Molly and Sherlock reentered the room only to hear Isabella cry and say "I didn't get the chance to tell him. I'm pregnant."
At this Molly ran over and started to console Isabella.
John sighed, and Sherlock fainted.
2 days later
Isabella was curious as to why or how Sherlock gained the ability or skill for deduction. She had a little morning sickness. Okay maybe a lot, she couldn't believe that G was dead, but she still loved him. Now that she was eating better the signs of pregnancy were really kicking in. When she and Molly went bra shopping she was shocked at the prices.
Why do I have to wear these? I like having my boobs be free.
Trust me it might be weird at first but it will eventually help.
Molly is that you?
Sally, wow what are you doing here?
Getting a new bra, who is this?
Hi, I'm Isabella, I'm staying with Sherlock Holmes
"Oh you're the girl that John's been writing about on his blog. My condolences. Wait, is that a diamond ring?" Sally squawked.
"Yes, G apparently was planning to propose before he died." Isabella said, rubbing her tummy.
"So it's true that you're pregnant? Greg wants to meet the girl that fell in love with a kill- oh I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that." Sally stuttered
"It's honestly understandable that it would be surprising. But just because someone seems heartless for killing so many, doesn't mean that they are heartless." Isabella said, now thinking about how her life had changed, and how it would change even more.
"Wow, you love him even though he killed?" Sally asked, shocked at the girls response
"Yes, the people contracting him had very little leverage. But then when they found out about me, he had the desire to protect me even more. And that's actually when we realized our feelings for one another."
Once they got back to the flat. John had written more on his blog about the girl who stole the heart of a killer. The blog was blowing up.
Suddenly a news alert appeared on the Telly.
Earlier today in a store a person claimed to hear about the girl who stole the killer Golem's heart. And is carrying this killer's child. If possible this news station would love to hear from the girl herself.
May I do that?
Do what?
The interview, people want to know so I want them to know.
No you may not. It would make you a target. John replied, already seeing this girl as his own family.
Isabella, hide in my room my brother's here.
There were footsteps coming up the stairs. Along with a third tap.
"Oh brother mine, is it true you have a girl who befriended the disgusting creature of a man. Honestly I don't see how she could fall in love with that." Mycroft glanced around the room frowning.
Isabella had to fight off slight nausea, she remained hidden. She knew that Mycroft was just trying to get a reaction out of her.
"Honestly Sherlock, I think it would be best if the thing was aborted. The public would fear that thing." Mycroft continued his speech that he had rehearsed on the ride over.
Isabella bit her tongue. She knew that he was just trying to push her over the edge.
"Brother dear, I know she's here, just bring her out so I can meet her." Mycroft finished scowling.
Isabella whispered to Buttons.
Buttons walked out of the bedroom snorting happily.
"A pig, she has to be here." Mycroft smiled smugly.
Buttons then waited until Mycroft was about to take a step and he snuck in between his legs. There was a thud, and curses.
Buttons then started peeing on Mycroft's crotch.
"Don't be an arse, her pig is smart, don't make him bite you." Sherlock replied, fighting off the urge to grin.
"Fine I'll take my leave, but I will meet her before the abomination is born." Mycroft snapped back. Grumbling about needing a new suit.
He left the flat, and as soon as he got back into the car, Isabella came out from the bedroom.
"I know that was mean and he was just trying to get a reaction, but I'm glad I didn't let him meet me. Hey and don't look at me, Buttons did it." She said, trying not to smile.
6 weeks later
Isabella was going stir crazy. Sherlock would not let her even leave the flat. So he got her a laptop. He downloaded Steam, and downloaded Stardew Valley along with 112 Operator. She had played it lots. Now she just wanted to get some sun, eat cinnamon sugar pretzels, peaches with pickles, and a pickle mayonnaise cheese sandwich with whipped topping.
Plus she also wanted to go swimming, look at baby clothes, and look at pit bulls on death row. She never told anyone about the pit bulls though.
"Isabella, come on, you'll want to see this." Sherlock said keeping his tone flat, she had no idea what he was planning.
Isabella got up at nearly 3 ½ months pregnant. She was crabby, although she was happy she no longer had morning sickness. Sherlock had insisted that she take his bedroom while he took the couch. He had also placed his wardrobe in front of the window so no one could sneak in and hurt Isabella.
She groggily got up Buttons following, she got up only to be tackled by 2 somethings, she opened her eyes to see four eyes staring back at her. She rubbed her eyes some more. Pitt bulls, these were big ones, but they were still puppies.
"Haha haha! How did you know?" Isabella said, trying not to laugh from the attacks of kisses.
"You talk in your sleep. Along with farting. You need to stop eating Raisin Bran before bed. I know you like it, but Mrs. Hudson complained last night." he took a breath before continuing, "These are Merlin and Arthur, they were put on death row after their owners had a baby. They didn't want the dogs near the baby. They are also good with other animals."
Merlin whined, to which Buttons snorted, Buttons then led Merlin into the bathroom. There were sounds and then Merlin came out happily.
"Did Buttons just…. you know what, I'm not gonna question it." Isabella realized that wasn't the craziest thing that had happened.
"Isabella, I also have one more surprise for you," Sherlock held up 2 leads with harnesses. "You can now take a few walks. For the first walk Sally will be with you. And I thought you might want to take a walk immediately so she is downstairs."
Isabella walked to the bathroom, then came back out before changing. Then she put the leads on the dogs.
About 15 minutes into the walk, everything started to slowly turn sour.
"Is there an inscription? On the ring I mean." Sally asked,
Uh yes it says Isabella, my heart thief love G
That's so romantic, he really must be a sweetheart.
He was, he was, but I'm glad I still have something to remember him by.
Sherlock said you have a pig?
Yes, his name is Buttons. He's potty trained.
Wow, that's amazing. Do you want to grab something to eat?
God yes, I think John's monitoring what I eat, I tried to return to a package of Oreos and they were gone. I didn't eat them, I only ate about a ¼ of the box. Maybe just some ice cream, or a donut.
How about both? But in return I want to know how you met.
Sure, well I was cutting, and hiding in an alley. When this tall, slender man came rushing by. He saw me, bloody arms, eyes hazy and my pale skin. He picked me up and brought me home. Yes when I woke up I was scared, until I realized that He had bandaged my arms, and he had reduced a fever I didn't even know that I had. Buttons trusted him, and then so did I.
How did your relationship start?
Well I knew he was killing people, but only in exchange for either medical supplies, food, or a little money. Never a whole lot. When the people who employed him found out about me they threatened to harm me. We both thought they were bluffing. They weren't. I got a gunshot to the leg. But what started the relationship was when a random thug came across me, I told him repeatedly that he was going to die by the wrath of The Golem, but he didn't believe me. He tried to attack me sexually. That's when G saved me. He carried me all the way home. I was so relieved that I blurted out that I'm so glad I fell in love with a man like you. From then on we had a relationship whenever he had a bad day or when they threatened to hurt me, we would just cuddle.
Wow, that's amazing. Wow, I just, wow.
Arthur and Merlin stood at attention. Looking towards the man that was approaching.
He was walking with an umbrella, and had a small mole.
Hello ladies, how was the ice cream?
Mycroft Holmes, if you do anything to harm my unborn child, I will call your mother.
I know you were doing it knowing I was there. Oh sorry about Buttons "accident" she said this using finger quotes.
Smart pig, sort of a sha-
"This is Merlin and Arthur, Pitt bulls, they are the most tolerant breed of dog. Don't finish that sentence, I am prepared to call your mother as soon as I get back. So I will politely say," she now turned from the cheery voice to a flat tone, "fuck off."
Fine, but I don't think my mother would have any interest in you.
I'm sure she would love to meet her grandchild, and great grandchild.
Nice try. I highly doubt my mother will fall for that.
I'm living in the same flat as your brother.
Fine, enjoy having your child while it lasts.
"Sally, do you think we can head back now. I think I'll want to stay inside from now on." Once they got back to the flat, Isabella broke down. Sherlock came running. Mycroft stopped by at the park, I'm scared, he threatened my child. I don't want to leave until my child is born.
Sally call Greg, have him stay here while I take care of a few things.
3 hours later Sherlock came back, this time with some papers.
Sherlock what is going on? Why did you need me to be here? And what are those papers?
Isabella I want you to sign these, once you do, Mycroft will feel the wrath of my mother. They're adoption papers. Then I'm going to take you to my parents house, they live on a large amount of land. If Mycroft comes too close, things will go sour for him. We need more than one witness.
3 days later the paperwork had been official, Isabella was now Isabella Holmes. That same day, there was a trip to the Holmes's. As soon as Sherlock rang the doorbell, his mother came running out, oh Sherlock this is a lovely surprise. Oh and who is this young dear?
That would be your grandchild. I recently adopted her. Her name is Isabella. I hope you don't mind if she stays for a while. Mycroft threatened her.
"HE DID WHAT! WHY DID HE THREATEN MY GRANDCHILD!" She shouted in pure rage
He threatened to harm your great-grandchild. She said, rubbing her belly.
Great-grandchild! If he hurts a hair on your head. I will stop him at all costs. Dear come in come in.
I will probably come back to this to add quotation marks and clarify who is speaking. But I wanted to update as many fics as possible for the moment because I now realize how terrible I was for leaving you guys for about maybe 5 years? I'm so so sorry for being gone for so long. Let me know if anything is ever wrong. Also sorry if some characters are OOC.
RC out!
