So I'd like to say thank you to everyone who left a review on the last chapter and everyone who took a couple of minutes to review the rest of my story :) For everyone who has read this and put me on story alert or on their favorite stories, when I started writing this I didn't think it would be this long but you guys were so kind.

So I tried my best to make this chapter the best it could be and I hope I got it right :) If not then I'll blame Google. All things must come to an end and here is mine.

Disclaimer: I don't own it nor will I ever own it.

As soon as they had gotten to the parking lot Rick was on his phone calling everyone he could think of, he had just finished talking with Jim by the time they had gotten to the car. He opened the passenger seat door for Kate before reaching for the key's she held in her hand. He was about to ring Alexis when he remembered that she had school and she wouldn't answer so instead he sent her a message. He got into the drivers seat before putting the key into the ignition.

"If you think you are going to drive and talk on the phone you can think again." Kate said.

He looked at her and then was going to say something before starting the car. "Fine." He pulled out of the precinct and was glad to see that there was no traffic just a steady flow of cars.

"Don't panic we'll be there soon." Rick said.

"I'm fine." Kate said.

"I was talking more to me than you."

She smiled slightly and then reached out to grab his hand, he immediately responded and entwined their fingers together before giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Alexis was sitting in her class when she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket, she was curious as to who it could be but decided that if it was important like her dad then he would ring the school. So she sat listening to her teacher ignoring the message that had been delivered to her phone. When the bell rang signalling that the class was over she gathered up her books and headed out the door. While on her way to her next class she took her phone from her pocket and then looked at the message she received.

Ring me as soon as, emergency! Love dad

She stopped where she was going and immediately rang her dad. He picked up after a few rings.

"Alexis?" He sounded a little panicked.

"Dad are you okay?"

"Yes…no…sort of."

"What's wrong?"

"Kate. She's gone into labour."

"Oh my god why didn't you ring me sooner?"

"Because whenever I pick my phone Kate's glares at me."

"Well I finish in about two hours so I'll be there as soon as I can." The bell rang signalling she should be in class. "Okay dad I've got to go so I'll talk to you soon."

"Okay pumpkin love you."

"Love you too." She hung up the phone and then headed into her classroom before it was too late.

Rick hung up the phone and then went to sit back to Kate. "How are you?"

"The same you asked me two minutes ago." She said.

"Okay I'm just checking."

"You keep asking me, if there's a change I'm sure you will know if there is."

They had managed to get to the hospital in record time and Kate was currently waiting to be seen by a doctor while Rick sat trying to make conversation but all he managed to ask was how she was feeling.

"Shouldn't I be the one worrying?" Kate suddenly asked.

"Well since I'm such a metro sexual you have to be the strong one out of us." Rick said smiling.

"That is true." She said agreeing.

"Boy one thing I won't miss are these mood swings." Rick said laughing.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." She said.

"Somehow I didn't think you would."

There was a knock on the door and they both looked up to see a man in the thirties smiling at them.

"So how are you doing?" He asked walking in.

"Well so far I'm feeling fine."

"Have you had any contractions so far?"

"Not yet no."

He looked at the chart that he was holding reading the information on it. "So it says here that you want a natural birth."

"Yes." Kate said agreeing.

"Okay. Well you must understand that if there any complications at all between you or either of the babies, we will have to do an emergency C-Section."

"I understand that."

He smiled to them. "Okay, well we'll keep a close eye on you, if you experience any pains at all then please contact one of our nurses."

Both Rick and Kate nodded.

"Meanwhile it seems you have some visitors outside." He said laughing a bit. "I must say you have a large family."

Kate laughed along with him. "You have no idea."

"Well I will let them in for a few minutes if you would like."

"That's fine."

As soon as he had left the room a whole other group of people rounded into the room. First Lanie and Esposito came in followed by Jim and Montgomery. Martha was on her way and promised to be there as soon as they could.

"Well hey there girl!" Lanie said excitedly as she walked in. "How are you doing?"

"I feel if someone asks me that one more time I may just have to shoot someone."

"Sorry but you don't have your gun." Rick said.

"Well I'm sure I can find one."

"Has she been like this all day?" Lanie whispered in Rick's direction he then nodded before being hit in the arm.

"Ouch!" He said dramatically "What was that for?"

"Oh there are lot's of reasons for that."

"Jeeze I love you too."

"I know." She said smiling.

"Wow are they always like this?" Jim asked.

"Yes." Rick said.

"No." Kate said at the same time.

"Okay then. So what has the doctor said?"

"They said they will keep an eye on me but everything is fine."

Alexis had finished school like she said within a couple of hours and after getting the hospital Kate was at from her dad she was on her way to see them. She was just on her way out of the front building when she heard a familiar voice shouting her.

"Alexis!"

She turned around and smiled as she saw Ashley running towards her.

"Hey Ash." She said greeting him with a kiss.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Oh the hospital." She said.

"Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

"Oh no Kate's gone into labour."

"Seriously? When?"

She checked her watch. "I'm thinking about four hours ago now."

"Well you had better get going." He grinned. "Do you want a lift there?"

Since Ashley had passed his test a couple of weeks ago his parents had gotten him a car, it had given him that bit of extra freedom.

"Sure." She smiled and headed towards the car.

"So are you looking forward to being a sister?" He grinned.

"Yeah." She smiled. "But not as much as my dad being a father again."

Ashley smiled "I'm sure."

They both made small talk as Ashley drove to the hospital, he found a parking space and Alexis took her seatbelt off.

"Do you want to come in with me?"

"Are you sure your parent's won't mind?"

"No. Besides you'll be there more for me than them."

"Well I guess I could stay for a couple of hours if you wanted or however long."

She smiled and jumped out the car along with Ashley they then made there way towards the ward Kate was on. While on the way to the room they found the boys, Lanie, Montgomery and Jim sitting in the waiting room.

"Hey guys." Alexis greeted them.

"Well we thought you might be on your way." Esposito grinned.

"It's like you have some weird connection with those children." Ryan said.

Alexis looked at them confused as to what they were talking about.

"Kate started having contractions about ten minutes ago which I'm guessing is when you were on your way here."

"How's dad?"

"Hurting." Came the reply from the door. "That woman has got one hell of a clutch." He lifted his hand. "I think it's broken."

Everyone turned to face him, Alexis went and gave him a hug which he returned hastily.

"How's she doing Castle?" Ryan asked.

He stared at them all. "It's seems one of the babies is in distress their heart rate is going up so they're going to take her for an emergency C-Section." He ran a hand through his hair.

"So her and the babies are going to be alright?"

"They should be, I hope."

A nurse came to fetch him. "? She's going in now."

He nodded his head unsure of what to tell them.

"Go." Alexis said pushing him slightly. "Be strong for her."

He turned around and headed through the doors as everyone either sat, paced the room or waited for news. Martha then walked through the doors and came to see them.

"Any news?" She asked.

"She's having a C-Section." Alexis said. "The doctors said that the babies seem healthy enough so they should be fine."

"How long have they been in there?"

Lanie looked at her watch, it had only been ten minutes since Rick had come with the news.

"Ten minutes, although she's been in since this morning."

She let out a breath and sat down next to Jim as they yet again waiting for any news. Alexis and Ashley had gone to fetch everyone a drink after another half an hour had passed. Lanie was impatiently pacing the room.

"Would you just sit down you're going to put a hole in the floor." Esposito said.

"I don't care." Lanie said. "I hate waiting."

"I know we all do." He stood up and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Castle should have been back by now it shouldn't take this long."

"I'm sure everything is fine." He said calmly.

She reached over and wrapped her arms around his waist and placing her head on his chest. "I hope so."

Alexis walked in. "So I got some coffee I wasn't sure what everyone wanted."

They smiled and gratefully took a drink from her and Ashley with a thanks going round.

"I take it there isn't any news yet?"

"No."

They all took a seat and quietly drank the coffee before they all heard footsteps they all turned to see Rick standing there smiling as he held a small child.

"Guys…" He said. "I'd like you to meet little Malcolm."

They smiled and stood up walking to him to see the Malcolm with his eyes closed and making soft noises.

"Awww Castle he look's just like you." Lanie said.

"Really? I think he look's more like Kate."

"Where is she?"

"They are just getting her settled in and then they said you can go and see her for a few minutes."

Ryan grinned. "He's going to make an excellent cop one day."

"Hear that they've already got you a future." He said.

"So where's Johanna?"

"With her mother."

He turned to see a nurse heading for them. "Kate said that you can go in now."

Not need to be told twice Alexis, Martha and Lanie all but ran to the room they were sent too slowly followed by then guys.

"What is it with women and babies?" Ryan said.

"I know they lose all self control." Rick said laughing. He gently rocked his son as he started to move and wake, he opened his eyes and stared at them.

"His eyes are definitely Katie's." Jim said.

"Yeah."

When they entered the room they found Alexis, Lanie and Martha all surrounding Kate.

"Could you at least give her some breathing room?" Rick asked.

Kate looked at him her eyes glistening as the lights hit them, she was gazing at their daughter.

"Come on you can't just take the baby all day." Lanie said.

"I can." Kate said. "She's my daughter.

"You've got a whole lifetime with her."

Kate laughed and gently kissed Johanna on her head. "Be good."

Lanie enthusiastically reached over and immediately smiled wider.

"I can't decide who is cuter."

Rick laughed and turned to Jim. "Jim would you like to hold your grandson?"

"You don't even have to ask." He said eagerly.

"Javi what do you think?" Lanie said. "Who's cuter?"

"I'm afraid I can't love one more than the other. It will be the beginning of sibling rivalry."

She laughed and walked over to him. Rick took a place next to Kate on the bed and gently leaned down to place a kiss on her head.

"We did it."

She leaned into him and watched as what she had come to love as her extended family smiled and passed around their children.

"I know." She smiled. As she looked at her dad she could swear that she had seen an image of her mother standing near him looking at Kate and smiling.
