutting her eyes briefly. "We don't have to talk about it if you don't want too," he added quickly, now worried that he'd upset her.
"No I'm fine, it's just no one's ever asked me before, they're too worried about upsetting me," Jenny admitted as Rick stared at the exhausted looking woman. "I always thought I would have this huge family, the moment I met Kevin it was all I wanted," she explained before shaking her head. "I can't describe the moment that the doctor told us that I couldn't have kids naturally," the blonde stated as she opened her eyes and glanced across at the writer.
"Are you going to try other ways Jenny?" Rick questioned as she shrugged before smiling down at Harry who was beginning to relax against her thighs. "There's IVF, adoption," he suggested as she nodded slowly, knowing all the options that were available to her.
"We're looking into them kind of," she said quietly. "We haven't told anyone yet, Kevin's doesn't want to talk about it because he's scared of upsetting me. IVF just seems so terrifying and big right now and with Kevin's job it's scary to think of how to fit it in because they'll be appointments to attend," she admitted before shutting her eyes and shaking her head. "I don't think I could do it without him being there all the time to help me and with their job they can't be around when we need them can they?"
"Jenny you can't let the job get in the way of what you and Kevin want. He could get time off while everything is going on. Gates might be angry but she's not cruel, she'd understand," Rick explained as she remained silent for a moment. "If you ever want to talk, we're here. Kate and I," he smiled as Jenny nodded, passing Harry to him before standing up and thanking him. "No problem, we're here to talk whenever you need it," he stated, watching as she silently walked out of the room, the writer guessing that she was returning to bed. Hearing footsteps, Rick continued to stare at her the doorway, surprised when a yawning Kate walked into the room with a pair of shorts and one of his shirts pulled on.
"What are you doing up already?" Kate questioned, moving towards the couch before she cuddled into his side and tickled the child he was holding.
"I was talking to Jenny actually," he admitted as her eyebrows rose. "They'd be amazing parents," he whispered as Kate nodded slowly in agreement before leaning up and kissing him. "I hope they get the chance to have a baby," he muttered as she slowly sat up and took Harry into her arms, cuddling the small boy close to her body as he smiled at her. "We're so lucky to have our family, to have all of our crazy family."
"We are," Kate smiled before yawning. "Let's go and cuddle in bed, it's still early," Kate suggested before standing up and holding a yawning Harry against her chest. "I think someone else wants to go to bed, that makes two out of three so we win Mr Castle," she explained as Rick laughed and stood up, her smile growing as their small family slowly walked out of the room towards their bedroom. "Let me put this one back in bed and then we can go and cuddle."
"Does cuddling mean making out?" he asked as she bit into her lip. "Because it's been a long time since we made out," he smirked as she rolled her eyes and entered the nursery, a small smile covering her face as she rested their son in the crib before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his head and moving away. Approaching the door, Kate laughed when Rick quickly lifted her into his arms and carried towards their bedroom before kicking the door open and carrying her towards the bed. Resting her against the duvet, Rick smile as Kate looked up at him and pulled him down for a kiss. "I love you."
"Did you remember anything last night?" Kate questioned as he shook his head slowly and felt her sigh against his neck before she kissed him again. "We're going to get there though Rick," she said quietly as she cuddled into his side and felt his hand slip under her shirt as her smile grew. Her eyes were shut and she was enjoying the feeling of his fingers brushing against her skin. "Look how far we've come since the accident. You've gone from not knowing about our relationship and our baby to remembering nearly a year's worth of cases and other things as well. We're going to get there Rick," she promised before kissing him again, his smile growing against her lips as she straddled him and stared down at him in amazement.
"I still can't believe that you're my wife," he whispered as she rolled her eyes at him. "Katherine Houghton Castle, you're my wife and we have an amazing family now and everything is better than I could have ever imagined," he explained before leaning up and kissing her again before his hands moved to her shirt buttons and began to quickly undo them before throwing the shirt across the room as her laugh began to ring around the room.

Walking out of the bedroom, Kate smiled as she walked towards the office where she could hear her husband talking to himself. Entering the office, Kate smiled at the sight of Rick holding the phone to the ear as he talked to Alexis, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip before she stepped up behind his chair and wrapped her arms around his neck. She adored hearing him talk to Alexis because it reminded him of one of the first things that had attracted him to her. He may have seemed like a bastard in the early days of their partnership but his clear devotion to his daughter had made her see the different side to him.
"Look Alexis I've got to go now and you should get some breakfast before your lecture," Rick smiled before saying goodbye and putting the phone down, his head turning to kiss his wife who smiled against his lips. "It's nice to see that you're awake finally Mrs Castle," the writer smirked as she moved to sit on his lap while his arms slowly wrapped around her body to keep her close to his body. "They've all gone shopping," he whispered against her lips before they kissed again. "And they took Harry."
"They took Harry shopping?" Kate asked quickly as he nodded. "God help them, he is not a shopping baby and he will scream until they bring him home," she laughed as he brushed hair away from her face. "Do you remember his first trip to the shops?" she asked.
"He screamed so loudly that we just gave up and went home, we managed to persuade my mother to go and buy our groceries," Rick smiled as she nodded, remembering how loud her son had screamed and all the looks they'd received in the shops. Relaxing against her husband's chest, Kate smiled as she shut her eyes and allowed herself to enjoy his hold as they slowly fell silent. "So Mrs Castle, I have something to ask you," Rick stated as she nodded and smiled at him. "I was on the laptop this morning, just generally being nosy and seeing what we had saved," he explained as her eyebrows rose, guessing where this conversation was going. "There was this file, password protected and I've tried every single password I could think of but none of them worked," he stated, a laugh leaving her lips as she reached across for the closed laptop that was resting on his desk. "What's in this top secret file that you've hidden so well?" he whispered into her ear as she rolled her eyes and turned the machine on before finding the file he'd been talking about.
"You were supposed to delete this Mr Castle but you kept putting it off and well, I kept putting it off too," Kate admitted as she typed in the password.
"Hey, tell me the password Detective Castle," he immediately responded as she rolled her eyes at his protest.
"The location of our place," she said quickly as his eyebrows rose in confusion. "The swings, it's our place and no one else really knows about it," she explained before kissing him, moaning when he pulled away from her. "Castle," she muttered in annoyance.
"Katherine Houghton Castle there are extremely sexy pictures of you in sexy lingerie on the laptop," he squealed in excitement as she rolled her eyes at him before turning around to see the images he was flicking through. "Red lingerie is really sexy on you Detective, I love this top secret file," he declared as she rolled her eyes and climbed off his lap before walking towards the door, deciding to leave her over-excited husband alone.
"I'm going to make something to drink," Kate stated before walking out of the room, a laugh leaving her lips however when she heard her husband shout.
"Kate there's a video," he hollered in excitement as she rolled her eyes and began to walk towards the kitchen. "Kate you're taking your clothes off! You're doing a sexy dance and taking your clothes off on camera and it's really sexy," he shouted as she smiled to herself.
Oh she'd made her husband extremely happy!
