1. Prologue

Prologue

"John!" Screamed the seemingly petrified Sherlock Holmes as he dashed towards his doctor that lays gory on the floor.

"Sir, you have to choose now."

"Sh-sherlock…" John's aggrieved voice echoed through Sherlock's ears and it's killing him by the second.

"Sir, we don't have enough time…!"

"J-john! Stay with me. Don't. Don't close your eyes!" He stuttered in dread.

"Sir!"

"I'm a doctor Sherlock, don't be silly you bastard. I can-" John's own voice betrayed his body as the pain amassed.

"Please, sir. We've only got minutes left."

"W-what should I-?" Sherlock was cut off as John held a tight grip on his collar. "M-mary… B-baby…"

"Mary, baby, Mary, baby, Mary, baby, Mary, baby, Mary…"

"Save the baby, Sherlock…" Mary's voice whispered in certitude that is filled with beseeches. "M-mary… B-baby…" John's voice contradicted in the process.

"Gaaaahh!"

"The baby, Sherlock." Mary. "B-baby…" John.

"Sir?!"

"Save… The baby."

Forgive me, John.
