I recovered slowly but surely, even my broken ribs did, with some help of John. I was able to walk properly again without help in about 2 weeks. I also went back on cases as soon as I was about to walk again, but Sherlock stayed with me all the time, just in case Moriarity came back. Ofcourse I was scared Moriarity would come back, but I was prepared for the time he would come.

As I was back at 221B again, Mycroft popped in to check in on us on Sundays. I made a great progress in a short time, I started to learn how to trust again. I got back to training and got used to the 'normal' life. Well, for as much you could call it normal.

The next morning I woke up from the feeling of someone gently touching the scars over my body. I opened my eyes and saw Sherlock laying next to me in his bed. 

"Morning Y/N." I heard him say.

"Morning Sher." I replied.

As I tried to get up, I fell back on the bed. Sherlock looked at me worried: "Y/N? Are you okay?

"Yeah I'm okay. It's just the Morphine, I took a bit too much yesterday."

He helped me up from the bed and led me into the livingroom. As soon as I saw Mycroft sitting on the couch, I recalled that it was a Sunday morning:

 "Goodmorning Y/N, how are you?" Mycroft asked

"Morning. Could be better, but fine." I chuckled

Sherlock walked over to the kitchen as I was talking with Mycroft. A couple minutes later he walked back into the livingroom, but this time with breakfast.

"I brought you some morphine too." He smiled.

"Thank you." I thanked him.

I started eating my breakfast.

When we finished, Sherlock broke the silence; "I've got a case, so i've got to go." He said

"I'll go with you." I replied.

"Hell no, you are not." Mycroft interupted

"Why not?" I asked, kinda pissed off now

At this, Mycroft snapped. "Y/N, you're not! You're being hunted down by a pshychopath, isn't that obvisious? I order you to stay home! "

As he jumped up and walked towards me, I flinched.

As I flinched the whole room went silent. Everyone staring at me. I looked down, trying not to have to meet their gazes.

I stood up, still looking to the floor, and walked towards my room. Everybody's eyes still following me. As I walked to trough the doorway, my legs felt like pudding and I fell to the ground. In response, both men ran towards me, but I had already blacked-out.

I woke up on the couch, Sherlock holding my hand, Mycroft glaring at me out of the corner of the room.

"Ah, there you are again." Sherlock said.

I recalled what happend, the morphine I had used was probably really strong and a bit too much.
"Just go back to sleep darling, you need to rest." Sherlock said.

"Mycroft, can you keep an eye on her? I need to get some more morphine." 
I saw Mycroft nod.

A couple of minutes later Sher left, Mycroft walked in to me and sat down next to me.
"Y/N, I'm so sorry about what happend. I didn't mean to scare you." He said, I could hear regret in his voice.

"It's okay Mycroft, I get it. I'm a little more sensitive, but you already knew that." I giggled.
Both of us went silent.
