standard disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock
In a small apartment in London, Mary Watson, ex-assassin, paced in her room. It was 11:00 at night and her husband was not home yet. John had told Mary not to leave their home, he had been so worried about her since Moriarty has resurfaced, he did not leave her alone often and when he did he made her wait home until he returned, telling her to lock the doors and windows. Even though Mary knew he was getting a little bit over protected, she secretly enjoyed the worry and care he had for her, happy that he was concerned for her safety. But John had not been home since this morning at 6:00 and she was getting scared. She sat back into to bed and began to stroke her tummy, which was now very huge since she was expected to give birth soon, it had been almost nine months after all. As soon as she began to stroked her phone gave off a buzz that made her jump. She scrambled to get the phone and answered it with a hopeful plead.
"John!?"
"Yes Mary I'm here"
Mary gave a huge sigh of relief.
"John where are you?"
"At the flat"
"All day!"
"No no, I want to explain it to you but it will have to wait until morning, to let Sherlock decide if he wants to tell."
"What?"
"Never mind, Mary I want to come home but I can't tonight, Sherlock needs me and Molly, I have talked to mycroft he is taking you to his estate tonight to make sure you are safe, I will see you in the morning."
"John I want to be with you"
"So do I, but you have to listen to me this is urgent, I can't put you in harms way your pregnant!"
"What if my water breaks while you are away,"
"Mary-"
"What if mycroft does not come"
"Mary stop this-"
"What if-"
"Fine! I will see what I can do,"
Mary smiled at her stubbornness.
"Thank you sweetie"
"I will call back soon I promise, just stay inside"
"Alright"
"Bye"
"Bye"
John hung up and Mary clutched the smart phone to her chest. She hoped dearly that everything was alright.
Greg Lestrade rubbed his temples with his fingers. He had a terrible head ache from running around all day starting with John telling him that Sherlock was taking the day off. He did not believe it, Sherlock never takes a day off in the middle of a case, especial this case with Moriarty. So, Greg had spent the whole day searching for him but the flat was empty and there was not trace of Sherlock any where else. He sat in his office in silence until his phone rang. He groaned and picked up the phone.
"Who is it?"
"Greg is that you?"
"John! Where the heck are you"
"Does not matter, I need a favor"
"What kind?"
"Can you please go to Bart's and get the portable x-Ray machine, all the supplies in my office, and my nerve detector? Then drop it off infront of the flat but do not come in"
"John, what kind of joke-"
"Please do what I say if you truly care about the safety of Sherlock Holmes!"
Greg stopped talking, what john just said meant it was serious, he didn't like not knowing what was going on, but if it was going to risk sherlocks safety to question john, he was willing to ignore his frustration.
"Fine I will do it"
He heard a sigh of relief on the other side of the phone.
"Thank you Greg you are a huge help"
"Yeah yeah I get it. Bye"
"Bye"
Greg hung up and slowly got up to grab his coat. He thought about calling Donovan but decided against it, she would never help Sherlock.
Mycroft sat in his favorite chair in his office, he was bringing a cuppa tea to his lips when his phone rang. He put the cuppa down and picked up his phone and looked at the address to see it was john. He answered.
"And what do I owe the pleasure?"
"There is no more need to pick up Mary"
"Why is that John, did the Mrs. Watson out smart you?"
"Mycroft cut out the sarcasm please, we are doing all of this for your only brother so at least pretend to care."
"Goodbye Mr. Watson"
"Ugg"
Mycroft hung up the phone. And lifted the cuppa to his lips and took a sip and said to no one.
"My second brother"
