Holmes is expanding his vocabulary! \o/

Madam—

Since you are incapable of registering discontent in any other form, let this note stand as my firm refusal to engage in any activity under that heinous term, 'Mpreg'.

Your grasp of anatomy alone beggars the bounds of incredulity. To think that I would be a willing accomplice—.

I will not accept female reproductive responsibilities, woman!

John - [mary stop right there. she realizes what he just said and there's a moment where she just looks at him. really? really. shouldn't've put it past him.]

[solution! just tie that into the next sentence.] He misses you terribly. I don't understand, given the way you carried on before.

[Sorry; are you giving him a look? He's too busy lighting his pipe to notice it.]

It can't be too terrible a burden to bear, ensconced in newly-wedded happiness. [That's—. Almost a compliment, if very, very subtle. He's glad Watson has someone. Even if that someone is not him.] Several of Moriarty's henchmen are still at large. It is an evil necessary to keep him— [No wait: too personal]. For protection.

[Not to mention anything of Holmes protecting himself, no. There's no emotional motivation behind this at all. Certainly not. None that he will ever let Mary know about, at any rate.]
