I wrote this adorable Christmas drabble in a comment on Facebook... My friend liked it so much that I felt compelled to post it! This is for you Mya. :)

Beatitude
\ bee-AT-i-tood \ , noun;
1. Supreme blessedness; exalted happiness
2. Any of the declarations of blessedness pronounced by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.
Wrapped in Castle's arms and surrounded by the ethereal glow of the yellow Christmas lights, Kate lifts her gaze to meet his. He gazes back at her intently, his blue eyes piercing her soul.
It's Christmas Eve and everything is perfect.
He leans down to kiss her, but she stops him. A glimmer of fear passes across his features, but she just smiles softly at him, reassuring him that everything is fine. Running her hand through his hair, she pulls him close.
She rises to her tiptoes and whispers in his ear. "I love you."
As her sincere words fill every corner of his mind, his heart leaps with joy.
Kate loves him!
His arms instinctively tighten around her, holding her as close as possible, breathing in her beautiful scent - a mix of roses and gingerbread. After a moment, he pulls back and puts his hands on her shoulders, centering her in front of him.
"Really?" he beams.
She looks down shyly, hair falling in front of her adorable smile.
"Really," she confirms. "I love you."
And with that, Castle pulls her in for a searing kiss, locking their lips together for what feels like eternity. When they finally break apart, he scoops her up in his arms in one quick motion and she giggles in delight. As he begins to walk toward his bedroom, he rubs small circles on her arm with his thumb.
"I love you, too," he murmurs. "Best Christmas gift ever."
So technically I didn't base this drabble off of the word "beatitude"... I based it off of this picture:
