Sherlock stopped a motorbike dead in the road for the second time in his life and instructed John to get on and hang on.

He sped through the streets as cold rain started to fall , he knew exactly where to go because he knew exactly who took her, someone who everyone thought was dead , except him. He knew that somehow .....some way he was still alive, and now Moriarty knew what Sherlocks true weakness was. The one person that mattered most. He was able to fool Jim the first time but now Jim knew ....somehow he knew and took her .

As Sherlock and John arrived at St.Barts hospital,  he threw the bike down and bolted inside to make his way to the morgue.

Upon arriving , Sherlock and John were greeted with a sweet violin melody playing , Sherlocks face grew paler as he realized it was the song Sherlock had composed for Molly....her song that he had not yet played for her.

"Such a lovely song ...don't you think ? I wonder who it's for? " Moriarty  says in a sing song voice.

Sherlock scanned the room for Molly then his eyes landed on her terrified ones in a corner . She was tied to a chair and beside her on the floor was a lifeless Tom in a body bag. Her face was tear stained and she looked pale and almost lifeless herself ....she was weak and she was sick from the pregnancy.  Jim obviously didn't know she was pregnant yet, at least that's what Sherlock hoped . There was no telling what Jim would do if he knew that and if he knew who the father was.

"Let her go , and I'll do whatever you want Moriarty.  It's me you want right? So just leave her out of this and we can settle this alone." Sherlock spoke the words calmly but sternly. There was obvious worry hidden in his voice as well.

"Naaa.... I think I'll keep her, after all I do still love her ...even if it didn't last long. I think I'll Marry her, what do you say Molly shall we make it official?" Jim said as he walked over to her and caressed her face .

"KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER DO YOU HEAR ME! She is not yours and she never will be !" Sherlock shouted before even calculating what to say . The rage got to him as he watched as Moriarty leaned down to kiss Molly's cheek.

"Sherlock ....if I didn't know any better , I'd say you were jealous. I guess that sister of yours really stirred up some .....emotional context in you.  " Jim said as he gave an evil smile.

John  remained silent the whole time behind Sherlock all the while watching Molly to make sure she was ok. He then noticed her begin to slump over as if she was passing out.

"I need to examine her!!!  She needs help  for God sake! " John shouted as both men then turned to look at Molly. 

"She'll be fine...." Jim said non chalantly.

"NO SHE WON'T SHE'S PREGNANT !" John blurted the words out in anger .

Sherlock turned to John with wide eyes. Jim then gave the same expression.

"She's what? ..... certainly not the little Virgin Molly Hooper.  Who did she manage to even convince to do that? " Moriarty said in disbelief .

Sherlock was Livid by now and couldn't control his words anymore.

"ME!" Was all Sherlock said  and pulled a gun from his coat and with one swift movement pulled the trigger and shot the bullet straight into Moriartys head . His body fell lifeless on the floor as Sherlock became blinded with rage.

John quickly snapped Sherlock out of it by asking for help with Molly. The two men untied her and Sherlock carried her up into the hospital for them to examine her. John phoned Lestrad and informed him of what went down as Sherlock paced in the waiting room waiting for answers ....was she going to be ok? More importantly were they both going to be ok?
