Sherlock got out of the car and walked round the back of it to the other door. He opened the door and unbuckled
little John's seatbelt. He pulled him out of the car and carried him. John's
head rested on Sherlock's shoulder. Sherlock was surprised at how light the boy
was but he didn't say anything. He carried him as he followed John and the
woman and man inside the strange house.
Once inside they were taken to a room with three computers and there were two
people in there.
"Mr Watson and Mr Holmes are here. Something about the government."
They heard the woman talk to the man that was on the computer.
"Ok Mr Holmes what's this about your family?"
"My brother Mycroft is in charge of quite a lot in the government
basically I was trying to tell her that I knew how things worked and that we
want to adopt John... Not that My brother knows..."
"Right... Well first we will have to tell his family that we have taken
him off them but as you know won't take long but we will have to get his things
like his clothes and..."
"You don't need to unless he says he wants something we can buy new things
for him don't worry about that."
"Right... But we don't know whether he wants anything..."
Sherlock spoke into John's ear "come on John lets wake up now"
John woke up "No daddy I wasn't - Oh it's you." He tightened his grip
on Sherlock's neck pulling him into a tight hug.
"We need you to tell us if there's anything you want of yours that you
want us to get from your house."
"I have nothing there apart from clothes."
John asked "not even any toys?"
"Toys? No."
"Well you're going to have a lot of them when I'm done with you."
Sherlock said and then kissed his cheek.
The man spoke again "right well we've sent someone there. John are you
sure you want to go with these people?"
"Yes sir I like Sherlock and John very much. My new daddy's."
"Right."
A woman walked in and said "the kids said Sherlock Holmes and John wats-
wait they weren't...what?!"
"Yes I am John Watson and yes that is Sherlock Holmes."
"Hello, sorry I thought they were trying to trick me."
Sherlock spoke "clearly you've had a bad day and this is going to add to
it."
"Wh-what do you mean?" She asked
"Clearly you were hoping this was for a case... It's not." He turned
to the man at the computer "Can we leave now? I would like it if we could
buy him some clothes."
"Yes Mr Holmes you may go now."
"Would you like to walk John?"
"Ok."
Sherlock put John down and held his hand.
"Come on then." Sherlock said and walked out of the room. He looked
round to see John walking behind them smiling.
He grabbed John's hand and said in his ear "got my two Johns here"
John smiled and kissed him on the cheek. They walked out of the building with
Sherlock holding both the Johns' hands.
