A/N Soo this is my first time writing fanfiction so please be kind. This is basically me at 10:00 procrastinating instead of studying for my italian exam i have tomorrow. This will probably just be a one shot since its my first (and possibly only) fic.

Yeah I don't own castle, wish i did, but no.

All mistakes are mine

The early morning light seeping through the blinds was what awoke Kate from the wonderful dream she was having. She rolled onto her side to look at her sleeping husband, his face buried into the pillow, hair all messed. She loved how he looked when he slept; he looked adorable, like a child. Child. Her mind drifted back to the dream she was woken from, her sitting on the beach at their house in the Hamptons, watching on in awe as Rick played in the water with their little boy. Rick chasing the boy around, throwing him over his shoulder into the water while Kate yelled for them to be careful.

Kate smiled at the memory of her dream. A dream that would soon become a reality. She still couldn't believe she was pregnant. Remembering how scared she was sitting on their bathroom floor waiting for a result from the test. When she finally saw the result, a little blue plus sign, pregnant, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Simultaneously relieved, overjoyed and scared. Once she told Castle though, she only felt joy.

"Kate?" He called into the loft as he shucked off his coat and put it in the closet. No answer. He thought it seemed unusual for her to not be running into his arms the second he walked through the door. Two weeks, two weeks he'd been gone on a spur of the moment book tour that was deemed necessary by Gina. Neither Castle nor Kate wanted him to go, but he had too, Gina was threatening his career, saying he hadn't done nearly enough promotion for his newest book.

"Kate?" he called again as he entered their bedroom, empty. As he turned to leave he noticed the light coming from the bathroom. That was where he found her, sitting on the floor, back against the bath, tears welling in her eyes. He stood there watching her, she had yet to acknowledge him; she seemed to be in some sort of a trance.

As he moved to sit beside her she lifted her head, surprise written all over her face. "You're back," she smiled and leaned into his embrace, resting her head on his shoulder, breathing him in.

He stroked her back comfortingly, just holding her. After a few minutes past he spoke up. "Everything okay?" he pulled back to look at her as she slowly nodded her head.

She lifted her eyes to meet his, after a second her face broke out into a grin. "More than," she reached over to the bench top to grab the test, bringing it back she held it in front of herself for him to see. She watched his face as he looked down to her hand holding the test, it took a moment for it to register in his head, but she saw the second he realized.

Looking up at her with shining eyes and his 1000 watt smile, he hugged her tight to his chest as he smiled into her shoulder and she did the same. "We're having a baby," he breathed out against her skin.

"We're having a baby," she confirmed, still not fully believing it herself yet.

They stayed that way for what seemed like hours before they finally moved. They stood together and walked into the bedroom to sit on the bed. Castle with his back against the headboard, Kate curled into his side. She looked into his eyes to see how truly happy he was. Neither of them had voiced their joy, it hadn't fully sunk in, but it was there, in both their eyes. His filled with joy and excitement, hers with unshed tears and love.

They stayed that way until they drifted off to sleep, the last thing Kate heard before slumber took over, was a quiet whisper from her husband against her hair. "You'll be an amazing Mom, your mother would be so proud, I love you."

She smiled to herself as she reached out to run a finger against the lines on his forehead. His brow was furrowed, looking deep in thought, concentrating on something he was dreaming of. She leaned down to press a soft kiss to his temple.

He shifted, rolled slightly to the side, slowly twitching one eye open to look up at Kate. "Hmm Kate, s'early," he managed to open his eye wider to see the look on her face. "Whassa matt'r?"

She giggled and smiled. His slurred speech adding to his adorableness, something she hopes their baby will inherit from him. "Just thinking," She replied after a moment.

He rolled a bit more so he could face her. "'Bout baby?" he mumbled.

"Yeah about the baby. I'm just so happy, I never thought I'd be here Castle, and never thought I'd be this happy. It's all thanks to you," she told him lovingly, running her fingers through his hair.

He smiled up at her then leaned down so his head was above her stomach. He rubbed his hand along her tummy before gently whispering, "Hey baby, it's your daddy. Your mommy is extraordinary so I have no doubts you will be too, I can't wait for you to be here, so I can hold you close and tell you I love you all the time, just like I tell Mommy. I love you so much baby," he finished by placing a soft kiss to her tummy then leaned up to press his forehead against Kate's.

He looked into her eyes. "I love you Kate"

She smiled at him. "Love you too Rick, Always"

So love it? Hate it? Continue? Never write again?

Lemme know :) Cheers
