Chapter 16 (Ella's POV):
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of violin and the smell of waffles. Rubbing my eyes I got up, surprised to find that I was still in Sherlock's flat. The music stopped and I heard Sherlock's comforting voice. *Good morning Ella. How did you sleep.* *Good, thanks Sherlock.* I continued frowned, I shouldn't be here. The orphanage would be so angry with me. I hastily started to put on my shoes, and grabbed my coat. *Ella where are you going?* He asked. *I have to get back to the orphanage Sherlock, they'll be so mad if I don't return. *Oh, don't worry Ella, I've called them and they know that you will stay with us today. *What?* *Yeah, don't worry. Breakfast is ready if you want to eat something.* I shrugged, happy to believe what he said. I kicked my shoes of and sat myself down at the breakfast table. I filled my plate with the delicious waffles and started to eat as Sherlock's music started again. I sighed contented.
A few minutes later John woke up and sat down next to me. *Good morning John.* *Good morning. How are you doing?* *Great.* We started to eat in silenced as we listened to Sherlock's violin. *Has Sherlock told you what we'll be doing today?* *You guys made plans?* I couldn't help smile at that, it had been a long time since I had done anything for fun. *Yeah, we were thinking about going to the cinema and to go eat something. That okay for you?* I nodded happily, stuffing my face full of waffles. When we were finished and we'd gotten dressed we left for the cinema. We had an amazing time, watching the movie "The theory of everything* afterwards they took me to the bookshop knowing how much I loved books.
I smiled happily as we walked towards the restaurant where we would eat our dinner. Sherlock and John holding hands at my one side, a bag with books at my other. Some people stared at them and others whispered, but I couldn't care less. I was so happy. I leaned closer to John as he put his arm around my shoulder. We entered the Chinese restaurant and settled down. After the food had arrived, Sherlock and John seemed to become very serious. *Uhm, Ella we need to talk.*
Oh god no, that's what my foster parents used to say when they wanted to kick me out. They'd always plan this lovely day and then give you the news, and I would never see them again. I didn't want to go through that again. *John and I have been thinking about your situation and have come to a decision.* *I understand.* I interrupted, dropping my head in defeat. *You don't need this. You guys are already so busy with all your unsolved crimes, you don't need an extra thing to watch out for. You don't have to explain. I'll leave.* I stood up, ready to leave but Sherlock grabbed my shoulder. *Ella, no. We don't want you to leave.* *We want you to stay.* John finished.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They wanted me to stay? *You, you, what?* *We want you to stay. We want you to become part of our family. Ella, we want to adopt you.* Shocked I put my hand over my mouth. They wanted me to be part of their family, I would have a family. I started to cry in happiness as I let my head rest on the table. This was such amazing news! Oh god! Oh god!
John got up and wrapped his arms around me. Sherlock carefully put his hand on my shoulder. I held them tight. *We would never ask you to leave. We care so much about you. But we would like your approval first.* *Of course, of course I would like to stay with you two! I* I couldn't believe this was happening, I never thought this would happen. The rest of the day I was so happy, I couldn't handle this excitement. After a while we went home. Our home.
