And here we are winding down the chapters into Molly's pregnancy only two more chapters and two more weeks to go before the little Hooper-Holmes baby boy comes along. Who here in the Sherlolly fandom is excited to finally find out the babies full name?
Chapter 19: Moriarty?
33 weeks since Sherlock's fake death and 30 weeks pregnant
Molly was just plain sick of it, of listening to person after person that she barely even knew asking her the same question. "Is it Moriarty's?"
Okay so maybe it was really only two people. But still it was only two weeks. Two blasted stinking weeks was all Molly had dated Jim from IT for. Before, everything had happened with Jim and Sherlock; the faking of Sherlock's death, her helping him to keep it a secret, and the lying to his friends.
Two weeks that were so far apart from the weeks after she had found out she was first pregnant with her son. But, somehow people couldn't seem to see that. Then again, it was Donovan and Riley who both idiots were taking a page out of her boyfriend, no lover, colleague, and father of her child perhaps. Yup, father of her child and person with hum she was in a postponed relationship with would be as close of title as Molly could think to give for what she and Sherlock were. All things considered their present arrangement what with Sherlock being dead to the world and all.
So when the next unfortunate soul asked her if it was Moriarty's?
Molly flat-out screamed at the top of her lungs, as she was bending over the freshly dead cadaver that she was examining of a girl who had been strangled to death, "why don't you mind your own damn business, because it's not any of your concern who the father of my child is, even though it's not Moriarty's!"
After that, no one else decided to ask the now hormonal girl from Saint Bartholomew's Hospital whether she was carrying the offspring of a crazed psychopath. While Molly and Michael both decided that maybe it was a good idea if she took her maternity leave a little early.
FanFicGirl10: Lestrade actually doesn't know that Molly is pregnant at all at this point. It was just part of John's thought process in the fact that he was honoured to be chosen as the baby's godfather over the other two men that Molly knows.
The reason Lestrade wasn't included is because as we all know from season two sherlock's death resulted in him temporarily being out of a job and in my opinion spending a lot of time in bars as a result. Not the kind of place that a pregnant women would want to venture into. So the two haven't run into each other much as of late. Plus I figure that Molly partially feels guilty because she is indirectly responsible for him being suspended in the first place. But, don't worry he will find out at some point.
