"Sherlock this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of and furthermore why would you do this!" John watson asked Walking fastly to keep up with sherlock as walked up the steps to an orphanage in london.
"Because I need a child for this case to be solved" he said as he was about to knock, but john stopped him.
"No If you need an adopted child for a case than you don't adopted one, what do you plan to do with him once the case is solved hm?"
"Her"
"What"
"It's going to be a her I need a daughter." he said as he knocked on the door.
"This is not going to end well." he said as the door was opened by a nun.
"Ah Mr. holmes what is the nature of this sweet visit?" she asked as she lead them inside.
"Not a visit, you see I've been rethink my life would like to adopt a daughter from the orphanage."
"Oh! well splendid I'll go and get the girls.- Ladies come in here we have a couple who would like a child of their own!" she called as she moved out of the room and to visitor's room where the girls were.
"Couple!? Sherlock why on earth does everyone think this of us?" asked John once more annoyed that they are called a couple.
"Hush John." Was Sherlock's only reply as he walked into the other room.
"We're not a couple." john mutters under his breath, as he follows them into the other room.
In the room was about 20-40 girls all in blue plaid uniforms.
"hello!" they all said in unison.
For the following three hours Sherlock and John sat and spoke and listened to every girl at the house.
"well that was everyone here, and that Sara girl seemed very well together very smart and kind. I like her." Said John as the woman in charge of the orphanage came back into the room.
"So you want to apote Sara oh she will be so happy that you want her. I'll go tell her." she said turning to head out to get the girl.
"wait that was not every girl here. there is still one more that we never spoke to. she never came out to see us at all. the evidence is obvious that there is one more here from small object such as the number of shoes at the door to the fact that there is some one playing the violin rather well and no one mentioned they could play." said sherlock as he walked up the stairs to an open door. A girl wearing the same uniform as the others was inside playing a 3/4th violin, too small for her to still be playing at her size now, standing in front of the window. She had a full head of wavy curls that reached her shoulders and had cocoa brown skin. As if knowing who was listening to her she started to play a song that sherlock not only played rather well himself but very much enjoyed to hear played. The Devils Trill. Once she finished her excerpt of the song she turned to face them.
"Hello Mr. Holmes, . Are you here to adopt someone? Of course you are. no one come here unless the want a perfect new little girl for there home. and by the look of Mr. Watson he must think you should adapt sara. She is happy and carefree also very likeable, and easy to get along with, with Average high inteligentes." She started as Sara and a few other girls came up stairs.
"But you Mr. Holmes found none of them to your liking, bland and boring not ever one you could try and teach anything at all."
"LIKE ANYONE WOULD WANT TO ADOPT YOU MELODY!" yelled Sara moving past the adults to get into the room with the girl, Melody, "You're just jealous that your unwanted by anyone. Who would want some that's cold mean and never smiles not once ever."
"That's It! Both of you! No more of this constant fighting amongst you two." said the women.
"It's not fighting if I'm just observing what is happening like always. It's the same as Mr. Holmes does. Just stating the obvious." said melody moving to replace her violin.
"Dad." Said Sherlock.
"Excuse me?" Said everyone in the room at once.
"From now on you call me Dad. I'm Adopting you, Melody Holmes."
And with that for the first time anyone at the orphanage had seen Melody smiled.
