Chapter 6: A Brief Goodbye

The children now turned towards their newly found parents.

"So…" began Nox. "What now then, eh?"

The three adults turned to one another.

"Yes," continued Carter, "where will we stay? What will we do?"

Sherlock looked around Molly's small flat. "Until further notice," he began, "I believe the girls shall stay at Baker Street." He glanced at Molly. "I suppose you should stay in the guest room as well. You are their mother."

Molly blushed. "Yes...I suppose so...let me just gather my things together. I could be ready to um, move in for them in a few days."

"Of course."

John looked between the two. Molly was reddening, and Sherlock remained seemingly impassive, as though he hasn't just asked the woman who had been pretty obviously crushing on him for ages to move in with him. "Right…"said John to Molly. "So, I guess we better return home." He gestured to the kids in the room (Sherlock counted as a kid as well).

"Obviously." said Nox.

"Yes…"said Molly. The twins could tell she was unsure how to say goodbye. Carter and Nox looked at each other for a moment, in silent conversation. Carter gave a barely perceptible nod to her sister. Together, they calmly walked over, giving their petite mother a hug. Molly smiled and returned it.

After the girls broke apart, John hugged Molly as well before leading the twins out of the pathologist's flat.

Only Sherlock now remained. "Well, goodbye Molly…" Sherlock looked unsure whether to hug her or not, seeing as he wasn't the hugging sort, but decided to just give her a nod."Goodbye." he repeated. He turned and walked to Molly's oak wood door. He turned for a moment, hesitating. "And Molly?" he asked.

Molly's heart fluttered. "Yes Sherlock?"

Sherlock, paused, seeming to be trying quite hard to find the right words. "Molly...thank you...for...helping me take care of them." He turned and left before Molly could respond, joining the former army doctor and twins outside.

Molly blushed a bit, putting a hand to her forehead, feeling where he had very briefly kissed her. She stared at the place the Belstaff coat had vanished from a few seconds ago. She softly replied to him, though she knew he couldn't hear her. "You're welcome, Sherlock Holmes."

Yep, so no, this is NOT the last chapter. The last one will be posted probably next week. And warning, it might be a bit unsettling. IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE REICHENBACH FALL YET DO NOT READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Also, sorry that this was so short. We knew how we wanted it to end, so this is really sort of a filler.
