*outside school*
Molly: *waiting*
Sherlock: *approaches; annoyed* There you are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!
Molly: *shocked* Sherlock! What are you doing here?
Sherlock: *frowns* Why aren’t you in the lab?
Molly: *swallows* I- w-well, John had to work so I offered to pick Rosie up. We’re going for pizza after school.
Rosamund: *runs up to Molly* Aunt Molly! Are you ready? My friend and her Daddy are waiting! *points*
Sherlock: *looks over*
Rosie’s Friend & Her Dad: *waving, the former enthusiastically, the latter awkwardly*
Sherlock: *raises an eyebrow* Regular occurrence, is it?
Molly: *blushes* Not really. Just...now and again. Sometimes.
Sherlock: *bitter* Nice, is he?
Molly: *awkward* I-I don’t-
Rosamund: *tugging her coat* Aunt Molly!
Molly: *smiles* Alright, Rosie. Let's go. I’ll see you later, Sherlock.
Rosamund: *quickly* Do you like pizza, Uncle Sherlock?
Sherlock: *smiles* Do you know something, Rosie? I could really go for some pizza right now *lifts her up; walks over to her friend*
Molly: ...
Molly: *follows*
Friend’s Dad: *feigning politeness* So, um, who’s your new...friend, Rosie?
Rosamund: *hugging Sherlock* Oh, he’s my Uncle Sherlock and he’s my bestest friend in the world!
Friends Dad: *glances at Molly* Uncle...?
Molly: *blushes harder* It’s not like that *gestures between them* we're her godparents.
Rosamund: *waves a hand* Never mind them *cups her mouth; whispers loudly* they’re in love but they don’t know it.
Sherlock: ...
Molly: ...
Friends Dad: ...
Friends Dad: Right.

Sherlock & Molly: *squished together*
Rosamund: *sleeping on her godparents*
Molly: *mutters* You don’t like pizza.
Sherlock: Hate it.
Molly: *rolls her eyes* Then why did you come?
Sherlock: ...
Sherlock: *quietly* You know why.
Molly: *swallows* He's just someone I know.
Sherlock: Mmm.

Sherlock: *smiles* So am I.
Rosamund: *smiles*
