Author's notes: We hope you enjoy this! This is a story made by me ( Sophlock ) and Femke ( JustFemke ).
Anyway, hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Sir Conan Doyle created all the wonderful characters, and the BBC gave them their good looks. We only created the story; the rest belongs to them.
Chapter 26- Our son
Hamish touched Sherlock's arm gently, reminding the loving couple that he was there.
The detective pulled away a bit and looked down at the adorable Hamish "Yes Hamish we haven't forgotten about you..."
John smiled at the pair as the baby just stared back with huge, sharp eyes.
Sherlock let go of John and wandered into the bathroom and picked some dry towels and shampoo. He came back and added the items to the swimming bag. "Come on Hamish... Swimming with daddy and dad!" Hamish clapped his hands in excitement in reply.
The army doctor grinned at how sweet the baby was "What colour are the trunks?"
"They're all blue..." The taller man was balancing the baby on his hip and nuzzling his nose against the baby's head.
John watched with a grin "I thought you would go for black." He chuckled.
"Apparently I was banned from buying black for Hamish..." Sherlock looked up and grinned back at his boyfriend, the three looked like a perfect little family, everyone smiling and everyone happy.
"I meant for us stupid" The blogger laughed and moved a bit closer again so he could play with Hamish's curls gently.
"I wanted the same as Hamish..." Sherlock blushed a bit as he glanced at John and Hamish.
"Now we are all going to wear blue.. family blue..." John smiled, he loved it when Sherlock was sentimental like that. It didn't happen much so he had to make the most of it.
"Ok..." The dark haired man smiled back and kissed his son on the head as well as kissing his boyfriend's hand that was buried in the curls.
John looked into his partner's eyes, they were both smiling, but it wasn't fake, they were smiling with their eyes too. The army doctor pulled away and went over to the coats, got his own and put it on.
Sherlock didn't want his coat but he took one of Hamish's and dressed the baby in it. He took the baby's travel carrier and gently secured the boy into it so he was safe.
"Lets go!" John grinned at the baby's adorable clothes. He started walking down the stairs.
The taller man grabbed the bags in his free hand, carried the baby seat in the other and followed John onto the street after locking the flat up.
The army doctor hailed a cab and let Sherlock and Hamish get in before getting in himself. "Westways Leisure Centre please." In between the two men, Hamish wriggled in his seat as he looked around with a sweet baby smile.
John leant back in his seat and looked at his son with a smile.
"What are you looking at?" Sherlock frowned a little and looked at where John was looking.
"No just... our son..." The shorter man looked up at his partner, still beaming his head off.
"Oh..." The detective smiled back "Yes, our son..."
John reached over the baby seat and slipped his relatively small hand into Sherlock's huge one. The detective used his thumb to gently rub circles on his partners hand, as the two looked into each other's eyes again, smiling softly.
"I'm going to love this" The blogger looked down at their son, who was happily stretching and moving in his own little baby way.
"I know you are..." The detective grinned cheekily "Of course you are, you get two hours of looking at me topless..."
"Yes I do..." John tried to pull the 'Sherlock Holmes, I want to have sex with you.' face, that Sherlock had shown him, as he let go of the other man's hand.
Sherlock laughed heartily "See, that was the face!"
"Really? Did I do that yesterday? Oh god..." John groaned and blushed as he imagined what he must have looked like.
"Yes!" Sherlock grinned at the blush that was appearing on his partner's face. The army doctor was slowly turning the colour of a lovely cherry tomato. Sherlock raised his eyebrows seductively "I'd like to see it again though..."
John rolled his eyes before pulling it again for a second before looking away as he burst out chuckling.
"I meant at home idiot..." The taller man joined in the laughter.
"Oh..." The blogger looked back at Sherlock and grinned brightly. He loved it when they laughed around like this.
"Can we get rid of the one kiss on the cheek a week thing? Seen as you've definitely broken it..." Sherlock smiled hopefully at his partner.
"Fine.." John tried to sound grudging but he was actually so thankful he could get rid of that damn rule. He'd regretted making it in the first place!
"Good." The detective beamed as he inwardly sighed in relief that the rule was removed.
The small family arrived at the leisure centre, it was large, with two separate pools, one for fun with slides, and one for classes, such as the parent and toddler one they would be attending. "This looks nice! Doesn't it Hamish?" Sherlock picked the car seat and the baby up and got out of the black cab, leaving John to pay.
The army doctor paid the cabbie with a tip and got out of the cab and walked towards the entrance with his boyfriend and son.
With the swimming bag on his shoulder, Sherlock carried the baby seat in one hand and took John's hand with the other as they walked up to the door.
The army doctor looked at the entwined hands as he opened the large glass door.
"What?" Sherlock walked inside, instantly smelling the Chlorine in the pool, 'Oh, there's smell of the inorganic chlorinating agents; calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite.'
"I like your touch, you know that?" John smiled as they walked to the reception "Three for the parent and toddler class please." They paid for the class before starting to walk to the changing rooms.
"Do you?" The detective looked down and squeezed John's hand gently.
"Yes very much" The army doctor looked up at his taller boyfriend and smiled.
Sherlock smiled back as they walked towards the men's changing room, ignoring the glances they got from people "I'll touch you more often then..."
"Really?" John lead them into a family sized changing room.
"If it's what you want..." The dark haired man put Hamish's seat on a bench with the bag.
"You don't have to.." The army doctor smiled at Hamish as he started taking his clothes off.
"I want to... I want to see you happy..." Sherlock started taking his clothes off too.
"Oh, but I'm always happy with you!" It was true, John had blessed the day he'd met the great Sherlock Holmes, he would never wish he could get rid of it and never meet such an amazing man.
Sherlock frowned "No you're not, that's why you shout at me, or punch me, or don't kiss me..."
John smiled at the confused look on his boyfriend's face. "No, I do that because I love you" he took his trousers off.
"Oh ok..." Sherlock took his shirt off ad started on his smart, black trousers.
John pulled his pants off and glanced around, he couldn't see the bag. He had a sudden gut feeling that they had left it. "Sherlock.. where is the bag...?"
Sherlock replied without looking up "Next to Hamish."
The blogger smiled and took the bag, selected the largest pair of blue trunks and slid them on. He spread his legs wide and planted his hands on his hips, grinning like an idiot "Ok, how do I look?"
"Hot. I'd rather be alone with you instead of being with all these other idiots..." Sherlock took his trousers and underwear off and put his trunks on too "D'you want to do Hamish?"
John laughed as he scooped Hamish out. Of the baby seat and used the baby changing table to undress him and put on his special baby nappy trunks.
The detective wrinkled his nose as he looked down at himself "How do /I/ look?"
John looked at his partner and grinned "Definitely turns me on." He went back to sorting Hamish out.
"Really?" The dark haired man laughed as he watched the baby wriggling a little.
"Yep!" The blogger finished with his son and grinned at how sweet he looked "Isn't he cute?"
"Of course he is!" Sherlock neatly packed all of the clothes into the bag.
"Lets go!" The army doctor smiled excitedly, he was like a little kid in a sweet shop.
"Ok..." The detective grabbed the bag and scooped his son into the other arm "Bring the carrier for me?" He lovingly nuzzled his nose on Hamish's, making the baby giggle.
"Ok!" John took the baby seat. He smiled at what Sherlock did, he was such a good dad, and it was adorable to watch! He went to the lockers.
The dark haired man followed with Hamish and put the bag in the locker with the seat. "This better be interesting..."
"It will!" The army doctor smiled reassuringly as he locked the locker.
"Fine..." The family went to the shower section of the leisure centre. "Hey Hamish, don't worry it's just water..."
The baby looked around quietly, scared of the huge building and so many people. John went under a shower and wet all of his soft sandy hair.
Sherlock stood under a shower with Hamish. He held his hand so it defended the baby's eyes from the spray, even though it meant the water went in his own eyes.
"Come on" John grinned and took his boyfriend's free hand as they walked to the training pool. Sherlock squeezed John's hand gently and looked down at him with a smile, he was really going to try this, even if it didn't turn out well, at least he could say he tried.
