**********~~~~~~~~~~***********
She doesn’t want anyone to know where she is. Greg.
We need to find her Greg. John
Look she is ok but she doesn’t want any visitors she wants to do it alone. Greg
But I don’t understand. Why are you seeing her but not Sherlock? John
She won’t tell me. Just says she doesn’t want him there. Greg.
This is crazy. John
Is he ok? Greg
He won’t let anyone in to find out. I don’t think it’s good. John
Shit. I’ll try and talk to her. Greg
Cheers mate. John
What happens if this goes wrong? Greg
I don’t know but it won’t be good. John
This will break him Greg, I know it will. John
It’s breaking her. Greg
When are you seeing again? John
Tonight. Greg
Tell her we love her and if she needs anything. John
I will. She knows John I’ll see if I can get her to call him. Greg
Thank you. John
Sherlock you need to come out sometime. John
Come on mate just come out and talk to me john
I’m not leaving this flat till you come out
This isn’t healthy Sherlock
Have you even eaten in the last week?
Slept?
Played your violin?
I know you’re frightened but this isn’t the way to deal with it
Come on Sherlock
I’ll stay here for days
I’ll get Mary to come round
She can shoot you again if you like
Sherlock
Come on come out.
Leave me alone john. Just go SH
No way! You can’t stay in there forever
I don’t want to come out. SH
Why not?
If I leave this room, if I see you talk to you about it then it’s real. SH
It already is real mate
I can pretend.
She is pretending too, she won’t see any of us.
She didn’t tell me where she was going just that she was. SH
What if I don’t get to see her again John? SH
You will! She’s going to be ok!
You can’t promise that John! I may not be doctor but I understand what is happening to her. SH
She is getting the help she needs. There is always hope Sherlock.
I don’t want her to die SH
None of us do
It’s too soon we haven’t had a chance to be together. SH
I know it isn’t fair on either of you.
Is it because of me? Because I couldn’t feel? SH
No Sherlock don’t do that. It isn’t anyone’s fault
But the way I treated her, always building up her hopes and then dashing them!
What I must have put her through. The constant changing of her mind SH
No way of course not!
I won’t live without her John. SH
What?
If she dies, I’ll go with her. SH
Are you talking about killing yourself?
Sherlock?
Don’t do anything stupid
Talk to me!
She has to be ok. I won’t be ok if she isn’t. SH
Mycroft you need to talk to him! JW
I hardly think it will help MH
He is talking about killing himself if she dies! JW
So you are texting me? My brother dislikes me how will I be of any help? MH
He doesn’t hate you and he needs you! He needs his family JW
Are you not more suitable to this John? I am not one for sentiment. MH
Your fucking sister-in-law is dying and you say that! Fucking hell you are worse than him! JW
There is no need to use profanities John. MH
Then go and fucking talk to him! JW
What am I to say? MH
I don’t know just find a way to comfort him! I know you did when he was kid you can do it now. JW
You know nothing of our childhood John. MH
I know enough. Maybe if your mum goes to him? It might help. JW
I will call her. MH
Thank you Mycroft. JW
How is she? MH
I don’t know she is only talking to Greg Lestrade. JW
Very well I will find out where she is. We should respect her privacy though if she does not want to see anyone. MH
Yeah it will just be good to know where she is. JW
I’ll be in touch. MH
Brother dear, it is about time you stopped this behaviour don’t you think. MH
What do you know about it? SH
You forget Sherlock about my own wife. MH
How do I do this, Mycroft? SH
What I did was wrong. I left her to be alone, closed myself away from the pain. In turn I took away your sentiment. MH
I never thought about it. I thought you didn’t care. SH
I cared too much brother. Her lose broke my heart. MH
She won’t talk to me. SH
Have you tried brother? MH
No not really. SH
All you can do is keep reminding her that you are there, whenever she needs you. MH
Do you know where she is? SH
I do. If I give you the information you must not go there. She wants to do this alone. MH
I just need to know. SH
Ok. I will send the information with mummy. She is coming to visit you. MH
When? SH
She should be there by tonight. MH
Ok. I think maybe I need her. SH
We always have. MH
When did we become so sentimental? SH
Perhaps we always have been. The problem with us dear brother might not be that we don’t feel but rather that we feel too much. MH
Perhaps. SH
Sherlock, John told me what you said. MH
I see SH
If I ask you not to do it, would you listen? MH
I don’t know SH
Brother, please look after yourself! MH
I will try brother. SH
**************~~~~~~~~~~*************
Mother is driving me crazy! SH
Are you out of your bedroom? MH
Yes. She will not allow me to be in there during daylight hours. SH
And have you eaten today? MH
Yes, two meals so far and several snacks. She is over feeding me I feel like that ginger cat on television. SH
I would not take you for one who would watch Garfield. MH
Mummy keeps putting the television on. SH
Yes she does that. MH
Not to mention in the babbling! Does she ever shut up? SH
I don’t believe she does. MH
Was she like this when we were children? SH
I can’t say I recall but I suppose she was. MH
I don’t know how much longer I can last with her here. I may have to rid myself of her. SH
Do not kill our mother Sherlock. MH
I wasn’t going to. I thought about going for a walk. SH
To where? MH
St Bart’s? SH
She isn’t there, she is on medical leave. You know that! MH
I know but I cannot go to where she is. Sitting in the lab will make me . . . feel SH
Is mother really that bad that you will force such depression on yourself? MH
No of course not. SH
Mycroft, thank you for sending her. SH
Anything for you little brother. MH
I’ve had a message from her! she wants me to go pick her up. G
She is coming home? J
It’s been eight months. I think it’s time. G
Greg, how is she? J
I think we might be in the clear. G
Are you serious? J
John I’m fine. The treatment has worked. Molly
That’s amazing Molly. I’m so pleased for you! So what’s the prognosis now? J
I’m not completely done, but it looks good. My doctor says I should be in remission in not time. They had to do an operation to remove the tumours but it went well. Molly
God Molly you had us all really scared! John
I know I’m really sorry John I just had to this by myself. Molly
He has been a nightmare but we got through it. John
Does he hate me? Molly
Of course he doesn’t hate you. He might hate us now though. John
Oh really? Molly.
We set his mum on him. She had him acting like a normal person for a while now. He is pretty good at hiding his feelings. John
His mother? Oh gosh, I want to see him so badly. Molly
Have you told him you are coming home? John
No not yet. Do you think I should? Molly.
It might be a good idea. Give him a little bit of time to adjust to seeing you again. John
Ok. Good idea. I’ll text him, he hates talking on the phone. Molly
Doesn’t he just. We’ll let you settle in for a week then we all need to go for a meal or something. John
That sounds good. Molly
Mary and I will cook for you both. John
That sounds perfect. Thank you John. Molly.
Sherlock x
Molly x
How are you? X
Oh Molly. Why are you so perfect? After what you are going through you ask me how I am. X
I did x
I am not good, Molly. I need you. X
Do you need me home? X
I need you beside me, I need to have you in my arms. I need you to smile at me. To tell me everything will be ok. I need you to get rid of my mother. X
Sherlock, everything is going to be fine. X
Is it? X
Tell your mother she can go home. X
She is the only thing keeping me from shutting myself away. X
You don’t need to shut yourself away anymore. You need to take care of me. X
I want to take care of you. X
I’m still very weak Sherlock, I’ll need you. X
Shall I come to you? X
No. I am coming home to you. X
Molly. X
Tonight I’ll be there tonight. Greg is bringing me home. X
Thank god. Oh Molly don’t be slow. X
I am just going through the discharge procedure. X
Molly X
I know Sherlock, I love you too. X
Forever? X
Longer. X
Greg, please be careful with her! SH
I will be Sherlock. Greg
Get her quickly but do not drive recklessly. SH
She will be fine Greg
Please Greg I need her to be ok. SH
Sherlock I always said that one day you would prove to be a good man. Greg
A good man? SH
You are a good man with her. I’m glad you finally got to be one. Greg
Greg you are being sentimental. SH
So are you! Greg
So it would seem SH
It looks good on you mate. Greg
What does? SH
Love. Greg
You should know the girl you are seeing, she will be very loyal to you. She loves you and is nothing like your ex-wife. SH
Thank you Sherlock. Greg
What time are you collecting her? SH
I am setting out now. Greg.
Thank you Greg. SH
We are very well thank you Mary, both of us.
I am so very glad.
Molly would very much like me to invite the both of you here on Friday evening. She says it is our turn to have you for dinner.
This is becoming a weekly thing isn’t it Sherlock?
Apparently. It is convenient that the two of you are well acquainted.
So we can look after each other when you are on cases?
Your words Mary.
So you are going to start taking them again?
Molly has informed me that I am becoming annoying. SH
I can imagine.
I will need to John.
You can have him.
For the case. Only for the case.
For the case Sherlock. We’ll see you at seven.
