More than Expected

Part 55

June 28, 2014
      She feels like unpacking is a year long process. They emptied their boxes a few days ago, and since then it has been mainly organizing and finding places for everything along with cleaning. Along with cleaning and organizing, the couple has been trying to plan as much of their wedding as possible before Rick leaves on deployment. Right now, there in the kitchen putting groceries away while Royce naps in his new room. "What do you think our colors should be?" She asks him. "Babe, I love you." He says as he wraps his arms around her waist.
      "But you don't care about the color scheme, I know." She finishes his thought. He chuckles and leans down to kiss her cheek. "You do whatever you want to do. Just tell me where to be and when so I can put a ring on your finger and make you my wife." He says. "You already put an incredible ring on my finger." She said as she wiggles her ring finger. He grasps her hand and looks down at the ring, "It's never looked better than it does on your finger." He tells her. She smiles and pulls him down for a kiss.
      "How much longer do you think Royce will sleep for?" He asks in between kisses. "Mmm. Probably 30 minutes." She answers. He smacks her ass with both of his hands before lifting her so she'll wrap her legs around his waist. She chuckles as he walks them towards their bedroom, "Just enough time for me to have some Mommy time." He whispers as he lays her down on the bed and begins kissing down her neck. As he travels down her body, she can't help but think of how lucky she is that this is her life.
       45 minutes later, they're snuggled in bed shocked that Royce is still asleep. She's laying on his chest with her fingers tracing patterns along his collarbone while he periodically presses kisses to her forehead. "What about champagne?" Kate asks. "I don't really like the taste of champagne." He answers. She rolls her eyes and pokes his chest, "The color, dumbass. For the wedding." She says, "Oh, that champagne. Yeah, I think that'd be nice with the green of spring." Rick says. "Do we want an outdoor or inside wedding?" "Well, with an outdoor there's the risk of rain." He says.
      "Yeah, but it'll be so pretty." She says, "So find an outdoor venue with an indoor reception venue." He insists. She looks up at him and rests her chin on his chest, "I can't wait to be your wife." She says. Both of his hands run through her hair before resting on her cheeks, "I can't wait to be your husband, Mrs. Castle-to-be." He says. She giggles and leans up to kiss him. Over the baby monitor, they hear Royce begin to cry. "I'll go get him." Rick says. He crawls out of bed and slips on sweatpants.
      When he reenters the room, he has their eight month old in his arms. He's dressed in a grey and white striped footie and has a binkie in his mouth. His eyes officially transitioned to Hazel just like Kate's and his curls are unruly just like hers as well. "Hi sweet boy." She coos as Rick passes him to her. She kisses his chubby cheeks. Royce grunts and slaps at her chest. "Are you trying to tell me something, mister?" She asks him rhetorically. She lays down and lowers the sheet before he latched on. "You amaze me." Rick whispers.
      Kate looks at him and smiles, "I still can't believe we made him." She says, "I know. How would you feel about making another one?" He asks. She looks at him with wide eyes, "Right now?" She asks, "Not now, but soon." "How soon is soon?" "Maybe after the wedding?" "I'll think about it." She promises him. He nods and kisses her forehead, "I'm gonna go make dinner." He says. Once he leaves the room, she looks down at their nursing son. Maybe one more wouldn't be so bad.
