I own nothing but the plot unfolding before my eyes.

Return to the Solution

Sherlock Holmes understood the necessity of the item sitting in front of him. Mentally, he could comprehend the importance and complexities of obtaining one, and more importantly he held those who implored their time and energy into its upkeep in his highest regards.

What his sharpened mind did not understand was why it was here.

Looking at him.

Watson did not enjoy its presence any more then Holmes himself did, soon after its arrival he conveniently remembered an appointment with an elderly woman suffering from a dreadful case of pneumonia.

Sherlock certainly hoped she had the tools necessary for doctoring at her place of residence as Watson had been so eager to escape he had forgotten to take his medical bag.

But, as it has been said before and will no doubt be said again, Watson no more wished to be placed in the current situation then Sherlock did, and because of his undying sense of duty to the man before, Holmes supposed he could forgive this momentary flight from assistance.

No, Watson was not to blame for Sherlock's impending tragic future. In anyone was to blame, and there is always someone, it was Mycroft.

As Watson felt a sense of duty to Sherlock during a case, Mycroft felt a duty to England when…well actually it was whenever England decided to call.

To Sherlock this was all fine and well as long as it didn't concern him.

Mycroft had however, discovered a way to misconstrue this particular incident and made it involve Sherlock, though for the life of him he could not figure out how or why it should.

So what if the child in front of him was his daughter?

This chapter has been slightly edited to hopefully make it slightly less confusing, I still am having troubles with spelling errors, please forgive me but feel free to point them out!

Sherlock being referred to as Sherlock as apposed to Holmes is for third person purposes, it will not always be this way, such as when Watson is speaking or someone else who would use the word Holmes is.

Thank ya.
