Disclaimer: I wish I owned Castle. *sigh * not yet.
A/N: one shot anyone? may continue but wouldn't be a start to finish type of thing. probably one shots from the kids' lives. anyone interested?
"Castle..." She groans frustrated.
He's stares at her. Devouring every inch of her with his piercing blue eyes. His electric blues eyes filled with so much love. Passion. Heart. Usually it makes her giddy. This morning it's bothering her.
"Kate, you are so breathtakingly beautiful. I love you. Every inch of you." He walks slowly to his wife. Standing in front of the closet in her undergarments, she sighs.
"Castle. I'm only three months along. It shouldn't be so hard to find a shirt that doesn't give it away so easily." He slowly settles his hand on her stomach. His eyes glitter with joy.
"Maybe we should call Gates and take the day off. She's the last one to tell." He had been worried about her job, how dangerous it could be. She looks up at him. Her breath hitching in her throat as she sees his eyes. His eyes that showcase every emotion. She doesn't mind who their babies will look like. But she hopes that they will inherit their father's gorgeous blue eyes. The eyes that pop with joy every time they talk about the twins. The eyes that showcase all his love for her. The unwavering power of his love. The eyes that worry when she is sick. The eyes that are staring at her right now. Questioningly.
She's been quiet for too long. He's unaware of what's going through her brain. He speaks slowly, "Beckett? Not regretting this right? It's a little late now but... you want this with me right?"
She blinks and one small tear rolls down her cheek. He holds her in his arms. Comforting her as she begins to sob uncontrollably.
"Castle... what if... what if I... can't do this? Wha... what if... I am a terrible mom?" She's bawling now but he slowly takes her hand and leads her sit down on the bed. He sits down and pulls her onto his lap. He kisses her cheeks, her nose, and finally her mouth.
"Kate. You are going to be a great mommy. I promise. Our kids are going to love you. I love you. Now, I have something for you." He shifts her onto the bed and stands up. Walking through the door way he turns, "I'll be right back."
He returned a few minutes later with something behind his back.
"Seriously Castle, I'm not in the mood to mess around." He noticed she had found something to wear and smiled at his success in distracting her.
"Kate... close your eyes. It'll be so much better if you do." She reluctantly let her eyes shut and Rick slowly pulled out the two small green outfits from behind his back.
"Alright. You can look now." Kate opened her eyes to see two mint green onesies in front of her. Her smile grew as she read them.
"My mommy's the best detective out there" had been put on the first complete with a badge decorating the pocket. The second made her laugh.
"Being a good writer like daddy is 3% talent, 97% being distracted by the Internet." She felt tears pushing at her eyelids as she reached up, grabbed the front of his shirt, and pulled him into a kiss.
"Our kids are have the best father ever."
"I figured these could be their going home outfits! I got dark blue jeans for each and a pair of red converse for Baby A and navy converse for Baby B!" Kate giggled at his excitement and observed his happy sapphire eyes.
"I love you, Richard Edgar Alexander Rodgers Castle."
"And I love you Katherine Houghton Castle. Now, are you ready for work?"
"Can't we just stay home and sleep all day?"
"Uh uh. Today's the day we tell Gates. Today's the day I can quit worrying about that pretty little head of yours AND our twins. Let's go Beckett!" Reaching down he tilted her chin up and slowly kissed her. Threading his fingers through hers they finally left the loft and began their trek to the precinct.
