Rick and Kate are elated to start their family together, and are even more overjoyed when they welcome a precious baby boy into their lives. The ties within the Castle family are unbreakable, but the road ahead, although destined to be filled with delightful, unforgettable memories and moments, will not always be smooth. AU Rated high T for tame adult situations.

Set during season 7. Rating subject to change.

"Can we go back a second? Why would we be dancing to Witchcraft?" "'Cause it's our song." "Since when?" "Since we sang it at the karaoke bar in the Hamptons last summer." -Rick & Kate, episode 6x17, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I own neither Castle nor Sinatra's song.

"Though she'd made love with Castle countless times in the past, this particular instance felt so familiar to Kate, giving her an eerie but pleasant sense of déjà vu."
