So I realized one night that for this to even kind of match the show, Alexis would be about 20 years older than Bex, which means that in this story, she'd be 34-ish. So I decided that she needs to be married with a kid. Sorry if that annoys you guys, but everything I write with Alexis in it seems awkward unless I imagine her with a family of her own. So eventually, I'll write her wedding and having her kid and put them in this story. Which means that yes, technically Alexis' daughter is older than her uncle. Whatever.

"Come on, Kate. One more push, and you're done." Rick said as he brushed his wife's sweaty away from her eyes.

"You've been saying that for the last 10 minutes." Kate groaned, but she gave one last push, and moments later, a cry sounded through the room.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Castle. Your son has a healthy set of lungs on him." The doctor said with a smile.

Kate sighed and relaxed into the bed while Rick cut the cord and the nurse took the baby away to clean and weigh him.

"Rick?" Kate murmured.

"Yeah?" Her husband asked as he stroked her hand.

"Can we please be done having kids? I'm too old to deal with this again."

Rick chuckled. "Of course, Kate."

The nurse returned with a bundle in a blue blanket, and Kate held her arms out for the baby.

"Is he ok?" She asked as the nurse settled him in her arms.

"He's a little small, but everything is working how it should be." The nurse said with a smile.

Kate nodded her thanks and used her index finger to brush along her baby's cheek.

"Rick, he's gorgeous."

"He really is. And he's healthy, but we knew he would be."

"I know. But part of me was still unconvinced until now."

They sat in silence for a moment and marveled at the baby they had made, so thankful that despite the fact that this was a high risk pregnancy, possibly even more high risk than Kate's pregnancy with Anna and Maggie, their son was completely healthy.

"We should name him." Rick finally said.

"Yeah. Got any ideas?"

"Jack?"

"Jackson." Kate said.

"Fine. What about a middle name?"

"Oliver?" Kate asked, finally managing to tear her eyes away from her son.

"Jackson Oliver Castle." Rick said contemplatively. "I like it." He decided.

Kate smiled and kissed his lips softly. She turned back to her son and kissed his forehead. "I love you so much, Jack. Daddy and I love you so very much." She murmured.

The door opened, and Bex popped her head in. "Can we come in? It's just Anna, Maggie, and I. Lex is on her way with Brian and Lindsey, but it'll be a few minutes."

Kate smiled at her daughter and nodded. "Of course, girls. Come meet your brother."

Bex smiled and opened the door further to be able to walk into the room, followed closely by her sisters. The three girls came to bed and crowded around their parents. Rick lifted Maggie and settled her on his lap so she could see better.

"He's adorable." Bex murmured as she softly touched his hair.

"What's his name, Momma?" Anna asked as she sat on the bed by Kate's knees.

"Jackson Oliver Castle." Kate said with a smile.

"I like it." Maggie announced. "It's a good name."

Rick laughed and kissed Maggie's head. "Good."

There was a knock and a moment later, Alexis slipped into the room with her daughter on her hip and closed the door.

"Gram and Grandpa Jim are in the lobby, and so are Lanie and the boys, and Jenny too. They said to take your time with your kids, and they'll come in later."

Kate smiled at Alexis, still loving that she'd started calling Jim her grandpa. "Thanks, Lex. Want to come meet your brother?"

Alexis smiled. "You had a boy? Hear that, Linds? You have a new uncle."

"I did. Come say hello."

"His name is Jackson." Maggie said helpfully. "But you can call him Jack."

Alexis smiled at the nine-year-old and tugged one of Anna's curls as she walked by. When Kate held Jack out to her, Alexis set Lindsey on the bed with Anna and took Jack into her arms.

"He's tiny, Mommy." Lindsey said as she peeked at the baby.

"He is, Linds. You were this tiny once." She asked as she smiled down at her brother. " Is he ok?" She asked, turning to her dad.

"He's completely healthy." Rick answered.

Alexis nodded and pressed a kiss to his forehead and passed him to Bex.

The four girls each took their turn holding their little brother, and Alexis pulled Lindsey into her lap and helped the four-year-old hold the baby, until he started to get fussy. The girls left so Kate could feed him, but they promised to have the rest of their friends and family come in after an hour or so.

On her way out of the room, Bex leaned over and kissed her mother's cheek.

"He's perfect." Bex whispered before she turned and walked away. Kate smiled at her oldest daughter, and when she turned back to her son, she couldn't deny that Bex was right.

And now we've met their little surprise. I'm working on another idea, and it'll hopefully be up soon.

If you have any ideas for this story, please let me know.

Reviews are wonderful. You should write one. :)
