As months went by Sherrinford became more present in Sherlock and Molly's life . He would show up in places they were eating or at events they attended. He even decided to show up at crime scenes and beat Sherlock at solving the cases just to get under his brothers skin.
Sherlock was furious and began to isolate himself from Molly and the twins he would spend more time at his old flat doing God knows what and pinning papers to the wall. He became obsessed with trying to destroy his little brother and it was becoming clear that Molly was getting fed up.
Molly called the sitter to watch the twins one day and made her way into town . She stopped at a tall office building and went in . As she got in the elevator and pressed the button for her floor she couldn't help but feel the crack in her heart get bigger. She held back her tears as she walked into the law office and greeted the receptionist.
"You may go in . He's ready for you." The girl spoke with a smile.
Molly gave her a polite forced smile and walked into her lawyers office.
"Mrs. Holmes , what can I help you with today? " He asked with a smile
" I need to file some papers." She said with seriousness.
The Lawyers face fell as he realized what she meant .
"Are you sure? " he asked .
She nodded her head .
At 221B Sherlock was a mess with drugs laying across the flat. He would mumble to himself and try to figure out ways his brother could have committed the crimes he solved .
A knock on the door brought him back as he swiftly walked to the door and jerked it open expecting to yell at Mrs. Hudson, but instead was greeted by his wife .
"Molly.......I um. How are you? I'm sure you are doing fine with the um .....the kids . I was planning on coming back after I finished this..."
"Don't! Sherlock...... don't worry about coming back home. " Molly stopped him mid sentence . She shoved the papers at him and waited for him to focus on the writing, If he even could .
Sherlock read the words on the paper and looked up at Molly in shock.
"You can't..." was all that came out as his voice started to crack.
"I'm sorry. " she said as she walked away from him and out of the building.
She finally let the tears fall and she got into her car and drove away.
