Concerto

Work Text:

Movement on stage caught John’s attention as Hamish, looking so much like his Father, walked to the microphone. “My name is Hamish Watson-Holmes and I am seven years-old. This is for my Dad.”

The screen behind him flickered to life showing Hamish sitting at a piano, while on stage Hamish pulled a clarinet from behind his back and began to accompany himself.

John sat transfixed, Sherlock gripping his hand tightly in support. When had Hamish learned the clarinet?

After the show Hamish came bounding towards them excitedly. “Were you surprised?” he laughed, engulfing John in a hug. “Happy Birthday, Daddy.”
