A/N: I've been watching a lot of Jane the virgin recently which gave me the idea for this story.

Disclaimer : Castle is not mine

She had been inseminated. You've got to be freaking kidding me she thought. It was a normal Wednesday followed by what was meant to be a normal check up with her gynecologist. She sat in the waiting room flicking through a magazine she bought as she was just not interested in flicking through a magazine about babies. Yes she was a 29 year old woman but her biological clock was most certainly not ticking. She sat there quietly and was reading a story about Castle in the magazine. Of course he was in the magazine with some blonde trailing not far behind sight of the picture made her frown and roll her eyes. The door opened and a nurse called her name and Kate quickly stood up and followed her where she quickly changed out of her clothes and laid down on the table. Dr Fernandez walked in and promptly sat down in the seat in front of Kate. Dr Fernandez was a quiet 70 something women and she often didn't speak much during their appointments. Suddenly Kate felt a warm sensation and then nothing and that's when Dr Fernandez left the room with the instruction to say sat with her legs in then air for 5 minutes. She thought it as odd of course but who was she to argue with a doctor so she done as she was instructed. Kate had just stood up and was about to start getting dressed again when the Nurse and doctor came rushing back with wide panicked eyes.

That was the cause of her headache this morning as she sat at her desk after her doctors only did she have a headache, she was stressed and every now and then a stray tear would run down her cheeks. She didn't know what to do. What if she was pregnant? What was she going to do? That's when Castle walked in during Beckett's internal struggle. He sat down in his seat next to her desk and placed her coffee and bear claw in front of her. When she made no more towards her coffee, even he knew that was strange for Kate, he sat a bit more forward towards her.

"Kate are you okay?" He asked concern was written all over his face.

It was times like this Kate wished she still had her long her, the slightest tip of her head forward and her hair would be covering her face and she could hide her emotions and she could hide from Castles almost fatherly stare. It hurt when someone looked at her like this, she wasn't close to Castle but the way he was looking at her made her want to tell him all about her day but it was just too crazy for even her to talk about right now. So she turned her head and gave him a small smile with tearful eyes. She just wanted some peace and quiet and was even considering asking her captain if she could have the rest of the day off but she was determined not to even though it felt like her whole world was crumbling around her. It was times like this she wished her mother was still here and that thought alone bought more tears to her eyes.

She wouldn't know for a couple of weeks whether she was or wasn't pregnant and it was going to be the most stressful weeks of her life.

Beckett suddenly stood up and headed towards the break room where she was aiming for the vending machine for a bottle of water. Of course Castle was following close behind. He closed the door behind him when they entered the break room and he stood there, his arms crossed but his eyes kind. He looked both authoritative but also understanding. She couldn't help it when she turned towards him and the tears kept falling and she released a small sob, wrapping her arms around her self and slumping slightly forward. That's all it took for Castle to to take 3 large strides towards her and wrap her in his large embrace. She held tightly on to him, her face in the crook between his shoulder and neck. Castle gently rubbed her back whilst whispering words of reassurance in her hair.

"I just want to go home Castle" She whimpered into his shoulder and he nodded.

"I'll go talk to the Captain quickly and you sit here for a couple of minutes and I'll be right back, okay?" He asked. When he got a confirming nod in return he practically ran to the captains office. He was back within a matter of minutes with her coat and purse handing them to her. Once she took them he put his arm around her waist as she rested her head of his shoulder. His heart was breaking for her, she looked like she had just given up on everything. She just looked so sad. As they walked into the elevator she tilted her body more towards his where she was finding more and more comfort. For the first time today she didn't have any thoughts running around in her head, she felt calm but most importantly she felt safe.

When the elevator reached the garage he showed her towards his car and put her in the passenger seat. She rested her head against the window as Castle drove through the city. She focused on the coolness of the window and only that as she watched the city move by in a blur. It was only when they pulled up outside of his loft that she realized where they were. She turned to his with confused eyes.

"I have a fridge full of ice cream, a DVD collection that's amazing and I honestly think until you're ready to talk about it that simply doing nothing will help until then." He turned his whole body so he was facing her.

"Okay. Thank you Castle." She whispered.

And so together, they both made their way up to the loft, their friendship changing forever.
