Sherlock's POV.
Jawn got out of the elevator and walked over to me.
"She wants a cellmate, I told her I'd talk to you but probably not." John explained.
"Well, I think that's a bad idea and I'm glad you told her no. We should get going now, I need to think and have a chat with Lastrade." We walk towards the door and back to the helicopter.
"I need to get Gracie from Molly." He looked a little worried as he said that.
"Don't worry, she's alright. We haven't been away that long." I gave John a reassuring smile and helped him into the helicopter. I went to the other side and got in. I started the chopper and headed towards home.After we were flying in silence for a while John spoke,
"Sherlock, what is it about me that you like? When we met you told me that you were dedicated to your work, so why are you with me? Was it just so I didn't feel bad if you rejected me?" I was a little shocked by his question.
"I love you John, I'm happy to be with you. As for what I like about you, I like your personality, your smile, your lovely blue eyes, I love you John. You're perfect." I give Jawn a loving smile, he smiles back.
"That's good to know. I love you too Sherl."We reach the mainland and head for Mycroft's house to drop off his helicopter. We get to Mycroft's house, leave the helicopter in his front yard and start walking to a main road, so that a cab can find us.
"We'll go to Molly's first so we can get Gracie." I don't want John to worry about her anymore.
"Sounds good to me." John calls a cab and it picks us up 5 minutes later.
"Where to?" It's the same cabbie as yesterday. I give him the address and we head off. We arrive at Molly's house and John gets out hurriedly.John and I walk up to the door, I knock and walk in.
"Molly, we're here to get Gracie." Molly is standing in the kitchen holding Gracie on her hip, Molly appears to be making oatmeal for Gracie.
"Oh! Hello Sherlock, hello John. I was just making some food for Gracie, she was being awful fussy before your cab pulled in. I suppose she just wanted her dad." Molly smiles and brings Gracie over to John, he takes her from Molly and holds her to his chest.
"Thank you for watching Gracie for us Molly, I appreciate it. Sorry that it took us a while to come pick her up. Working on a big case." John is mostly paying attention to Gracie but talking to Molly.
"Really? Have you got it figured out yet?" Molly turns off the stove.
"Yeah, turns out that Eurus is involved. I'm not sure if it's solved yet, you'd have to ask Sherl about that one." John looks over at me, I'm examining some statues on a shelf in the corner.
"Yes we've solved it, the only thing we have left to do is tell Lastrade the news so that he can tell the public. We've got to get going." I walk away from the statues and over to Molly and John.
"Well, that's good. I don't suppose you'd want to stay for tea?" Molly asks, looking hopefully at me and John.
"We don't have time now, but we can come over after we talk to Lastrade if you've got time then." I say, trying to make her feel better about us leaving so soon.
"I'm free all day. So I'll see you later?" The thought about us coming for tea later seems to have made her happier.
"Yeah see you then Molly, bye." John waves then walks out of the door."You don't mind walking do you? The station is only two blocks away." John is still paying a lot of attention to Gracie.
"I don't mind, no. Let's hurry so that Lastrade isn't too impatient when we arrive." He takes his eyes off Gracie and walks a little faster.
"Alright." I say simply, also walking faster.
