Here it was, the day I had been dreading, Saturday, the day we were going to tell our parents and Alexis. I hadn't got much sleep last night and I think castle noticed my constant tossing and turning. I must have been driving him insane. At one point after I had been tossing and turning for about an hour he just pulled me close. We spoke for a little while before I finally drifted off to sleep. It was now lunchtime and castle had begun preparing the last little bits ready for tonight's dinner. It smelt amazing! I was sat at the counter watching him move elegantly across the kitchen in his jeans. His abs flexing when he picked things up. Why did he have to cook without his shirt on! He knows it turns me on! But we haven't got time to play our parents would be round in a few hours and the loft wasn't the tidiest place. I slide off the stool slowly and went to hugs my husband from behind whispering into his ear "we need to tidy up you nearly done here?" At that moment he wiped his hands on his trousers before spinning around and pulling me in for a hug. I could stay like this all day (amongst other positions) but we had to tidy up and get ready.

Hours flew by and before we knew it, it was 6 o'clock! Our parents were going to arrive any minute and I wasn't fully dressed. I still couldn't decide on a top to wear. I wasn't showing much. Well I could see I was beginning to get a baby bump but nobody else could. I even asked Rick what he thought. That conversation didn't go well." Rick? Babe? do I look fat to you?" "Kate! You will never be fat! You are beautiful and pregnant. It's not fat babe. I know what you meant though. No you are not showing." He came and hugged me before pushing me back onto the bed. Knock Knock!

"Urgh are parents have impeccable timing. You get your top on and I will go and answer the door." Rick said before kissing me one last time and leaving the room. I couldn't help but watch he walk away. When he was completely out of sight I stood back up and continued looking in the mirror whilst putting a top on. Smoothing it down I walked out of our room to see Martha and alexis hugging Rick. I walked over and greeted them both with the usual before guiding them into the room. I knew Rick was watching so I put a little more sway in my hips to say 'look what you could be having!' Rick handed. Everyone drinks and we were sat chatting before my dad came. "So Katherine how come your not drinking tonight?" I knew the question would come up at some point during the evening so I already had an answer prepared. "I'm on call tonight so I can't have a drink incase they need me. We are halfway through a case and the boys can't always manage." I said with my famous eye roll. Luckily there were no more time for questions because my dad showed up. I wasn't that nervous until we sat down to eat. All the time I could feel my stomach flipping. As much as I wanted to get it over with I didn't. But I knew I had to. I waited until everyone had finished ricks amazing roast dinner before I looked at Rick to see if he was ready. He cleared his throat before taking my hand and beginning " We haven't just invited you round to have dinner we have something to tell you" he paused thinking how he should say it but didn't carry on quick enough so his mother had some time to input "your not getting a divorce are you?" Martha asked jokingly but it still made my dad sit bolt upright and glare at Rick. That is when I knew I had to jump in. "No no we're not. It's good news. I'm.. Were..." "Expecting a baby!" Me and Rick said in unison. Martha and Alexis stood up immediately and walked towards us hugging Rick first then me. We stood up to welcome their congratulations but I couldn't help but look at my dad who sat emotionless at the table staring at one point. A tear slipped out of his eyes then two and three. I couldn't tell whether he was upset or whether they were happy tears. I walked towards him and crouched down turning him to face me. "Dad?" I looked into his eyes for a brief moment but still couldn't read his emotion. Suddenly he flung his arms around me pulled me close the stood us both up, which I was very grateful for because it was hurting being down there for that long. "Katie your mum would be so proud of you!" He said putting me back down before kissing my head. "Thanks dad I said before turning around to the rest of my family. Soon this family of four will become a family of five and I couldn't be happier about it!

Me,Martha and Alexis cleared the table whilst my dad and Rick went into Ricks study. I'm assuming they were talking about me because they closed the door. I would mention it to Rick later but right now Alexis was asking me questions and I could see Martha had a lot to ask. After we finished loading the dishwasher we went and sat on the sofa to talk. My dad an Rick were still in the office talking so it give us abit of time to talk about how things were. Alexis had just gotten a new boyfriend at college and would like me to meet him and Martha had just got a new set of students arrive at her drama studio. Things were going well for the castle family and I couldn't be happier!
