'I play the violin and I'll teach you and your Uncle Mycroft plays the piano and I bet if you ask him nicely he'll teach you too.' 'I love my family!' Just then Mycroft walked in with John who was holding some clothes for us. 'Hello, you must be Dad's friend! And Uncle Mycroft! Uncle Mycroft?' 'Yes, Harry?' 'Can I have a hug?' 'Sure you can!' MYCROFT'S GIVING HUGS OUT!? 'Uncle Mycroft?' 'Yes, Harry?' 'Can I call you Uncle Myc? 'Of course!' WHAT he won't even let Mummy shorten his name! 'Uncle Myc?' 'Yes, Harry?' 'Love you' 'I love you too. Sherlock close your mouth you're becoming a goldfish!'
I shut it with an audible snap.'Harry, don't you have some news for your uncle?' 'Yes, Dad. Uncle Myc this is my Dad and I now go by James Everett Slade Holmes but just call me Everett!' 'Ok, Everett welcome to the family!'
By this point John was extremely confused and was in shock he finally came out with 'Hello Everett my name's John and I'm a good friend of your father's *he shot me a glare telling me we'd be talking later* so I'll expect we'll be seeing each other a lot!' 'You live with him don't you?' 'Wait did he tell you that?''He didn't I used my Superpower!' He whispered. I shot John a glare to say something positive about it. 'Cool! You really are suited to being a Holmes!' 'Yup!' 'Very cool!' 'Thank you, Uncle John!' He looked a bit scared of John's look of surprise so I went and sat with him. He leaned into me hiding in my jacket.
'It's alright Everett, Uncle John's not angry he's just a bit shocked. Aren't you Uncle John?'
'Yeah sorry, Everett!' He looked a bit sheepish. 'Anyway, we need to get a doctor in here so we can see when you'll be able to leave here. Your gonna have to be brave and answer their questions through ok?'
'Ok, Dad but stay with me?' 'Of course!'
The Doctor's came and asked their questions then declared us free to go as long as John kept up with the treatment and became his doctor. He readily agreed to the conditions and so they gave him the meds and then he helped them redress the wounds and disconnect him from the machines then straight away he ran at me for a HUGE hug. 'OOF little man not so fast don't want you to hurt yourself even more! Hey, what's wrong?' 'Dad it huuuurrts.' 'Hey, it'll be ok! We'll look after you it just takes a minute to stop hurting ok?' It broke my heart to see him hurt but it had to be done. I hugged him till he stopped crying. 'Thank you, Dad. It doesn't hurt any more. You have super hugs!' 'Good to know Everett! Now shall we get you changed?'I grin 'I think uncle John brought you and me some clothes to wear shall we see?' 'Yes please!'
I helped him put it on as I put on my usual suit with a white shirt and my coat. He looked amazing. He's mine I felt giddy and proud. 'Brother mine I think it's time to take this young man home. I'll give you a lift in my car so the paparazzi can't see yet.' Everett suddenly said 'Uncle John why haven't you been home while we've been in here?' He's right! Why hadn't I noticed? Mycroft cut in 'We've been working on a surprise for you three.' 'Oh that's why you look like you've been doing physical work but you work at a desk job!' Everett replied. Even Mycroft looked surprised at that and he should know not to underestimate anyone! I carefully lifted him onto my shoulders. 'Are we ready to go?' 'Yup Dad! Although I don't mind walking.' I could tell he was enjoying himself though. 'It's fine Everett your as light as a feather. In fact, if I can lift your uncle John then I can manage you ok?'
'Ok thank you, Dad!' We started out towards the exit Everett found all the hidden paparazzi and Mycroft threatened to sue anyone who says a word. Everett and I got into the car once I'd checked the driver wasn't an enemy of mine. Then Mycroft got in and off we went '221B Baker Street!' I called. 'Is that the name of our house?' 'Sure is Everett!'
We arrived...
