"Well, I'm going to the supermarket. Sherlock, do you need something?" John grabs his bag.
"Mmm no." Sherlock picks up the newspaper and starts reading it. John sighs and goes downstairs.
The throbbing pain of the lower abdomen returns again.
"It hurts! Bring me medication." I scream, and Sherlock sighs.
"Mrs. Hudson!" he exclaims, and then Mrs. Hudson comes with Rosie by her side. "Can you bring Ibuprofen?"
"Okay, but to be clear, I am not your ..."
"Housekeeper," Sherlock cuts her off. Mrs. Hudson brings me a pill and a glass of water, and I thank her.
"Get well, my dear. Now I have to take Rosie to the park, I have promised her." Mrs. Hudson and Rosie say goodbye to us and leave.
"I'm going to the kitchen for something to eat." I get up from the couch and head to the kitchen, but Sherlock stares at me. I turn to see my dress stained with blood. To top it off, it's a dress.
"To the bathroom, quick" He gets up, grabs my arm and leads me to the bathroom. I'm so ashamed. I do not believe what is happening. "Now I'm going to bring you clean clothes for you to put on, but you will continue to sit there until John comes in with the compresses. Don't worry, I'm not going to see how you change." He says as I sit on the toilet. "Nothing happens, it's completely normal." He comes out of the bathroom and comes in a new dress and panties.
"Thanks," I say embarrassingly. He goes out and closes the bathroom door. I quickly change, sitting on the toilet. I don't want to stain anything.
"May I come in?" Sherlock asks from outside, then opens the door and walks in, and picks up the dirty laundry. I feel a lot of anguish.
I hear someone enter the room. It must be John.
"John" says Sherlock, quickly leaving the bathroom.
"What happened?" I hear John say.
"Her period has come. It's been a long time coming, John," I hear Sherlock say.
"What? Well, I've also bought her a book so that she understands menstruation. Has she stained everything?" I hear John and Sherlock approach the bathroom, and enter. "Aurora, fear not. I know we are not girls, but ..."
"John, I've already told her before. There's nothing to fear. Come on, give her the compress," says Sherlock, while John gives me a pack of compresses. I look at it in detail and open it. Inside are many compresses wrapped in plastic, and I open one. I have no idea how this goes.
"I'm going to teach you," says Sherlock. John laughs out loud.
"Sherlock Holmes putting a compress, that headline would give to speak." Sherlock looks at him badly. "How do you know how to do that? Who taught you?" John is surprised, like me.
"Enough talk. This is easy, you don't have to be a genius to know how to put on a compress," says Sherlock, believing himself smart. Well, he is.
"Somewhere you must have learned it ..."
"NO." Sherlock gets up.
"Well, whatever you say. Aurora, we're going to leave you alone for a moment. I think you need it." Does John read my mind? I really do need it. I don't know how this ended like this.
"Thanks." John smiles at me and the two of them leave the bathroom. I put on my underwear and get up. I leave the bathroom and go to Sherlock's room and lie on the bed, exhausted. I don't know why, but I start crying.
