Chapter 14

Mommy dearest

Lily stomped upstairs and slammed the door shut. This should have been the first sign that something was wrong but Sherlock was not paying attention, too engrossed in his latest experiment. Luckily John was and he followed the angry teen up the stairs to find the girl face down on the bed, her head buried in a pillow. "What's wrong?" He asked gently as he sat next to her prone form. Wordlessly she handed him a piece of paper from her pocket then laid there as John read it.

"Where did you get this?" He asked gripping the paper tightly. "It was in my locker at school." Her response was muffled by the pillow. "Alright…I'm going to bring this to your father….Don't worry you and your brother aren't going anywhere!"

"it's a piece of paper…" Sherlock said looking at John curiously. "Lily found this in her locker at school…you need to read it Sherlock."

Dear lily,

Coming to realize how much I miss you and your brother I am reconcedering my action to give you to Mr. Holmes for such a small price. After all you are both priceless and I am your mother after all. I raised you two and as your mother I have custodial rights and demand to be able to see you and Lucern. Plese make sure that Mycroft is there as well. Be a dear and pass the news onto him would you? I'll be by tomorrow around noon to come and fetch you and your brother

Love Mommy

"She wants money." Sherlock said trying very hard to stay detached. "Obviously." John scoffed then grumbled as Sherlock picked up his phone. "Mycroft…No Its not about that…Lily came home with a letter. She found it in her locker at school and it's from her mother…Yes her mother…No idea who told her but she said that she will be here tomorrow around noon to 'come fetch Lily and Lucern'…Yes I know she got his name wrong. Anyways she asked for your presence specifically. Yes I am aware that she's only after more money…Good we'll see you tomorrow then…Of course I'll be on my best behavior!" Sherlock responded as he hung up the phone. "Now where is Lucian?"

"He joined the art club…I don't want him there for her!" Lily announced from the bottom of the stairs. "Lily She does have custody rights…and unfortunately Lucian does have to be there as well but don't worry we won't let anything happen to either of you." Sherlock said gently making her frown. "But she doesn't want to see him…she only wants to use him as leverage to gain more money." Lily announced making her father sigh.

Sherlock walked forward and wrapped his fingers around her wrist to pull her onto the couch and into his embrace. "I know love…but John and I will be there to protect you two. We won't leave her alone with you unless you ask it of us, I promise." He murmured into her hair.

The next day Sherlock called the twins out of school (Which the teachers were thankful for) and when Noon finally came everyone was tense. He and John had sat down with Lucian an hour before hand to tell him what was going on for they all agreed that it would be best to keep him in the dark until Mycroft arrived. "Where is she?" Lily growled wanting it to be over and done with as soon as humanly possible. "She's probably on her way over right now." John remarked and even though he exuded a calm exterior Sherlock could see his nerve reflected in his tightened grip on his tea cup. Finally there came a knock on the door making everyone jump.

Lavonia Kingsdale was short with long blond hair that needed to be re bleached and caked on make up to cover the leathery appearance of her skin as well as the yellow tinge brought on by years of drug abuse. "Lily Lucian! How I've missed you two!" Her voice rasped and cracked from years of smoking and when she lifted a hand to reveal her blood shot eyes Sherlock could plainly see the track marks lining her forearm, some of them very fresh.

"You really refuse to greet me? Your own mother? I'm hurt!" She gave a fake sob when the twins refused to budge and as she walked towards then Lily and her brother tensed. Lucian tensed from nerves while Lily was getting battle ready. "A dog might give birth but that doesn't make it a mother." Lily announced making Lavonia grit her yellow stained teeth at her. "Now listen here young lady, I am your mother and I will be treated with respect. And I'm DAMN sure that you will grow out of this attitude of yours." Lavonia may have smiled but her eyes promised retribution for her comment. "How are you Lucian my dear? Have you made any… friends yet?" She smiled as she shifted her target to her son, grinning when he visibly paled and started to shake.

"What do you want Lavonia?" Sherlock growled as he placed a hand on his sons shoulder. "Why Sherly…What makes you think I want anything? I am their mother after all and I do have the right to see that their well taken care of." Lavonia smiled as she withdrew a single cigarette from her purse to light it, making John glare when she blew the smoke towards her 'precious children'.

"HEY!" she screeched when Johns hand whipped out to snatch the cigarette from her mouth. "We don't smoke in here." He said evenly as he put the cancer stick out in her tea cup. "Fine…but I wish to be able to talk to my children…alone." She glared as her heel started to click on the floor.

"Withdrawal starting already Lavonia? What are you on now? I see you've been shooting cocaine and heroin but you must have taken a lot of cocaine for the bugs to be hitting you now… that's why you're so jumpy right now. Now what kind of father would I be if I left my children alone with a known drug addict?" Sherlock remarked making her grit her teeth. "Don't act as if your any better SHERLY after all you forget. The last time I saw you, you were passed out in the back of an alley too drugged out to even remove the needle from your arm!" She snarled then grunted as Lily slammed her open palm against her cheek.

"You don't talk about my father like that you whore. He might have done stuff like that in the past but at least he beat it…I'll talk to you alone…" Lily whispered the last part knowing that her mother wouldn't let the matter rest until she got what she wanted. "Not without me Lily-lie…" Lucian grasped her hand and after a second Lily nodded her head.

"Did they really just kick us out of the living room?" Sherlock asked suddenly finding himself his john and his brother in the kitchen. "Those children of yours talk people around in circles Sherlock; pretty sure they either got that from you or Mycroft…" John remarked as he kept one eye on the living room. "I don't know what she's saying to them but Lucian is pale and shaking…" John trailed off making his lover frown. "Lily…I've seen that look on many people's faces but Sherlock…those people were heading to war."

"You know I can tear either of you two out of here at a moment's notice right? I mean you are my children…and Lucian…Bill has missed you guys something terrible. And there is so much you will have to make up for… especially since the last time you weren't exactly…nice to him." Lavonia grinned as Lucian started to visibly shake and looked as though he was about to vomit. "If you two don't cooperate I'll have to rip you out of here so fast that your heads will spin. And the first thing I'll do is give you to him Lucian…gift wrapped…"

At this Lily saw red and lunged towards her mother, knocking her over to pin her against the floor and each pause was accentuated by Lily slamming her mother's head against the floor. "YOU *SLAM* WILL *SLAM* NOT *SLAM* HARM *SLAM* MY *SLAM* BROTHER *SLAM* AGAIN!" she screamed.

It took all three men to pull the enraged girl off of her mother. "If you ever come near him again I WILL KILL YOU!" She screamed as John managed to drag her into the kitchen with her brother. "Damn it I just want you and your brother back!" Lavonia screamed up at her daughter, trying to salvage what Lily might have wrecked. "You may be violent but you're sill my daughter!"

After getting Lily calmed down Sherlock walked back over to his former lover. "Listen to me very carefully Lavonia…I know her and she would NEVER attack someone without reason and I KNOW you threatened Lucian in some way for it was Lily who attacked…Now WHAT DID YOU SAY?" He roared finally letting some of his control slip.

Before she could open her mouth to spew more venom John simply stood, drawing everyone's attention immediately. "Before you say anything else… Lily, Lucian, we're going to your room… don't worry it will be a cold day in hell before any of us lets this evil bitch harpy get her claws into you again." John gave a cold smile at the woman before leading the twins up the stairs. He had seen a look passed between the twins and after living with them for a while he could tell when something was 'a bit not good' between the two of them.

As they walked up stairs Lily was reminded of the school incident when John had to her that in order to help they needed to speak. "Lucian…we should tell him…" Lily whispered making Lucian pale and wrap himself up in his arms. "Luce…they can't help if they don't know."

"B-But what if…they hate me…for what happened? I can't…I can't…" he babbled and started to gasp until Lily took his hand.

"Lily, Lucian we can't help you if you don't tell us what she threatened you with." John spoke softly after sitting down on Lucian's bed.

"As we grew up she started taking harder drugs…it started as pot and booze…then coke and pcp…then she started on crack and ecstasy and heroin…she got in deep with her dealer…bill. Last year he came to the apartment with an offer…" Lily spoke then close her eyes as Lucian ran out of the room to vomit. "Bill wasn't only a dealer but…a pimp…he made an offer to our mother…He'll wipe her slate clean…for us…B-But he wanted a t-taste first…And she agreed…He pulled us into the bedroom and…you see he likes children…mainly boys…he-he tried to…." She gasped and pulled herself together as John tried to grab her hands. "He was on top of Lucian…and I had a knife…He was going to hurt my brother…I couldn't let…I-I-I HAD TO…" Lily cried as John wrapped his arms around her as she gasped for breather and clung to him as if only he could save her from drowning in her memories.

John walked down stairs to find Mycroft and Sherlock faced off with a seething Lavonia. "Sherlock…You need to go up stairs…the twins need you." Was all he said as he walked forward to slap the children's mother. "John!" Mycroft exclaimed.

"Hello Lavonia I don't believe we've met, my name is John and I'll give you some free advice. You don't want to come here again. You see Lily and Sherlock might beat the living shit out of you but I'll just fucking kill you. You see I have killed for Sherlock and I won't give a second thought to shooting you if you ever come near those children again. And I wonder how long you'll last when the Holmes's find out exactly what Bill has tried to do to those children…with your permission. If I were you I'd run as fast as I can…" John's voice was even and quiet as he threatened the woman who paled and fainted.

"John…" Sherlock whispered as he finally came face to face with his friends soldier side. "Sherlock…you may need to sit down…I don't think Lily and Lucian can handle telling the story again..."

Sherlock's roar of fury rang throughout 221b making the twins flinch and clasp hands. "Children!" Sherlock shouted as he burst through their door only to be met with wide eyes. Their fear quickly turned to astonishment as Sherlock wrapped them in his arms. "That evil bitch harpy is going to jail for a long time." Mycroft said from the doorway having followed his dear brother up the stairs. "Already called Lestrade…" John said as he joined his lover in embracing the twins.

Its okay its over!*pats you on the shoulder* its alright I sware I just had to get the mother out of the way! But she is going to jail (Or at least Mycroft's version of it anyways)

and I know you're all going 'how could Sherlock?' well you have to remember he hooked up with the evil harpy bitch 15 years ago and well...people change over time and sometimes not for the better. But at least you got to see a wicked BAMF John! (seriously I think he would kill her if she came back... he has to protect the children doesn't he?)

I'm Sorry!

Please read and review and tell me what the squirrel is up too now (If its building a catapult you're screwed!)
