Disclaimer: I still don't own them. But it would be totally cool if I did right?
Note: This was going to be a oneshot ending in Castle's office. Then it continued into the kitchen. Then like 6 of you put this story on story alert. I don't do chapters. I do unrelated drabbles. You can look. My only "multi-chapter" fic for Bones is 3 drabbles. :/ Anyway, coming back to this fandom. I'm going to break my own rule for me being ADD, and make this chapter actually related to the first. Iknowright? Same rules apply as before, if it sucks I apologize.
Castle lay in the bed watching his wife sleep. She was snuggled up to his side with an arm thrown haphazardly across his torso. He gave her a lazy smile and tangled his hand in her hair. Castle closed his eyes and started to doze off next to her when "The Murder Line" rang. He groaned as he reached for Kate's cell phone. He couldn't reach it without waking her.
"Kate..." he tried to pull his arm out from under her, "Come on, wake up."
She groaned and rolled closer, "Donwanna."
"Your phone is ringing."
She opened one eye and glared with it. She rolled toward her phone and took all of the sheets with her, "Beckett."
"Took you long enough, girl."
"Lanie?" Kate glanced over at the clock, "I swear to God you better be having that baby right now."
"Good thing you don't have to finish that threat. Javier is taking me to the hospital now."
Kate let out a little squeal, "We'll be there soon!" She hung up the phone and sat up, "Come on, shower time."
"Time to go meet our niece?"
"She just went into labor," Kate got up and headed for the bathroom. "Quit staring at my ass."
"How do you..." he shook his head and got up to follow her.
"I know you," she turned on the water and stepped inside to clean up.
He followed her in, "As creepy as you think it is when I watch you, it's even creepier when you know what I'm doing without looking at me."
"Turnabout," she reached past him for her shampoo.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," He quickly cleaned up and let her finish showering.
Thirty minutes later they were pulling into a parking space at the hospital, "You just passed like ten spots closer than this one."
"If you don't quit whining, I will take you right back home and go see Lanie without you," She cut the ignition, and looked at him.
"Why do I let you boss me around?"
"You like it," she grinned and then turned her attention to her seatbelt. After unclipping it she turned to get the door, but found it already sitting open.
Castle offered her his hand, "Yes, I do like it."
She grinned and accepted his hand, "Thank you."
He laced his fingers with hers and all but dragged her up to the maternity ward. In the short time it took them to walk up there Rick decided that before the week was out he was going to get his wife pregnant. They met Ryan and Jenny in the waiting area, where the smallest Ryan immediately wrapped her chubby little arms around Kate's leg.
"Hi, Lily," Kate picked the toddler up and give her a loud kiss on the cheek.
"Ion Ate," the little girl replied with a giggle.
"What am I chopped liver?" Castle pouted at the little girl over Kate's shoulder.
Lily turned her head to the side, and Castle could swear he saw the little cogs start turning as she considered his question, "I Un Icky."
"Hi, kiddo," he turned his attention to Kevin and Jenny, "Any news?"
"Nothing yet, but he swears he heard her scream right before you all got here."
"I did!"
"You didn't," Esposito said slumping into the chair next to Jenny.
"What are you doing out here?" Kate asked as she continued to play with Lily.
"I was thrown out. She told me to get fu-" his eyes flicked up to Lily, "she told me to get the bleep out."
"And you left?" Kevin asked.
"She scares me!"
"Bro, do you know how many times Jenny threw me out? You're not supposed to actually leave, it just makes them madder," he jerked a thumb at his nodding wife.
Esposito sighed, "She nearly broke my hand," he headed back up the hall toward Lanie's room.
Kate took Esposito's seat, "She's getting so big, Jenny."
"You want her she's yours. She is never ever this good for me," Jenny brushed her fingers through the little girl's hair, "him maybe, but never me."
"Would you like to know a secret?" Kate leaned in conspiratorially.
"Sure?" Jenny asked a bit unsure.
"The only words she says to me are 'Hi Aunt Kate' and 'Want Mommy'."
"Really," Kate passed the child back to her mother, "She's just learned quickly how to work the boys."
"I dread her teenage years," Jenny said looking a bit terrified.
"Don't, four of her eight favorite people carry guns," Kate gave Lily another kiss and got up, "Do you all want anything to drink? I need coffee."
A chorus of "No" left Kate to wander off to get coffee by herself.
"Okay, spill," Jenny said turning to Castle.
"Huh?"
"When are you going to have another kid?"
Castle looked at the small blonde, "I need to go. Over there."
The pair watched as he swung right as he left the waiting room.
"She went to the left, Castle," Kevin called out. They laughed as he passed by the opening again.
He walked down the hall a few feet before a voice stopped him, "Can I have your autograph?"
Castle stopped and turned around, "Sure!"
After he was done signing the back of the nurse's name badge Kate spoke, "I can't take you anywhere."
"Jenny cornered me," he pouted.
"Yeah, when was the last time one of our 'friends' didn't ask when we were going to have kids?" She held her hand out for him.
"The day before they found out we were dating," he said allowing himself to be pulled further down the hall.
"Exactly," she smiled.
