My greatest weakness
A Sherlock Holmes Imagine…
*Y/N POV*
Your eyes opened slowly when the morning sunlight entered your bedroom. A groan left your mouth, when your hand went to touch the empty space next to you. Great. He surely didn’t come home last night. You thought as your feet met the cold floor. A light feeling of sickness hit you when suddenly you ran to the bathroom in a rush - just like several other mornings lately. Just as you finished throwing up, you thought about the possibility of caring a micro scoping human in your stomach. A thought you quickly wanted to go away. You didn’t have time for a baby, and Sherlock sure wasn’t going to be happy about the responsibility. Actually you thought that Sherlock would be angry or out of his mind, if the two of you were going to be parents. Heck, his cases are his babies. A frown had formed on your face, when you realized that you were still sitting on the floor of the bathroom. You had to know that the chance of caring a baby wasn’t there.
Small quick steps could be heard on the almost empty street. The stores had only just opened, but you couldn’t wait for an answer. You had to know now. When you reached the store, you made sure to get at least 3 pregnancy tests, just to be entirely sure. The cashier had a strange look on her face, when she saw the tests, but you couldn’t care less at the moment. You paid and headed home.
Mrs. Hudson was at the door by the time you reached 221B Bakerstreet. “Oh hello dear”, she said in her sweet voice. You loved Mrs. Hudson - always so caring and curious. But you didn’t feel like talking. “Hello Mrs. Hudson - I really don’t have time for a talk right now. I’m sorry”, you said trying not to sound worried or sad though it was hard. Your hand touched the door to your apartment ever slightly, not wanting Sherlock to be home right now. Luckily he was still out, so you quickly ran to the bathroom, took the first test and waited for the result. Positive. Crap. You moved on to the next test and waited. Positive. No, god, no. You took the last one and hoped to the finish that it was negative. It felt like centuries went by as you waited for the final result. Positive… Shit. That was the only thought as you stared at the test result. Just as your thinking about how to say it to Sherlock, your ears caught the sound of the door smacking. It was that way Sherlock would’ve shot door, when something was up. “Y/N! Where are you?” you heard Sherlock shout. You froze. Right there on the bathroom floor. “Y/N? Are you okay? Mrs. Hudson was worried about you”. You could tell he was looking for you. You breathed in and rose to your feet. Your hand dried the one tear that was falling down your cheek, before you unlocked the door and went into the living room. And there he stood. Your lovely boyfriend, who might not be perfect, but he was yours - at least still for some time. “Oh there you are darling. You should’ve been with me to this absolutely wonderful case. It was fantastic. There was this body in the middle of nowhere and…”. You cut him off. “Sherlock…”. He stopped with a questioned look, not used to be cut off by you. “I - I really have to tell you something…”. “It’s obvious that you are nervous, so it must be something significant”, he said with his deductive face expression. A light nod came from your silent frame. You breathed in before the words left your slightly pink lips: “I’m pregnant”. It felt like forever before Sherlock responded with panic in his voice. “And you are sure it belongs to me? Right of course it does… Oh wauw, I feel so strange… I’m not used this… I’ve always been able to keep myself distant. Divorce myself from my feelings. But lately my body has been betraying me, Y/N. First John… Then I met you. I can’t be weak, I can’t feel weak, but my love to you… And now this”. He sat with his head in his hands. You didn’t exactly know what to answer, but you wanted to try anyway. “Sherlock… I’m sorry. I really am. But it is our responsibility now…”, you tried. The room went silent for a couple of minutes. “You know what darling… You are right. If we can make a human being, then we can take care of it together!”, he said as he went for a drink. As he grabbed the glass his hand shook. “Oh look…. I’m afraid”, he held the glass high before taking a sip. You smiled as his insecurity, which is a side you had never seen before. You walked towards him and gave him the biggest hug. “I’m here Sherlock… We are doing this together - and you are going to be the perfect high functioning sociopath father who has ever existed”, you comforted as you felt him calm down in your arms. He pulled away with an insecure smile on his face as he calmly placed his hand on your belly, still shaking a bit though. He smiled and placed his head on your shoulder. “I hope so my love, because I can’t live without you. And I probably can’t live without this little human either”, he whispered in your ear. “I think I have found my greatest weakness”.
