The storm that night was the worst that had come about since John had moved in, and Sherlock knew he couldn’t keep it from him any longer. With the windows rattling, and the lights all out, Sherlock pulled out his phone. It read that it was currently half past midnight, but that would bother John more then it did Sherlock. He typed out the text slowly, reading it over in case his shaking fingers had made any mistakes, then hit send. John, are you awake? -SH Now I am - JW My apologies. SH How can you sleep through such a racket? SH I am an army doctor , I slept in worse situations ;) -JW Anyway what do you need ? JW I hate storms. This one is being particularly...traumatic for me. SH What do you do to stop shaking after a nightmare? SH I usually need a hug ... JW ...Would that work for me? SH We can try . JW Could you come to my room then? SH Please. SH Ok , Im coming JW John slowly opened the door Sherlock sat up in bed, clutching the blankets to him. Come on Sher , dont be scared , Im here for you . Said john sitting next to him Sherlock huddled closer to John, resting his head on his shoulder. Its all fine , Its all fine said john when suddenly someone knocked the door Sherlock looked up at the door, curious as to who it could be. It was Hamish , clutching his blanket just like his father and with the eyes full of tears Sherlock held out his arms for his son. Im ... Im scared , daddies. Can I come on the bed with you ? he said . Course sweetheart, Sherlock murmured, pulling him into a hug. Mycroft was wrong , Youre a good father Sher John said . Mycroft is always wrong, Sherlock teased, hugging John with one arm and Hamish with the other. Suddenly the storm finished and while they were all lying on the bed Hamish said Uncle Mycroft says that I have a mother somewhere in the world and I can look for her , but I dont need her , I already have you. I love you daddies We love you too Hamish. And if you want to look for her you can, but well always be here for you too, Sherlock said, kissing the top of his head. And they all lived happily ever after *____*
