Chapter 1
"So how long have you been dating Kevin?" questioned Mary.
"Oh, you know about two months now." Molly answered laughing nervously. The two women were meeting at a café near St. Bart's while Sherlock and John were on a case.
"Is he like Tom at all?" Mary questioned making Molly blush at the memory of her Sherlock replacement.
"No, he's quite different and doesn't look at all like him. But he's not an idiot either."
"I still can't believe you were hiding this from me."
"Well, you haven't been able to get out much with Ana now. It's so nice Mrs. Hudson watches her for you two."
"Yeah, and she's getting so big now. Are you and Kevin planning on having any?" Molly almost spit out her coffee.
"N-not at the moment."
"Relax, I'm only joking. For now." Mary winked after finishing her last sentence.
"Well, my lunch break is almost over," Molly said after checking her watch. "I have to be getting back."
"We'll have to do this again soon." The two women stood and hugged each other, however during the hug Molly flinched as Mary squeezed her.
"Sorry, did I hurt you?" Mary questioned. Molly looked at her concerned friend.
"No, I just hurt my arm there, it's still a little sore. Bye Mary."
Molly quickly left the café and hurried back to the morgue at St. Bart's. Once she was back in the hospital she hurried into the girl's locker room and rolled up her sleeve. The repulsive mark of purple and yellow was still prominent on her arm. Despite this, she rolled down her sleeve and returned to her shift feeling there was nothing to do about it and wishing her lie to Mary was the truth.
