Chapter 6

Molly opened the door of her apartment. She was greeted by Toby, rubbing against her leg and meowing.

"Yes, yes, here I am."

She went to the kitchen and poured some milk for him into a bowl.

Then she went to her room and took off her black dress. Black wasn't part of her universe. She liked bright colors and flowers. Or at least she used to. Now her life had been turned upside down and she wasn't sure about anything anymore.

She paused for a moment in front of the mirror and looked at her exposed belly. There was no bump showing yet, but she couldn't help placing her hand over her stomach.

She still had to tell her parents. Her mother was always teasing her about how she should find a nice guy and start a family. But this was an entire different story… She had got herself pregnant by a man she couldn't even call her boyfriend, and now he was dead. Her "happily ever after" dreams had been crashed by the phone call she received one week ago.

It was 9 AM and she was still in bed. She had been working a late shift the night before. She woke up to her phone ringing; it was John Watson. She answered with a still sleepy voice.

"John?"

"Hello, Molly"

"Where are you? You guys disappeared - I've been worried!"

"We had to leave the country. I'm in Geneva now."

"Oh I see. Any news, I mean about… Moriarty ?

"It's over."

"What do you mean?"

"Moriarty is dead. The police are going to arrest the whole gang now. Molly, you need to stay at home and lock yourself up, OK? They could try to get revenge…"

"Oh god! I…I don't know what to say…I suppose it's for the best. So, are you coming back now?"

"Yes, I'm at the airport. Molly… there is something else…"

"Is Sherlock with you?"

"Molly, Sherlock…is not coming back"

"What?"

"Molly I don't know how to tell you this…" He paused and she could hear him sighing loudly. His voice was weird. Her heart started beating faster.

"John, what happened?"

"Sherlock… didn't make it"

"No…"

"There was a fight, they both… I'm sorry. Believe me, I'm so sorry".

Molly hung up on him. She had to run to bathroom and throw up, and this time it was not from the morning sickness.
