I Think We Need Counseling

Chapter 7

POV John

I awoke to the sound of Sherlock's breathing. His steady breath was as regular as the alarm that would soon be going off because of my clock. I looked at him while he slept. He looked younger, and more peaceful.

I rolled over, carefully so as not to wake up Sherly, and turned the alarm off just before it was about to blast. I'll let him sleep, I thought to myself as I dressed and went downstairs.

I was making tea when he walked in, he mumbled something resembling a good morning before plopping down into a chair. I handed him his tea and he began to drink.

"Why are you up so early?" he asked, still partially asleep.

"We have counselling today." He winced when I said counselling.

"Do you really think we need it?" he asked as he set down his cup and walked towards me. He was so close that if I leaned forward his lips would press against mine.

I pressed my lips on his and I could feel him relax. My arm wrapped around his torso and pulled him closer. When we broke apart I showed him what I had in my hand.

"Yes." I replied, showing him the nicotine patch I had peeled of his arm when I wrapped mine around him.

"Touche." He whispered in my ear.

POV Jim

I woke up to the sound of Molly making tea in the kitchen, She had gotten up earlier than usual. Counselling I thought to myself as I rose and dressed. I decided on a black t-shirt and jeans, not what I'd usually wear but I didn't much care.

Molly was wearing a white and grey stripped shirt, a blue scarf, kapri's and black flats. She looked amazing but I was a little taken aback by the blue scarf. 

She turned around when I entered the room and smiled.

"Good morning!" she said handing me a cuppa.

"Good morning, what time is the car arriving to come get us?" I asked as I sipped the hot tea. Nobody made tea like Molly.

"In about 30 minutes or so I believe." she replied as she started to make breakfast.

"I'll start on the eggs." I told her as we began to make our usual breakfast of eggs and peanut butter toast.

POV Kelly

I woke up an hour before I needed to mostly so I could think of how the next meeting should go. I had told them that we would meet on Monday's but that Friday's all they had to do was stop in and drop off their Journals. I had read them over the weekend and was very intrigued. This was proving to be my hardest group yet.

I had made a list, a while ago, about different activities I could do with my groups. So this morning I was flipping threw my notebook and looking for a suitable one.

"Ahh." I said as my eyes rested on the one I had found. "This is going to be good."

POV Mycroft

I was holding Greg's hand while we waited for Jim and Molly to get in the car. Greg had been more excepting of Jim's lies but I knew the truth. I had his phone tapped, and his home surveillance he hadn't done anything yet but he knew he would slip up, they always did.
