"Where on earth is Molly?" Molly's stepmother was pacing.
"I don't know mama"
"Where on earth is Anthea?"
"I don't know mama"
"She should be home by now, unless the Prince has taken advantage of her."
"I'm sure he wouldn't; besides Anthea wouldn't let him."
"Maybe your right, maybe I am just over worried" She finally sat down.
"You've got too big a heart mama"
"I know, my darling"
There was suddenly a knock at the door and the pair both rushed to answer it as it could be the Prince.
As they opened the door Sir John was standing there smiling.
"The Prince requires an audience with you milady and your daughter."
"Is anything wrong?" She was smirking , she had won, she would have a daughter on the throne.
"Nothing is wrong milady, the Princes demand that you arrive in style."
"Then in style we shall be" The pair rushed upstairs to change into their best dresses, but without Molly's help to lace them up at the back, the pair took quite a long time.
While in the carriage on the way to the palace.
"Why does Anthea get to marry a prince? I want to marry a prince."
"The chances are when you are in court with your sister she may help you find a wealthy husband, maybe you will get a prince of your own."
"You really think so mama?"
"Not if you keep on acting like that."
"Mummy look , were here"
In the palace.
John burst through the door enough to give poor Molly a mini heart attack.
"Well?" Sherlock said, he wanted to get this over with before his temper flared.
"There here shall I show them in?" A single nod from Sherlock was all the answer he needed before running off again.
"Molly sit down." Sherlock was trying to keep her calm.
"I can't"
"Then make yourself, not long now, remember the plan. Molly took a deep breath and sat down.
There was a knock at the door. Sherlock looked across at his brother and they nodded, this was it.
A shout from Sherlock, Mycroft was never a loud man, and the door opened.
The pair walked I and bowed and then noticed Molly and the fact everyone was sitting down.
"Your highnesses, is it not customary than a man should rise when a lady enters a room?"
"I see no lady" Sherlock shot back.
"I feel I must apologise, for you seem to have found my step daughter, she is a stupid creature who is easily lost." She turned to look Molly right in the eyes. "Go home Molly, now. Do not worry your highnesses, she will be severely punished. Go home, Molly." She tried to help Molly up and as soon as Molly was stood, Sherlock was already behind the sofa, and pushing Molly's shoulders for her to sit.
"She shall not go with you, she is to remain here after the way you have cruelly treated her."
"She would have starved in the street were it not for me"
"Instead she starved in your attic, not all that much better I must say"
Mycroft spoke up, "You are to have your title stripped off you and you are to shipped away on the next available boat and your marriage annulled. Good day Madame, guards"
"Molly your free"
"Does this mean all our dreams come true?"
"I hope so "
"I don't have dreams only nightmares"
"Then I will you safe"
And they all lived happily ever after.
Except Molly's stepmother and step sister.
Or did they.
"Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?.."
