The four stood in shock.
Sherlock had a daughter?!
Willow strated to look discouraged, no one wanted to shake hands with her?
Mary reacted first and grabbed Willows hand, "Hi, my name's Mary, I'm glad I got to meet you Willow." She smiled. "This is John, my husband. John why don't you say hello" She said, John got the picture. "Hi Willow, I'm John..."
Mary edged forward to Sherlock. "Explain" She said strenly.
"Erm, well, apparently when Molly was in Canada she had Willow. She's moved back to London and I ran into her at Bart's. Willow wanted to become aquaitented with me, I thought you'd ought to know..." He said.
"Molly's moved back? And wait... you guys have a kid now?" Mary asked. Sherlock shrugged.
"I suppose"
The two heard Mrs. Hudson staring to Grandmother Willow.
"Would you like some hot chocolat dear? ... "How about some biscuits? ... Your welcome to stay here whenever you like ... "
John and Lestrade took the oppertunity to edge over to Sherlock and Mary. "She doesn't seem like a psychopath... " Greg murmered.
"Actually she's a lot like seem a lot like..." John paused. "... Molly." He finished.
Mary gave him a look.
"So you and Molly..." Greg said.
Sherlock rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Lestrade. But that's beside the point."
"Then what is the point?" John asked.
"The point is that I have a child now and Molly still doesn't like me." Sherlock said.
"Oh really she doesn't like you? You ditched her at her wedding! And left her to raise your child on her own!" John hissed.
"I didn't know she had a child!" Sherlock said. He paused, "And I wasn't ready to marry." He said, thinking of an excuse.
"Sherlock..." Mary was cut off by Willow. She ran up to John. "You look like a hedgehog!" She exclaimed.
Sherock took the oppertunity to scoot away to his room. Mary followed.
After he closed to door Mary spoke. "You can't lie tome Sherlock, you know that. Why didn't you marry Molly?" She asked,
He sighed and looked around cautiously, "James Moriarty."
"Blackmail." She whispered.
He nodded, "That's why I need to find him. I find him, I capture him, I can try to make amends with Molly."
"You really do love her." She sighed.
He nodded.
"Willow seems nice." Mary said.
"Like her mother. It was probably best I didn't raise her."
From the room they heard the doorbell. They walked out to see who it was.
Mrs. Hudson opened to door to Molly who was texting on her phone. She looked up and noticed everyone straing at her.
"Oh, hello everyone." She said.
