#213 - A secret capitulation
(one shot, 221 words)
Summary: Could Sherlock ever say no to that little girl?
“Pappppppppppppa!” Rosie runs to Sherlock who was at his microscope. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”
John, who was behind her and closing the flat door, laughs at her enthusiasm and his husband's silent, do I wanna know?
Sherlock turns his eyes from his work to look at John’s (no… their) daughter. “Calm yourself darling and explain everything.”
“It’s ‘Parent’s day’ at school next Wednesday, and I want you to come!” Her eyes were shining with anticipation, yet a bit afraid that her ‘antisocial’ papa – whatever that means! – could say no to her.
“But Rosie… your dad is way better than me at that kind of stuff… He’s a doctor, used to be a soldier… he’s even a blogger! That’s plenty of wonderful tales to captivate your classmates!” The detective looks at John, wanting a little bit of help! But the doctor's smirk was screaming, ‘you’re on your own love.'
“Lucy’s mom is a doctor, Michael dad’s a soldier and Robert’s mom is a journalist which is like a blogger, right?”
“Yeah, but no one parent is doing both three isn’t?” Sherlock protests hopefully.
“But papppppppa,” Rosie whined dramatically, “I’ve already told everyone that you are coming!”
Little minx… Sherlock secretly thought before agreeing. His mind already trying to find cases that are actually appropriate for nine-year-old brains.
January 1st so 2 today! Happy New Year everyone!
