Excellent ending for this story. After all that happened here, it’s quite apt that it ended on Father’s Day. Come to think about it, this story was full of celebrations, we had vacations, birthdays, and births, Mother’s Day, and graduations and finally Father’s Day. I love that.
It’s not the first time they celebrate this way Father’s Day, but I’m all for making it a tradition. I just can’t see them old enough to not enjoy that anyway.
I enjoyed their gifts. And also seeing Jim being there for this.
And finally, I loved how they all made plans to spend time alone with Josie, that girl is going to be soooooo spoiled, in a good way.
I don’t know what you have for us in your next story, but I can’t wait to find out.

So far the outing is great!... I’m glad that Jim is going to the batting cages... like Beckett said he might have to get used to being there on a more “I’m living here now not visiting” feeling... I’m glad Jim had enough sense to get everyone to walk away from Kate while feeding Josie... hey a past life flashback!...the way you’ve written Casketts love scene?... this is phenomenal... the flashback as foreplay...tastefully written as usual... great writing as usua!

Congrats on a fantastic story.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Love love the flashbacks of their previous lives.
Hot and loving and sensual back then and now .

Rick and Kate could not be any other way really, when you find what makes you whole in mind body and soul that is the only way you can love .

Rick and Kate love for each other is eternal as is their love of their family

I enjoyed this chapter greatly, after I finished groaning when I remembered Meredith was going to be there. She had to, I know, I’m just grateful she was her un likable self, and didn’t make any nasty comments. Though I’m happy the meeting was short, I still think it was rude not to introduce her husband, and mostly rude for him, but who cares? She’s gone for the time being.
I enjoyed the ceremony, and laughed at the fact that Julia was getting bored. That stuff happens a lot. It never occurred to me that Eliza couldn’t be in the room, sometimes I forget she’s still only five. It’s good Castle recorded the ceremony for her and Jim, and by the way, I’m kinda sad he didn’t see Alexis graduating, but let’s face it, there was no other way to do it with Josie there. He was the only reasonable option.
And finally, I knew Skye was gonna be there, since she offered to fly them thee, but the mini concert... that one I wasn’t expecting, and loved it. I don’t know if it’s a preview for the real album, or that’s all we get, but I hope we can see that again.
I can’t wait to see what’s next, now that Alexis is back home.

I’m happy that Caskett is getting a chance for themselves...it was really cute how eager Litzy was to share her graduation with Alexis...I know Kate is happy with being able to ride her horse again...super soakers are my favs... I had three growing up...the letter for Jules from Kate was a sweet touch...awe Alexis is graduating... rick is low key nervous lol not really...flashback! Alexis is coming home! Dr. Castle is in the house...I’m happy Meredith showed up that’s the least she can do...SKYE! Paul! These last two chapters are great... Julia’s dairy entry is cute...again I’m glad Caskett are back to their normal selves (intimately)... tastefully written as usual... great writing as usual!

A sweet sweet update

I could picture the recording session and how much fun everyone involved was having.
I could feel even Paul was enjoying the company and the family atmosphere of the session

So good that they Alexis is now along with Louis going to be so close to all the people that not only Alexis but Louis love

Fantastic

I have just finished your story " And in the end "
Fantastic and amazing and wow I wish that is how they would have resolved the Bracken storyline .

Just started " Save the last dance for me " and you have me on the edge already only a few chapters in , amazing

HAHAHA sorry about the side note on your other stories, but I am slowly catching up and I am so happy and impressed with the growth in your writing and the complexity of the storylines of this series of stories.

Thank you for giving us who we could all envision Rick and Kate and their family becoming, always.

Thank you for sharing

Fantastic update

Love how you have them all be there for Alexis and Louis graduation from Oxford university with their Doctorate degrees

I will also admit to having some trepidation about Meredith showing up hahaha
You surprised me I was expecting some hijinks from her .
Though she didn't pull anything you could still feel her animosity, hostility towards Kate and the girls especially Josie

You had me smiling with how Alexis and Louis are with each other , you can feel how much they adore / love each other.

:)) going to the studio to see Skye and Sir Paul .
Them taking advantage of being there so Kate can photograph the small session and get the pictures for a possible album cover ( vinyl is back in ) and I would also assume a documentary style coffee table book
Happy that they also have met Stella.

Exciting for Julia to have the honor of Paul having her pick out 4 songs for the mini concert for the Castle and McCollough families

Very nice
Thank you

I like how Paul loves the idea of sharing his music.

Good writing. Great songs that was chosen.

Really good chapter. I can’t believe they both graduated already! Time really flies by, doesn’t it?
I loved everything about this chapter, from the horse riding at the beginning, which everyone missed, I’m sure, to the talk between Julia and her friends after the ceremony, but most of all I enjoyed the party.
I wasn’t expecting water guns, and, though there have been more people in other occasions, I’m quite sure that they were still enough people to make a really good water fight.
I also wasn’t expecting Alexis to be graduating right after her sisters, and I’m loving that, actually. They have one more graduation to attend, and then they’ll have Alexis back for good. I’m very eager for that.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Sweet at the beginning with everyone just enjoying being together and celebrating that their children have completed another school year

Then you had me laughing out loud with Kate and Rebecca talking with Lily about helping Lily and Brad have their reconnect adult time after having baby Sophie

Then we go from sweet to HOT and sensuous with Rick and Kate continuing with the rediscovery of them together physically

Fantastic and amazing

Thank you for sharing

:)))))

Beautifully written look at first Eliza graduation kindergarten and then Julia moving up from middle school and on the way to the 7th grade

Love how you have all their friends and the kids come over for a celebration BBQ

HAHAHA super soakers and the all the parents joining in I could so see it
Would have been funny with Jim and Martha joining in , priceless really

Fun chapter

Thank you

I like how they enjoy the horses.
