Sherlock sat in a chair in the hospital room staring at an empty bed . His fingers were steepled in front of his mouth as he stared blankly . Thinking back to the events that led up to this was driving him mad. Tears welled in his eyes and he blinked to clear them causing a lone tear to roll down his cheek.

John walked in with a worried look on his face.
" Sherlock.....they need you in the operating room. It's time." John said as he walked up to the chair Sherlock was in.
" I can't do this , John.  I'm not ready.  What if I'm no good at this . I'm a horrible person to be around and my people skills are non existent.  How can I be a father to them? " Sherlock said looking up at John. 

"You may be hard to get along with for most people Sherlock, but these children will love you unconditionally and I know you will do the same . Go on then .....they are waiting for you." John motioned for Sherlock to leave the room and watched as his friend walked out of the door to the Operating room.

Sherlock entered to operating room to see Molly on the table being prepped for her c section . The twins wouldn't be able to be delivered naturally because Molly showed signs of stress and so did the twins. They would have to be taken out this way to prevent complications. Sherlock locked eyes with his wife who seemed nervous and he gave her a slight smile .

"Mr. Holmes if you would stand next to her we can hand the babies to you when they are out. " the nurse said motioning for him to stand next to Molly.

Minutes later as Sherlock was quietly comforting Molly he heard the first cry. Molly started crying as well and Sherlocks eyes filled with tears.
"It's a Boy. " the doctor said as he held the boy up for Sherlock to hold. 

Sherlock looked down at the little baby and tears streamed his face.  The boy had light brown hair and He could tell it was Molly's color. He was a father now, whether he liked it or not and he felt something he thought he would never feel, pure Joy.

The nurses let Molly see him and then took him to be cleaned up . Then another cry could be heard and Sherlock looked up quickly with his eyes lit up.

"It's a .."
"Girl." Sherlock said before the doctor could with pure shock on his face. He had expected maybe two boys but never expected he would ever have a daughter let alone any kids. His heart swelled even more as the doctor  handed him the little girl. Her hair was dark  and her eyes already looked a gorgeous blue. This was him made over .

He looked at Molly as the nurses took the babies to be cleaned and she smiled up at him.

" Willa and Locke. Those are the names I want. I  hope that's Ok? " Molly said with a smile.

"Of course . I don't see why you would want to name them after me but I love the names." Sherlock said giving her a sly smile.
