Chapter Eleven
Why did mother insist on this? Sherlock thought as he sat in the big house that his parents owned. John sat next to him, the blogger apparently feeling rather out of sorts in the massive building.
"Sherlock, if your parents can afford a house this big-" John started.
"And my brother." Sherlock added
"And your brother, why do you live in a flat and need a flat mate?" John asked.
"Mother and Father prefer it if we pay our own way through life." Sherlock said. "And I do not need any support from my family. It's bad enough when the drag me to Christmas dinners."
"Right, and now they've dragged you into having a birthday party." John said.
"Yes, a most… unappealing prospect. There will probably be food. And Mycroft, mother seems to be under the illusion that it must involve family."
"Sherlock, I trust you are not giving John a bad view of Mummy." Mycroft said, entering the room, umbrella in hand.
"Of course not, Mycroft." Sherlock said, rising.
"You will enjoy yourself today. You do remember how much you upset Mummy last time we had a birthday party." Mycroft commented.
"I didn't upset her, you ate all the cake!" Sherlock protested.
"I had a slice, Sherlock." Mycroft commented. "While you ate nothing and then decided to experiment with the cheese."
"Cheese involves bacteria. I was simply creating a new… breed of cheese and seeing how it affected everyone. It was you breaking your diet that upset mother."
"Boys, can we stop arguing?" John asked, moving to stand between the two, arms out to stop them if they wanted to escalate into violence, although that never seemed to happen.
"Are they not behaving?" Came a female voice, and John turned to see a woman who had to be Mrs Holmes.
"It was nothing, Mummy, I was just seeing how Mycroft's diet is going. He's not very good at keeping it." Sherlock commented, referring to his mother as Mummy now.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, mummy. You are looking radiant as ever. This is John, Sherlock's doctor and Flatmate." Mycroft said, introducing John.
"Ah, yes. I enjoy your blog. It allows me to see what Sherlock is getting up to, although I must admit that I do worry so much about him. Caught up with all that violence, it's a good thing he has you as a doctor."
"It's nothing, Mrs Holmes." John replied.
"Sherlock, I'm so glad you've got yourself a good friend. Are you sure there is no one else you wish to invite?" Mrs Holmes asked.
"Can I uninvited Mycroft, or even better, myself?" Sherlock asked.
"Sherlock." His mother said, a hint of strictness coming into her voice, and John was surprised to see Sherlock leaving the topic.
"What do you have planned for today, mummy?" Mycroft asked, moving the subject away from an awkward silence.
"Well, we're going to have a three course meal, and then a rest where we can give our presents to Sherlock. And after that, Sherlock can pick a game for everyone to play." Mrs Holmes said.
"I won't eat anything. And the presents will be pointless. I already know what John's going to give me, Mycroft gave me his customary… present on my birthday and I have a good idea what you and father will give me." Sherlock muttered.
"Please, for once, try and enjoy yourself." Mycroft commented, giving Sherlock a cold stare.
Sherlock looked over to his brother and John thought he saw something pass over the detective's gaze and the blogger became worried. What did Sherlock have planned?
