"My Nana Rosa sent me these cute outfits for the girls." Esposito said holding up baby clothes. They were pink onesies with camouflage lettering that said "My Daddy is a super hero" with matching hats and booties.

"That is so cute my mom got Sara Grace and I shirts that say drinking buddies with two baby bottles on them."

"Oh forgot Jenny bought these for you guys."

Ryan handed them shirts that said " My aunt Jenny *hearts* me"

"You know who magical being a father is?" Ryan said

"Yeah, I do. I am one." Castle said

"I've never been a father until now but every time I feel my girls kick it warms my heart." Esposito said.

"As much as a blessing that kids are they change every thing." Ryan said.

"I know, Lanie either wants me to hold her or stay away from her. I'm so confused and she keeps handing me all these books to read on babies."

"Those books are kinda helpful." Ryan said

"As if I raised Alexis with out looking at any stupid baby books." Castle said.

"And then she's making me baby proof everything, I can't even get into my own cabinets, I'm going insane."

"Kate says I'm going over board because i bought all these cool baby gadgets."

"What baby gadgets?" Ryan said.

"I bought a poop alarm and…"

"You bought a what?" Esposito said

"A poop alarm and this little baby carrier thing that has hooks on it so if I'm writing in my office I can hang him or her on the door."

"Why would you hang your child on a door?" Ryan said

"Don't worry its completely safe."

"Says who?" Esposito said.

"Says-"

Just then Castle's phone rang.

"Hello? Mother? Yeah he's right here." Castle said "My mom wants to speak to you Esposito."

"Um okay." Esposito said taking the phone. "Hi Ms. WHAT. OH MY I'M MY WAY." Esposito went into a room and grabbed a suit case and baby bag.

"Lanie's in labor. I gotta go." He said running towards the door.

"Let's go then." Castle said running after him.

Ryan ran after them.

Mean while at the hospital

"Where. Is. He. " Lanie said between breaths

"Don't worry he's coming darling." Martha said

"Yeah,there's no place he rather be then here with you." Kate said

"He needs to get here soon."

"Hello Dr. Parish, how you feeling?" Dr. Harrison, the OBGYN, said.

"Just fine." Lanie said.

"Where's Mr. Esposito?" Dr. Harrison said.

"He's on his way." Kate said.

"If he knows what's good for him he'll get here quickly." Lanie said.

Lanie's phone rang.

"Hello?" Kate said

"Kate, It's Javier I'm on my way. Can you put Lanie on the phone?"

"It's Javier." Kate said handing Lanie the phone.

"Hello? Javier where the hell are you?"

"Baby I'm coming I'm in traffic."

"Listen to me, you need to get here now. I don't care how you don it but get here."

"Okay, I love you."

30 minutes Later

Esposito ran into the hospital with Ryan and Castle right behind him.

"I'm here for Parish." He said to the receptionist

"Who are you?"

"I'm the FATHER. Now can you please tell me where she is ma'am." Esposito said. the receptionist rolled her eyes and pointed to the right.

"Down the hall room 243."

"Thank you."

Esposito went down the hall dragging all the stuff behind him.

" Hey, I'm here!" Esposito said as he, Ryan and Castle crashed into the room.

"That was fast. For New York traffic." Martha said.

Esposito went over to Lanie and kissed her.

"I'm here, right here."

"Okay so there are way to many people in here at once how about you guys go out into the waiting room." Dr. Harrison said.

Everyone left the room.

"Alright so the contractions seem to be constant at this point." Dr. Harrison said. "Now lets see how dilated you are?"

"Okay." Esposito said .

"You're 5 cm dilated. Do you want an epidural?"

"YES!" Lanie screamed.

"Um, Lanie remember you told me not to let you get it even of you asked for it. You said that it would just be th- AAAAAH"

Lanie yanked Javier's arm down so he could face her and there was a popping sound.

"Listen to me Javier Esposito, if I want pain medication I will have it. Understand?" Lanie said.

Javier nodded his head trying to hide the pain she was causing him.

"Well you heard her Doc, give her the medicine." Javier said

"Alright."

"And doctor?"

"Yes?"

"Can I get a doctor please?"

7hours and two babies later

"Daddy love you guys." Javier said looking down at his daughters.

"No voy a dejar que nada te haga daño. Lo juro."

Esposito kissed their foreheads.

"Javier." Lanie said from the bed.

"Yes Carñio?"

"Can I hold my babies please." Lanie said with a smile.

Javier chuckled and handed her the babies.

"I'll go get Ryan, Jenny, Castle and Beckett."

Kate was the first to enter the room.

"Oh my God. They are so precious can I hold one of them."

Lanie nodded and Kate took the baby in her arms.

"That's Breelyn your holding." Lanie said.

"And that beautiful little girl is Peyton." Javier said as he walked in.

"Come on darling show the children." Martha said pushing past the men.

"Mother," Castle said.

"What? Richard I've waited quite a while for this. So I would like to see their beautiful children." Martha said. She looked over Kate's shoulder at Breelyn her arms then over at Peyton in Lanie's.

"They are just marvelous."

"Wait what do you mean you've been waiting for this?" Javier said

"Oh please son. You've been smitten for Dr. Parish for a very long time." Martha said with a wave of her hand.

"I-I…"

"It's okay now you can admit it."

"Lanie and I didn't even start dating until 3 or 4 years ago."

"Yes I'm aware but you've been after her probably as long as Richard has been after Katherine, or longer."

"Um.."

"Don't worry she wanted just as much."

"Mother." Castle said

"Richard, they are a family now it's fine."

"How do you assume that?" Lanie said

"Mother always knows Darling. And besides I remember you guys had a little exchange in the kitchen during one of our first poker games together."

"That doesn't mean anything." Lanie said

"Oh really, what about the time When you guys had that therapist who got murdered and…"

"OH THE DRESS." Ryan said.

"I remember that dress." Castle said smiling.

Esposito smacked castle in the back of his head.

"Come on now, don't pretend that you weren't the only one that she didn't stop from staring." Ryan said

"I have no idea what any of you are talking about," Lanie said.

"Oh yeah cause you called out Castle , LT , all those uniforms, me and not to mention the CSU guys, but not Jav." Ryan said

"That's cause I wasn't staring." Javier said.

Castle and Ryan burst into muffled laughter.

"Okay sure. SO I didn't have to pull you away to your job." Ryan

"You guys please. I would like my children to sleep in peace." Lanie said

"Sorry." They said in unison

TWO WEEKS LATER

"Castle it's time." Kate said

"Huh?" Castle said staring into his video game.

"CASTLE it's time the baby is coming." Kate said hobbling into the room.

"OH THAT time! Gotta go Aadesh, my baby is about to be born." Castle took the bluetooth out of his ear and started scrambling.

"Okay got sit on the yoga ball I read online it's supposed to relax you as the contractions are coming."

"Castle just get the bags and lets go." Kate said.

"Um okay. MOTHER! It's time!" Castle said

"What Are you blaming about Richard?" Martha said coming down the steps.

"Kate is in labor. Let's move, we gotta go before baby Castle is born here."

"Alright darling, where is Katherine"

"In their sitting on a yoga ball." Castle said pointing his thumb behind him.

"Okay is everything already packed?" Martha said

"Yes by the door."

"Alright let's get Katherine to the hospital then." Martha said walking walking along with Kate.

"Quickly please." Kate said "Rick don't forget the car seat either."

Castle looked back at the box holding the unassembled car seat.

"Yeah of course."

Castle ran and grabbed the box.

"Rick!" Kate said from the elevator.

"Kate go ahead I'll take the stairs." Castle said.

Castle ran down stairs until he got to Lanie and Esposito's floor. He went and knocked on their door franticly.

"Open up it's me Castle!" he said.

Esposito swung the door .

"What Castle?"

Castle walked inside of the loft and put the box on the coffee table.

"Can you please put this together for me Kate is in Labor and she told me to do it days a ago but I forgot. I really need your help."

" Look Castle as much as I'd like to help-"

"Ferrari. Unlimited use. For a month." Castle said.

"Come on Castle,"

"And Court side Knicks tickets."

"Alright i'll bring it to the hospital when i'm done." Esposito said slapping Castle on the back.

Later at the hospital

"How are you feeling Ms. Beckett?" Dr. Harrison said.

"Alright I guess."

"Alright look at the chart on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your pain level?"

"Uh 7." Kate said, " Oh okay, alright 8"

"Do you want an epidural?"

"N-Yes!" Kate said breathing deeply

"Doc, do what ever you can to keep her comfortable." Castles said.

"I will Mr. Castle."

"Anything money's not an object to make sure two of the most important people in my life are comfortable and healthy."

"Alright Mr. Castle we'll keep that in mind." Dr. Harrison said as she left the room.

"Castle I'm fine really."

" Alright I just want you to be comfortable."

5 hours and a dose of epidural Later

"How are you feeling, Ms. Becket?"

"I feeling just dandy Doctor." Beckett said

" Okay on a scale of one to ten?"

"5 ."

"How are those contractions."

"And lets see if you can push yet."

"Okay."

"Yup you're at 10 cm let's push."

"I'm right here for you." Castle said.

"Alright 1..2..3.. Push."

Sometime Later

"My beautiful boy." Kate said

"Wow we created that."

"He has your eyes."

"Oh my goodness let me see the baby." Alexis said

"His Name is Mason Alexander Castle."

"I wanted to name him Cosmo." Castle said.

Ryan and Esposito came in arguing.

"I told you they are gonna name the baby after me." Javier said.

"No they aren't they are gonna name him after me." Ryan said.

"No they aren't."

"Yes they are."

" I saved Kate's Life."

"So did I."

"YOU GUYS !"

"Yeah?" they said together

"His name is Mason."

"I guess thats a pretty good name." Javier said

"Yeah." Ryan said. "Can I hold him?"

Beckett handed Mason to Ryan.

"Hold his head." Kate said.

"I got it."

"And his neck."

"I know." Kevin said

"Hey little man, I'm your Uncle Javi." Javier said

"And I'm your Uncle Kevin."

"We promise to always protect you." Javier said

"Always." Kevin said.
