Sherlock walked into the front door of 221b Baker Street, with fresh snow in his curly dark hair. It was a Sunday morning, and Mr. Holmes' husband was prepping breakfast. Sherlock quickly got changed into his causal wear, and greeted his husband. John Watson jumped, he wasn't expecting Sherlock to be home so early. "How was the case?" John asked, in a polite manner. Sherlock was contacted by the police, about a 13 year old girl, who goes by the name Madison Kirdy, had simply vanished into thin air. Sherlock sighed, and told them how he found the girl in a minute. He timed himself, and he got 1 minute and 23 seconds before he knew her precise location. John thought of their own Daughter, Lily Rose Holmes-Watson (two first and sur names), and he heard Mrs Hudson hushing the child. She was crying, non stop, and John had been up to comfort her, but nothing worked. She wasn't hungry, tired, needing of a burp, or change. She was just difficult, and John made an excuse to leave (or, as he told Mrs Hudson, "making breakfast for us all",) "Sherlock, can you deal with her? She's giving me a headache." John complained, and Sherlock went up the rusty wooden stairs. They were in desperate need of replacing, but Sherlock couldn't stand to lose them.
He walked into the little girl's room. She was wailing, as if her life depended upon it. "'Ello, Love," Sherlock greeted his adopted daughter, and she fell silent. "Papa," she said, and Sherlock cheered. John and Sherlock had a competition of who she was gonna say "Daddy" or "Papa" or "Dada" to first. Sherlock won, and John owes him a £20. John came to fetch Sherlock for his favourite breakfast, bacon, topped with maple syrup (but not too much), toast, lightly buttered, and scrambled eggs. John had perfected this over the course of the years he's been Married to Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock was doing his victory dance, and John laughed so hard, he had to lean against the wall, to support himself. "I love you, Sherlock," Watson said, still chuckling away, at Sherlock's beet red face. "I love you, too, Watson."
