Kate wakes Castle up with baby Lily and coffee in bed. With a little help from Alexis she's planned this year's birthday surprise.
Because of how small Lily is still she can't go all out like in previous years but knows he'll enjoy this just as much.
"Happy birthday Rick." She gives him a kiss as she sits on the bed next to him, bouncing Lily in her lap. "If you want your presents babe, you're gonna have to find them." She teases with a kiss and hands him Lily. "Happy birthday Daddy!" she says as Rick takes their daughter.
"We've hidden 10 eggs around the loft and 5 presents." Alexis explains, as she hands her Dad a basket and gives him a kiss too. "Happy birthday Dad."
"And an Easter present for Lily. So, you up for the challenge Castle? You've got Lil to help you out while we start on breakfast."
Castle grinned like a kid, practically jumped out of bed, Lily tucked against his side and walked across the bedroom to put his slippers on.
"The presents are wrapped so you'll know them if you find them…" Kate teased again, rising from the bed and giving her husband and daughter a kiss each before she followed Alexis into the kitchen to start breakfast for everyone. "But don't open them without us!" She called back over her shoulder.
"Best birthday ever," he announced to the loft as he started to look around their bedroom. "What do you think Lilypad? Where shall we begin?"
Written as a quick drabble at Easter/Rick's birthday. Just remembered it. Castle album "Always" is now at 19 songs and I've got two more planned to finish. Hope to share it soon!
Thank you to all the reviewers. I love the prompts so far. They've been added to the list but I've been in a creative frenzy in the studio for the last week so haven't written any new stories. Got a couple coming up though. Keep sending. Love you all!
