A/N: Grab the tissues. There will be no Sherlock or John in the next couple of chapters. BUT! There will be some nice romance. I think Jim and Juliet need some right now. :] It will also stay in Juliet's P.O.V now. :]

JULIET'S P.O.V: DOVER: DOCKS: 2 HOURS LATER:

A new beginning. That's what we needed and that's what we were going to get. Looking over to my left, I saw Jim cradling Ellie. Softly talking to her. I smiled at the sight, Jim is going to be best father. In the distance, the sound of the ferry was overpowering. We had an hour before we left for France and Sherlock was nowhere to be seen. I had texted him but due to the circumstances, I wasn't entirely sure if he would come. Turning to Jim, I sighed,

"I don't think he's coming." I said sadly. Jim shook his head and gave me a soft smile,

"He will Jules. He loves you too much not to say goodbye." Nodding, I remained, waiting. Another ten minutes passed by when I heard the sound of a motorbike. Looking up from my newspaper, I saw Sherlock riding towards us in the distance. But next to him, however, was a second item of transport. John and Mary had come too. Sherlock dismounted from the bike and started to run towards us. I smiled as he arrived before the car we were stood next to. John abandoned his car, took Mary's hand and started to catch up with Sherlock,

"I wasn't too sure if you'd come." I said directly to the consulting detective. Sherlock gave me a small smile and looked deeply into my eyes,

"I'm not going to let Mycroft ruin you again." He then turned towards Jim. "Do you mind if I hold her?" I also turned and pried the baby out of his hands. It's fair to say he was a protective father. I then handed Ellie over to Sherlock. He smiled as I did. "God. She looks like you Jules. However, she has her fathers eyes. She's beautiful." Sherlock then handed her back to Jim as I went over to John and Mary. Mary soon engulfed me into a hug,

"Oh, I'm going to miss you. I really am." She stared over my shoulder at Jim. "You best take care of her, Mr Moriarty. Otherwise, we'll kill you." Jim chuckled and nodded along. Mary then released me from the hug and John took his turn,

"Be careful. That's all I ask." Nodding at the sincerity in his tone, I released myself from the hug and moved over to Sherlock. He stood with such sternness. But I guess that was Sherlock all over.

"I'm sorry I brought you into this Sherlock." I said softly. Sherlock grabbed hold of both of hands and smiled,

"Oh, never be sorry. You're the one who's made my life interesting for the past six years. Well, you and your husband. You'll be safe now. Mycroft will no longer be on your tail. He can ask all the questions but I will never give the answer. Go and have a brilliant life Juliet. Don't waste what you have." Planting a kiss on his cheek, I smiled and moved close to his ear,

"Thank you Sherlock. Thank you." I then moved closer to Jim. He had put Ellie into the car during the time I had been talking. I took a hold of Jim's hand and he pulled me close. We both made our way to the car but a voice stopped us,

"Wait." Jim and I turned to see Sherlock stood close. He brought his hand out in front of him and moved it wards Jim. "Until next time?" Jim smiled towards me then up at Sherlock,

"Until next time." He said in-kind. The men shook hands and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I could say this was progress. Jim started to make his way into the car, as did I. Turning back to look at the three stood before us, I smiled widely,

"Goodbye." We then climbed into the car and ascended onto the ferry. Leaving our old life behind and starting a-new.

THE FERRY: 30 MINUITES INTO JOURNEY:

About 30 minutes into our travels, Ellie had fallen asleep. We'd been sat in the restaurant for most of it. Ellie in one seat, sleeping peacefully in her car-seat. Jim in the other, opposite me,

"You have no idea how much I love you. If it wasn't for the crowd of people and a sleeping infant, I'd have you right here, right now." Jim said huskily. Laughing and slightly blushing to myself, I reached out for his hand,

"And I honestly would let you. However, let's wait until we reach France." Jim looked at peace. Just like he had done before all of this started. I must have been staring into space for some time as Jim brought me back down to planet Earth. "Hmm?" I asked.

"You seemed miles away darling."

"I'm was just thinking, that's all." I replied sleepily. Jim started to gently rub his thumb against my hand, soothing me deeper and deeper,

"What about?" He asked curiously, his Cheshire Cat grin still in place. I, myself started to grin mischievously,

"Our first date..." Jim chuckled to himself,

"That was fun. My god, that was fun." Looking over to Ellie, I smiled softly. This was how it was meant to be. The Moriarty's together, not separated away from each other. Both Jim and I knew the dangers of the world. All of those out to get us and all of those willing to save us. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I started to read through my texts and messages. There were quite a few:

To Juliet Moriarty-From Mary Watson: Call me when you get to France, it's urgent. Xx

To Juliet Moriarty-From John Watson: Are you safe Juliet? X

To Juliet Moriarty-From Sherlock Holmes: Get to safety Juliet. Protect yourself and Jim. Keep Ellie safe. SH

What was going on? Why had all three of them sent me texts like these? Crossing my eyebrows, I scrolled down and continued to read the last few messages:

To Juliet Moriarty-From Mycroft Holmes: Get back to the UK. I repeat you are not safe. You are no t safe. MH

To Juliet Moriarty-From UNKNOWN: Don't think you can hide, I'm always watching you. The Holmes' aren't there to save you now. PW

I turned white, my breath hitched. Jim saw my expression and raced around to the side of my chair,

"Jules? Jules? What's the matter?" He asked cautiously. I handed him the phone and reached for Ellie. Taking her out of her car-seat and cradling her in my arms. Jim began to read the texts, becoming redder and redder each one he read. He then looked up, placed the phone onto the table and placed both of his hands at each side of my head. "I will protect you. I will protect you both." Tears had started to fall,

"What do we do Jim? Whoever PW is, is out to get us." Jim wiped some of the tears away from my face,

"We do what we do best. We survive."

A/N: OOOH?! What will happen when the Moriarty's get to France? Who's PW? Will Sherlock come to help? Find out next time... ;]
