So, Sherlock, how's your body 6 months after the birth? Everything back to normal? Does the C-section scar bother you? And are your heats back yet? And what about your detective work? Back on cases or are you still enjoying your fatherhood? Lots of love!

Thanks for asking a question so soon! It’s lovely to speak with you! -JW

It’s 7 months, just over, since I gave birth, but I’ll let your mistake pass.

Well, I was keen to try to get back in shape as soon as possible after Amelia was born. Not for reasons of vanity but because Hamish is eight and at a particular age where he is very active, he’s currently adoring playing Rugby. And I want to be able to run around with him and be active with him. Last week we went to an indoor rock climbing place together, that was great! I’m really glad I get to do that kind of stuff with him again.

So anyway, my body is nearly back to it’s normal state!

My C-section scar did bother me for the first few months. However John made me feel better about it, he says it’s beautiful because it’s part of me and it’s also part of Amelia’s journey in life. 

My heats are back, yes.

I had one a month ago, as they usually start between 6 and 8 months of having a baby. Though this time John and I used protection as we’re quite happy with our little litter so far.

I am back on my detective work. After my heat I felt like I had had enough time out from work and I wished to return. I had been doing some cold cases before but never proper field work.

Though I am still enjoying fatherhood I am also doing some cases, though not as many as before as I am still preferring to be with Amelia as she’s so little and dependant on me. -SH

hello, sherlock! just wondering, did you ever have any other friends before john?

Well, I had Mrs Hudson, and I suppose Lestrade. But John was my first, proper friend. With Mrs Hudson there was fondness but I wouldn’t say there was a friendship until John came along and made me more… bearable to be around. And with Lestrade, well, we were colleagues and that’s about it. I doubt he liked me very much until John came along and, as I said, made me perhaps more bearable to be around. -SH

sherlock how's ur sex life

I’m sorry, but you are aware I was pregnant just over 2 months ago? And I had a c-section, meaning I had to be extra careful for a long while?

So I wouldn’t say we are at it like rabbits.

Firstly, we’re still careful with me.

Secondly, we haven’t had much of a chance due to having 2 children to look after. Plus, Amelia sleeps in our room.

And finally I’ll say that we are still physical with one another, we’re careful, but we have to choose our moments, definitely. -SH

Congratulations on your lovely baby girl! Sherlock, have you been able to figure out why you didn't deduce that Amelia was a girl and why you thought she was a boy at first?

I do not know why I thought she would be a girl, the only times I have ever guessed anything was what sex the babies would be, I got Hamish’s right, I got Amelia’s wrong.

And thank you for your congratulations.

John is now smirking at me for admitting I was wrong.

-SH

You love me really. -JW

Yes, I do-hey! stop getting Hamish to laugh at me too! I’d like to see you guess the sex of the baby that is growing in your womb with no evidence! -SH

Amelia Rose? I know there's a few doctor who fans in the house? How's Sherlock doing after giving birth? Very tired I presume.

There is no Rose in Amelia’s name, it’s just Amelia.

And yes, we do believe that Hamish got inspiration from the name from Doctor Who, we were surprised he hadn’t gone for Donna assuming she’s his favourite character, but he says that he really likes the name Amelia, as do we (that’s why we decided for her to just have one name instead of a middle name too)!

And I am fine, tired, sore, and a little uncomfortable, but over the moon, and in adoration of my baby girl and also the interaction between Hamish and Amelia, to see that they are bonding already is wonderful. And John as well, he’s the best husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better man to share the experience of parenting with, he is a fantastic dad. I woke up this morning and looked to my right and found Hamish sleeping against one side of John, and Amelia sleeping on his other side, he looked a bit sleepy and seemed to be wandering around his own mind, he was gently running his hands through Hamish’s hair and holding Amelia’s little hand too. I took a picture and it’s now my mobile’s screensaver. He also ensures that I am as comfortable in my recovery as possible, I am grateful that he is a Doctor.

Oh when I refered to the "flood" of questions, I actually send a few asks in. Maybe tumblr ate them ;-) So I am just going to send them again (in one ask now, hopefully that works): For Sherlock & John: What is your idea of a perfect date? To all three: What do you love most about yourself? And when was the last time you cried and why? (Does this seem too nosy?^^)

Perfect date: John and I both agree that a nice meal in peace and just spending quality time together is good. -SH

I like my brain! It makes everything work. -HWH

I like my… medical skills. -JW

I like my mind. 

The last time I cried was last week because I dropped an experiment on the floor and I was really at the end of my tether. It was only a few tears and Hamish gave me a big cuddle while John cleaned it up. It’s getting to the frustrating part of the pregnancy where I find it difficult to do certain things and that causes me irritation. -SH

Last time I cried was when we found out Sherlock was pregnant for a second tie, tears of joy! -JW

The last time I cried was when I fell over a few weeks ago in the park. Daddy kissed my knees and hands better and when I got home and showed papa he gave me a cuddle and extra get-better kisses for my knees. It really hurt when I fell. -HWH
