Okay I really couldn't sleep, cause my muse didn't leave me alone. so I finished the second chapter too. It's really fluffy at the end, maybe I'll change it. because while I was writing the end I became kind of tired ( in Belgium it's 4:25 am so) Enjoy part 2
disclaimer: I don't own Castle, much to my regrets :) but I guess Little Emma is my own creation.
Chapter 2
"We need to get her in the car. Common you guys help me for a sec." Castle said while he laid down a blanket on the back seat of the car. When he was done Ryan and Esposito lifted Kate up and placed her in the car. The men sat in the front, while Castle sat in the back in a way that Kate could rest her head on Castle's legs. She grabbed his hand and squeezed very hard. 'I'll make sure you feel my pain, Richard Castle' she thought to herself. Castle's hand turned red, and his face turned white cause of the pain.
"Wow Kate, you're strong!"
He said to her, subtly telling her she was hurting him without letting the guys know. But she didn't stop, in fact she squeezed even harder. "Apples, apples!" Castle screamed. The contraction fainted away and she loosened her grip, smiling at the use of Castle's safe word. It remembered her of the very first time they've met.
"How are you doing KB?" Esposito asked while driving. "Ow, just shut up and drive Javi!"
The contractions followed up in less than two minutes apart, Kate didn't have time to breath and felt the urge to push. Castle realized she was right when she said they weren't going to make it to the hospital. "Just breathe Beckett, don't push, whatever you do, don't push yet!" Castle used her last name because he had found out that it had a better effect when he told her to do something.
Ryan recognized the surroundings and knew that the morgue wasn't far from here. He knew Kate would hate giving birth there, but they weren't going to make it to the hospital, and at least Lanie had medical training.
"Espo go left here. We're going to Lanie, the hospital is way too far."
He said. Esposito just nodded and turned left. As expected Kate protested, Castle tried to calm her down. "Babe, Lanie is a doctor, she knows what to do." " I know that but she works with bodies, dead bodies!" " Katherine Beckett she's your best friend, and she's the closest thing to the hospital we have so we're going."
When they arrived at the morgue, Lanie was already waiting with a stretcher. "Hey girl, don't worry, you'll be fine." Lanie said seeing the panic in Kate's eyes. "Let's get her inside." She ordered. They put her on an autopsy table.
Okay, I know you aren't going to like this, but I have to check how far along you are. But first …" She saw Castle's Esposito and Ryan's faces turning practically green. "You guys get out! You're not gonna throw up while she's giving birth! Castle not you dumbass!" as she saw Castle leaving with the boys.
"Right, sorry." Kate wanted to shoot him ' Too bad I don't have my gun' she thought.
"Uhm Katie, I think you have to push with the next contraction, c…" "You think?" Kate freaked out. "No I'm pretty sure, I said that cause I can feel the head stupid! You never let me finish my sentences."
"Okay you have to push very hard with the next contraction. I have a feeling you little bundle of joy is going to be here very soon. When you're ready, hold in your breath and put your chin on your chest and push. Castle go and sit behind her. She'll need support at the back."
And carefully listening to Lanie's words, Kat did exactly what she said. " God this hurts!" she said, while she was pushing, again squeezing Castle's hand. "You're absolutely right, babe." Castle said. " SHUT UP CASTLE!" both women yelled.
The contraction was over, Kate breathed very fast knowing she wouldn't have a lot of time. "Girl, I can already see the baby's head. It's going to have gorgeous thick black hair!" right at that moment Kate started to push again. Very hard, determined to get this baby out as fast as possible.
"I hate you, Castle! What have you done to me? I gonna shoot you when all of this is over!" Castle just ignored what she was saying cause he knew she didn't mean it. It was just the heat of the moment. ' Hey maybe I can use this for in my new book. I could call it Heat of The Moment.' He thought to himself, with a wide grin. "Castle!" Kate snapped him out of his thoughts. "What? Oh hey" he smiled towards Kate as she her face turned to him" I thought you were in shock or something! I was saying that I don't really hate you. You know that right?" Of course I do hon."
"The head is out, you guys! One more push for the shoulders and you guys can finally hold this long awaited baby." Kate felt relieved. And Castle, hyper as he was " I got to take a picture of this!"
"Richard Castle! Don't you dare or I will shoot you and this time I mean it!" Kate stopped him. " That's kinda gross, writer boy." " Yeah you're riiiiiiiiii" and again Kate squeezed his hand. She squeezed so hard that you could hear his bones crack.
"Welcome little girl!" Lanie smiled while she looked the newest addition to the Castle family. The beautiful newborn filled her little lungs with air and cried so loud that Esposito and Ryan couldn't help it and came in.
Kate smiled and cried looking at this little wonder she and Castle had made. Lanie put the little, crying and wiggling baby on Kate's chest and handed the scissors over to Castle. Not caring about the blood and slime covering the little girl, Kate kissed her little chubby cheeks.
"Hey sweetie, its mommy. I love you so much!" the infant immediately stopped crying hearing her mother's voice. She opened her little eyes and Kate could see these were the same precious eyes she was used to wake up to in the morning.
Castle took his phone out of his pocket and snapped this lovely image he would never forget. This image was one of the most beautiful he had ever seen, his gorgeous wife looking totally in love with his lovely second daughter. He send the picture to Alexis, with the text:
'Congrats Lex, you're little sister has announced herself into this world a moment ago. She can't wait to see you. Love daddy.'
Castle went over to his wife, kissed her a lot and congratulated her. Kate did the same. Ryan was fast, like a sniper and shot the picture of the new parents kissing with the little on in the middle. He was sure this was going to be their favorite.
"Hold her Castle, I bet she can't wait to meet her daddy." Kate said with a smile.
"Hey there honey. You don't know me yet but I'm your dad. And for you I will do anything." He kissed her on her mouth. The little one stared at him with big eyes. And Castle gave her back to her mom with the biggest grin ever.
His phone let him know he had a text. He thought it was Alexis but instead it was Ryan. He had send him two pictures. One of them the family picture the other one was one of him and the newborn together.
" Thanks Ryan." He said.
"Hon, I already examined you and you're absolutely fine. Now I'm just going to see if everything is alright with her, okay? Nothing to worry about just a little checkup." "Okay Lanie."
Lanie whipped of the little one, and gave her a kiss. " Hey baby girl, I'm you aunt Lanie" " Make that Godmother" Castle said, Kate agreed and nodded her head? " Really? You guys thank you. You're fine, aren't you honey? Yes you are, yes you are!" and saying that she gave her back to Kate.
" Javi, Kevin, I want you guys to be the Godfathers." They both answered "of course we're honored to Beckett!"
"I don't want to spoil the party but what's her name?" Lanie said in a nosy way.
"It's Emma, Emma Johanna Castle." Kate said with a huge smile.
