Rick and Kate were still sitting together on the edge of the bed. They were still in shock a bit with the news of the results but one of the underlying level of their subconscious, they were both beyond elated.
"We should go tell my mother before she comes back in here." Castle said.
"Definitely. I have to tell my dad too." Beckett said as they got up and laced their hands together.
Martha heard the clicking of Kate's shoes on the floor which prompted her to look up from what she had preoccupied herself with while she waited.
"So what did the results say, darlings?" Martha asked.
"You're going to be a grandmother again, Martha."
Joy instantly came to Martha when she heard the news.
"Congratulations kids, I am so happy for both of you."
Martha hugged them both.
"I have to let my dad know." Beckett said as she pulled out her iPhone.
Later on they would tell Alexis and their friends at the precinct. Kate had put the call to her dad on speaker so that Rick could talk too.
"You've reached the voicemail of Jim Beckett. Please leave a messageā¦"
"Hey Dad, its Kate and Rick. We have something to tell you so call us back as soon as you can." Beckett said.
After Kate hung up, they left for the precinct. Kate and Rick told Captain Montgomery right off of the bat when they had arrived. The boys and Lanie were next.
"You got to hold back now when we're chasing down leads and suspects, chica." Espo said after they had been told.
"I was already planning on it, Javi."
"Well then congratulations to you both. Can't wait to meet baby Castle." Ryan said.
"Same here." Lanie said.
Kate was happy that so far everyone was thrilled for them and couldn't wait to see the new addition to the Castle family. There was a bit of hope in both Kate and Rick that Alexis would be just as happy about having a half sibling as much as everyone else had been about the baby. But that was still the unknown factor for both of them for the time being.
