AN: This chapter sort of goes with the 'Always' chapter, but you didn't have to read it in order to read this one...although, you should ;) Enjoy and thanks for the reviews so far!

Everything

She was feeling a bit uncomfortable tonight, so she wasn't sleeping...which meant neither was he. She sat up in bed, resting against the headboard as she watched T.V. She had her hand on her stomach, as if to help tell their baby to calm down and let her sleep. Thankfully, she didn't have a big day tomorrow, but she still had to go to work. He placed his hand over hers, as to help their baby get the message...that and he wanted contact with his wife. There were some nights where she didn't want him touching her. He hated those nights. Not because he knew that the chance of naked Twister was definitely off the table, but because he couldn't hold her in his arms when he fell asleep. She'd just give him a look that said, "Don't you dare touch me. You're the one that did this to me." He was not looking forward to the looks that she would give him when she was further along.

She growled as she looked down at her stomach. "Baby, please move, so mommy can sleep."

He laughed. "Kate, I don't think that they know what you're saying to them."

"Shut up, Castle," she groaned as she turned the T.V off and sunk back into bed.

"You don't want to know if Tamala picks Donny or Randy to be her fiancee?!"

"Castle, I didn't even want to watch this. You're the one that said you had something saved on your DVR. The Bachelorette wasn't what I had in mind."

"I'll just have to watch it in the morning when someone is at work."

"Thank you." She rested her head against his shoulder, hoping that maybe if she moved onto her side that the baby would move.

He kept his hand on her growing stomach, moving his thumb back and forth across the cloth of her, well his, oversized t-shirt. "Maybe we can think of some names while we wait for this little one to move?"

She smiled. "Okay...did you..."

"Cosmo."

"No."

"Ok, we're having a girl so I see your point...Cosma."

"No."

"But Beckett..."

"No. I want to name our baby something meaningful. Something special."

"Cosmo is special."

"Really? What about Cosmo or Cosma makes you think about our lives together?" He was silent. "Exactly."

"What were you thinking then?"

She was silent for a bit. "I don't know. Something that means...everything."

"Everything?"

"Yea or maybe Everly...that's probably the closest thing to everything that we're going to get."

He laughed as he tightened his arms around her. "Why everything, Mrs. Castle?"

"Cause that's what this little one is going to be. She's going to be our everything. Just like we tried to look for a name that meant Always." She looked at him. "Plus, her daddy is my everything and I know she's going to have some qualities that you sure have."

He grinned. "What qualities are you hoping for?"

"Your eyes, your patience, your heart, your ability to not to take things too seriously sometimes, and your ability to take really quick showers so we don't have to wait too long for her to get ready."

He laughed. "Well, I'm hoping she has your eyes and your heart, so I might have to fight you on that."

"What other qualities are you hoping that she has?"

"From you? Your strength, how you carry yourself, your bad ass persona, being able to scare someone with just a look, and your fingers."

"My fingers?"

"Your fingers might be small, but they're perfect." He took her hand, that wasn't on her stomach, and kissed her hand.

She leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. "She moved."

He brushed his thumb against her stomach. "Hopefully, she keeps put for the rest of the night. Get some sleep, Kate. Just in case she wakes up again."

She snuggled into him more and closed her eyes. "Night, Castle. I love you."

"I love you too." He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "You're my everything too, Kate. You always will be." He brushed his thumb against her stomach once more. "You too, peanut. And trust me, you're going to know that...even if we name you Cosma."

"Which we won't be naming her," Kate mumbled.

"How about Cosmica?"

"Goodnight, Castle."
