Chapter 10
Lestrade has been sitting there for hours as he promised John he would look after Sherlock willing himself not to dose of when he heard his phone beep "on our way JW". Sherlock was on the verge of waking up and hoped John could get here before he did.
It took about an hour for the cab to get to the hospital and they were restless hoping to get there sooner to find out how Sherlock was ok. they payed the driver and got out of the cab feeling the cold they ran straight through the entrance. he lifted his phone out of his pocket and texted lestrade to let them know they were here "outside now on our way" JW. John lead mrs hudson through the passage of confusing corridors when they stopped at his door. she looked through the viewing window and gasped to see Sherlock the way he was and John pulled her close before entering the room.
Lestrade heard the door open and smiled to see John and Mrs Hudson standing there, he was tired but kept his promise of looking after sherlock while he rested for a bit. Mrs Hudson saw him and he motioned for her to sit down next to him she looked at john who smiled and gave his approval. She didnt know wether to ask what happened when she realised he was in a weelchair looking him over. he knew she wanted to ask but he said it anyway "oh, i fell down the stairs". "Are you okay" she asked. "im on the mend, but it's not me you should worry about, if it wasnt for this man right here we would both be dead". She smiled and gently squeezed one of his hands and said "im happy your okay, both of you" He brought her into a gentle hug and sat down turning her attention to Sherlock "How long has he been like this" she enquired. "2 days" Lestrade answered.
She reached over putting her hand on his and gently squeezing it and jumped as she felt him flinch and squeezed hers in return and saw his eyes twitch "John" he looked at her "I think hes waking up". He took the seat on the other side of the bed and gently took his other hand He heard a muffled whisper "John". he smiled "Yes Sherlock, im here, were all here" At this his eyes gently and slowly flickered open. it was a blur and he could swear he heard Johns voice over the echo of voices that surrounded him they slowly faded as he blinked a few times to clear his vision and inspected the room he was in a bed, no window, warm he saw three figures alongside him "Sherlock, wake up" they echoed in his ear until he came into full conciousness and looked to both sides to find Lestrade and Mrs Hudson "John" he said barely above a whisper and he saw mrs hudson with tears in her eyes as she motioned to john he looked to his left a small smile across his features and tears in his eyes "Welcome back" he said. Sherlock couldnt help but smile "it's good to be back".
