Sherlock -

Two months later...

Things have changed since Molly passed away. 

Mycroft told me that he had a son with Anthea but they gave him up for adoption, and of course, he hid it from me. It is not surprising.

Aurora has returned to 221b and sleeps in Rosie's room (because John and Rosie have left Baker Street).

The Moriarty thing hasn't been fixed yet, and he hasn't turned up, so I'm not going to risk it.

John has never been the same, he stopped talking to me and still does. And I ... I can't feel more guilty than I feel now. 

Because of me it has cost the lives of the two women that I appreciated the most.

And the worst thing is that Molly could never be happy. Now we were going to form a relationship, I wanted it and I was willing. But so many things had happened.

Now, I have to worry about Aurora. And John, of course. I have to get him back.

...

I open the door. It's Lestrade.

"Do they need me again? I thought there was a substitute of mine." I say as I look at the phone.

"No, there is no case. But you will be back soon, right?"

"Do you miss me?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Sure. Well, Donovan and Anderson don't."

"It was to be expected. It doesn't surprise me. But why are you here?"

"It's John. I think he wants to apologize." John? Apologize?I get out of 221b and see John next to Rosie, with suitcases. 

I sigh and Rosie comes up to me, and hugs me.

"I think Aurora will be able to sleep in Rosie's room." John says, approaching.

"Thanks, John. Are you not mad at me anymore?"

"Well, I still am ... But I think I misbehaved with you, you're going through a lot." I nod and we enter 221b.
