“What do you need?”

Last week due to technical problems with the power, I was not able to fulfill this promt. Yet I decided to wait until today to use it as the official closing of the six sentences Saturday, or six sentences Sunday on Saturday ... he he..

P.S. In the future I will continue to receive one sentence prompts, but I will not keep calling them six sentences nothing since I can never really finish a story in six sentences.

@writingwife-83 i hope you enjoy this

We need to talk

Something has been off about Molly Hooper, if Sherlock didn't know better, he would think she seems almost… depressed... As if something had drained all energy from her, she is constantly exhausted, she has been losing her appetite, and her always cheerful disposition and sweet sunshine demeanor has been displaced by a taciturn fazade. She has slowly withdrawn herself from Baker street, little by little  and on the now rare occasions that she spends the night, her sleep is uneasy. She gets up several times a night and wanders aimlessly around the flat, or lock herself in the washroom. Sherlock has wanted to go to her in those moments, and make sure that she is okay, but in his first two forays, Molly has made a big deal about she waking him up and has ended up on the verge of tears, so now whenever she gets, Sherlock prefers to pretend to be asleep.

Sherlock, being Sherlock, has too been through different stages, for the last weeks from sincere although moderate concern, to fear and uneasy, to absolute and total panic, especially since he was available to conclude that, after three years, nine months and twenty-eight days of romantic relationship he could not longer make Molly Hooper happy. Sherlock is afraid of losing the love of his life, so on one London many rainy days in witch he finds himself confined to his flat, he decides to share those fears with his friend and colleague Doctor John Watson.

"You know mate?" says Doctor Watson while lifting a cup of tea, Mrs. Hudson has just arranged for him from the tray. "There are countless causes for depression ... it doesn't necessarily have to do with you ..."

"Even so ... if she is going through something ... and  don’t know what it is, if I am not able to help her, or at least deduce what is wrong ... Am I not failing her as romantic partner?" the detective says staring into blank space with his hands clasped under his chin …

"Well" said Dr. Watson, trying very discreetly to askance at the wall clock, only to decide that it was still too early for whiskey altho it seems his friend could use a drink right now ... "ok, this is crazy and a little radical even," said the man, conspiratorially throwing his torso forward and patting his friend's knee twice, “but haven't you thought about talking to her?"

"I'm afraid," the detective mumbling almost inaudibly after a very brief but deep pause.

"Sorry what?" replies the doctor without explaining if he has not heard correctly or just cannot believe what he is hearing ...

"I'm afraid, John" repeats the detective, frustrated, looking directly into his friend's eyes for the first time that day.

Sherlock is no one to oftenly cry, as John has known, but he can see the emotion washing all over his face, even without a tear being shed. "I'm afraid of what answer I'm going to get," the detective says again before concentrating his gaze once more on the void.

Well, mate" Dr. Watson reiterates, compassionately, while gently squeezing his friend's shoulder, in a gesture of deep empathy. "It can't be worse than uncertainty." Their gazes meet again and Watson can clearly see fear and the pain, but also a glimmer of hope behind those clear blue eyes and it's  then like an epiphany, that Docto Watson makes his very own deduction “Sherlock...” the former army doctor says thoughtfully, “what if, wasn't depression, but something else?"

"Like what?" ask blandly the consulting detective

"Maybe she's pregnant," says John hesitantly.

“For God's sake, John” the detective will respond heatedly and clearly offended “I, corrct and successfully deduced your wife's pregnancy, from three random comments she made on your wedding day, I think I would have realized right away if the woman I am having sex with, is curently preagnead, dont you think?”

"So you two are still having sex..." Doctor Watson asks… states, completely disarming his detective friend whose face almost automatically have turn in all shades of red know by menkind

"Well...  it's complicated... she... it seems like ... she has been wanting to... but then she ... a-and then I ..." the detective begins to stumble, when his gentle stutters are interrupted by a text alert, which he immediately reads aloud after retrieving the phone from his dressing gown pocket  in the most obvious attempt of deflect subjects.

«We need to talk, can you come over?»

Sherlock Holmes’s world seems to sink as he realizes the message is from Molly. John gets it… after all, when was the last time anything good came out from a woman saying We need to talk?

Sadly, Doctor John Watson, will not see the end of this episode, another hour will pass and he will need to pick up Rosy from school, while Sherlock keeps buffering his girlfriend's text message. It will not be until hours later, when the former army doctor is preparing his daughter for bed, that the great detective will gain show signs of life a text message, which will read

«John, guess what? We're having a baby S.H »

Dr. Watson can't help but smile at the good news and has started typing his congratulations to the happy couple, when a mischievous feeling assails him, and instead he will send the following text to his friend

«I’m not saying you were wrong, but one of us was right and it wasn’t you...»

# 7- Sherlolly

Roll your eyes if you must. Say I'm blind if you want. Say I'm a coward if you will for not shipping Johnlock. I don't care.

I like this dynamic. I think they are cute together.

Can I see the Johnlock? Yes. I see what the shippers see.

I also see this and this... this I like more. This I ship.
