A/N: Hello readers! I see you have found my new story. The song I used is "Forever and Always" by Parachute.
I OWN NOTHING. sajlkdjkfjas I may or may not continue this... Depends on the feedback I get (I'll probably end up continuing it anyway...) So, read on! And don't be shy, leave a review afterwards! :3
Molly was sitting at the kitchen table. She'd been sitting there for days it seemed, when in reality it had only been a couple of hours. Still, John should have been there by now. He told her to be ready for four o'clock, and they were gonna go ice skating, which was Molly's favorite thing on a winter evening. They hadn't gone since last year. But now, it was almost six thirty. She wouldn't be so worried if he had called... He always calls her when he's late. But, she still hasn't gotten a call. Where could he be? She was getting really anxious...
She kept looking out the window, waiting for the headlights of his car to cut through the dark. She doesn't see them, and the hour hand is ticking even closer to seven o'clock. She was getting extremely worried, so she picked up the phone and dialed Sherlock. She asked him where he was, but he didn't know. "Why, is something wrong?" he asked. Molly just told him that he was a little late, because, well, it was true. Then she called Lestrade, she called Mrs. Hudson, hell, she even called Donovan! But everyone answered the same, no one knew where he was.
Molly looks back out the window, waits even longer. She was actually beginning to get annoyed at this point. But she was still super worried. Then, suddenly, the phone rings. She picks it up, and an anxious voice on the other end says something's happened, and she should get to the hospital right now. She dropped the phone on the reciever and fell to her knees. Her mind was rushing to the worst possible conclusions... Then she started to think about last December...
They had gone to America. It was their second anniversary, and they went ice skating in Central Park. Molly was so excited.
Then, in the middle of skating, John pulled Molly into the center of the rink. He bent down on one knee, and pulled a small, red box out of his pocket. One just big enough for a ring. He opened the box and Molly immediately began to tear up.
Then, John began to speak, "Molly, you are the love of my life. From the first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one for me. From the first time we kissed, I knew it was you that I wanted to be with forever. I want you forever. Forever and always. I want us to grow old together. Would you do me this great honor, and make me the happiest man in the world? Molly... Will you marry me?"
Molly's slight tearing-up had now gone to almost full out crying. "Of course, John! Of course I'll marry you! Oh, I thought you would never ask!" She practically jumped into his arms, and John leaned in to kiss her. They heard clapping in the background, and they turned around to find the whole ice rink applauding them. It was the best holiday Molly had ever had.
Molly got in her car and drove to the hospital as fast as she could, luckily it wasn't too slippery out. She reached the entrance and ran up to the front desk. "Can I help you?" The receptionist asks her.
"Yes, I'm looking for my fiance, John Watson. Where is he?" Molly explains, anxiously. A nurse walks out from behind the desk.
"Oh, so you're Molly Hooper, right? John's been asking for you. Well, shouting more like it. Right this way, Miss Hooper." The nurse leads her down the never-ending halls of the hospital. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but John got into a bad accident..." Molly wasn't paying attention, though.
She was trying to keep on a straight face, trying to be strong for him. But he looked awful. He was hooked up to so many different machines... She rushed over to the side of his bed and grabbed his hand.
"John? Can you hear me?" She asked.
He lightly squeezed her hand. "Yeah, Molls. I can hear you." His voice was very soft, and sort of raspy, like he was having trouble breathing or he had something stuck in his throat. Molly held fast to his hand.
"Oh, thank God, John." She let out a breath. She tried to find something to say. "Remember when we were talking about what we would name our kids, if we had any?" John nodded. "Well, I think we need another John Hamish Watson in the world. And how about Melody? I always loved that name. Oh, I can't wait to have kids. It'll be so much fun! And we'll have a nice little house, with plenty of room outside in the yard so they can run around and play, and I can have a little garden! Oh it'll be wonderful. I can't wait!" The only reason she was talking like the was because she was trying to keep from crying. She didn't want him to see how sad she was right now.
John gave her a weak smile. "I can't wait either, sweetheart."
"Oh, I can't believe we're getting so close to the wedding... There's still so much to do... John?" Her gaze dropped back down to John. He was asleep. Even when he was sleeping, she saw how much pain he was in, how fragile he looked. Almost like he was... No, she couldn't think that way.
Then she starts to think... Maybe they don't have to worry about anything else happening before the wedding. She got a great idea. She calls in the nurses and discusses it with them.
"Of course! That would be lovely. That's a wonderful idea. Shall we do it now?" They say.
"Yeah, I'll just get some things together." Molly replies.
By the time she finished discussing her plan, John has woken back up. He still looked so weak though. Molly gave him a kiss on his cheek, and told him she would be back soon.
She calls Sherlock, and Mrs. Hudson, and Lestrade, who brought his wife as well. Even Mycroft came. She got the pastor from one of the local churches to come in, and Lestrade and his wife allowed Molly to borrow their rings.
They all enter John's hospital room, and he manages a smile, and says hello to everyone. Molly explained what they were doing, and he thought the idea was perfect.
The pastor says a couple of verses for the 'ceremony' and everybody's laughing softly, even though most of them are crying as well.
Molly bent down next to John's bed and looked him right in the eyes. 'I love you' She mouthed.
And she says,
"John, I want forever, forever and always. Through the good, and the bad, and the ugly. We'll grow old together, and always remember whether happy or sad or whatever, we'll still love each other forever and always."
They finish their vows, and Molly realizes that the heart monitor is slowing down, the beeps are farther apart. As John's talking, she can barely hear him. Tears fill her eyes again. 'No,' She breathes.
"Molly, I love you forever. Forever and always. Please just remember, even if I'm not there I'll always love you, forever and always." His eyes close. The monitors are barely still going, but his heartbeat was getting too weak.
"No, this can't be real, this can't be happening. No. NO!" She shouts, and hits the nurse call button. The nurses rush in an usher everybody out of the room, including Molly. Everyone wanted to stay, but Molly urged them all to go home, and she would call them if there was any news. Molly waited out in the hall, and finally the nurses came back out of John's room.
