Toes
For a baby, there was no greater joy in the world than toes. Your toes were always there for you whenever you needed them. They never judged you and never left you. Toes were the perfect companion.
Looking down into the crib where his baby daughter played, Rick Castle smiled. He was already so taken with her and she had only been in his life a few short months. Gurgling, she rolled onto her back and pulled her toes up to her face.
He silently laughed as she sang to her toes. It was a nonsense song, but it was quickly becoming his favorite. She caught his eye and lifted a foot in his direction, as if she was offering him a taste of her toes. Shaking his head, he grinned and leaned in close.
"Mmmmmm," he said, "toes, my favorite." She giggled and pulled the toes back into her mouth.
He rested his head on the edge of the crib while still looking down at her. His life had already changed so much with the addition of this bundle of joy and he couldn't be happier. Right now, everything he needed in life was right in front of him. Little Alexis Castle would always be his pride and joy and he would do anything for her. Always.
End.
A.N.: Dedicated to my husband and our four month old daughter Moira (she's in love with her toes).
