Hello all, once again we've got a crossover chapter from BOGO Baby, but as always, we put a nice fresh twist of citrus delight on the plot line. Enjoy!

The summer breeze blowing off the ocean was a most welcome gift in the dead heat of July, Beckett thought as she closed her eyes to enjoy it while she listened to RJ playing with his toys on the porch. A house in the Hamptons was definitely a perk of maternity leave in the summer when you were married to a guy who loved the beach, and she was enjoying it to the max. They'd decided to take a whole two weeks at the shore; Castle had already gone up for a week to write in peace and tranquility, and was taking a break for the weekend by going back to the city to help Esposito with a little surprise for Meredeth - the detective being the good and thoughtful hubby he was had press-ganged the mystery writer into helping him finish the nursery for the twins while the mama and big-sister to be spent a girls' weekend with Beckett and Lanie.

When RJ's toy-noises began to slow, and she saw his eyelids beginning to drop, she picked him up and held him in her lap, subtly rocking back and forth while she rubbed his back. 'I know, it's way past nap-time, isn't it, but you were having so much fun being outside in the fresh air,' she murmured.

From over by the railing that overlooked the driveway, Castle squinted behind his sunglasses. 'What time are they getting here?'

'Soon, Richard, stop worrying.'

'But what if they had car problems or Artie was-'

'It's fine.' Beckett cuddled the almost-sleeping RJ close on her chest when the red Nissan pulled into the driveway of the Hamptons' mansion. 'Look, see? There they are, all in one piece.'

'Alright, I give.'

Beckett chuckled as he walked off the porch, rounded the trunk to help unbuckle Tessi; the little girl was babbling away as Meredeth waddled up while Esposito handled her overnight bags and Castle walked up to his wife with Tessi grinning on his hip. 'You remember this little guy, right?'

'That RJ, he nice too. Hi Datie.'

'Hi sweetie.' Beckett smiled at her, patted the space beside her as she held RJ in her arms while he had a nap. 'He's just having a little snooze right now.'

'I hafa 'nooze too. Set sample.'

Esposito had taken Meredeth's luggage up to the porch just in time to hear his little girl using her 'big sister' voice and grinned. 'You know it, so when Mami says it's nap time, you...'

'Lissen Mami.'

'Very good. You good to go, bro?' he asked Castle.

'Yep, ready to rock.'

The cops gave their writers and their babies kisses bye-bye, and when the boys were off back to the city in the Nissan, Meredeth plunked herself down in one of the big comfy deck chairs. 'Oh that feels nice,' she sighed on a laugh. 'Harvey said with multiples, you feel everything much sooner and sometimes a little more because of the extra weight.'

'How much weight have you put on this time around?' Beckett asked, shifting RJ when he stirred.

'About twenty-two pounds so far, my doctor wants me at twenty five by seven months. Not too hard when you want to eat everything that isn't nailed to the floor.'

'Mami, shhh, RJ 'noozin',' Tessi shushed her mother.

'Okay, bossy Tessi-boo, I think it's time for you to 'nooze too.'

'O-day, Mami. You boss, I lissen you.'

'That's my girl.'

'I'm going to put him down too, so why don't you come with me, Tessi?' Beckett stood up with RJ in her arms and Tessi following her into the house. They headed upstairs to RJ's nursery, where Castle had put a child-size sleep-cot for their guest so that when the babies needed naps they were in one central location for the mothers to find them. 'This is your bed, here, Tessi.'

'Gassy, Datie.' Tessi gave the sheets a poke with her finger. 'It sof' like mine.'

'You have Crush?'

'Uh-huh, he here.' Tessi dug into her back-pack and came up with her beloved stuffed turtle. 'Dell gif', I little.'

'I remember when he gave you that, you weren't even a whole day old yet. Time to hop in, princess.' Beckett turned back the covers for her little house guest.

'Nigh-nigh, Datie.' She gave the detective a hug and peck on the cheek, then settled back against her pillow, giving Crush a kiss too as she did so. 'See soon.'

Beckett watched fascinated as the little girl's breathing settled into a rhythmic buzz while she slept. Meredeth wasn't joking on that front; the girl could power down like a cute little Dane-o-Rican robot. When she returned downstairs, she saw Meredeth herself looked like she was in need of a nap, but not before Beckett tempted her with the promise of fried-shrimp po-boys and cole-slaw for dinner at The Lagoon, a popular family restaurant in town. With plans made for dinner, and Meredeth guessing the other fun she'd organized for the weekend - a spa day the next day which Lanie was joining them for - Beckett ushered her upstairs as well, and then decided because everyone else was doing it, she would have a nap as well.

The next morning, Beckett was up early with the babies to welcome Lanie and let Meredeth sleep. They'd been up late the night before, having gone to the mini-arcade at the park after dinner, where they'd played ring-toss and the frog pond and Beckett favourite, the penny-punch just like the game from The Price is Right. After they'd returned home she made a big pot of oatmeal to refrigerate so breakfast for Tessi and RJ was taken care of in advance. She warmed it for them the following morning and they ate on the porch to enjoy the morning breeze. Despite Beckett's protestations they'd probably blow away, Tessi insisted they take napkins with them because in her little mind no meal was civilized unless you had a serviette for wiping your face and hands on once you were finished. Beckett instead went for the drop cloth approach and brought a whole washcloth for RJ.

'Open wide, RJ, there we are, down the hatch,' Beckett cooed at RJ as she dipped the baby spoonful of cereal into his mouth, pleased when he didn't spit it back out. 'Good job, you ate it all!'

'Yea Ah-Shay! Feed birdies.' Tessi tapped her fingertips against the baby's and he smiled at her, which made her two year-old heart go buttery. 'Datie, look! He 'milin' me!'

'He sure is, and look over there.' Beckett pointed to the driveway where a car was pulling in. 'Who do you think that is?'

Tessi squinted, then broke into a big grin. 'It Lanie, Datie! Hi Lanie!'

'Hello yourself, Miss Tessi-boo.' Lanie, being a mother herself knew all the notes to hit as she saw the young ones finishing up their meal on the porch. 'Look at you guys, all fancy outside with your breakfast. Where's Meredeth?'

'Mami 'noozin'. Make two babies duff.'

'It is tough stuff making two babies at once. Are you going to get your nails done with your mami and Katie and I?'

'Uh-huh. I be lindy.'

'Lindy?'

'She means linda, as in Spanish for pretty,' Meredeth explained as she came out of the house with a glass of juice in hand. 'Her Danish vocab will increase once she grows into her k's and hard c's.'

'Babies be lindy too.' Tessi examined RJ, then looked up at Beckett. 'Datie, what Ah-Shay do?'

'What's RJ doing?'

'We lindy, what he do?'

'Oh, I get what you mean,' Beckett chuckled. 'He is going to have a spa day too, but for a boy.'

'How?'

'Just watch, princess.'

R&R&Enjoy.
