Chapter 2: The Beginning
An hour of pushing before she finally fell back into the chest of the man who was now a parent for the second time. She felt as if her body was ruined, stretched beyond repair but as the sweet man-child kept telling her "You can do this. You're always going to be the same beautiful, sexy, smart kickass woman that I first met." Little encouragements whispered into her ear as she concentrated on getting to the end where she would be able to hold their child in her arms, she didn't want some woman that barely knew her telling her stuff that her husband was better off telling her. She was there for medical assistance, he was there to be as much help as he could, doing everything he could to make it easier for her even if his hands suffered which at one point he believed she had broken a bone. But seeing how much pain she was in, he knew that it wasn't the time for those kinds of jokes, maybe in a week or two but then and there it was doing what a fantastic husband should be doing; giving her all the support she needs and honouring their vows. This was a part of their always and he knew it.
Three hours after Bracken's sentence was announced, Kate was sat next to her husband in the hospital bed cradling their child to her chest. Wow, a little one who was a perfect mix of them, who would have thought that they would ever get to this point. The "nine-year old on a sugar rush who was totally incapable of taking anything seriously" had changed into an amazing man that had given her everything she could have wanted and would continue to do so while occasionally bringing out that inner nine year old, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'm so glad that she looks like you. Can you imagine my big nose on her?"
"Oh I don't know Castle, I'm sure those are going to your eyes looking up at me. If so, she better like the colour blue."
"Who doesn't? It is a fantastic colour. Although I'm hoping that our next child, a boy if you please, will have your eyes."
"Woo woo hang on their mister, this one is barely an hour old so can we see how badly I mess this one up before you go trying for this one's little sibling and I'm afraid gender is down to you."
"You're not going to mess anything up, sure there will be little mishaps but it is called parenting. No child is the same, hence parenting changes and we're in this together. You've bravely delivered her as well as carrying her safely for so long while taking care of yourself to give her the best possible start. Even though it meant hurting her father due to the lack of caffeine and numerous other pregnancy related issues. So we will only do it again if we both agree to try for Cosmo."
"We will never ever name a child Cosmo. We will stick with something traditional. And thank you, I know I'm a mess and probably will be for a while so sometimes I just need that reassurance because I'm still terrified. So how about we..." Just as she was about to suggest they decide on her name, the little one in question began to cry letting them know she needed attention. After she was fed, the little girl quickly fell asleep. Kate started to yawn as well; it had been a long, tiring and exhausting day. Castle put their little girl in the bassinet beside the bed before going around and sitting next to Kate on the bed.
"So before our little miss interrupted me, I was going to say how about we decide on her name. We can't keep calling her little miss or baby Castle." Yawning after finishing the sentence, he knew that right now what they both needed was some sleep.
"We can do that when we are both more awake and you have had a well-earned rest."
"Thank you. I love you so much, thank you for our daughter, for us and for everything."
"You're welcome and I love you too but really I should be thanking you, you did all the work." He had barely finished his sentence when she was asleep. He managed to stay awake for a while, keeping watch over his wife and youngest daughter. He was so incredibly proud of Kate, after all she had been through with her mother's case and then with them. That was an incredible feat in itself; she had gone from loathing his company to being his wife whilst loving almost every minute spent with him. From partners to lovers to parents, a remarkable woman who was his wife and mother of his youngest, he needed no reminder to thank God every day for what had been given to him.
Fin.
If you want another chapter let me know of them at home or a bit later in life.
I'd love a review as well, please?
Thank you.
