"Daddyyy" John heard a cry from the other room. Y/n was calling him. Rubbing his eyes, he got out of bed and went to his daughter bedroom to see what was going on.

He opened the door and saw y/n in her bed crying desperately. Worried he quickly got near her and stood on his knees to get on her eye level.

"Shhh, baby what happened?" He asked tenderly. "I had a nightmare daddy, it was scary" she whispered. He picked her up and started walking up and down the room, and y/n stopped crying.

"What was in the dream  that scared you darling?" He asked stroking her hair. Y/n stuttered a response:  "T-the bad guy wanted to kill you and Sherlock. I don't want you to die daddy, I don't want it." She started crying again. John frowned. He knew the "bad guy" was Moriarty, and it killed him seeing her daughter suffering for his unusual job. He sighed, knowing he couldn't do much about it. "Don't worry y/n, daddy's here, I will never leave you" she calmed down a bit.

"Come on, you can sleep in the big bed with me tonight". John took her to his room and gently lay her on the right side of the bed, he slept on the left. The room was full of suits and sweaters. On a shelf opposite the bed John had placed his after shave, his hair gel and oh- a gun, but don't mind that it's normal here, really.

Y/n snuggled up in the covers, they smelled of fresh mint. John went on the other side of the bed and covered both of them with the heavy blanket. "Good night little star, and don't worry any more, daddy's here keeping you safe" he said. y/n placed herself on her fathers comfy chest, and John hugged her. Cuddled up like that, they shifted away to sweet sleep.
