"ROSARY! KALIQU! SAMANTHA! WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?" Katherine Castle yelled up the stairs of her New York loft. The girls ran down the stairs, Rosie on the heels of her older sister. Sam was now six and the twins were almost four. Both Rick and Kate were starting to get worried that what Sam went through was starting to get to her. Lately she would wake up in the middle of the night, screaming, but she couldn't remember what cause it.
"Keleb did it mommy! he broke his lamp!" Rosie exclaimed after finishing her descend of the stairs.
"KELEB!" Kate called back up the stairs from her perch at the kitchen counter. As Keleb came down the stairs, the door bell rang. Kate sighed and walked to the door, opening it to find no one. She looked down the hall, twice, before going to close the door. That's when she heard a small whimper. She looked down to see want caused the sound. Resting in a a wicker basket, was the moat beautiful African American baby Kate had ever seen. Bending down, she picked up the baby and smiled. Judging by how small the baby was, it wasn't that old. Kate laid the baby back down then picked up the basket and walked back to the living room. She placed the basket on the table and the picked up the baby, thats when she saw the note. Kate laid the baby with its head resting on her right shoulder, being held up with her left arm. Kate took her right hand and picked up the note. She laid the baby back down and started to read the note.
Dear Castle's,
you don't know me, but i know you. This is my daughter, her name is Dalia. I can't take care off her so, please take care of her for me.
Kate put the note down and looked at the little girl. Dalia opened her eyes and smiled up at Kate. Dalia reached her arms up to the woman. Kate picked up the baby and noticed that the baby had blue eyes. Just then the front door opened and her husband walked in. Rick put his gun and badge next to his wife's before walking over to her. Kate put Dalia back down and sighed. "Umm, Kate? What's with the baby?"
"Someone left her at the door," Kate told her husband as she walked back into the kitchen to resume making dinner. Rick came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He started to leave a trail of kissing down her neck. That's when they heard three sets of giggles coming from the other room. Kate looked up to see them standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Why don't you three go clean up Keleb's lamp up?"
"Because its funnier to stay down here," Sam told her mother, smiling that Castle cocky smile.
"Upstairs, Now!" Kate told her kids, pointing at the stairs. The three of rolled their eyes, just like Kate, and walked back up the stairs. Kate smiled and turned around in her husband's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Rick smiled back at her before dipping his head down to kiss her. Kate felt his tongue slid across her bottom lip and smiled when she let him in. Both of them pulled away when they could no longer breathe. Just they both of them heard a cry from the table. Rick reluctantly let go of his wife and walked over to the infant. He picked her up and walked over to Kate.
"So what are we going to do with this little angel?" Rick asked, cradling Delia so she would stop crying. Kate looked up at him.
"I think we should keep her."
