"How do you feel about your parents going to jail?"

Louis and Albert look at Sherlock is shocked as they were stunned. Jail? Their parents?

"Now normally I would say no but after what they did to William.. sure. But for what?"

Sherlock frowned at the mention of William. He couldn't help but remember how William look when he told William all of those lies. He sighed as he shook his head.

"I cannot disclose any information right now but it will be big. Many big names are going down" Albert nodded in understanding as Sherlock stood up from his chair.

"That's my time, thank you so much for telling me" Louis smile as he walked Sherlock to the bedroom's door. "It's no problem, we should be thanking you instead" Sherlock smiled as Louis as he said his goodbye to the brothers but then he paused.

"Actually" They both looked at Sherlock as the detective walked away from the door. "I wanted to know how Liam is doing"

Albert and Louis looked at each other and sighed. "He is concealing his emotions, Sherlock, just like when he was..." Louis trailed off as he didn't want to finished his sentence. "In front of us he is always looking happy, well pretending to be happy but Albert and I always caught him crying" Sherlock nodded as he sighed.

"It's all my fault, isn't it?" Albert walked over to pat Sherlock shoulder, "I won't deny that it is, however, you didn't have a choice. You had to lied to William to protect him, to protect us and I understood how hard it must have been for you... and we have been thinking"

Louis smiled as he walked to stand by Albert. "After you sort out everything and call off your wedding, we want you and brother William to leave London, temporarily, it can be a week, a month, a year, multiple years, as long as you want, you both don't even have to return to London and if you want to propose to him there then do it, we gave you our blessing that is if he agrees with you"

Sherlock looked at them with a mixture of both shock and confusion. "Why? I hurt him, I made him hate me, he doesn't even want to see me ever again—"

"And you believe that?"

"What?"

Albert took out his phone as he opened his photo gallery and showed Sherlock pictures of William throughout the days and he definitely is not looking happy.

"This just proves my point, I don't deserve him at all—"

"And other people do? What have they done to deserve him other than you, Sherlock Holmes?" Albert took a deep breath as he continued.

"Listen here, no one, I mean, no one would be brave enough to willingly give up their life and jump off after him to help him atone, no one would be patient enough to wait more than a decade for a person who you aren't even certain exist anymore. No one would want to risk their future just to save him and his family from going to jail. No one other than you, Mr Holmes. You were willing to give up your life, your years, your future just for William. So yes, you definitely deserve him, Sherlock, unless you want to get married to Miss Ashford?"

Sherlock widened his eyes as he shook his head. "Gosh, no, I waited my whole life for William and I'm planning on only getting married to him, if William doesn't exist I wouldn't get married at all"

"That's why you deserve him, Sherlock. Surely, you hurt him badly this time but if you tell him the truth behind it, I'm sure he would understand you. Honestly I think he definitely knows you were lying, William isn't naive"

Sherlock smiled, "thank you, that means a lot to me but I don't want to keep you both away from him, I could never do that. Leaving London and staying somewhere else? I wouldn't dream of taking away his happiness"

"You won't take away his happiness. For twenty years, living without you in his life, William was missing his other half. He is happy with us, yes he is but we knew deep down he doesn't feel complete but ever since you came back into his life, he shone a lot brighter, his world suddenly became a lot brighter. He is always smiling and acting all giddy, shy and giggly whenever someone mentions your name—his students word, not mine—you make him a lot happier and we don't want to take that away from him and you don't have to keep him away from us. Make sure to call, and visit once in awhile if you decided to move out"

Sherlock widened his eyes as he chuckled. "I could have sworn you guys wanted to kill me every chance you got back then"

Louis scoffed as Albert snorted, "Yes, that was before we knew your intentions towards brother was good. After you jumped after him, we were quite shock. Besides, there's no one in this world I would rather have as my..." Louis blushed as he looked away.

Albert playfully smiled as he nudged Louis. "What he and I meant to say is that, there's no one in this world we would rather have as our brother in law other than you, you and no other"

Sherlock smiled as put his hand on Albert's shoulder and ruffled Louis' hair earning a whine from him. "Thank you Lou, thank you Albert, that means a lot and I feel the same way." Albert frowned. "You gave Louis and Will a nickname, what about me?" Sherlock snorted as he raised his hands in defense. "Okay I'm sorry, Al"

"now it's time to deliver justice"
