Adventures of Sherlock

Chapter 12: "Password?"

Months later, Sherlock plays the violin while Ava echoes his Christmas song. She wore a simple winter dress. She smiles as it had been months since they revealed their love for each other. There were often times when Sherlock would find himself just staring at Ava. John would make jokes, but they could tell he was highly jealous. They finish their song and Ava takes the beer that John was offering Sherlock. She takes a drink of it before passing it to Sherlock as the two stood together.

Molly, the ME girl walks in while Sherlock sits down and looks at John's blog. Ava hugs Sherlock from behind and Molly stares shocked at Ava and Sherlock.

"Everything alright dear?" Mrs. Hudson asks.

"I didn't realize that..." Molly says and Ava and Sherlock look over at Molly. Ava was currently hugging Sherlock with her left hand revealing the ring that Sherlock and John picked out so that men would see that Sherlock and Ava really were married. They'd made it official after all by doing the actual ceremony.

"Problem?" Ava asks.

"She's got a boyfriend, she planned to give him a gift." Sherlock says.

"I don't... I um..." Molly says as Sherlock looks at the package, "I hadn't heard about you two being um, engaged."

"Ah, sorry, but not engaged." Ava says.

"What?" Molly asks.

"Married." Sherlock says, "Sorry."

"No, it's fine. I, um, didn't know." Molly says. Sherlock's phone goes off and Ava narrows her eyes at him. Irene wouldn't stop. She kept texting him even after Ava had yelled at her to stop.

"Ava, a word." Sherlock says and Ava blinks confused as the two head out of the room after Sherlock grabs something from the mantelpiece.

"What does the damn woman want now?" Ava asks as they enter their bedroom.

"I don't know." Sherlock says and opens the box that he found. In the box, he found the phone that was supposed to be Irene's protection. Another text comes in that says only two words, 'I've lost.' Sherlock shows Ava as she sits on his lap facing him.

"Isn't that her phone?" Ava asks.

"Yes." Sherlock says.

"Why in the bloody hell would she give it to you?" Ava asks, "And what has she lost?"

"I have a feeling she was pretty obsessed with me. It's been a few days since we got officially married, so she is giving up her defeat because you've won me." Sherlock says, "It's password protected."

"What do you think the password is?" Ava asks.

"Good question." Sherlock says. Sherlock calls Mycroft to warn him that Irene could possibly be dead.

"You okay?" John asks.

"Yes." Sherlock says, "We are coming back out to the party in a moment."

"Right." John says and shuts the door.

"I wanted her to leave you alone. I didn't mean die." Ava says.

"And she's left a mystery for us to uncover in order to get those pictures." Sherlock says.

"Don't push me away when you think this time." Ava says.

"Oh, never." Sherlock says as he kisses her gently. She blushes as she puts her arms around him. He stands up while he holds her as he kisses her before sitting her on the bed and sitting over her as he kisses her.
