Castle was awakened from his first deep sleep in months to crying, no wailing. Kate moaned next to him. She was so exhausted. throwing the cover off he got out of bed to see what was wrong. The baby's room was a Winnie the poo theme and dimly lit by a poo bear night light. Walking over to the crib he gently lifted the crying baby. "Heyyy, you're ok daddy's here." He said holding her close to his bare chest bouncing her slightly but it was unsuccessful. "Shhhhhhh mommy's trying to sleep baby girl." He said finally sitting in the rocker and slowly rocking her.

Tears ran down her face from crying so hard and Rick wiped them away with her blanket.

"There's no need to cry, is there? nope, not at all." He lifted her up closer and kissed her forehead.

He continued to rock with her as she slowly but surly calmed down. Even as the crying stopped he couldn't bear to let her go, sliding his pinky to her small hand she slowly wrapped her fingers around it tightly as she fell into deeper sleep and Rick drifted off with her.
