Molly woke up to the sound of her alarm, she opened her eyes to be blinded by the bright sunshine coming through her bedroom window. She got out of bed and made her way to her calendar where she crossed off yesterday's date. Her eyes then glanced to today's date which had the words '12 weeks scan' on it. The thought of it made her really excited and she just stood there smiling to herself at the thought of seeing her baby for the first time today. Her smile soon faded when her morning sickness came along.

It was about half 9 when Molly arrived at the clinic, and already waiting there for her was Sherlock's mother. Both women were happy to see each other again, they both gave each other a hug before entering the clinic together.

Whilst sat in the waiting room Molly was looking around the room at all the pregnant women sat happily with their partners, and there she was just sat anxiously waiting. She was just hoping the nurse wasn't going to ask who the father is because she doesn't think she could tell them.

Molly: 'I feel sick'

Mrs Holmes: 'I believe the toilet is that way' pointing towards the sign on the wall.

Molly: 'I'll bare that in mind. You know I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time'

Mrs Holmes: 'Me too'

Molly: 'But you've done this before'

Mrs Holmes: 'I know'

Molly: 'Twice'

Mrs Holmes: 'I know'

Molly: 'And now you get to see your grandchild'

Mrs Holmes: 'Molly?'

Molly: 'Mmm'

Mrs Holmes: 'I think you need to calm down'

Molly: 'Okay. Sorry, I'm just so nervous'

Mrs Holmes took hold of Molly's hand

Mrs Holmes: 'You just need to relax and breathe in and out'

Molly did as she suggested and breathed in and out a couple of times to calm herself down.

Mrs Holmes: 'Better?'

Molly: 'Yeah'

They both had to wait a little bit longer until finally Molly's name was called from the other side of the room.

Nurse: 'Molly Hooper'

Molly and Mrs Holmes both made their way towards the nurse, Molly holding on to Mrs Holmes' arm to support herself as she is way too nervous to even walk straight. They followed the nurse to the small room and Molly popped herself on to the bed.

Nurse: 'So you brought your mom with you today'

Mrs Holmes: 'No I'm the father's mother'

Nurse: 'So where's the father today?'

Molly begins to stutter as she doesn't know what to say.

Molly: 'err'

Mrs Holmes: ' He's dead'

Mrs Holmes winks at Molly

Nurse: 'I'm so sorry to hear that'

The nurse placed the cold jell on to Molly's flat stomach which instantly made her flinch.

Nurse: 'Sorry it's a bit cold'

The nurse then placed the ultrasound on to her stomach and eventually the shape of Molly's baby appeared on the screen. The sight of seeing her baby for the first time brought tears to her eyes and made this seem even more real. After the nurse had made sure everything was okay she printed off a picture of the baby for Molly to keep. Molly then placed the picture in her bag to keep it safe, and her and Mrs Holmes walked out the clinic to together.

Mrs Holmes: 'You got any plans for today?'

Molly: 'I have work this afternoon but that's all'

Mrs Holmes: 'Shall we go and grab a coffee?'

Molly: 'Yeah why not'

Molly smiled at Mrs Holmes and both of them walked down the road together.

Over the next couple of weeks Molly's bump began to grow and the only thing that worried her was what she going to say to people at work if they asked about it. She couldn't tell them that Sherlock was the baby's father, they'd ask too many awkward questions. Suppose she would just have to lie.

Molly did find it hard at work with people asking questions but she just kept herself to herself and she was alright. It wasn't until one day when she heard that Greg Lestrade was in the morgue with another one of the pathologists. She panicked because she didn't want him to know she was pregnant because she knew he would start to ask her awkward questions. So she just hid up the lab, as he wouldn't need to go in there. She kept herself occupied with paperwork, but found herself getting distracted as she just sat their day dreaming of what Sherlock would be like as a father if he ever came back.

Molly was now just over 16 weeks pregnant. She was just sitting on her sofa one evening reading a book when she first felt her baby kick. Her first thought was ouch because it really hurt and she could really tell this baby is going to be like Sherlock and secondly she loved it, feeling her baby kick for the first time was the best thing in the world. She then reached her phone which was on the table and started to ring Sherlock's mom. The phone rang a couple of times before Mrs Holmes picked up.

Mrs Holmes: 'Hello Molly'

Molly: 'Hey, you never guess what'

Mrs Holmes: 'What?'

Molly: 'I just felt the baby kick for the first time'

Mrs Holmes: 'Aw that's amazing'

Molly: 'I know'

Mrs Holmes: 'Has the baby kicked since?'

Molly: 'No, but that one did hurt which is a sign it's going to be like Sherlock'

Mrs Holmes: 'Could be, right dear I best be off, I think Mycroft has arrived which he doesn't do very often so it must be important'

Molly: 'I shall leave you to it'

Both women ended the call and Molly sat back down and wrapped herself up in her blanket and sat their smiling to herself for the rest if the evening.
