on the way home Sherlock remembered something and stopped.
He spoke "John I need to phone someone do you mind if you get down?"
"Ok daddy."
Sherlock placed John down and held his hand as he called Molly .
"Hello?"
"Hia Molly. Just wondering can you make sure there are no bodies or body
parts out within ten minutes?"
"Wh-what? Sherlock why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong Molly. Just make sure there are no dead body parts lying
around within ten minutes. Please?"
"Right ok Sherlock. See you in ten then I suppose." Sherlock hung up
after Molly did and picked John up again and put him on his shoulders.
"Are we running again?"
"Umm. No thank you."
Sherlock heard him yawn "are you tired?"
"N-no daddy."
Sherlock pulled John from off his shoulders and carried John he had John sat on his arm and John's face was on his shoulder facing his neck.
Sherlock whispered "it's ok. It's ok, go to sleep."
"You're not going to shout?"
"No. Go to sleep its fine."
John fell asleep after a few silent minutes. Sherlock looked at John and kissed
his cheek.
Soon they were at Saint Bart's. John was still asleep and Sherlock was thankful
for that.
"Sherlock what is wrong." Molly said when the door opened, she didn't
look at him though.
"I need help." He said and he knew she would turn around. Molly
looked and gasped.
"Sherlock, who's this?" She asked gesturing to John who had now given
Sherlock a dead arm.
"Me and John adopted. He's called John." Sherlock answered stroking
John's curly blond hair.
"He's so cute! How come you adopted him?" She asked and Sherlock
wasn't sure whether she was asking why they adopted John or why they adopted at
all.
"Erm... Molly, me and John... We're together."
"Yes...erm... I kind of knew that."
"Oh! Sorry I just... Confused myself obviously." Sherlock said
awkwardly.
Molly smiled at Sherlock. "It's fine. Just... How come? What's his
story?" She asked just as John started waking up.
"Sorry daddy didn't mean to fall asleep I didn't honestly."
John looked close to tears.
"No, no. It's me. Not your father, look at me love." Sherlock tilted
John's head up so John could see him.
"It-it's you..." John wrapped his arms around Sherlock's neck.
"Hey, shh it's okay." Sherlock kissed John's cheek. Molly stood
confused at what John said "it's just going to take some time for you to
get used to me and John being your daddy and dad. Okay, are you okay?"
"I'm fine... Where are we?"
"We're visiting mine and your dad's friend, Molly. Look she's behind
you"
John looked round to see Molly's smiling face.
"Hello John." Molly said taking hold of his hand and shaking it
gently.
"Hello."
"Molly, I have to ask you... Are you free tomorrow? Tomorrow being
Monday..." Sherlock asked putting John down.
"Yep I'm free tomorrow... Why?" She asked and Sherlock whispered into
her ear.
"We're having a birthday party for him. He's six, would you be able to
make it for twelve?"
"Of course!" She said smiling.
"Okay, also if Lestrade or anyone asks, either deny that me and other John
are a couple or tell them that you don't know. Okay?" Molly nodded and
crouched down to see John.
"So... How long have you been with Sherlock and John?" She asked
sweetly.
"Yesterday at tea time..." He said confused why she was asking.
"Oh... I like your top."
"It's a robot. Daddy bought me a robot yesterday!"
"Did he? Well I hope it's a good robot." Molly picked John up and
Sherlock watched. He was most definitely getting jealous but he wasn't about to
show it. "You're light aren't you? Well I'm sure daddy's going to take you
to get some food now."
"Food? In the day time?" He asked thoroughly confused, Molly's eyes
went wide and she just stared at the little boy in her arms until Sherlock
pulled him out of her arms.
"Yes John. Food in the day time. At lunch. So it's lunch time, yeah,
I'll take you to a restaurant?" Sherlock kissed John's cheek.
"Okay then daddy." John shrugged. Molly kissed them both on the cheek
before they left, whispering a good luck to Sherlock.
