Aurora Holmes (Sherlock's lost daughter)

Chapter 4. - Many emotions

Mycroft

Finally I get home at two in the morning. I haven't stopped thinking about Aurora for a second. I hope she is still asleep. I go down to the basement, and so it is. She sleeps like a log. I go to the room, when I hear a noise in the kitchen. I go quickly to see who it is, and it really surprises me.

"Lady Smallwood. What do you want?" She looks at me with wide eyes.

"You had given me the keys, remember?" She takes the keys out of her pocket.

"Yes, but now it's not the..." She puts her lips on mine and they start to curl up, but I stop myself.

"Not now" I whisper. She takes me to the room and sits on top of me. She takes off her clothes and also mine. I really don't know what's going on. I cannot think clearly, I only think of Aurora.

"Wow. What was that?" We stopped doing it and I say:

"Smallwood, not now. I'm tired." Still I kiss her and she gets up.

"Okay. I'll go home. But tomorrow we will have to finish this." She gets dressed while giving me a wicked look.

"Goodnight." I say, and she leaves. I quickly fall asleep; I was very tired.

Aurora

It's been a week since I moved to London. And a week since my mother died. Despite everything, I am improving. I am stable, better than the first day I arrived here. 

I decide to go to the dining room where Mycroft is and ... an old woman?

"Good morning Aurora ... how are you feeling?" Something's wrong with Mycroft.

"Mm- Well, I think so. Who is she?" I ask. She is blonde, pretty, but older. I guess she's Mycroft's new girlfriend.

"Ah, she is ..."

"Lady Smallwood, his ..." says the woman, but Mycroft cuts her off.

"Friend. She works with me." She is offended at his comment, but Mycroft says something to her ear that makes her blush.

"Who are your parents?" Lady Smallwood asks me. From the uncomfortable silence that occurs in the room you can deduce that something is wrong. I was going to reply, but Mycroft cuts me off. Always interrupting.

"Her mother died recently." He says it slowly.

"Oh. I'm really sorry, Aurora." She stands up. "Well now I have to go. Nice to meet you." We shake hands and she says goodbye to him with a kiss on the cheek, but it seems that they have some love relationship.

"You are with her?" I ask. Mycroft starts laughing.

"I guess. But it's something physical, not loving." I open my eyes and look the other way. No, no, no. Did I just imagine Mycroft having sex? Gross.

"I don't think so. Have you seen how she looks at you?" we both laugh. I like Mycroft.

"Miss Aurora, you are only ten years old to discuss this matter." Mycroft puts on his jacket and grabs the umbrella.

"I know, but I like to talk about this. It's fun." I also put on my jacket and we go outside.

"Where are we going?"

"Now you will know," answers Mycroft.

Sherlock

We have had too many emotions since I met John. Well, I've always been tough, but not so hard on him, not Mary, not Rosie. We have been through a lot. I keep thinking about my broken promise. That I should have protected all three, and Mary died saving my life. Now they could have been making a nice family, but without me. Well, it would also be sad.
