A reflection

Unexpected circumstances

Blue eyes met brown as Sherlocks eyes flew open. Molly stood , frozen to the spot. Silence echoed around the room as Sherlock stared at the woman before him. Molly felt her knees begin to shake.

Might as well get it out the way with ....

" Sherlock I .. I She......"

She was cut off mid sentence as a pair of arms hugged her tight cutting off her speech.

Well this was unexpected. But what happened next, she really didn't anticipate for. Sherlock grabbed her face and placed a delicate kiss on her mouth. Molly felt herself melting into the moment but she could feel a wave of confused emotions hit her. Sherlock pulled away to see tears streaming down Molly's face.

" Hey , what's up , I wasn't that bad was I ?"

Molly laughed but , I ... You"

She sat on the sofa and just cried. Sherlock was really confused. What had he done? 

" Molly , what's wrong?"

Sherlock sat down next to her and hugged her.

" I ...thought that you would be...angry. I should have told you about John. I wanted to Sherlock , it killed me ! I wanted to tell you every second of the day , but I couldn't.... If I did then -"

"- I would be dead".

Molly stopped crying and looked up into Sherlock's eyes . " How did you ."

" I knew , as soon as I found this room in my mind palace I knew. It was your room Molly ,  everything you loved was in there, all the cases you helped me on"

"I have a room in your head"

Sherlock smiled. "Yes you do , and it came about by its self. I never made it"

Molly smiled and gave a small giggle. " Sherlock , I think we had better get Mycroft and John back, there's actually something they want you for"

Sherlock sighed. " Ok , let me go and get my phone" 

Before Sherlock stood up , there was a knock at the door. 

" Ill get it Sherlock" Molly stood and ran down the stairs and opened up the door. It was John and Mycroft.  Molly frowned. " Wait how did you know he wasn't freaking out?"

Mycroft smiled " Miss Hooper, I have cameras inside the office of every single president, prime minister and dictator on this planet, Do you really think that I can't get one inside my brothers flat" he said fiddling with his umbrella. 

John stepped forward " lets hope this goes better than last time" 

Molly watched as the pair began to head up the stairs. " Wait Mycroft, does that mean you can watch Sherlock at any point , but I use that living room, I sleep " 

" Miss Hooper , I run this country , I have better things to do than watch that camera, besides it only switches on when Sherlock is in the room, but more specifically when there are unusual levels of adrenalin and drugs in his system." 

Molly giggled. "What " Mycroft frowned. 

" You two act like you could not care less about each other , but you really do care , it would kill either one of you if something happened to the other" 

Mycroft rolled his eyes and continued up the stairs. Molly shook her head and shut the door. 

Meanwhile John walked into the room and met with Sherlock. 

" Hello Sherlock"

" John"

" Look mate , I am sorry , but it was-"

"to protect me I know"

The pair stood awkwardly in the room until Mycroft sauntered in. " Right now you two have stopped being drama queens, we can get on with this"

He sat down on the sofa and began to talk. 

" We have had reports of an underground terrorist network in london. I need your help to dismantle it.........."

While Mycroft babbled on Sherlock looked to John and smiled. His best friend was back.
