It's always Been True.

Stay

Days after Molly was released from the hospital without Sherlock , she decided to take some time off from work as she was constantly sick from the pregnancy.  She told Sherlock,  in no uncertain terms that she wanted him to stay away for a while . The look of relief on his face when he thought she was no longer pregnant at the hospital broke her heart and further answered her questions about if he really did care for her .

Molly walked over to her kitchen counter to make some green tea and ginger to settle her stomach. Her phone was on the counter beside her and several beeps went off on her phone. It had been weeks since Sherlock had even texted her or since she had seen him. John tried to get them to talk to each other but Molly held her ground and even though Sherlock was more than willing to see her , she wasn't giving in that easy. She feared that if she saw him and looked into his eyes ....she would do anything he told her.

She had no idea how depressed Sherlock had become , he stayed In his room playing the song he composed for Molly and added another song which he composed for the babies. Somehow they had become more slow and melancholy.  He refused cases from Lestrade whenever he would come asking for help. John was desperate so he would text Molly begging her to come over or to at least let Sherlock see her .

Molly looked at the phone and the text was from John.

*Molly please text Sherlock.  He needs you. He goes out God knows where every night and is gone for 2 hours . I fear he may be using again. I don't want to get Mycroft involved but I'm running  out of options. He left 10 minutes ago to go to where ever he goes. Please just text him. *

John's text was longer than the others he sent. Molly finally decided she should check up on sherlock just once for John and she sent a text to Sherlocks phone.

*Sherlock please let John know you are OK. I hope you are Ok.  Don't act this way. Don't worry about me and the Babies . We are fine, I just need time. Don't do this. *
Molly finally settled on the right words for her text after deleting several words over and over again. She hit the send button and sat the phone on the table and let out a sigh.

Suddenly she heard a phone chime from outside her flat door. She looked at her door and realized who's phone that was. He was outside her door. This was where he went every day for two hours. He sat outside her door and waited    for her to open the door . He never let her know he was out there he was just there .

Molly stared at the door for what seemed like ages and made her way quietly to the door so he wouldn't hear her. She pressed her ear up to the door to listen and heard Sherlock singing softly . What was he Singing? It sounded like a lullaby.  Molly began to tear up as she heard him and pressed her forehead to the door.

"Sherlock....." Was all she managed to let escape her lips.

Outside the door Sherlock sprung up from where he sat by the door and looked at the door. He placed his head on the door along with one hand.

"Molly......please. I....I need you. You know how I feel now, I'm trying." Sherlock said weakly.  He felt awful and he needed her to know he was willing to change for her.

Molly closed her eyes as tears trailed down her cheeks . She loved this man more than words could ever express and here he was at her door begging her to want him .

She unlocked her door and turned the handle . She opened the door to see Sherlock disheveled and weak looking. Tears welled in his eyes as he looked at her . He slowly smiled at her .

"Can I stay? " He spoke softly to her.

Molly's heart broke at his simple request and she knew she couldn't refuse him when he looked this way.

"Ok ...." Molly said giving him a slight smile as she moved out of the door for him to come in.

She knew he cared and that he was willing to be whatever she needed now.
