"John," Sherlock whispered over the phone, tired and exhausted. "No."
"Why not, Sherlock?! I am begging you. Just for the night," John pleaded as Sherlock sighed.
"Because, John. I don't have anywhere for her to sleep. I don't know what to feed her," Sherlock explained before glancing at the table. "I'm in the middle of an experiment."
"What kind of experiment?" John asked as Sherlock rolled his eyes.
"There is a severed head on the table," Sherlock explained as silence filled the other line. "Why do you need me to watch her for the night anyway? I thought you had work tomorrow. You can't go out with Mary!"
"Sherlock, Sherly will not stop crying, and I do have work in the morning. That's why I'm calling you. Mary thought it would be a good idea," John mentioned as Sherlock scoffed.
"John, I'm not good with children," Sherlock whispered as he exhaled.
"I know, but Sherly is always quiet around you," John added as Sherlock sighed.
"That doesn't mean I know how to take care of her," Sherlock instructed.
"Well, Mary has constructed a list and- Mary? Where are you- Mary!" John exclaimed, leaving the phone for a moment. Sherlock rolled his eyes, wondering why he even took the phone call. He never answered his calls. "Well, it looks like she's on her way to your place."
"John!" Sherlock shouted, shocked.
"There was nothing I could do. Look, she's bringing some clothes and stuff along with the list. She'll tell you what to do," John explained as Sherlock panicked.
"John, no! No! Get her- John!" Sherlock shouted to the phone before John hung up. Sherlock frowned and looked away, wondering if he could get his house ready in time.
