Little Helena is growing up too fast for Sherlock XD Thinking in Elijah Wood as the boyfriend. Enjoy! :)
Sherlock Holmes disliked many things. And his daughter's new boyfriend was one of them.
It wasn't the teen's fault. Elijah was sweet, smart, attractive, generous and polite. It was the fact that he was trying to steal his Little Bee from him what bothered him.
Sherlock had always been a possessive man. His cases, his things, his Pathologist-wife and his daughter.
His. That meant that she belonged to him, not to Elijah. Seeing his baby daughter growing up so fast was breaking his heart.
Today, they had planned going to the cinema to see some ridicoulous science fiction movie that was very famous among teenagers. Helena had promised him that they won't kiss, shag, or embrace during the lenght of their date.
There was a norm that he had clearly established since Helena showed her first signs of attraction towards the opposite gender that simply was: NO romantic gestures until she was old enough to buy herself a home (It was ridiculous but well, he was an overprotective father)
At six o'clock Elijah appeared at the door looking shier than ever. It may had melted Molly and Helena's heart, but definetely not Sherlock's. He already knew what this guy was up to, and he didn't like it. Not one bit.
He gripped the arms of his armchair so hard that his knuckles started turning white. That would have been passed unobserved by anyone but not by his family.
"Mom, please. Don't let Daddy ruin my date I beg you. I really like Elijah" Helena whispered.
Her mother nodded sympatheticly and walked towards her fuming husband, placing a comforting hand over his shoulder.
"Sherlock…" She started.
The only reply that she obtained from him was a feral grunt. Then he stormed to their room. Helena looked afflicted to the door.
"Is he angry with me?"
"Of course not, honey. He would never hate you, it's just he doesn't like changes. And you're growing up so fast… Now go with Elijah and enjoy the movie."
"Thanks mom!" Said Helena taking Elijah's hand, who smiled nervously at her, and going towards the door.
Molly sighed and looked at the now empty living room. She had just said goodbye to her daughter, now she had to take care of her other child. Tip-toeing she walked to their bedroom's door and knocked lightly.
"Sherlock?"
No answer.
"Sherlock please, let me in."
Again, no answer.
Tired of his tantrums, she opened the door and found Sherlock laying on their bed clutching a 'teddy-bee' with all his might
"He is planning to kiss her, you know." He told her coldly.
Molly sighed again and lay with him on the bed, resting her head on his chest and laying a hand on his now slightly graying curls.
"One day she will get married and have children, and she will live her own life. We can't stop her, that's not how it works, love."
"But I won't be there to protect her! What if this Elijah guy cheats on her or hurt her?." Sherlock protested while pouting.
"Sherlock, don't question our daughter's brilliant deduction skills. She will know in less tan 30 seconds if Elijah or the man she chooses to marry is a bad partner."
Sherlock pouted again, only to be kissed passionately by his wife. Resting on her elbows, she looked down at him.
"And if someone hurts her, she can always count with the wrath of her family."
