Well here it is the next Chapter I what I wanted it to be about figured out just actually writing it the way I wanted took longer than I thought it wood. Also I am leaving tomorrow to go spend several day with relatives of mine who have no internet which means the next chapter will take a while before I can upload it.

Originally Basil was supposed to be an actual Mouse and the first pet of Sherlock and Molly's son. But as I thought about it I realized that what with Molly already having a pet cat, a pet mouse would be a recipe for disaster, so instead Basil went from being a pet mouse to a stuffed mouse. I also toyed with the idea of who would give the stuffed mouse its name and my first idea was that the mouse would go without one until my character was older. However, as I was writing this chapter and drafting the next chapter I couldn't help but have the little mouse name Basil be my character's first stuffed animal, and so it fell to Molly and Mary to give the little rodent its name.

As for what Basil looks like I based him on Mimi the mischievous mouse by Dimple-US Stuffed Animals Storefront with a few alterations to its coloring and appearance. Attached is the link for a picture of the image I based Basil the mouse on: MIMI-Mischievous-Mouse-Inch-Dimpel/dp/B00CCQHVES/ref=sr_1_77?m=A20BN3RZ66NCDX&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1406077952&sr=1-77

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock nor the Great Mouse Detective and its character Basil.

Chapter 13: Shopping

19 weeks since Sherlock's death and 16 weeks pregnant

Hearing about what it took to raise a child from expecting mother who had already been through the experience at the birthing classes she was going to was one thing, and so was looking through several baby magazines. But, it was another thing entirely to stand among the rows upon rows of baby items, that stores like the London Baby"R"Us held. It was like being in a maze except one didn't know where to begin looking and were to end their search. This was because there was so much well stuff, was the best way Molly could think to describe the vast sea of babies supplies that surrounded her on all angels. It was impressive and somewhat intimidating at the same time, as Molly had never seen so many brands of diaper, strollers, baby clothing and the like in her life.

Molly glanced at the list she had written after spending several hours of research and talking to other mom's and in the end she was still shocked, about how much stuff was actually needed for a baby. From the varying sizes in clothes all the way down to the different items that would be needed in the house to make sure her little bundle of joy was happy, healthy, and safe.

"Molly look at this," Mary shouted grabbing her friend by her arm "you've got to see this it is, well it's just so, it's too cute for words. You're going to love it" She squealed with glee as she tried to get Molly to move along past the bedding and furniture department where Molly had just placed the crib mattress and the three packages of green sheets, a dark green and blue blanket, and a mobile all with matching woodland animals theme on them into her cart. Having already finished buying the rest of the furniture she would need along with a three in one stroller, and the car seat she would need for taking her boy home from the hospital the following week. This Wednesday, Molly was just here to pick up the small apparel and the odds and ends that her child still needed, with Mary in tow who was trying to drag her into the toy section of the London's Baby"R"Us department store.

"All right," Molly exclaimed "I'm coming, now what is this too cute for words thing that I am going to love that you want to show me Mary."

"This," Mary said as she stopped at one of the shelves, that held animals of all shapes, colors, and sizes scrunched up against one another, with some of the bigger one looking like they were about to fall off the shelf.

But, it was one stuffed animal in particular that Molly's friend was now gesturing to. Sitting directly in Molly's line of vision, sandwiched between a large red fox with a tail that was twice as long as its body and a brown bear with a crooked face, was a tiny 8 inch mouse. The fur of the mouse was a dark chocolate-brown save for a small patch of white fur in the shape of the letter B, suggesting that several strands of the wrong color were mistakenly used in the making of the animals fake fur. The ears were also mismatched in size, with one being slightly bigger than the other while the whiskers curved about instead of lying straight, as whiskers normally were prone to do. The eyes of the mouse were a pair of perfectly green stitched eyes that matched the nose. But, it was the small stuff of hair sticking out from the mouse's head and the blue scarf around the neck that sealed the deal and made Molly consider this lonely little mouse out of the hundreds of stuffed animals for sale that day.

A little mouse that had constantly been passed over for newer and better looking stuffed animals because there were parts of him that looked deformed. Never mind that the red sticker attached to the tag that it whore in one ear, which marked it as a reject stuffed animals or the sign that hung above with the words animals with red tag's 75% off in big bold lettering.

"Mary, he looks just like Sherlock," Molly exclaimed as she looked at the mouse with shock "he's perfect."

"I told you'd love it, I even have the perfect name, and trust me you'll like it a lot better than Benedict, Molly."

"Okay, what is it?" Molly asked as she picked up the little mouse and plopped it into her shopping cart among the other items that she had already decided to buy that day.

"Basil after that Disney character Basil of Baker Street," Mary smiled happily as she followed her friend headed for the clothing and diaper ails.

"Basil" Molly thought about how the name sounded and whether it fit the little mouse. Glancing down at the little rodent where he was resting against her son's comforter, and how much it reminded her of the father of her unborn son, she had to agree with Mary that the name Basil defiantly fit the little fellow. "Alright," Molly agreed, "Basil it is."

And that was how Basil the mouse came to live at Molly's apartment.
