Epilogue

Kate and Rick's Loft

SoHo, New York

A couple days later the baby gender revealing party was taking place in the loft. About 75 people or so were in the loft enjoying the atmosphere and the company. They complimented Rick and Kate on how well the party was planned out. Rick shrugged off the success and gave it where it was deserved. "It was all Kate and Alexis's planning that pulled this off."

For Kate and Rick's prediction about, Kevin, Jenny, Sarah Grace, and the newest addition to the Ryan family, they weren't there at the party. Jenny was still recovering from her C-Section. Yet the party was streaming live on social media for them to watch and at least from the hospital, make them feel apart of it. So at least they were there in spirit and in large part because of social media.

Rick found Alexis talking to the wife of Lt. Meyers, Kate's second in command. He tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me for a moment. Can I have a minute Alexis"

"Of course. Excuse me." Alexis said getting a nod from the women and her and Castle walked to a semi-quiet corner of the loft with no people around. "What's going on dad?"

"With everything that has been going on, I just want to make sure you are ok with this?" Castle said looking at his daughter with his blue eyes and concern on his face. "Kate being pregnant and all?"

"Of course dad. Why would you ask?" Alexis said in shock.

"I just realized I never…." Castle started to say.

Alexis placed her hands on her father's shoulders and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I am happy to be welcoming a new baby you know…."

Castle looked at her then saw why she stopped short of the gender. A guest was walking by. Castle just laughed. "Oh ok pumpkin. I wanted to make sure. Great job on the party by the way."

"Thank you." Alexis answered.

While Rick was talking to Alexis, Kate was circulating amongst the guest and exchanging conversation with them, when Martha asked Kate if she could spare a minute. After excusing themselves from the party, Kate and Martha were in Kate and Rick's bedroom. Kate looked at her mother in law. "Martha what is wrong?"

"Nothing dear. I'm just so happy you are doing this." Martha said. She pointed to the baby bump and the party. "You know expecting, and throwing this wonderful party, so I want you to be the first to know. I found a apartment that I am buying and shortly after the baby is born I will move into it."

"Oh no Martha we didn't want….." Kate started to say.

Martha chuckled. "Oh no dear, it's not because of that. I want you and Richard to have all the room available for the arrival of my newest grand….."

Marthal like Alexis stopped herself from saying the gender when the door opened and a person looking for the bathroom stopped themselves and excused themselves as well. Kate and Martha chuckled. "Anyway I will let Richard know later. I can tell you he will be thrilled."

"Thrilled about you getting your own apartment. Of course not, but I am proud of you mother." Castle said with a smile on his face. He saw the looks and chuckled. "Your realtor left a message on the business line."

"Oh son of a.." Martha started to say.

Castle quickly cut her off. "Come on Kate. Time to reveal the gender."

"Coming babe." Kate said with a smile and a kiss on Martha's cheek as they all proceeded to the island where everyone was being handed out cupcakes with plain white frosting on top. Once all the cupcakes were handed out, Castle and Kate stood in the middle of the room. Kate took a breath. "Alright thank you for showing up today for the baby gender revealing. Now each of you have a cupcake, and the count of three you will unwrap and take a bite. The color inside will be the gender. So if everyone is ready here we go. One, two, three."

Everyone quickly unwraps and takes a bite. Russell is the first to see the color. "Blue. Your having a baby boy."

"Correct we are a baby boy." Castle said beaming. The room erupted in a thunder of cheers and clapping. Castle brought his wife close and gave her a kiss on the lips. "It was a success babe."

"Yeah it was." Kate said with all smiles on her face.

An hour later the last the guest had left, as Kate finally was able to sit down longer than a few minutes. She threw her head over the back of the sofa. "Oh I am so glad that went well, but I'm so glad to be off my feet."

"I know you are. One last thing though." Castle said to his wife who lifted her head back up and looked to him. "Godparents; I was thinking Lanie, Russell, Ryan and Esposito."

Kate smiled as she nodded. "Same thing here too babe."

Castle smiled and sat down on the couch next to her and gives her a deep kiss. "That's why we are great together. We are on the same page."

"Well me and you are, but your son wants mommy to relax." Kate said as she placed Castle's hands on her belly. "He's active right now."

Castle chuckled. "Come on, I'll run your bath and start on clean up. Lanie, your Dad, mom and Alexis will be back up in a few minutes."

"Actually babe, I sent them away for the evening, and hired a cleaning crew for tomorrow." Kate said smiling meant only for him. That smile that was everything for the both of them. "Why don't you join me in the bath and maybe a little nap in bed?"

Castle smiled at his wife. "I think I could do that."

They shared a deep kiss as baby boy castle kicked his approval.
