WOW, that's all I can say other than thank you so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so much for your amazing response to this story. Now I know a few of you didn't like the proposal in the last chapter because it seemed to be in a bad place, but I felt that Kate needed that commitment in a more tangible form than just words. Also, just to clarify, she did loose one baby, which will be much more clear in this chapter. Alright, enough of my pointless rambling, here is the next chapter.

Kate was admitted to a room, given an IV of saline, and also some pain and nausea medicine that was safe for the twins she was still carrying. He held her hand tightly as the painful cramps continued for another hour or so. As she felt them ease up, the doctor came in to check her, confirming that the miscarriage of the baby was complete. She couldn't do anything but sob as Castle climbed into the hospital bed next to her, holding her close to his chest as tears silently fell down his own face.

"I know," he said, rubbing her back as she cried into his shirt, "I know."

They sat there for a while, simply allowing the tears to run for their baby they had never gotten a chance to meet.

"We are going to have a memorial for the baby," Kate said, looking at Castle with red, puffy eyes, "We need to."

He nodded, "Of course," he said, we can invite whoever you want." He knew this was an important part of grieving for her and him as well. He held her for a while longer until the doctor came in.

"Now I know this is a hard time for both of you," Dr. Riley said, sitting down on a stool she pulled up next to the bed, "But you still have two healthy babies I would like to talk to you about. Are you ready?"

Kate nodded as she leaned against Castle for support. "Now it appears that your remaining babies are identical twins, which is great. They appear to be developing normally. Now, I know you are an NYPD detective because I got out your files. All things considered, I would like you to be placed on desk duty until these two are born. You can continue working unless something happens, but I don't want you out in the field making arrests and chasing down suspects. I also am going to give you these pamphlets on twins and pregnancy. They should help you in the coming months. This is your first pregnancy correct?" Dr. Riley asked, looking to Kate.

"Yeah," Kate said, voice rough from crying, "But Castle has a daughter from another marriage."

"Good," Dr. Riley said, "Then he has some experience. However, twin pregnancies are a bit different. There is a good chance you will end up on bed rest as you get closer to your due date, which I would place around June 5th based on the measurements and the date of your last cycle."

"Wait," Kate interrupted, "I didn't fill out any paperwork, how do you know the date of my last cycle?"

"Your…" Dr. Riley paused, looking to Castle.

"Fiancé," Castle answered, looking down as Kate smiled subconsciously at the sound of that word, "I filled out the paperwork while they were transferring you up here."

"Yes," Dr. Riley said, smiling at him, "By the way, didn't you notice you were very late?"

"Not really," Kate confessed, "This past year and a half has been stressful and I haven't really been super regular. I've missed periods before and then they would start again, which is what I thought was happening today."

"I see," Dr. Riley said, scribbling down something on her pad, "I see you aren't on birth control. Would you like to start it after the babies are born?"

"No," Kate said, "I took the pill for a few months in college and they made me super nauseous and moody so I stopped. I have tried most of the others as well, but they make me sick so I don't use them."

"Alright," Dr. Riley said, "Now I am planning to keep you here over night. Your fiancé is welcome to stay if he would like."

"Thank you," Kate said, snuggling into Castle.

"Aright," Dr. Riley said, "I just need to get a temperature on you and then I will go." She took Kate's temperature which was down to 101.3 and left the couple alone.

"Should we call Lanie and the boys?" Castle asked, kissing her hair.

"Can we wait?" she asked, closing her eyes, "I will call them when I get released. I don't want to see anyone now." He nodded, holding her as she slipped off to sleep.

Castle let his mind wander as she slept. What would their baby have been like? Would it have had her brilliant hazel eyes and curly light brown hair or his brown eyes and deep brown hair? Would it have been a boy or girl? A writer, athlete, thespian, lawyer, doctor, cop? Have his over imaginative mind or her serious, compassionate one? He continued wondering about his lost child for another hour, silent tears slipping down his cheeks and into her hair. He could have thought about the baby for the rest of the day, but she woke up with a start.

"Carson," she whispered, looking at him, "That is the baby's name. Carson Beckett Castle. I don't know if it was a boy or girl, but I had a dream I was calling out for Carson to come home, looking frantically and never finding this little child." Tears were running down her face as she told him about her dream.

"Carson it is," he said, kissing her hair, "I'll bet he or she would have been perfect." She nodded as more tears poured out of her swollen eyes.

They spent the rest of the night sleeping for small amounts of time. She woke up more than once from her dreams, always about this small child named Carson who was lost.

By morning, all she wanted was to be out of the hospital and home in bed. Her fever was down around 100 which was good and her nausea was gone after she threw up one the next morning, which Dr. Riley said could be morning sickness. Kate was released after making a follow up appointment for the following week with Dr. Riley. Castle thanked Dr. Riley as a nurse pushed Kate down the hall and toward the exit.

I promise the next chapter will have some Lanie and the boys in it. I am going on vacation next week though and then I have camp and I just got a job so updates might be a little slower than they have been. I promise to still work on this though. More reviews=me pushing this to the front of the stories I'm working on. Thanks so so much for reading. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
