Previous 221b: Child's Play

________________________________________________

Child's Play - Reverse

John has always been good with children. He likes them and takes them seriously no matter what age and therefore they adore him.

Sherlock never understood what John saw in him and always tried to be prepared for the day when John would realise that this life wasn’t for him after all.

When John’s strange obsession with Sherlock holding a baby began (yes, Sherlock noticed pretty much from the start – it’s not hard to miss when your partner suddenly starts handing babies in your general direction from left, right and centre), he was convinced that this was the beginning of the end.

So John coming up to him the day after the fiasco with Mike’s daughter and asking if he had a minute? Not really a surprise.

Sherlock decided to spare them both the awkwardness of John explaining that it had been fun, he really liked Sherlock, but had realised that he wanted children after all and maybe they could stay friends?

What came as a surprise was turning around and seeing the huge grin on John’s face.

What came as a surprise was John taking his hand and pulling a little box out of his pocket.

“John, what are you doing?”

“I am going to ask you to marry me, genius.”

“What? Why?”

“Why? Because I love you, you berk.”





Next 221b: A Rose by Any Other Name


------------------
AN:
Today's prompt was 'baby' - again.

Thanks to writing these I now have a head canon for the two of them and their marriage. It's nice. ;)
You will know all about it when the year is finished.

Addendum 12/2015: I had this be Molly's daughter in the beginning but after I wrote more and more in this verse this little story didn't fit with the canon anymore so I changed it to Mike's daughter. And they way John proposed changed too. But I don't want to delete this story, so having said that, I'll just leave it here.

It's just like Sherlock that he asks why John wants to marry him :)
Isn't it? :)

Thank you so much!
