I Will Not Bow Down
Eight: Great-Grandma Holmes I
Joan had to get all of their clothes ready for them to leave. She was a bit nervous, for some reason she had a feeling that things would change.
"Do you know; what your Great-Grandparents would want besides meeting us?" Joan asked Sherlock.
"I suppose they want to include Harry more into the family." Sherlock told her.
"What do you mean?" Joan asked.
"What have we been talking about?" Sherlock asked her. Joan looked at him, knowing they had spoken about the adoption of Harry but doing more fully.
"We couldn't do that in private?" Joan asked.
"No, I need you to understand before we make the decision and we might get more information."
Joan had to wonder, how powerful and what line the Holmes came from, that Sherlock knew they were powerful enough to know things about Harry and them.

The family left but not without giving Mrs. Hudson her Christmas present knowing that they wouldn't be able to be there with her as she was going with her sister.
"Where we going, Papa?" Harry asked Sherlock.
"We will be visiting our family, as annoying as they are." Sherlock answered. Joan had to smile about that.
"In which you have to behave, Harry." She told him.
"I doubt Great-Grandmother will mind if he doesn't." Sherlock told her.
"How is she?" Joan asked.
"Different." Sherlock told her. Joan tried not to sigh; Sherlock had been telling her that all the time.

When they arrived to the Holmes Estate, Joan was shocked to see the large Castle because that is what it was. She also saw that most of the house had Dragons as it statues around the place. She felt her magic pulsate and she shook it off, since there was a lot of magic around and didn't seem to be in hiding.
"I should say Welcome to Holmes Manor but I think you get the idea." Sherlock told her as he opened the door.
"Well, Harry will have a lot of room to play in." Joan told him.
"If they let his feet touch the ground." Sherlock told her.
"We can't spoil him, Sherlock." Joan told him.
"It's not spoiling is giving him, what he didn't have." Sherlock told her, Joan sighed knowing she was not going to win. The three of them walked toward the entrance when it was opened by an older man.
"Master Holmes is good to have you home once more is this, the new Mistress Holmes?"
"Caleb is good to see you again." Sherlock replied and Joan noticed the warmth in his voice similar to the one he used with Mrs. Hudson. "Joan this is my Great-Grandmother's helper."
"He means I'm his Great-Grandparents Nanny do not let her title fool you Dr. Holmes." Caleb told Joan welcoming her warmly. She was getting ever more curious about Sherlock's family. "This must be your son?"
"We don't have any other, Caleb." Sherlock told him.
"Hello." Harry said before hiding himself behind Sherlock's coat.
"Hello, Young Master Harry, your Great Grandparents have been talking about you non-stop." Caleb said warmly. "Now I know you are aware where your room is situated, Harry has your old room, it was decorated already."
"Yes, I know." Sherlock told him. "I know they don't want to meet us until the entire family is here, do call us when that happens." Sherlock said and carried Harry with him.
"It was really nice to meet you." Joan said.
"Don't worry Dr. Holmes I'll be seeing you." Caleb told her with a smile.
#
"Harry will more likely stay with us tonight, so don't put his bag on the room." Sherlock told Joan as they walked inside.
"I know." Joan told him, she knew Harry still had problems sleeping sometimes. Harry was down on the ground and going to Sherlock's bookshelf.
"Be careful." Sherlock told him and went to pull out a plant book so he could begin teaching him about different plant life.
"Okay, Papa." Harry said.
#
"Caleb, my young brother is here."
"If you mean Sherlock and his family, Master Mycroft, yes he is, your parents have arrived as well, and your younger sibling is missing."
"You have another sibling?" Lestrade asked.
"He doesn't exist Gregory, but you and Joan will be meeting them today." Mycroft told him.
#
"Are you sure this will be fine?" he asked.
"James, if I didn't want you to meet my family I wouldn't let you."
"Q, I understand that." James said, he was still getting used to the fact that he had been dating his Quartermaster and he was able to see, how different he was.
"I will also ignore that you are bringing a gun to my Great-Grandparents home." Q told him and James winced. "I mean, they have enough weapons on their own, even Sherlock and Mycroft have their weapons."

Sherlock, Joan and Harry went downstairs and knew that almost everyone was already there.
"Harry, dear you look healthy." Mummy Holmes said and Harry ran over to her.
"Gammy Holmes!" Harry said and was hugged. Harry began to talk a mile a minute to Mummy about the plants he had read and been read.
"We won't be seeing him, for a while." Joan said.
"You have him all the time" Mummy Holmes said.
"I know Mummy, you look great." Joan said.
"Thank-you dear, I'm waiting for my son to greet me." Mummy said and Sherlock hugged his Mummy. "Quinn is here with his boyfriend; your Father is talking with him."
"Huh, Quinn is your other brother." Joan said. They all walked together to the living room and Joan looked up to see him.
"James!" she said. James looked up and saw her and he moved.
"Joan." He said and hugged her spinning her.
"Your alive." She told him, they kissed each other in the cheek. Sherlock glared their way and Harry was not looking happy either.
"So are you." James told her with a smile.
"You two know each other?" Joan turned to look at the man and he looked a lot like Sherlock.
"Yes, you must be Sherlock's younger brother, is James causing you trouble now?" Joan asked with a smile.
"Yes, my name is Quinn your Joan, how do you handle Sherlock is interesting and to be married to him." Quinn said with a smile.
"You didn't answer, Joan." Sherlock said.
"We've met each other in one of my missions." Joan told Sherlock and showed him.
"The only girl, I couldn't charm." James said with a smile. Quinn rolled his eyes at that.
"Yeah, he tried to charm me while bleeding out." Joan said with a roll of her eyes and she carried Harry and Sherlock got glued to her side.
"We are still missing our Great-Grandparents." Mycroft told them. Joan didn't bat an eye at seeing Lestrade there since it was sure that he and Mycroft had gotten closer since Sherlock came home.
"The Master and Mistress tell me that they will come down shortly." Caleb told them. The other part of the Holmes family began to talk and move around even Sherlock was talking with Quinn.
"So marriage and a son?" James told Joan as they were sitting next to each other.
"Yeah." Joan said with a smile.
"It looks good on you." James told her and Harry turned to the man since he seemed to be close to his Mother. He didn't want the man to steal his Momma from Papa.
"Thanks." Joan said with a smile. "So MI6, I'm not dumb James."
"Yes, it's where I met Quinn." James told her.
"Harry, this is my friend James and probably you're next Uncle." Joan said.
"My name James too." Harry told James.
"Is that right." James told him. "But it's not your whole name, Harry."
"Nu-uh Harry James Holmes Watson" Harry told him.
"Is that so, and what are you interested in?" James asked. Harry looked at James before he said anything.
"Reading." Harry told him.
"Merlyn!" the scream caused the new four members of the family.
"You can find your own coat, you clotpole." Joan looked at the woman coming and she looked incredibly different, mostly because she didn't seem like a Great-Grandmother with silver hair and dressed smartly and she seemed like she should be younger. Joan felt the magic immediately.
"I've never known what that meant..." Arthur came inside and Joan saw the older man who was really healthy and Joan could see, seeing the two Great-Grandparents she could see where the Holmes got it.
