Always.

Twenty-Seven.

Im a terrible fucktard ignore this please

I laughed again, getting up, pulling him with me. "Come on." I said, giggling, and slapping his ass to give him a kick-start.

*later that day after work*

"That was... amazing." Castle said through heavy breathing.

"Yeah." I said, with even more stress.

"I didn't even notice that you were pregnant." I just smiled at him. I wasn't huge, just way bigger than if I wasn't pregnant.

"Thanks." I flopped down on my pillow. I was exhausted.

A few minutes later, after we regained our breath, Castle spoke up.

"You know, you're starting your maternity leave next week."

"Yeah..." I said. I felt like I had missed too much work lately. The past two or three months, I had been at home more days than at work. That's a first.

"What do you suppose we should so do... so you don't get bored?"

"Hmm... that's a good question." I said smiling. "I'm sure we will figure something out."

He just smiled, and after we kissed, he spoke up again.

"Hm, but, seriously. We should get you prepared."

"Well, they have special classes for that. We could take one together, if you want?"

"That sounds fun. Just hope it doesn't take up too much time..."

"Well, just incase..." I said, as I leaned towards him. "We should take advantage of the time we have now."

"That sounds like a good idea..." He said as he flipped on top of me, careful of my belly, as always. And, with that, as you can infer, we went for a round two. And three. And six.

*morning after*

"Morning, beautiful!" I smiled as I opened my eyes, and saw Castle standing over me with two coffees.

"Hey."

"You had quite the night last night, didn't you? Up till all hours... Tsk tsk."

"Hey, you weren't too sleepy yourself, now were you?" I said, giggling.

"Come on." He said as he handed me my coffee, and sat on the bed next to me, opening his laptop. "I actually started researching those coaching classes..."

"Ugh, already, Castle?" I groaned, as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Well, you could always... convince me to do something else," I cut him off as I noticed something on the open browser.

"Hey, what's that?" I asked, pointing to a tab.

"Oh, uh, it's nothing."

"Come on. It has to be something." I prodded. "If it's porn, just tell me, and I'll back off. But scream at you later when the rage comes." I said, all giggly again. He still had me in a good mood.

"It's not porn." He said, kinda grumpily, which startled me. He closed his laptop.

"Well, then, what is it?"

"It's, it's uhh..." now I really needed to know what it was.

"Rick!" I usually called him Castle still, and that got him.

"Oh, alright. I give up!" He kind of yelled, which made me lean back. He didn't usually yell. He saw me do that, and came and cuddled to me, and started speaking softer.

"I'm sorry, I, I just wanted to keep it a surprise."

"Oh." I said. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"Ah, it's okay." He said, rubbing my shoulder, still trying to apologize. "Well, now that you know, do you want to see what it is?"

"No. I like it when you surprise me." I said, smiling, and kissing him.

"Good." He said, smiling and kissing back too.
