“Kaaaaaaaaaaate!” he shouted, as the door slammed shut after him. He knew that Detective Beckett had had a though case, but he had to sit out on this one, because he had special preperations to make, which he couldn’t do while his girlfriend of almost one year was at home. So he had told her, that he had a deadline to make for his new manuscript and that he had to stay at home today.
What he didn’t expect was his girlfriend bent over the toilet, throwing up, as he came to search the loft for her, when he didn’t directly get an answer from her. Immediately falling to his knees beside her, his hands found her hair, holding it back for her, his other hand rubbing her back comfortingly.
When she had finished emptying her stomach, he helped her up to her legs, and reached for a towel, wiping her face tenderly, leaving a trail of kisses on her cheeks, whispering comforting words into her ear.
“What’s wrong, love?” he asked her, after having guided her to their bed, helping her lie down, and tucking her in, cuddling her from behind. “Castle…Rick…please don’t get mad.” Beckett begged, burrying her head deeper into the pillow. “Love, you can tell me, I won’t get mad, I promise!” he knew he could promise her this, because he simply couldn’t get mad at the one person he loved more than anything in the world besides Alexis. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with the woman in his arms, the ring in his pocket proving his intentions. “Please…honey…Kate, look at me!” Slowly Kate turned around in his arms, still refusing to meet his eyes though. Castle’s hand found “I…I…can’t” Beckett stuttered, finally meeting his eyes, more tears coming to her own.
That was the moment Castle knew that this was the right moment for him alter his plans a little and to act on them. His hand reached into his pocket, fumbling for the ring, but not actually taking it out already. “Kate, no matter what it is, I prmise you to be there for you and to get through it with you together. And this promise doen’t just stand for this particular moment but… Kate, I love you! And I hereby promise you to always love you and be there for you, no matter what! Will you do me the honour of agreeing to marry me?” With the last sentence he produced the sparkling diamond ring from his pocket, ganzing lovingly into her eyes.
Kate’s mouth had fallen open out of surprise and shock, her lips curving into a tiny smile, as she sputtered out “Rick, I’m pregnant!”
Castle’s Eyes grew as wide as saucers and his heart began beating faster out of excitement. His lips forming a beautiful smile, capturing his favourite detective’s ones in a loving kiss.
The moment Kate told him yes and he could slide the ring onto her finger, he knew that they would be alright, no matter what. He knew that it would take Kate a while to fully get comfortable with the thought of becoming a mother but as long as he was there to help her through this time, he knew she would be just as happy as he was right now.
Smiling at each other, their lips met in another gentle kiss, both of them pouring everything they were feeling and all their promises of forver into this kiss.
