As John, Mycroft,  Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade all sat around the living quarters at 221B  each one had a look of confusion. Except for John who knew what was about to happen. Sherlock was about to tell those closest to him that he and Molly were in fact a couple and that Molly was 3 months pregnant with Twins.

Sherlock walked in the flat and acknowledged everyone as he went around pacing. Molly followed in shortly with a slight bump to her stomach that could pass for some extra weight . With Twins it was faster when it came to showing during a pregnancy. 

" Brother Mine .....this better be important. I had a meeting with the prime minister I pushed back because you texted me that it was urgent. This isn't about .....you know? Is it?" Mycroft asked as he gave a slight nervous glance at Molly then back to Sherlock. 

"What if it is ? Would you  treat the situation any different? It involves you and always will from now on so don't slither back into your hole you call an office and try to act like this isn't worth your time." Sherlock said going on the defensive.

"You're right.....I am sorry. Continue. " Mycroft said taken back by his brothers statement. Sherlock was right,this did involve him if only a small part . He was, after all, the Uncle and knew he had a duty to protect the child. Only it was two children now, but that bit of information Mycroft did not know.

"Sherlock what's wrong? Is something about to happen? " Lestrade asked rather confused . He didn't know whether they needed to be on alert for something or not.

"Yes ....something is about to happen. Molly will you please come here." Sherlock said as he held out his hand to Molly to come to his side.

" Molly........and ........ahem......uh Molly and I.......we .....we are......" Sherlock stumbled over his words as he tried to gather the courage to say what he needed . This was all new for Sherlock. A real relationship was something foreign to him .

"Pregnant."
"Together"
Molly and Sherlock both said at the same time . Molly had obviously lost her patience with the detective and decided to tell them about the pregnancy where as Sherlock informed them that they were together.

"WHAT?!?" Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson blurt out . It was obvious that John and Mycroft knew of the news but still feigned excitement.

Everyone started the congratulations for the two and called for drinks for the ones who could drink which was everyone except Molly.

"There is something  else.......I uh.....Molly.....Hooper....Molly Hooper ...." Sherlock stumbled a bit on his words and then let out a frustrated sigh. He knelt down on one knee in front of a very shocked audience even John and Mycroft were caught off gaurd on this one  with their eyes almost bulging out of their heads.

Sherlock pulled out a red velvet box from his pants pocket and opened the box to Molly. 

"I figured we may as well make it official since the twins will be here before we know it. Will you marry me Molly Hooper?"
Sherlock asked as he gave her a cute innocent smile.

 Will you marry me Molly Hooper?" Sherlock asked as he gave her a cute innocent smile

Molly was lost for words as she wasn't expecting this at all . Finally she found her words

"Yes." She said and smiled at him . As he placed the ring on her finger and stood up it was Mycroft who spoke up rather loudly and in shock.
" WAIT....... DID YOU SAY TWINS?!?"

 DID YOU SAY TWINS?!?"
