Heavenly Holmes • Sherlock x Reader

Intro

"Stay with me, love...I've got you..."

I groan to the pain in my body as I feel somebody squeeze my hand.

I'm tired. My entire body feels light, like I could float away at any given second.

"Sir, we're going to need to ask you to leave, her condition is fatal."

Sherlock tries to let go of my hand, but I squeeze it.

I violently force my eyes open with pain just to look at him.

His eyes are bloodshot, he hasn't slept, his curls are messy and he's lost a bit of weight.

"Y/N..." He stares down at me, gently stroking my cheek as I stare at him.

My throat hurts, and I am overall in far too much pain to speak.

Yet somehow...he knows what I'm saying.

"You're a hero, all across England, you know that?" Sherlock smiles, as tears roll down his cheeks.

"We'd all be dead...without you." John and Mary join him.

"Thank you, mummy."

My eyes widen and I see him. He walks to my side and places his small hand on my face.

His little body hugs me as Sherlock stands behind him, stroking my hair with trembling hands.

"Why does she have to go, daddy...?"

There a brief pause of silence, I hear John take Mary out of the room.

"Mommy... is an angel from heaven. And angels can't stay on Earth forever, so she's...simply returning to her home, William."

My eyelids become heavy with tears as I see William waving:

"G-Goodbye, mummy..."

Sherlock kisses my cheek, his tears falling on my face and joining with my own:

"Goodbye, mummy..." He mimics William, making me smile a genuine, effortless smile.

My pulse quickens, I hear fast beeping indicating my depart.

The beeping continues, and I take an almost magical breath, fresh out from my lungs.

Then I feel nothing.

My senses stop.

I see white.
