Hey little humans or big humans. I have barley had this story up for a day and already 1,000 people have looked at it. That blew my mind so this is my little thank you. Enjoy
Sherlock adjusted his microscope to get a better view at the blood cells for his newest case. An old man had been shot 27 times in the chest for apparently no reason. Sherlock was examining his blood for mercury to see if it could have been his landlord when he felt his pants leg being tugged on. He looked up from his microscope and looked down. His son Remington was looking at him with his mothers eyes. Damn those eyes
"Is there something you want Remington" Sherlock asked. Remington raised his hands above his head and rapidly open and closed his hands.
"Up" he said. Sherlock internally groaned.
"If I pick you up your just going to make me put you back down" he said.
"Up daddy up" the little boy kept repeating. Sherlock sighed and bent to the boys whim. He picked the little boy up and raised him to the ceiling.
"Is that high enough" he jokingly asked. The little boy was laughing and giggling as Sherlock lowered him down and put him on his hip.
"Down" the little boy said. Sherlock rolled his eyes and out him down. This kid was going to kill him. Suddenly Sherlock heard footsteps coming from the hallway. His other son Wellington came walking towards him rubbing his eyes and wrapped in his blanket.
"Where's mummy" he asked.
"At work" he told him. The little boy yawned.
"Why can't she stay here, like you" the 6 year old asked.
"She is a pathologist and I am a consulting detective. Those are two very different jobs which means two different areas of work. I can work here while she has of work in a morgue" Sherlock replied. Wellington yawned again which didn't escape Sherlock's notice.
"Why don't you go back to sleep its a Saturday" he asked. The boy shook his head.
"No I promised Remmy I would help him hone his deduction skills" said the boy. Sherlock shook his head.
"Fine, but you know the rules, don't make anyone cry, don't make anyone want to slap you, and most importantly don't point out incredible personal stuff" he said as he returned his attention back to the microscope.
"But you never follow the rules" the boy pointed out.
"That's because I can't tell what personal or not, but you two can" he replied. The boy huffed but then grabbed his brother and shot off towards the couch and turned on the Tv. Sherlock had found what he was looking for in the blood. Enough mercury to defiantly kill him, the shots must have been a cover up. Sherlock pulled out his phone.
It's the landlord. The shots where a cover up- SH
Sherlock out it back in his pocket and started to clean the slide and put away the microscope when his phone buzzed.
Good work. I have another case for you. Teen's severed head found under a 18 wheeler. I'll send a babysitter for the boys- GL
Sherlock typed a reply, but didn't press send. He looked over at his sons.
"Ok Remmy. What can you tell from that woman's hair cut" asked Wellington.
"She cheated on the guy with the bladder problem with the woman who owns 14 cats" the other boys replied.
"Perfect, but you forgot to mention that you can tell that the guy with the bladder problems is cheating on her with the girl owns 14 cats" he pointed out.
"Why do they do that" asked the little boy.
"Sentiment, a thing that ordinary people like" said the older kid. Sherlock laughed to himself and erased his text. He instead wrote a new one.
Dull. I'm going to work on some unfinished cases- SH
Sherlock put his phone back in his pocket and walked over to the boys.
"I noticed that either of you examined his third belt loop you would see that he obviously has a disease that he contracted from another person who isn't present. It seems to be a love triangle of sorts"
All three of them stayed like that all day, deducing crappy reality shows. It was creepy and weird but it was one of the most adorable things ever.
Was it good. I really like to read stories about Sherlock or any character interacting with their children. Anyway it's what I give to express my gratitude that you all seem to like this stuff I write. Leave I comment if you are so inclined and as always. Thanks For Reading
