This is the follow up story to In Sickness and During That time of the month. I know a bunch of people were mad that I decided to make the twins girls, but I honestly didn't know if I was going to have them be boys or girls until I heard the song "Daddy's Girl" by Red Sovine and I could just see the story unfold. SO honestly, I did want your feedback and was actually concidering making the babies boys, but once I heard that song, I couldn't not write it. So sorry if I disappointed you. Anyways, off my rant, here is the first chapter of this story!


Rick was exhausted. Not as much as his wife, but he had barely slept in for weeks because she had barely slept and now, with the excitement of the twins actually coming, he was wiped out.

He was so nervous as they took Kate to prep her. It felt like he was sitting in hall for hours waiting for the nurse to come get him and tell him he could go in.

Once he was finally allowed in, he saw a million things that overwhelmed him for a second, but then he saw his fiancé, the love of his life, his Kate, lying on the table, IV in her arm, oxygen on her face, he immediately went to her, sitting down on the stool next to her head.

"Ready to meet the babies?" Dr. Riley asked.

"Of course," Kate said. He was still so overwhelmed and waiting to make sure his kids and fiance were ok.

Suddenly, he heard a cry fill the room.

"Congratulations," Dr. Riley said, holding up the little baby for the parents to see, "You have a little girl. She looks good."

A girl, Castle thought I was hoping for boys. What am I going to do with three daughters?

It wasn't that he didn't love Alexis, because he did, but he always imagined him and Kate with a little boy for him to hang out with and teach everything he wished his dad had taught him.

As Dr. Riley pulled the second little girl out, Kate told him to go make sure they were alright. He walked over to the tables where the girls were being cleaned and checked out.

After a few minutes, one of the nurses told him that the oldest of the twins was ready and asked if he would like to hold her. Of course, he said yes.

As he looked down at the tiny little girl, he felt his heart fill up with happiness and love just as it had with Alexis. Even though this wasn't the little boy he was expecting, the little girl he was staring at was his and Kate's, a perfect blend of the two of them together.

"I love you," he said, kissing her head, "I love you so much."

A few minutes later, another nurse came and asked if he would like to hold his youngest little girl.

He nodded and suddenly, he was holding both his little girls in his arms. They looked so similar. He knew that keeping them separate might be a challenge. However, he noticed that there was a birth mark on the older of the two's right ear that was on the younger one's left. It was small, but that mark, he knew, would probably be a life saver until the girls were older.

"They look fantastic," the pediatric doctor said, coming up to him, "Both healthy weight and good breathing. Both got 10's on the APGARS."

"Thank you," Rick said, staring down at his little girls.

"Their mom is getting ready to move to post-op. She is going to be out of it for a while and we need to get these two upstairs for a full evaluation. You are more than welcome to come with us."

So, after giving Kate a kiss and telling her how perfect their little girls were, along with letting her see both of them. "They need names Rick," she said, looking at him as they got ready to move her.

"I thought we picked them already," he said, "Remember?"

"Oh yeah," she said, the anesthesia clearly effecting her mental status, "Kendall Johanna and Brenna James."

"They are so perfect," Rick said, kissing Kate's forehead as she got ready to move.

"Keep them safe," Kate said as she was wheeled to recovery.

"Always," Kate said, looking down at his two perfect little girls.


I know it was short, but I think this story has 13 short chapters which I will post quickly. Anyways, hope you like it!
