I Think We Need Counseling

Chapter 22

POV Sherlock

I sat up in bed with such force that I threw John off of myself.

"Sherlock what the bloody hell is wrong with you?" my husband asked as he picked himself off the floor.

"John! We're getting a kid!" I shouted as I leaped out of bed and pranced about the room.

I couldn't help it, I was too happy!

John was laughing at me but I didn't care!

I was going to be a father!!!

"John can we go now? Please? Can we go now? John! John! John?!" I kept bugging him and pestering him. I knew he'd get mad but  I was just so ecstatic right now that I was literally bouncing off the fricking walls!

"Sherlock pipe the hell down!" John yelled from the kitchen as he handed me a cup of tea and sat down.

"I can't!" I shouted back, not angrily just... EXCITED!!!!!!

"Look Sherlock, we are going to the adoption center with Mycroft, Greg, Molly and Jim later. You know this. Now if you don't pipe down I'll leave you here and go by myself!" John shouted as he handed me breakfast.

"You wouldn't dare!" I gasped as I set the plate on the table. I was to excited to eat.

"Try me." he said, his voice in that tone that meant "I-was-a-soldier-I-killed-people-now-you-better-listen!" I sighed.

"Fine but I'm just so... HAPPY!" I shouted throwing my arms in the air for emphasis.

"I know Sherlock I know." John said happily as he curled up next to me on the couch and basically force fed me my breakfast.

POV Molly

Jim was already awake when I got up. I could smell eggs and tea from our room.

I wrapped myself in our sheet and made my way downstairs to find him at the table reading the paper.

"Morning!" I said as I helped myself to some eggs and plopped myself in his lap. He wrapped his arms and the newspaper around me while I ate.

"Good morning!" he said as he leaned in for a kiss.

I kissed him gently. His lips were so warm...

"Excited for today?" I asked when he'd pulled away and had gone back to his paper.

"Ecstatic! How about you?" I nuzzled into his shoulder and nodded.

We had been preparing for this for 2 weeks, buying toys, books, beds, clothes all sorts of things. I was a little nervous but as ready  as I'd ever be.

"What are you reading?" I asked as I scanned the paper.

"I'm looking for a job..." he trailed off quietly. My jaw dropped.

"Why?"  I questioned. We had tons of money thanks to his, previous job, why was he looking for one now?

"Because I want our kids to live a normal life, with a father who has a normal job. Someday I'll have to tell them about how I got the money that will put them through college but until then they'll need an answer for "What does your dad do?" he looked down but I leaned in and kisses him.

"You'll be a good dad." I whispered as I pulled away.
