Months later. . .
Sherlock and Melody shared a kiss, staring down at their creation in awe with tears in their eyes. They welcomed William Brian Holmes into the world; William after Sherlock, and Brian after Melody's father.
   After that incident with Sarah making Melody go into surgery, she woken up shortly getting healthy at the end. And then they created William. Sherlock was shocked at first, but soon got over it and fully supported it. He loved Melody; anything for her - including having a child with her. Deep down inside of him, he wanted her child and he didn't admit that until William was born.
   "I finally got what I wanted." Sherlock murmured. "A happy ever after. With you. And a family."
   "Yeah. . ." Melody sighed blissfully, smiling down at their son. "He's so beautiful."
   "He's going to have your gold eyes." Sherlock told her. "I just know it."
   "He's going to have your hair." she added. "Look, his hair is starting to curl already."
   "Are you sure they're supposed to be this small?" Sherlock narrowed his eyes at his son. "He seems too small."
   "He's a perfect size, Sherlock."
   "I don't think so."
   "You watched the videos about babies -don't deny it, I saw your history- about their size."
   "I know, I know. It's just -" he sighed. "I don't like it. He looks so fragile."
   "And he has you as the father." she smiled up at him. "No one will harm him if he has a 'sociopath' as a father, an ex-military man, and his ex-assassin wife as his godparents - and don't forget his uncle that is basically the British Government. I think he and I will be safe."

Years later. . .
"Sherlock, come here!"
   "What, what is it?" Sherlock quickly rushed to her side from doing an experiment on human eyeballs. She was sitting on the floor in the living room with William across from her, playing with a baby magnifying glass (present from Lestrade as a joke saying William is the next 'Consulting Detective'). "Are you okay?"
   "I'm fine." she laughed. "It's William! He's going to say his first word!"
   "Ooh, really?" Sherlock sat beside her and grabbed out his phone to record the moment.
   "I think he was going to say Mama." Melody grinned. She turned back to their toddler. "Come on, William. Say it again! Ma. . .ma."
   "Mmmmmmm!" William hummed. "Muuurrrr!"
    "Maaaaa." Melody drawled out slowly. "Ma, not mur." Sherlock slightly lowered his phone in realisation at what his son was trying to say. He hid his grin and focussed the camera on his son again.
   "Come on, come on." Sherlock mumbled under his breath.
   "Ma. . .ma."
   "Muuuurrr. . .da!"
   "What?" Melody frowned. Sherlock looked away while biting his lip, trying to muffle his laughter.
   "Muuuuurrrrda! Muuurrrrd. . .er! Muurrder! Mur-der! Murder!"
   "What!" Melody shrieked.
   "Murder! Murder! Murder!" William chanted with a proud smile. At the look of accomplishment on his son's face, and the look of horror on Melody's face, Sherlock bursted out laughing, rolling around on the ground, phone long forgotten.
   "Sherlock!" Melody yelled.
   "I can't believe it worked!" Sherlock exclaimed through his laughter. "Oh my God. . ."

Flashback
"These murders are just simply fantastic." Sherlock ranted happily, pacing around. John glanced at William unsurely, who was sitting on Sherlock's chair with his bottle in his mouth.
   "Um. . .are you sure we should be talking about this in front of William -?"
   "Two unique murders in one day!" Sherlock continued. "Amazing!" William made a coo that sounded much like an agreement. "Even my son agrees, John!" Sherlock swooped down and grabbed his son. "That's what I want your first word to be, mini-me. 'Murder'."
   "Mmmmmm." William hummed. Sherlock grinned, planting a kiss on his forehead.
   "You'll get there."
Flashback over

"William Sherlock Scott Holmes, I can't believe you taught our son that word!" Melody seethed. "I am going to kill you!"
   "Murder!"
   "William is right." Sherlock nodded. "That would be murder."
   "Sherlock. . ." Melody growled, glaring at him.
   "Look," he chuckled, "I'm sorry, okay? It was a small experiment if it would actually work - and it surprisingly did."
   "One of these days, Sherlock." Melody mumbled, shaking her head with a small smile. "One of these days you are going to get killed. Possibly by me."
   "Murder!" William exclaimed. Melody closed her eyes in annoyance at the sound of Sherlock's snickers.
   "I love you." Sherlock said innocently.
   "I tolerate you."
   "Murder!"
