Hopeful
The days progressed and with each day; Beckett hoped that her son would arrive on the day he was due. She really didn't want to go past her due date like Jenny did with Sarah Grace a few years ago. Then again Beckett had the same wishful hope with the last two pregnancies too. She also wanted the baby would arrive before Alexis' wedding.
Castle had told her to relax; that their son would come when he was ready not when his mother was ready for him to come. In the back of Beckett's mind she knew that Castle was right. She didn't want to go through what she had gone through with the twins.
So with that Beckett sat down and started to work on something.
Eight years ago; my life was turned upside down and has remained that way since that day. On one particular night back in 2009; my team and I got a double homicide. From that point on we were saddle with mystery writer, Richard Castle as a consultant. Fast forward eight years and we're still saddled with Castle. But now he is much more than just a pain in the ass civilian consultant.
Now he's much more than just our civilian consultant. He's my partner; he's a friend to Javi, Lanie and Kevin. Most of all he's the love of my life. Richard Castle is my husband and the father of our children. Five years ago; things finally came together for Rick and me when we got married in the fall of 2014 after things fell through when it came to when Castle and I had originally planned on getting married. It wasn't that long after we got married we welcomed our first child together. After Rick's daughter; Alexis had accepted me as her mother, Alexis became an older sister. Rick and I decided as we welcomed our second daughter; Johanna Martha on March 14th, 2015 that we wanted our children to bear the names of the people that were great importance to us.
On October 8th, 2016; life changed again when our third daughter, Katherine Mae and her twin brother; Jackson James arrived four months early. So a month after the twins turn a year old we learned we will welcome our second son; James Royce on November 12th, 2017.
As previously stated Rick and I wanted our kids to bear the names of people we cared quite a lot about. Our daughter; Johanna Martha bears the names of both of her grandmothers. Katherine Mae bears my name as hers while her twin bears the name of his grandfathers. When the time comes; James Royce will bear the name of his grandfather and my former partner/training officer.
Looking back now; it is clear that my life couldn't get any better than what it is right now. I know that if that double homicide eight years ago didn't lead us to Rick then my life would be completely different then what it is. I also know that my love for Rick and our family is… Always.
When Beckett closed up the laptop she went into the kitchen. It was time for Alexis to choose the cake for her wedding; so Beckett pulled out the samples she had picked up from the bakery the other day. Alexis would be back from looking at venues with Jake soon.
