Joan is absolutely beaming as she watches Ted play with the kids. He's so sweet and kind, and obviously enjoys playing with them and making them happy. She can just imagine what he's like when he plays with Henry. And then she imagines what it would be like to watch him play with kids they have together. All of that makes her love him deeply, fiercely.
Sherlock looks over at Watson, watching her watch Ted, and he can imagine what's going through her head. He's aware of Watson's desire to be a mother, and while it's not an impulse he comes about naturally, Sherlock has come to the conclusion that if Watson were to have a child, he would be a part of said child's life. He can easily imagine Watson and Ted having a child...and just as easily imagine being party to that joy, just as he's become party to the joy of their relationship. It's a strangely pleasant thought.
