"So that means we are getting not just one kid but two" Kate had a big smile on her face while Castle continued screaming "Imagine that in a few months we are going to have two new little members of our family"

Becket was so happy and nothing could take that happiness away from her but at the same time, she was really scared just with the simple fact of knowing that in few months her life will turn all over around: she was going to be a mother. She already was Alexis' stepmother but that didn't count for her because she was already a grown woman and Kate never had to take care of her that way.

After a couple of hours screaming, laughing and thinking of their very near future, they went to their room and got into bed together. They didn't slept or talked. They just cuddled all night long. They were both so happy but so scared, even though we wasn't going to admit it.

The next morning Kate woke up and Castle wasn't in bed, next to her.

"Castle?"

"I'm here, Kate!" Suddenly, Castle enters their room with two coffees in hand

"Good Morning, sweetie" He sits in bed and gives her a kiss on the cheek and then one in the lips. They just couldn't help but smile, it was inevitable.

"Okay so, who are we telling first?" Castle said very excited while the detective's face changed from happy to confused.

"Wait? What are you talking about?"

"Who are we going to tell first about you know, the twins…"

"Oh…About that…I already told two people… I'm so sorry Castle but I had to!"

"What? Why? Who?"

"First I told Lanie because I needed her advice for the correct way to tell you because I was scared and nervous but so happy and I really wanted to tell you the news in a right way and then, I told Gates because I wanted to tell you the news with that little dinner I made for you last night and I saw the perfect chance yesterday while you were with Alexis but to make everything happen I needed to get out of work early and for that I needed Gates permission so I told her…I'm really sorry"

Castle stayed quiet for a few seconds and then smiled "Don't worry, Kate. I understand. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that is scared about all this"

"What? You are scared?" Beckett laughed a little bit "But you already experienced all this with Meredith when Alexis was born!"

"I know, I know. But, you know, this time is different. This time I'm really here. This time is you"

Kate smiled and gave Castle a big long hug. After a few minutes, she finally said:

"Okay. I think we should tell our parents first at lunch today and then Alexis when she comes to the loft this afternoon, don't you think? And after that, we can tell the boys on Monday"

"Great idea. I'm so excited to tell everybody"

"I know" Kate gives Castle a fast kiss on the lips and then stands up "I'm going to call my dad to remember him lunch is at his place today"

"Okay" Castle gives that little childish smile to Kate

It was 1 pm and they were nervous and excited at Jim Beckett's door. Finally, he opens.

"Hi Katie" He says to her daughter while he gives her a hug

"Hi Rick"

"Hi Jim! How are you?"

"I'm good, thanks. How about you?"

"I'm better than ever"

"Good!"

They walk into the dining table were Martha was already waiting for them. "Hi you two" Martha says

"Hi, mother" Castle says giving a kiss on her mother's chick.

"Hi Martha" Kate says giving her a hug and then sitting next to Castle.

Jim enters the room with lunch. They start eating and during the whole lunch Castle and Beckett exchange glances. They are so nervous. They don't know when would be the right moment to deliver the news. They know their parents will be really excited but they are still nervous. All of a sudden, lunch is over. They go to the living room to get some coffee and chat. They know it is the time.

"So, what have you been up to, kids?" Jim Beckett says

"Um, actually Castle and I wanted to tell you something… Dad… Martha" Beckett stops and turns her head to watch Castle. Castle gives her a wink. "I'm pregnant!"

Castle and Beckett look at each other and smile. Jim stands up with a big smile on his face, the same as Martha.

"This is amazing! I'm going to be a grandfather of my daughter's first kid!"

"Actually, dad, you are going to be a grandfather to two kids. We're having twins!"

"Seriously?!" Martha and Jim say at unison.

"Ooooh congratulations you two!" Martha gives a big hug to Kate and Rick

"I'm so happy for you two" Mr. Beckett says. He hugs Castle and then her daughter. "Your mom would be so happy for you, Katie"

Kate smiles "I know Dad."

The soon-to-be parents, Martha and Jim talk for the next two hours about everything: babies names, babies clothes… Everybody was so excited. There were only laughs, smiles and hugs in there. That was the best news all of them had received in a very long time.

"Well, Jim, Mom. We have to go. Alexis is coming to the loft and we have to be there"

"Okay! Good luck telling Alexis the news! She's going to be so excited to be a big sister!"

"Thanks mom."

After they said goodbye, they got into the car.

"That wasn't bad at all. They are so excited! My dad is so happy of finally becoming a grandfather!"

"I bet he is! Now is time to tell Alexis she's becoming a big sister!"

"Castle, how do you think she's going to react? What if she completely hates the idea of being a big sister?"

"She won't. I know her. She will be very excited and will be on board of all this immediately. You'll see. Don't worry"

Kate smiles. Castle gives her a kiss on the lips and they start driving into the loft.

So what do you think so far? Any ideas to add? I have to ideas for Alexis' reaction. How do you want her to react? You can write a review or write me to twitter: piliccls98
