"That man he does my head in, honestly Sherlock is just so selfish!"

Dr Watson finally finished his hour long rant in front of Molly. The pathologist did the only thing she could, laugh.

"Oh John, you must come in here every week, sometimes daily, just to moan and rant about Sherlock yet you still live with him, you still solve cases with him but you don't make things change."

The doctor sat there listening to what Miss Hooper had just said and Molly knew she had finally got across to him, so she decided to ask what had happened this time but she wasn't at all surprised when she found about the trip to see his parents.

"John, we all know what happened last time he visited them, maybe he still needs time. Even the great Sherlock Holmes requires a break here and there. For all we know last Christmas might have scared him in some way, we need to help and support him not shout at him. He does have feelings even if he doesn't show them."

John took in everything that Molly had told him and started realising Sherlock hadn't been the same since almost being sent on a suicide mission. He seemed more on edge and a little, just a little bitty remember, grateful for the things he had and he spent more time listening to Mrs Hudson's rambling.

Molly had also noticed a change in Sherlock, he was slightly more patient with her but he knew he had Mycroft watch her most of the time. She also saw the way Sherlock looked frightened when doors banged or bells rang unexpectedly. She hadn't mentioned them to anyone but before she knew it, she had told John everything. At this new information John suddenly found himself thinking as a doctor. He knew that he would need to get Sherlock to open up but he knew how hard that would be given the fact that Sherlock didn't talk about his personal life to anyone.

When John left Molly he decided to make a call.

"Lestrade." A Male voice answered.

"Hey, Greg, its John, I need something from you." John replied casually.

"What would that be?"

"Oh, not much, just all of Sherlock's criminal history."
