"How exactly does my child fall out of a tree?" Sherlock seethed, his mate tried to calm him down. The two were standing in the A&E's Patient Waiting room.

"It's not the security details fault. You know the twins they are rambunctious. And it's just a broken arm. Quite frankly I'm surprised it's taken this long for one of them to break a bone."

"What the hell was he thinking?" Sherlock snapped, he was about to question a pale Sherrinford but Hamish and Amelia stood in his way.

"Uncle really is it necessary to make such a scene. Yes, my cousin fell from the tree but he was climbing it to get something for me. I am not into leg work and I asked if Siggy would retrieve the robin's nest for me. Unfortunately he fell. I take full responsibility being the eldest."

Ford flinched waiting for father's full wrath but Father only ran a hand through his hair. Why couldn't they be more like their cousin. Father wouldn't be so exasperated with them. Dad was still trying to calm the tall dark haired Alpha.

"It's alright kid. He's just blowing off steam." The young med student from the park patted Ford's shoulder.

"Johnny?" A woman's voice broke the tense air, John and the young blond from the park both looked over. A dark haired woman was hurrying over to the stranger talking to Ford.

"Oh, god. When I got your message I thought you were hurt. Can you maybe be more clear next time!" The dark haired Omega embraced her son. "You had us terrorfyed!"

"Sorry mum." He looked embarrassed and Hamish knew the feeling, his mother was the same way.

"Oh, I should be thanking you." John made his way over to the blond young man. "Thanks for helping. It was fortunate you were there."

"I didn't do much." Johnny replied to the familiar looking Omega that was shaking his hand.

"Misters Holmes." The Doctor entered into the waiting area

"Please John. And my husband Sherlock." John turned to the surgeon.

"John, Sherlock. He's out of surgery. He is awake just a little out of it. But you can go in and see him." John and Sherlock followed the Doctor.

"The three children followed." Hamish glanced back at the dark haired woman who was watching his uncles with a shocked expression, out of curiosity the brown haired boy decided to hang back.

"Oi! You two!" A blond woman neared, "Parking here is horrid. Absolutely horrid. If Johnny's alright we should go. Or do we have some moral obligation holding us here?" the blond woman speaking made Hamish frown, she had the same blond hair as uncle John, except she was an Alpha.

"Hamish!" Molly and Mycroft were hurrying towards their son. "Is everything alright?" Hamish didnt have a chance to put more thought into it, already his mothers hands were pulling him into a tight embrace. He didnt attempt to pull away knowing it was best to just ride it out.

"Cousin only fell out of a tree. It was my fault for asking him to retrieve a nest for me."

"Oh, don't say that. Accidents happen." Molly cupped her sons chin.

"And this aspiring Doctor helped us." Hamish watched his father's face closely. Mother was smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, thank you! That was so kind-" Mycroft was cutting his pregnant wife off, placing a firm arm around her. Hamish could sense the cool in the air as his father and the blond Alpha were glaring at each other.

"Molly I think it's best if you discuss the diagnosis with the surgeon and doctor, I fear I have less tact than you."

"Yes." She threw a glance back at the blond woman and the woman's bondmate. She would ask later, "I'll be right back. Hamish-"

"I'll stay with father." The young boy took a stance near his father, Mycroft considered his son giving him a hard nod.

"Father." Hamish tried. "This young man's name is Johnny. He helped Siggy and called the ambulance. He has shown nothing but civility and care."

Mycroft inspected the young man his son was describing, and it was startling how much the Med student resembled John.

"Harriet. It is a surprise to see you. This is your son?" Mycroft's voice held an icy edge.

"Yes." She snapped, her eyes dark with challenge.

"I see your manners have yet to change. I would of course compensate you and your family for your time. An amount I'm certain you would agree with. Then you can crawl back under whatever floorboards-"

"We don't need your money. What a coincidence for my son to do yours a favor. Cant keep track of your own family?" Hamish was about to tell the stupid woman off, as was his father when cousin Amelia and Ford approached.

"Uncle Mycroft sir." Ford sounded defeated, "Father is with Siggy if you wish to see him. My brother isnt making much sense so we are going to sit out here." Mycroft turned his back on the blond woman, a show of disrespect, one she didn't take notice of. Instead her face had gone pale and she stared at the young boy as if she'd seen a ghost.

He looked so much like her brother, her younger brother, the one she hadn't seen in almost twelve years.

"Mother?" Johnny placed a hand on the blond woman's shoulder. She looked from the children to the tall Alpha.

"Get out of here Harry before they return. If you upset him-" Mycroft ordered, causing Hamish and his niece and nephew to flinch. Harry ignored him she approached the little blond boy, Mycroft growled in warning, halting her movements.

"I said to go." He snarled. "Or I'll have you thrown out."

"They're John's? He's here?" She tried to collect her thoughts.

"Go." Mycroft took a threatening step forward.

"Mother." Her son placed a hand on his mother's arm. "We should leave-"

"I'm saying you are too hard on them. They are just boys. Boys tend to-" Mycroft frowned, John and Sherlock were arguing now in the corridor starting in their direction.

"Amelia, Siggy we are leaving, go say goodbye to your brother." John ordered and both his children still aware of the situation were quick to escape.

Sherlock read something in his children's nervous glances back at their uncle.

"Uncle John." Hamish turned quickly, throwing a quick glance at his uncle, "Mother is here speaking to the surgeon. She feels responsible, perhaps you should speak to her." Mycroft almost grinned in approval his son was expressing his need to protect family, that and the boy had the trademarked Holmes ability to manipulate situations.

"She is? Oh, dear. Molly does take these things to heart. I better-"

"Yes John go." Sherlock flashed a quick smile, standing with his back to the young med student, John wasn't close enough to understand the situation the two Alpha's were trying to avoid.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Sherlock growled.

"She is just leaving." Mycroft stated sternly.

Harry was trying to peek around them to see her brother, she could see his back disappearing down the corridor with the younger boy. Hamish, that was John's middle name.

Harry could guess now, her brother had bonded with the dark haired man, Sherlock, it was an odd name.

"You have boys?"

"It's none of your business you forfeited all claim to John when you released him of family obligation. I wont have you upsetting my family." Sherlock spat.

"Wait mom? The twins and dark haired little girl are family?"Johnny stood back shocked by the situation.

"No." Sherlock spat. "They are my children and-"

"Twins? You've had twins? And a daughter?" Harry ignored both Alphas, needing answers to her questions.

This was her family, she felt a pulling towards them, and these Alphas wouldn't get in her way. She would know them, her brother had a family. She thought of him often enough, but it had been her idea to set him free so he wouldn't be reminded and neither would she, no reminders of their 's the decision she'd made, but now it felt like the wrong one.

"Sherlock?" John was holding Amelia in his arms, her curly hair on his shoulder, arms around her Dad's neck.

Hamish winced, as did the other two Holmes'. "Who are you-" John paled, stepping around his mate. His eyes widened, his daughter's arms tightened.

"John-" Sherlock began. "They were just leaving."

"Harry?" he started towards her confused. "Why are you-"

"Ugh Doctor Watson, this is my mother Harriette and my mum Clara Watson." The med student replied answering the man's question.

"I had no idea John-I" Harriette started towards her brother, the two Alphas at his side took a step forward to stop here. "This is your daughter." Harry paused knowing just how Alphas could be around their mates, or family especially children. "she's beautiful. She has your eyes."

"Her name's Amelia." John smiled easily ignoring the cold temperatures and non verbal challenges coating the air. "Amelia say hello to your aunt Harry."

"That's a boys name." The young girl replied glaring at the strange woman that Father clearly didn't trust. Uncle Mycroft wasn't happy either, Amelia wouldn't allow herself to be closer to the stranger. She reached for her Father who took her up easily.

"She's nervous around new people." John explained. "This is my son Sherrinford."

"John? Sherrinford? Poor kid. I hope he knows how to fight. With that name he'll be a target for sure."

"I do. And people call me Ford." Ford smiled easily taking the woman's hand, he was quickly slipping past her obviously in awe of his older cousin.

"We are cousins?" Ford smiled, "You're not so tall."

"You're not so short." The blond stranger replied. Hamish was quickly at his cousin's side. Not liking the idea that there would be competition for attention, he'd always been the oldest cousin.

"You're going to be a doctor? Not a scientist?" Ford asked eagerly.

"I'm crap at chemistry." Johnny replied. He smiled seeing his cousin give a relieved grin.

"Me too." He looked over his shoulder at his Uncle and Father they were standing back scowling, but Dad was hugging the Alpha Harry.

"I've never had cousins." Johnny admitted crouching down to Ford and Hamish's level.

"Hamish I believe, Ford, it's a pleasure to meet you both." Hamish couldn't help but smile, this man reminded him of Siggy and Siggy was hard to dislike.

Harriett held on to her brother, " I left because I thought you'd want a fresh start. I wanted one too. I thought it would be best. I mean you should be angry at me."

"I'm not. I never was." John embraced his older sister once more. She was still sober and to his surprise had a family.

"This is my wife Clara and you've met our son Johnny."

"Ah, and he's going to be a Doctor, well you've done a fine job Harry." John grinned embracing his nephew. "It's good to meet you Johnny."

"Likewise." the Omega replied uncomfortably.

"Don't worry cousin, we aren't all huggers." Hamish leaned over and whispered.
