At first I couldn't decided whether to call this chapter Jealousy or Realizations I finally decided on the latter for the title of this chapter. I also did think about making this chapter longer but I decided here was a good place to stop. As for this chapter Sherlock is basically looking back on his new found feelings for Molly and I do apologize if he seems out of character at all. Once again I do not own the right's to Sherlock and probably never will. Finally I want to thank are the people who review at 559 views for the first two chapter alone in just two days that is the most views I have ever received for a story of mine. Lets just say it has inspired me to post a third chapter already and work on this story in my spare time even though I do have other ones in the works. Such as my personal favorite Double Edge.


2 hours before Sherlock faked his death

Chapter 3: Realizations

Sherlock stood in-front of a mirror going over the plan that he and Molly had concocted in his head. Hoping that it would work. No not hopping he decided it had to work it would, for the sake of John, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, and Molly, yes even Molly who even though her life wasn't in danger, it had to work.

"You" it still hung their fresh in his thought that one word even now as he waited for the call that would give the okay to the greatest act that he had ever pull in the history of his years as a Consulting Detective. "You" that had been his answer when Sherlock was at the end of his ropes as fear set in at the thought that he was going to die so that his friends could live. He didn't want to die there were so many things to accomplish, new cases to solve, and then there was Molly Hooper. Who with her kind words and her loving heart thought that she didn't count. Those words had thrown him for a loop. Didn't count, couldn't she see that she did count that she did matter, heck she mattered more than anything why couldn't she see that. Right, its cause of you, Sherlock, it's your fault you're the one whose done this to her. You're the one who's shattered any hopes of her having a real relationship, and why? That was a question he had struggled over as he searched his mind place desperate for the answer.

It was over a month before he came up with a possible answer that it was all because you're worried about losing the only pathologist that will agree to work with you, let alone tolerate your all too sometimes cruel observations at least that's what he tried to tell himself at first. But, that wasn't the real reason no it was something else entirely he had finally come to realize about himself when it came to his pathologist. His pathologist when had he starting seeing Molly as his. Was it after the disastrous Christmas party or maybe without him realizing it, it was before that. Either way it wasn't Sherlock's desire to have access to the lab whenever he wanted that had cause him to give an astute observation about Molly's latest boyfriend, Jim from IT, who turned out to be none other than his greatest adversary. No it was something else, a feeling that he had never experienced before and didn't even think he was capable until now, jealousy.


Please don't forget to review and if you have any ideas or suggestion for things that could happen in this story feel free to send them way who knows I might just use them. Any the next chapter will probably be longer as it heavily focus on the flashback of Sherlock and Molly expressing and talking about their feelings for one another.
