Coming Back To You

Chapter 2

     "Are you my Daddy?" 

     Sherlock stared at this little girl. "No, go away" He said. He started to walk away but she followed. "No, you are! I saw you Mummy's phto album!" She said. He sighed, "I'm not your..." He stopped and got a good look at her. The resembalence between the two ofthem was strikingly obvious."Who are you?" He asked. 

     "I'm Willow! Nice to meet you!" She said holding out her hand. He didn't take it. "Where are your parents?" he asked. "Mummy's working downstaires in the mor.. the mort..." She struggled to say. "The mortuary?" He asked slowly. "Yeah that!" She said. "What's your mother's name?" He asked. "Well, I call her Mummy, but everyone else calls her Molly" She says cheerfully. Sherlock feels like he might faint.

     "Come on! Let's go say hi!" She says, taking his hand and pulling him downstaires. Sherlock let's the small child drag him down a flight down staires. She stopped outside to the doors to the mortuary. 

     "Mummy! Mummy! I was upstaries and I found..." Molly turned around, "Willow, I told you..." She dropped the metal pan she was holding. The two adults eyes locked. Everyone was quiet, them Willow reovered. "I found my daddy!"

     Then she noticed their expressions. "Is mommy alright?" She asked, letting go of her father and running to her mother. "Everything's fine darling," she says, breaking Sherlock and her shared gazes at each other. Willow looked quizzically, "You're sure?" She asked. She smiled and nodded.

     "How did you know that Sherlock was..." Molly started. "I saw his picture in the photo's in the attic! Can I meet Mary, John, their daughter, Greg and Missus Hudson to?" She asked. Molly just gave her a half smile. "Maybe" She replied. Sherlock just started in half awe and blinked slowly. "Though I think Sherlock needs to go home now" She said, giving him a glare.

     "Err, um right. Goodbye Molly and..." He paused, "... Willow." He said walking the other way. "Wait!" She exclaimed. She ran after Sherlock. "I want to go with Daddy!" She said. Moolly and Sherlock both froze. "I think Sherlock is busy darling..." She says.

     "No! Please Mommy, I haven'y had a daddy for my whole life and I love you but if you love me you will let me see my daddy!" She yells. Everyone is silent. "Please Mummy..." She said quietly. Molly sighed, "Sherlock?" She asked. He snapped back to reality. 

     "Huh? Oh, yes, of course she can come!" He saidmore enthusiastically then he meant to. Willow had a uge smile on her face. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She hugged ehr sherlock tightly around the waist. He was taken aback. "You can... um... pick her up at Baker Street." He said awkwardly. "Right, have fun Willow" Molly said. Willow let go and grabbed his hand.

     "So your name is Sherlock Holmes?" She asks as they walk up the staires. "Where do you live?" "What do you do?" Sherlock didn't have enough time to answer any of the questions he was asked. 

     They arrived outside where Sherlock called hailed cab. "Why did Mummy leave?" She asked. Sherlock froze at the question.

     "It's.... complicated" He said slowly. She sighed. "Whatever, so who's John? And Mary? What about Greg? Or Mrs. Hudson?" Will I get yo meet them to?" She asked."Maybe" He said. "Please?" She said with puppy dog eyes. He sighed. "Fine"

    "Lestrade, John and Mary are coming"He said. She smiled. "Thank you! What about Mrs. Hudson?" She asked. "You'll meet Mrs. Hudson" He said. "Well, I can'y wait to meet them!" She said.  She reached over and hugged him. "I'm glad I met you" She said. He hesitantly hugged back. "And I" He said.

     Sherlock paid the cabby and the two got out. "Mrs Hudson! Can you make some tea?" He asked. "Not your house keeper!" She called back. "Then at least come up to 221B when John and Mary arrive!" He called."What for?"

     "A suprise!" He called back. He picked Willow up and ran upstaires. "So, none of them know you existed so your going to be a suprise" He said. "Alright. Let's play a game" She said. "What kind of game?" He asked. "I ask you 20b questiobs, then you ask me 20 questions, because we don't know anything about each other!" She said.

     "Do you know chess?" He asked. "No" She replied. "What about operation?" He asked. "Yes!" She said exitedly. "Then let's play both at the same time" He said.

     And that's how Lestrade, John, Mary and Mrs Hudson found Sherlock playing operaton with a six year old. The four just stared. "Aw yes, glad you could all make it" He said. 

     "Sherolck did you kiddnap a child?" John asked. "What? No!" He exclaimed. "Then what are you doing?" Mary asked. "And why are we here? Lestrade asked. "Sherlock, what's going on?" Mrs. Hudson asked.

    She cleared his throat and stood up. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Willow..." He paused. "... my daughter" SHerlock said slowly. Willow smiled and hoped up. "Hello!" She said, running over to them. "My name is Willow Hooper. It's nice to meet you. I saw Mummy's photo's of you and you all looked very nice. I'm glad I could meet you!" She said brightly.
