I've decide to start doing a series of Castle flashfics from 3-5 words prompts that I receive, and this will be the for all of the love and support.

Mini Iron Castle

"Guys, I'd like you to meet the newest members of our family, Emma-Lane Victoria Beckett-Castle at 5 pounds even, and Ellery Johanna Beckett-Castle at 5 pounds and seven ounces.

"That's a mouthful," cracked Espo. But the writer just laughed.

But what surprised Castle, was that when he announced her name, Captain Gates smiled and held back tears.

"Mr. Castle, I'd be honored!" She exclaimed, totally unlike herself. He laughed.

"Yes Captain Gates, but call me Rick, at least at home. You have made such a difference in Kate's life since Montgomery, that you hold a special place in our hearts. Kate and I want you to be Emmy and Ellery's God Grammy, And you Lanie, their Godmother. Before me, you were Kate's light. You held her up, made sure she didn't fall, and loved her, until I could. Thank you, everybody. You guys are amazing." He finished with tears in his eyes.

Castle beamed, as he presented his daughters to the whole precinct gang. In the middle of his living room, no less. Kate, warrior that she was, decided to go all natural, at home. Despite the risks that a twin birth could have. They just had to watch for breathing, and to immediately take action if they wouldn't eat. But the couple was beyond ready. After a few minutes of passing the twins around, Castle took them back into the room where Kate lay on the bed, her eyes closed. And lay down beside her, a baby on either arm. He marveled at their perfect skin, and the perfects crescents that their eyelashes formed, completely mesmerized, and so grateful.

"We did it, Rick. We're a family." Kate said, gazing at her newborn daughter's in her arms. Her eyes filled with tears.

"We were already a family, Kate. But Emmy and Ellery made us whole." He said, his voice cracking. His baby daughter's were so beautiful, with dark brown hair, and deep blue eyes just like Kate. "God, I am the luckiest man in the world." He gushed, tears gathering in his eyes, and rolling down his cheeks. Emmy yawned in her sleep and Ellery grabbed her sisters finger.

Wow, what a year. Heartbreak, hardships, marriage, twins. I love my family. Was the last thought that went through Rick's mind before let it drift away, and settled in with his wife, and daughters. His little family.
