Chapter 15 (John's POV):
These weeks had been hectic. Sherlock and I were a couple, in secret. Well not anymore. We had been discussing Ella and the entire adoption think and now, Ella had finally decided to tell us. She had been so broken and cried. So I held her carefully. When she fell asleep Sherlock got up. *I'll get us some tea and call the orphanage to tell them that she'll be staying with us tonight.* He put a blanked around us and went into the kitchen. I heard him talk on the phone, after a while he seemed to get angry. He gave me the tea and went downstairs. I could hear him yelling angrily at the orphanage. I sipped at my tea carefully stroking her head. She might be sleeping but the tears were still falling.
When Sherlock came back he explained the situation, apparently the orphanage didn't know that Ella had been going to them, they thought she stayed with some friends, they wanted to come again, but apparently he had given them Mycroft's phone number. The thought of Mycroft getting a phone call of a very angry orphanage made me smile softly. Sherlock had taken a seat and it was quiet. As I looked at us I couldn't help but smile. It might not be official but we looked like a little family. Ella sleeping without any problem on my lap. Sherlock at her side carefully sipping some tea. It was just such a cute picture.
*Sherlock, we need to talk, let's go to the kitchen.* I whispered. I carefully maneuverer from under Ella and we headed to the kitchen. *Sherlock I think I know what we should do about Ella. And I think you know it too.* Sherlock nodded agreeing. *Are you sure John? I mean I think you're right but we should think about this good before we do this. I don't really want to screw up. * *Sherlock we've been thinking about this for weeks. And I think we both wanted to do this from the start. We should adopt her Sherlock. She practically comes her nearly every day. If she is her daughter we can change her from schools, keep a close eye on her and she won't be alone anymore. I think she would want this to.*
*Okay, we'll start getting things in order. Do you want to stay in this flat?* I didn't understand why he would ask that. Why would we want to leave? *Yeah, of course. Why shouldn't we? **Because we only have 2 bedrooms.* I turned bright red, I knew what I wanted to propose but the entire gay thing was still a little strange and new for me. *We could, we could. Uhm… We could share a bed.* I saw Sherlock smirk. *Oh John Watson, what are you suggesting?* he raised his eyebrow. *You know what I mean Sherlock. We've practically been sharing the bed the last few days, and then Ella has her own room. **Good idea, we'll have to get a queen size bed but that won't be probably. But for now I'll get our dinner.* He gave me a quick kiss and left. A smile still playing around my lips I went to sit in my couch grabbing a book. Life was turning out great, strange but great
