Mystrade Prompt

After Greg and Mycroft adopt their first child they both worked full time jobs so they each took turns in taking her to work with them. When it was Greg’s turn he carried her around on his hip the whole time bringing her to all the crime scenes and shielding her eyes from anything too gory, everyone at the station adored her and doted on her constantly they each took turns babysitting her when Greg was busy.
