A/N: This chapter is dedicated to alwaysandbeyond on Twitter. She gave me the idea for the dancing. Oh and FYI "guest" that's the correct spelling of his name. I picked it out and designed it myself if you will. If you don't remember back a few chapters, I said how the name came about. It's a name I came up with years ago and can not be found in any name book or online name book as far as I know. And like I said before. You don't like my writing you can leave. I'll never understand why people continue to read things they don't like. Don't torture yourself.

It's late. 2:47 AM the microwave clock reads as the couple stands in front of it. They were exhausted. Kate was actually starting to feel delirious now that she'd been up for what felt like days. Arejay had just been discharged two days ago from the NICU, and the couple had finally brought him home for good. His surgery had gone amazing and was expected a full recovery. Well minus the part where he'd spend his life in a wheelchair. Yawning Kate reaches out and leans on Castle. The two had just fished a middle of the night feeding and found themselves in the kitchen. Castle had to be up soon so he could get the kids to school and today would be the day he had volunteered to help in Victoria's class. Kate had wanted to get another nap in but she knew Arejay would just be up again in 20 minutes, and it was not worth it. Glancing over Castle smiles at the little newborn sleeping happily in the swing that was in the dining room next to them. If it wasn't for the recent poop blowout after the feeding, the three would be in the other room in the little guy's nursery. Castle can tell Kate's having a hard time. This pregnancy had taken a toll on the family, and Kate's emotions had been on high alert for the past ten months. Pulling out his phone, Castle turns on "In my Veins" and puts the phone in his shirt pocket. It's loud enough that the two of them can hear but not loud enough to wake the baby. Putting his arms carefully around his wife Castle pulls her head in and lets it rest on his shoulder as he rocks the two back and forth to the music.

"Oh you're in my veins and I can not get you out." Castle is quietly singing along to the song letting the words fill Kate's ears as they slow dance in the middle of the kitchen.

"Oh, you're all I taste at night inside of my mouth." Castle is still singing holding onto Kate as small cries are heard behind them. Kate's almost had it, but Castle gives her a quick kiss before walking over and lifting Arejay out of the swing. Bringing the little boy over Castle hands him to Kate as she lifts him carefully onto her shoulder. He's got his arms around the two rocking them both slowly as the song continues to play hopefully soothing Kate and Arejay.

"Oh, all that you rely on and all that you can save." Kate is singing now joining Castle as the little one in-between them has calmed down. She wanted to put him down, but this moment with the three of them was just too sweet and anytime Kate could get a moment like this she wanted to cherish it forever.

"Should we put him to bed?" Castle whispers letting go of Kate as the song ended.

"No, I wanna do it again." She smiles softly her eyes pleading to him to be held again. Pulling the two back in again Castle starts the song over and slips it back in his pocket rocking them back and forth. Since Arejay had come home Castle had been very careful with him. I know you have to be careful with all newborns, but he was being extra careful. His scar had healed just enough that he was able to lay on his back and finally take the car seat test. He'd passed with flying colors. Castle knew that was going to happen. All his kids were smart and had all passed the tests to go home as a baby. They had been told that he still had his stitches and about a week after coming home they would have to get them checked and hopefully removed. It was then they could take the big bandage off and put on a smaller skinny one that did not get in the way as much.

The three are still dancing. Both Kate and Castle are singing this time. This was their song. It had played at their wedding and seemed to pop up in their lives just when needed at the right time. The song ends, and Kate wants to do it again, but she's getting really tired of standing. Having to be up in four hours to get to school with the kids Kate decided that they just bring Arejay up to bed with them and let him sleep in the middle while they watch him and doze off.

It's about two hours later, and the couple had finally dozed off really needing the sleep. Peeking her eyes open she checks on the baby before falling back asleep only to be woken up moments after by what sounded like a crying child. Kate jerks up half asleep to see Sidney standing at the end of the bed. His shirt is stained and as always after sleeping the little boys hair is a mess. She's concerned seeing the stain on his shirt and she sits up more looking over the edge of the bed thankful there's none of that on the floor. He must have thrown up in his bed.

"What happened baby?" Kate asks reaching her arms out to tell the kid he can come over. He does, and she hugs him as he cries.

"Don't feel good momma, yucky stuff came out of my mouth, I was in my bed." The boy is now in his mothers arms gripping tightly to her as he cries.

"It's ok buddy; we will get you all fixed up ok?" She smiles at him lifting him into her lap.

"We just have to be quite so we don't wake the baby ok?" She whispered pointing to Arejay sleeping on the bed next to her.

Kate gets up moments later and carries Sidney to the bathroom to get him undressed and cleaned off. She feels his head too, and he's burning up. The Little guy must have a fever.

"If you're going to throw up again will you do it in the sink for mommy?" She tells him lifting him up on the sink. She goes to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom only to find two doses of children's Tylenol on the shelf. It won't last her long but long enough that she can get him cleaned up and back to sleep while the rest of the kids and Castle head off to school. She knows she's going to have to go out today to get some more things for Sidney, but she's not afraid. Arejay has been doing so well lately that a quick hour trip to the store should be no big deal for the three of them.

Its six AM now the couples alarm blaring as Castle groans and rolls out of bed. He checks on Arejay making sure he would not move off the bed before going into the bathroom and getting ready. He steps in and flips the light switch groaning again at the bright lights. He's looking around when he notices the scene in front of him. Its not normal for Castle to come into a dirty bathroom. Kate was the clean one, always cleaning up after Castle and the kids. Theres a pile of clothes on one side of the sink and the box of Tylenol on the other. He's using his cop senses and realizes the clothes had to be from one of his kids. The pile was to small to be from Kate. Its then he walks closer to the box of Tylenol when he see's the words "CHILDREN'S" written in big large letters across the top. He felt stupid for not seeing that earlier. It couldn't get any more obvious. A sick child was never fun. The couple had felt with this before many time so it was nothing new for them.

Reaching for his tooth brush Castle cleans his teeth before running a comb through his hair and changing his clothes for the day. He's be helping in Victoria's class today so he needed something he could easily move in.

"You hungry buddy?" Castle asks looking down at the dog sitting at his feet. The dog sits up excitedly and pants looking up at Castle.

"Lets go feed you and check on Kate." He says walking out of the bathroom to see the bed empty with no sign of Kate or the baby. He's worried for a second but then when he makes it down the stairs he see's his wife in the kitchen three kids at the breakfast nook eating away and the swing in the corner gently rocking back and forth.

"Morning!" He smiles brightly walking over and giving each kid a kiss and then giving one to his wife. He's pulling out the dog food from the cupboard as he hears Victoria calling his name.

"Daddy."

"What Little Sir?" he asks pouring Dax his food and setting it down for him.

"Youth coming to my clath twoday?" She spoke, her mouth full of food.

"Yes, wouldn't miss it, but chew first ok? Big Kindergarteners don't talk with their mouths full." He tells his daughter watching her swallow her food and reach for another bite.

"Wheres Sidney?" Castle questions looking over at his wife. Its then he remembers the bathroom from just a few minutes ago.

"I think he's got something, pretty sure its just a tummy ache but I want to keep him home from school today." She says slapping on the last of the jelly on the sandwich before her.

"Need me to stay home?" Castle asks quietly as not to draw attention to them and worry Victoria.

"Nah, you go, have fun. She's been asking about it all week. The three of us will be fine." Kate smiles and kisses her husband handing him his Nebula 9 lunch box she'd picked up for him as a joke a few years ago for his birthday.

"I'll see you all tonight." She smiles brightly taking the other three lunch boxes and putting them inside the kids' bags hanging on the hooks by the door. Soon after the four are out the door and off to school. Knowing he must be asleep still, Kate picks up Arejay and walks with him to his nursery and gets him changed for the day before sitting down in the rocker for a feeding. He's latched on as Kate looks up to see her eight year old standing in front of her in the bedroom.

"You feeling better?" She asks him as he groans.

"Nuh Uh." He shakes his head and walks over cuddling next to his mother as close as he can get without hurting Arejay.

"I think we are going to go to the store and get you some medicine ok?"

"How about those pops you like, the freezer ones?" She smiles softly watching her son in front of her get excited.

"Let me finish feeding Arejay and we will get dressed and go ok?" She tells him as he nods and closes his eyes.

Its just before lunch and Castle is sitting next to Victoria at her desk as she works on the days craft project. Her and the rest of the class had been instructed before when he came to help out a few months ago what to do if "Mr. Castle" were to have a seizure. They were told that of Dax was barking, to not get close to him and tell one of the other adults or the teacher. Finally Castle's Neurologist had found what he thought was the right combination of two seizure drugs to not take away his seizures but help lesson them a lot. He went from having four or five incidents a week to having just one, and what would you know, the one day Castle just wants to have fun with his daughter he starts to have seizures.

"Mr castle, you ok?" The little boy asks watching the man who had just been helping him build a block knocks it down. Dax is sitting next to them as he barks. That was then the boy knew what was going on.

"Mrs. LAW!" The boy calls out pulling away from Castle and the barking dog. Scrambling over the teacher comes up to Castle seeing Victoria come up behind her. She's seen her mom do this a bunch of times so she knows what she's doing. Reaching into her fathers pocket she pulls out his phone and uses his finger to unlock it.

"Daddy, tell me a story." Victoria says trying to find her dad's seizure app on his phone.

"Uh ok." He's talking and Victoria knows that is what they want. Theres never a good seizure but if he can be talking during it they know he' not having a serious one.

"There was this little boy and he had a pet dog who could talk." Castle starts. He goes on and on about the little boy and his dog and all the adventures they had had. While telling the story more kids come from what what were doing to listen to him. Mrs. Law couldn't believe it. This man was telling a pretty cool story. Its about ten minutes later Castle had finished his seizures about five minutes ago but still continued on with his story. The kids were having a blast with this impromptu story time.

Its about the same time in the day and Kate has found herself standing in the middle of the diaper aisle at target. She's not sure if she wants to get another high box of size one diapers or step up to size two. She'd started with the bigger size since he was born so they could have plenty of room to hook the diaper on and not squeeze his bandage to much. She had fears that if going for size one he would out grow it and half the box would go to waste, but then afraid he was not ready for size two. She decides on size one and puts the box on the bottom of the stroller.

Kate's already picked up the pops for Sidney and a bottle of pedialite before she heads over to the children's medicine section. The whole time Kate was at the store Sidney is pouting to be held. She can't she keeps telling him. The boy was getting to heavy for her and with just having Arejay a few weeks ago she was still weary of picking up heavy things. Its just then Sidney still pouting that Arejay begins to cry wanting to be held. She's not sure what to do at this moment. She's trying not to cry herself. Her hands were full of stuff and both her boys had wanted her attention. She knows Arejay's back must hurt from sitting in the car seat all that time. She wants to just drop the stuff in her hands and pick up Arejay but she does not want to draw attention to herself. Spying an empty hand basket at the end of the aisle, she sends Sidney to go get it quickly and bring it back. She drops the small items in it and tells Sidney to carry it for her. He tries to get out of it but Kate gives him a stern look and by now has Arejay in her arms. She has him in her arms carefully the way she was instructed to do so that would help alleviate the stress on his back. She knows all he needs is a few moments out of the car seat to relieve the pain for a just a few moments longer. Not wanting to stay in the middle of the aisle for the next ten minutes she helps Sidney out the basket into the stroller and push it carefully for mommy. He's just tall enough that he can barely see over it. The three are at the checkout a few minutes later and thankfully Sidney is helping put the stuff from the basket and the stroller up onto the belt. He's done and Kate is trying to pull out her wallet so she can pay.

"Stay with mommy please." Kate instructs looking over at Sidney as Kate is continuing to work on her one handed baby technique. Its something at after five kids you get pretty good at. You learn how to do lots of things one handed. She's finished paying and waits till they get back to the car to put Arejay back in the car seat and put the carseat back in the car.

It takes the three about an hour to finally get home, unpack, take medicine and finally go down for a nap. Sidney is protesting the whole time claiming he was better and that he could stay up and play. Kate knew he was lying. The kid had a high fever, and she could tell that if he did not rest he would be minutes from letting go of the crackers he had just finished. She's in the nursery having just finished feeding Arejay as she sings him to sleep for a nap. She's thinking she'd go get a nap herself in her bed but within minutes she's fallen asleep with Arejay in her arms as they sat in the rocking chair. Sleep had finally taken over her.
