Billy looked dreamily at the young woman who lay in his bed, in his arms. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. The young woman in her slumber snuggled in his arms. Her short strawberry blond curls framed her beautiful pale slender features as her head lay on the pillow.
She was the daughter of his boss , Sherlock Holmes . Billy worked for Sherlock as a page. John Watson ( Victoria's step father and Sherlock's husband ) had often commented that he found the young page wise and tactful in his helping Sherlock and John in their different cases. Billy had been 18 when he came to work for Holmes and had met then 17 year old Victoria. Billy had fallen in love with the young woman almost on sight and several months later he had asked her out.
Gently , as not to wake the young woman, Billy stroked her cheek. As he did this, the young woman's eyes fluttered open. She smiled as she looked at Billy with what he called her father's steel grey eyes.
"Good morning," Billy smiled as he held her close to his body. "Hi." He then began to give her bare shoulder tender butterfly kisses as she sighed at each kiss. He murmured "I love you" They kissed tenderly and soon fell asleep in each others arms.
The next morning, Billy woke up and reached over to take the young woman into his arms. As he did , Billy saw that he was alone in the room. The spot in the bed where Victoria had lain was now empty. There was instead a framed picture of the young woman and a note writen in Victoria's handwriting .
MY DARLING, BILLY.
THANK YOU FOR LAST NIGHT. IT WAS WONDERFUL. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE, COME TO BAKERSTREET TONIGHT FOR DINNER. IF NOT POSSIBLE, PLEASE COME JUST THE SAME. MY FATHERS WILL BE OUT FOR THE EVENING.
I LOVE YOU.
VICTORIA.
Billy smiled as he picked up the photo and smiled at it lovingly. He, then placed it on the nightstand. He then rose and walked over to his dresser and opened the top then took out a small black ringbox. The young man looked at his reflection in the mirror then back to the photo. He smiled to himself as he spoke to it, " Yes my dear Victoria, it will be possible for me to come for dinner tonight. For tonight I plan on asking you to be mine."
That night with the help of Mrs Hudson, the landlady not their housekeeper of 221b Bakerstreet, Victoria had prepared a wonderful romantic dinner for they sat there, Billy found himself falling even deeper in love with this young woman. The woman who had his heart.
Billy took her hand in his and tenderly kissed it,"Vicki, you know I love and adore you with every thing in me don't you?" She nodded as she smiled shyly. Billy then took the ring box out of his pants pocket and presented it to her. "Then will you do me the honour of allowing me to marry the most beautiful woman in the city of London?" Through her tears of Joy , Victoria leaned towards Billy and kissed him.
"Yes Billy , Yes I will marry you. Oh Billy, I love you." They, then rose together and Billy drew her in his arms and they kissed again, melting as one. Billy then picked the young woman up and carried her to the couch that was in the sitting room of 221 B Bakerstreet to sit and plan their future.
The following morning the young woman woke up in a good mood. Victoria smiled to herself as she glanced down at the simple engagement ring which was now on her finger. Never was there a more happy, or contented young woman in the whole of London. She rose from her bed, got dressed and made her way to the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Sherlock Holmes sat at his work table which was also the kitchen table. He was typing on his lap top computer( well actually it was his husband's computer) but Sherlock's was in their bedroom as was his blackberry , where John was still sleeping. Sherlock didn't want to wake his husband. Besides he reasoned John's was down here and Sherlock knew the password. His husband's pass word was quite easy really . Sherlock chuckled as he typed the word in" Ahh my dear John, will you ever learn."
Sherlock had just posted a blog entry on his website the SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION. when he sensed his daughter entering the room behind him. She came up behind him and put her arms around him and kissed his cheek." Good morning Daddy." Sherlock glanced up at her and acknowledged her greeting. He then turned back to the lap top.
Victoria chuckled at this greeting , this was her father's way, she had become use to this. She learned at a early age not to bother him while he was working . Although some times he let her take part in his more simple experiments and often took her along on cases. John always made sure he kept a eye on the little girl on the different cases. To keep her out of harms way. Sherlock also encouraged her to conduct her own experments. He had also given her a riding crop along with a small crash test dummy for her 10th birthday. Much to the distain of John.
John had protested "Sherlock , that is not the proper gift for a young girl. " as Vicki begain hitting the dummy with the crop happily. "Just like daddy does." the little girl had squealed in delight after she had hugged her father then turned back and began to strike the dummy gleefully. Sherlock had watched his daughter for several minutes and turned to John and spoke "Maybe so John, but it is the perfect gift for the daughter of Sherlock Holmes."
Now as Victoria made her way to the kitchen in search of coffee, Sherlock lifted his glance from his work and silently watched his daughter. His heart swelled with the love he felt for his only child. It was a different love then he felt for his husband John. Sherlock showed her love in his usual different way but he did love her.
The little girl had made Sherlock love her right from the moment she was placed in his arms at her birth. Victoria was a wonderful reminder of the first and only woman Holmes ever loved.
When Holmes was in school he had met and fell in love with a fellow classmate. Her name was Elizabeth Hardy. She had been the niece of one of his collage professor , Rupert Waxflutter
The two shared meny a happy day together. Elizabeth had been the first and only woman he had given his heart to. One night the young couple consimated their love for one another. From that night , their love produced a child. Sherlock had vowed to stand by the mother of his child no matter what.
Sherlock had proposed to Elizabeth and she had accepted with a kiss. They had agreed to marry after the baby was born. But that was not to be. For Elizabeth lost her life giving their daughter life. Sherlock had been heartbroken by the loss. But thanks to the support and yes the love of John Watson ( his best friend at the time) and also the love of his young daughter, Sherlock's heart soon mended, excepting and returning the love the two offered him.
The year Victoria turned a year old, Sherlock and John had gotten closer and soon began to date. Six months later John had proposed to her father and the two married in a quiet civil ceremony. On Victoria's Second birthday , John offically adopted her. The child grew up under the watchful eye of both Sherlock and John. Also by her uncle Mycroft and Mrs Hudson ( the landlady, not the housekeeper) of Bakerstreet.
The young girl loved them all. But the one person that held a special place in her heart was Sherlock. She followed Sherlock every where, and her eyes would light up when she saw him. Sherlock would smile his usual soft smile at the little girl, ( which he reserved for his daughter) as he would pick her up and nuzzle her cheek with his nose. His own steel eyes glowing with the fatherly love the young girl brought out in him.
Every time John saw Sherlock hold their daughter in this manner, his heart would swell with love for his husband. John would remark that little Victoria was indeed a Daddy's girl. John also knew that to his husband , the young girl was a wonderful reminder of her late mother.
Sherlock turned back to the computer screen as he spoke to his daughter. " So are you going to tell me about the ring on your finger. or shall I tell you."
ok this is the very first sherlock story i ever did... this was back when I was in the 11th grade long before I knew what fan fics were... I am doing alot of rewriting on it and up dating it to fit our BBC Boys.
Elizabeth and her uncle are from the movie Young Sherlock Holmes... And Billy is borrowed from the original Holmes stories . The only charactor I do own is Victoria...
hope you like this and i have other chaps for this uni. that i am stiil rewriting...
again enjoy...( this is a separate uni from my Boswell series.)
