Sorry its short but I was in a fluffy mod,so I decided to write a fluffy chapter,thanks to my beta for editing this and this is the second last chapter before the last chapter,cause I have no other ideas for the story.
"Hey little cutie." Kate cooed, tracing circles on her little girls belly. She leaned in to pick up her baby and carry her over her shoulder to the bathroom. Gracie started crying, her little hands in fists. "Shh, I know baby, I know you're tired, but just let mama give you a bath and then you can go to sleep."
Gracie continued to whimper as Beckett bathed and changed her, but when she laid her in her crib, covered her up, and turned on her mobile, Gracie calmed down. Kate placed a kiss on her daughters temple as her eyes got heavy. "Goodnight sweet girl." Beckett tiptoed out of the room into the living room to work on paperwork she had brought home.
Two hours later, she was still highlighting and signing when Gracie started to cry. Beckett rubbed her forehead mumbling, "Please, Gracie, go to sleep." She picked herself up and made her way into the nursery. "Come on sweetie. I know you're tired, please sleep, honey." Beckett leaned in to pick her up, "Shh, it's alright." She rocked Gracie back and forth, patting her back gently.
Beckett gave her a bottle, Gracie's hands on Kate's as she fed her. Gracie never took her eyes off of her mother's warm, loving eyes. Soon after, Gracie fell asleep snuggled up in Kate's arms.
When Castle arrived home, the living room was covering in paperwork, but nobody was around. He snuck into Gracie's room to check on her, finding she was fast asleep. He continued on into his own room to see Kate already asleep as well. He changed quickly in the bathroom, careful not to make too much noise. When he crawled into bed, Kate stirred, rolling onto her side facing him. She snuggled into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. She laid her head in the crook of his neck; her favorite place to be when she was tired.
