A/N- Sorry for the delay again but college has been hectic!

Thank you to those who have liked/followed this story so far and a big thank you to JuliaJekyll for leaving another lovely review.

I don't own anything. All characters you see in this fanfiction belong to BBC Sherlock. All I own is the plot and my OCs.

Any mistakes are my own so please tell me if you see any grammar mistakes.

I love hearing from you all so please leave a review and tell me what you think of this chapter.

Chapter 4 Making time for the one you love. (Mystrade/Johnlock)

[A week later]

SHERLOCK WHAT TIME ARE YOU COMING TO DINNER TOMORROW? –MUM

6.00pm. Why are you using caps lock? –SH

BLOODY THING WON'T TURN OFF. –MUM

Did you just say bloody? –SH

YES -MUM

Wait. Have you been drinking? –SH

NO -MUM

How many glasses of wine have you had? –SH

TWO -MUM

…–SH

SEVEN -MUM

I'm coming over. –SH

BRING JOHN YOUR FATHER HAS BEEN IN THE TOLIET FOR A LONG TIME-MUM

-X-

Good morning mother. How are you? –SH

Stop shouting dear. –MUM

How can I shout over text? –SH

That font is too bold, it's hurting my eyes. –MUM

Do you want me to come over? –SH

No it's fine, I'm fine. I'm worried about your father though, he's been out for a long time. –MUM

I'll get Mycroft to help look for him. Get plenty of rest.-SH

-X-

[Two hours later]

He fell asleep on the bus. I'm bringing him home now. –SH

He also may or may not have pants on. –SH

-X-

Sorry you had to see that. –SH

It's fine I've seen all sorts. I am a doctor, Sherlock. –JW

I know but it's not pleasant to see your future father in law half naked with a hangover. –SH

[Delayed] Um Sherlock. Future father in law? –JW

[Delayed] …-SH

Come home we need to talk. –JW

-X-

Sherlock stop being so childish and come home. –JW

This is ridiculous. –JW

I agree it's ridiculous that my boyfriend doesn't want to get married to me. –SH

I never said that! I said I'm not ready to get married for a few years. –JW

How much is a few John? I don't want to have to wait forever for you. –SH

I don't know it certainly won't be forever. I do want to get married and I do know that I want to be with you. I just feel that we have a long time before we think about marriage. You already have me Sherlock. Truthfully, I could talk about you all day and night and I'd still have a million more things to say. But words become meaningless, so know that to me you are the most wonderful person I've ever met, and I can't imagine not having you in my life. So please come home. –JW

John, you know I'm not a man for feelings and sentiment but with you it's different. I feel like you're more than just my boyfriend. You're the one person I need to talk to everyday, the person I can rely on to stay with me when others have left. You're my best friend, my lover, my soul. To call you my boyfriend would hardly give you justice. I have never entertained the thought of marriage until now and I'm so glad you're the one to change my mind. I'm coming home. –SH

I love you so much. Hurry up and get back so I can kiss you. –JW

-X-

[Two days later]

I wish you didn't have to go to work today. We don't need the money so you can easily come home. –SH

I know we don't need the money but I enjoy working. –JW

I'd rather be at home with you though. –JW

Of course you would. I'm much better company than your patients and Sarah. –SH

Sherlock! She's my friend. –JW

My original statement still stands. –SH

Besides the whole Sarah thing, you're right. Being away from you can be hard sometimes. –JW

When am I not right? What time do you leave work? –SH

It's another late shift. Not until 8.00.-JW

You've worked late all week! –SH

I know. I promise I'll make it up to you. Now get that pout off your face and we'll talk later. –JW

[Delayed] I'm not pouting. –SH

-X-

Mycroft I'm sorry but I can't make it tonight.-GL

Yes you can, I checked your schedule you're not on duty tonight. –MH

Change of plans, there's been three murders in the last hour and they need as many people working on the case as possible. I'm sorry. –GL

Get Sherlock to help. –MH

He is. But I'm still not allowed to leave. I'm sorry Mycroft I know you planned everything but could we possibly do it another time? –GL

No, we have precious little time together as it is so no I'm not cancelling our date. I am coming to Scotland Yard to talk to your boss. –MH

No! Mycroft you don't have to do that. I know we don't see each other as often as we'd like but we have plenty of time to have dates. It's fine. –GL

No it is not fine. I planned everything perfectly. Instead of going out we would stay and have dinner at my house. I brought you your favourite beer and we were going to watch Hot Fuzz together because I know it's your favourite film. Then after the film I would take you home and we would stand outside your door and then I would say…-MH

You would say? –GL

I'm not going to say it in a text. –MH

Mycroft just tell me. –GL

[Delayed] I would say that… I-I love you. –MH

[Delayed] Mycroft I love you too. –GL

[Delayed] I'm not sure what to say. –MH

You don't have to say anything. But you do have to leave the beer in the fridge because I'm coming over. –GL

I thought you were busy. –MH

I am. But I'm making time for you. –GL
