Earlier I wrote about Sherlock deducing that Joe has a girlfriend and some people wanted o meet her, so here she is!

"Hey Joe, how come you never tell me anything about your family?" Alice asked as they wandered through the shops in town.

"There isn't anything to tell." He replied quickly. It wasn't that Joe was ashamed on his family, no way, they were just a bit full on. The last thing he wanted to do was scare Alice off with his insane siblings and his father prattling off her life story, she didn't even know he was the same Holmes as the famous detective yet.

"Where do you go to school anyway?" She asked, "You've never said...actually now that I think about it, there is a lot about you I don't know."

"I'm home schooled." He replied honestly, "My father teaches me and sometimes my mother or uncle."

"Cool, I'd love to meet them some time, after all you've met my parents." She beamed.

"Ummm, I guess we could go to my mothers house." He gave in weakly realizing too late his mistake.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize your parents were separated." She whispered sadly, oh great now he'd have to explain that kettle of fish.

"Actually, they were never together, I'm adopted." He admitted, "It's kinda complicated but he is my dad and she is my mum, they are just not, together. I live with my dad and my uncle."

"Oh, come on let's go meet them!" She smiled, "I really do want to."

Nervously he lead Alice back to Baker street, He wasn't sure what to do. Did he take her into 222 and risk his siblings going crazy like they do every day, or did he go into 221b and hope that John was the only one in. The decision was taken from him when Sherlock stepped out of 222 and saw him, with Alice.

"Ah Joe, Clara was experimenting with rats and they have gotten loose in 222. It's not a big problem we just have to wait until they all get caught in the traps we set out. Shouldn't take more than a few hours." He drawled, "I believe this is you, girlfriend, am I right?"

Oh God...

"Clara?" Alice asked.

"My sister." He replied, "One of them..."

"You have siblings?" She smiled, she had no idea. Please let them be out, please let them be out...

"Thirteen of them actually." Sherlock answered for him, "They are inside with John."

"My uncle." He provided.

"Wait a second. Your dad is Sherlock Holmes?" She gaped, "THE Sherlock Holmes! And Your Uncle is John Watson? The blogger?"

"Well, kinda yeah." He shifted uncomfortably, "Maybe we should hang here another day?"

"No, lets go meet them!" Alice insisted practically dragging Joe into the house. Sherlock smirked.

"Please be good dad." He hissed.

His hope sort of died when he opened the door to find most of his siblings gathering around a severed hand in the kitchen discussing which way is best to experiment with it.

"Joe!" Halie smiled, "Help me make my point, we don't get hands very often, we should use it to study the flanges!"

"No, we should be testing acid of skin action." Dan argued, "We've only used skin grafts before, never anything with actually muscle behind it!"

"What on earth?" Alice almost choked at the sight of the hand on the table.

"I told you we should of come over another day." He moaned.

"Who's this Joe?" Ricky asked slyly, he knew full well that little sneak.

"It's Joe's girlfriend!" Natty grinned, "I told you before! I followed 'em."

"You stalked me?" Alice squeaked, John sent Joe a pitying glance from his arm chair, he'd lost many a girlfriend this way.

"I didn't stalk I tailed." Natty corrected, "And not just you, Joe too. Oh did you know that your sister is sleeping with her english tutor?"

"Natty!" Joe scolded.

"Since when do you care?" She narrowed her eyes at her brother, "You've known for months!"

"You did?" Alice snapped.

"Well, I deduced it when I first met her but I didn't want to cause trouble..." John trailed off, was there any point?

"Back to the point at hand," Dan interrupted, "Dad rarely gives us a whole hand to wrk with so are we dissecting or acid burning people?"

An uncomfortable silence settled over the room, at least it was uncomfortable for Joe. He really liked Alice too and his abnormal family had just gone and ruined it.

"I think you should do acid."

Joe's eyes snapped to Alice's face in shock.

"After all, practicing with skin grafts is all very well but it doesn't give you a realistic idea of what would happen should the acid fall onto a proper body." She continued, "Also, you should start with the stronger acids on the thickest part of the hand, I'd go with the palm."

"Good idea." Halie praised, "Here, you go first, this is an acid my brothers made once, it burnt right through dad's coat!"

"No way!" Alice laughed, "Did you guys get in trouble?"

"Nah, we found him a replacement." Mikey smiled, "You're alright Alice."

Joe just looked on with awe as Alice helped experiment with the hand, shooting him a smile every now and then. John came up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Joe, never let her go."
