Emotional Context

His Last Vow-part 2

ELIZABETH'S POV

A few days had passed since the incident at Magnussen's office. Sherlock was still in the hospital so I decided to take Grayson and go sit with him for a couple of hours. A few people had stopped by to visit—not all welcome visitors, but that was handled.

"Hi.."

I looked over to see Sherlock waking up. "Well, good morning. Or should I say good afternoon. How are you feeling?"

"As good as I can be. How long have you been here for?"

"A couple of hours. Lestrade and Molly stopped by. So did Janine. She figured out the truth. Came here and yelled at you, of course you were still asleep, though. Then she yelled at me for going along with this whole thing. Some comments were made and she left."

"You know how much I hated doing that..especially being away from you and Grayson."

"I know, but we did what we had to."

Sherlock attempted to sit up and reached for the baby.

"What are you doing? You know you're not going to be able to hold him."

He rolled his eyes. "Do I ever listen?"

I stood up and laid Grayson in Sherlock's arms. As soon as he looked up at his dad he began to smile.

"He's going to be a smart one, I can tell. Probably gets it from me."

I gasped and hit Sherlock's arm lightly. "Are you saying that I'm not smart?"

He gave me a grin and shook his head. "Of course not, you're the most intelligent woman I know. I'm just saying that he's going to be the next consulting detective."

"Oh, yes, I can already tell. He looks just like you. I swear he'll be your clone."

"Our daughter will take after you, Elizabeth, don't worry."

"You're really set on having another baby one day, aren't you?"

He smiled at me and looked down at Grayson. "Elizabeth, you need to tell me what you were doing at Magnussen's."

"Magnussen had his men come after me. Mary I thought was watching the baby while I ran out to the store. They grabbed me, shoved me in a car and brought me to his office not long before you and John arrived. Soon Mary came, I knew she was surprised to see me there. She said she couldn't risk me saying what I saw, apologised and hit me upside the head with her gun. Gladly I moved so the hit wasn't hard enough to knock me out, but I acted as if it did. It was my cover so I could find out what was actually going on."

"He went to you to get information on me.."

"And he and Mary must have some connection, which explains why she wanted to kill him."

"We have to get Mary to say what she did. I have a plan." He went quiet for a moment. "But John will find out."

"I'll do whatever it takes to get her to say it. I don't want my brother to be lead on by her or be put through her stupid little games."

The two of us went quiet for a minute until I looked over at him with a smirk.

"Do you remember when you snuck me out of the hospital when I had amnesia?"
