________________________________________________

An unrefusable offer


"Are you serious?”

“Of course we are, John. This is our daughter we’re talking about. We thought about it for a while.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything right now. Think about it, talk to Sherlock about it. Unless, of course you know now that you don’t want to do it.”

“What? No! I would love to! I just tend to forget that there are other people who see the good in Sherlock. Most of your friends will call you crazy for trusting him with Rosie’s welfare.”

“Most people haven’t seen him with her.”

Both men fell silent for a few minutes and remembered Sherlock meeting Rosie. He, who usually had something to say to everyone and everything, fell completely silent and looked at the tiny baby that Molly had gently placed in his arms. Strangely enough he held her as secure and confident as if he had never done anything else. She blinked at him a few times and then fell asleep.

“We are well aware that she won’t get her people skills from him. But that’s where you come in.”

John felt a vibrant joy and grinned at Greg.

“You are aware that with Sherlock as a godfather your first-born daughter will grow up to either be a high-profile criminal or a biochemist?”

Sherlock holding a baby in his arms must be an adorable sight. Rosie could have fallen in worse hands, both literally and figuratively!

Did you get the title? *haha*
The Godfather! :D

(Pssst. Thanks. Without you I would have never known what she is talking about. Don't tell her. It's embarassing.)

Wrong answer, Rox. You should have said (while quirking an eyebrow), "Well, it was obvious Chocolamousse, you didn't have to clarify. I understood immediately. My cinema culture doesn't start with The Hobbit, you see," then you'd have looked smug.That was the right answer. But don't worry, I won't tell Anarion. She could laugh in your face because she can be so cruel sometimes. Also don't tell her I didn't understand before reading the word godfather, because until then I was thinking in French and the French word is not evocative of the film. And it isn't either in German, I bet, which is the only reason you didn't understand. So, come and look smug with me. :D

You know what is really, really embarassing? In Chile I studied film! Yes, I had two years of history of film. *headdesk* I must have seen the Godfather at some point of my life, but since that is a very long one...

Aww, that's adorable - I love what you do with my prompts, thank you!

And I've always liked the name 'Rosie' (and 'Molly', actually) - I guess one of the benefits of writing is that I can bestow my favourite names on characters rather than needing to produce more offspring :D

Let's hope for a biochemist then ;)
This little treasure reminds me of the few pictures I saw of Benedict with a baby or child.

This is the perfect opportunity to tell you how much I love your Greg.
He's a good friend to all of them, including Mycroft which I value most. He's a lovable father, all bamfy and reliable as a DI and not only an excellent bait! ;) Thank you for taking such good care of my favourite character!
