When they arrived at the hospital, a crowd met the famous duo, but cleared out on D.I. Lestrade's commands. The nurses who came to their aid escorted Mycroft out gently, careful since he'd become dizzy from blood loss.
"How are you doing ?" A nurse asked.
"mhhhmmmhhhfff I just to rest a while I think" Mycroft replied. "Just get to my brother"
"Sir, you both need attention, come along" He looked over at his brother who'd begun arguing with a nurse, no matter how tired or weak he was, he certainly could make a point.
"No, she's fine with me, she's my daughter!"
"Sherlock, I'll stay with her, let go of the baby, she needs to be thoroughly looked over"
"Thank you sir, I promise, I take care of many children, I can assure you your baby will be fine" With plenty of hesitation , he allowed for the child to be taken from him, as long as it was John who was carrying her to the room.
Sherlock was helped onto a rolling bed just as his brother was now being carted on, and took the softness of the bed with pleasure.
Mycroft, Sherlock, and Adira were all found to be healthy, would be staying over- night, and going home the next day. The man who'd nearly held the Holmes brothers hostage was never found, and never looked for, and the two indeed, never spoke of it.
The next morning, Sherlock had woken up in the hospital bed, the events of the day before rushing back to him as he felt how sore he remained, sitting up. A small moan escaped his lips, ending up louder than he intended as a sleeping figure in the chair next to the bed stirred. John, standing up and stretching, leaned over to lay a soft kiss on his Sherlock's forehead.
"Good morning Sherlock"
"Hmmmm, morning" The raven haired man mumbled, a small smile ever so slightly stretching his lips.
"Would you like a shower? The nurse set out some stuff for you in the bathroom there" John helped him up, leading Sherlock over to be cleaned up. He stopped for a moment in seeing he was nearly flat once more, though the after contractions were still bringing him down to normal size. It was odd, without that extra weight. In this thought, he spun around slowly to the small box beside the bed filled with soft looking white blankets.
"Yes, in a moment" He smiled again in seeing his daughter, also awake now, but not fussing, simply looking about the room curiously. He bent down and kissed her forehead and one of her hands which were waving around. "I'll be back in little bit, be good for your dad now"
In a half hour, steam poured out of the shower as Sherlock stepped out wearing loose jeans and a dark blue sweater john had picked up after they'd first come to the hospital. Fluffing his hair with a towel, he caught sight of john holding Adira, rocking her gently as a nurse instructed him how she would be fed. He was about to say something when the world spun around him, a gray mist clouding his vision. John would have leapt out of the chair a lot quicker had he not been holding the baby as Sherlock collapsed to the ground.
According to updates, the concussion wasn't exactly as minor as they had hoped. Another day would be spent in that room, with more watching over him. Mycroft came in once (arm in a sling and bullet wound healing perfectly), as well as their mother who about flipped a desk at the sight of the grandchild she had no idea was going to exist. When the crew left, Sherlock was checked over once more for any more head ailments, finding out he was just fine, as long as he relaxed and did not exert himself.
Noon the next day rose at the same time a certain new family walked into 221B, both new parents settling down as Adira Sophie Holmes was given her next feed in the living room of the flat. Sherlock had been hesitant at first, but he was able to hold her correctly in order to feed her the bottle of formula. had gone into a joyful mood the moment they showed up with their new daughter, helping them get settled in.
Later that night, John updated his blog, adding the story of what happened and Adira's birth information, as well her beautiful description. This was the beginning of their next, most exciting adventure, the adventure of Adira Holmes.
