# Early Life

Molly Clarice Grey Hooper was born on July 3, 1383 to Thatcher Grey and Susan Hooper in Seattle.

## Childhood

Molly grew up with her younger sister, Lexie Grey. She also had a parental older half-sister, Meredith Grey that she didn’t meet until they were in their twenties.

# Mid Life

### Pregnancy

Originally a patient at Mercy West Medical Center, Molly was transferred to Seattle Grace Hospital at 32 weeks pregnant because her baby had been diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Addyson Montgomery operated to place a balloon that would open the baby's airway and allow her lungs to develop properly.

In 1406, Molly was admitted to the hospital for an emergency c-section at 36 weeks. She gave birth to a baby girl, who wasn't breathing at birth. She had to be rushed into emergency surgery. Molly was devastated and didn't want to call her fiance, Eric Thompson, because she didn't know if their baby would even live. She later named the baby Lara and was told Lara would be okay.

### Influenza

Four days after her daughter was born, Molly was unable to visit her because she had the flu.

### Laura’s Death

Shortly before Lara was 6 months old, she developed a circulatory disease. Despite the doctors best efforts, Lara passed away

Devastated, Molly and Eric became overwhelmed by grief and grew apart. Eric threw himself back into the army, and the two divorced. Molly moved to London, and adopted her mother’s maiden name in order to start over.

## Career

Molly became a specialist registrar in the morgue at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London.

Due to her work position and crush on Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock frequently exploits her to let him examine or perform experiments on victims' bodies, such as beating them with a riding crop in order to study postmortem bruising

Molly was in a relationship with an IT employee named Jim, later revealed to be Moriarty, who was using her to see Sherlock up close.

Sherlock only finds out how deeply infatuated she is with him when he acidly deduces that the Christmas present at the top of her bag is better wrapped than the others, and must be for someone she loves, and then discovers it's for him; she received a very uncharacteristic kiss on the cheek and apology for this. Sherlock also turns to her to help him fake his death. At one point, Molly points out how sad Sherlock looks when he thinks John Watson cannot see him. He states that she can see him to which she replies that she does not count. Sherlock later tells her that she does count, that she has always counted and that he has always trusted her. When she asks what he needs, he replies with "you".

While John is recovering from the hurt and shock of discovering Sherlock is still alive, Molly accompanies Sherlock on some casework. It is revealed that she was a confidante and a key element when Sherlock faked his death. Sherlock also tells her that Jim Moriarty made a mistake in believing that she did not matter to him, when he, in fact, admits to her that she was "the one person who mattered the most".

John and Mary ask Molly (along with Mrs. Hudson and a reluctant Sherlock) to be a godparent for their daughter Rosie. Molly babysits Rosie on several occasions as John and Mary assist Sherlock. When Mary is killed, Molly stays with John to look after the baby and informs Sherlock that John wants nothing to do with him.

Sherlock's deranged sister threatens to detonate a bomb in Molly's flat unless he can phone her and get her to say the words 'I love you' without revealing that she is in danger. Sherlock is forced to say "I love you" to Molly. He says it twice in desperation, and afterwards, Molly finally says it too. After this, Sherlock proceeds to break the coffin that was supposed to be hers in a very agitated state, thus showing how much he cares for his friend.
