Sherlock Cases: The Pixie cut Princess

Chapter 5: re-learning

Lynne say quietly in Mycrofts office going through files "why are you in my office?" Mycroft asked "I am reading" she replied slowly looking up at him "well stop and leave this is my office" he stated sternly "why have you left Mike unattended?" She asked "oh he's fine" Mycroft said "he's your child it's best if we don't leave him unattended" she sighed motioning for him to leave, Mycroft sighed and stormed off knowin she wouldn't get out, he walked back into the living room where Mike watched tv "stubborn?" He asked "yeah, how'd you deal with her for 7years?" Mycroft sighed "I guess you'd want to know since you want to spend the rest of your life with her" Mike said holding up a small purple velvet box "give that here" Mycroft snapped as he grabbed the box from Mike "geez" Mike mumbled rolling his eyes "your mothers right" Mycroft huffed "and that is?.." Mike asked titling his head back "you should never be left unattended" Mycroft sighed and Mike chuckled "Mycroft Holmes!" Lynne shouted from the office "what is her problem" Mycroft huffed and looked over at Mike who grinned "ooooh you're in trouble" Mike chimed and Mycroft sighed and walked to the office "yes love?" He plastered on a smile as he stood at the door way seeing Lynne lean against the desk with a file in hand "what's this?" She asked, Mycroft looked closer at the file and walked to her "my medical records... Wait why do you have these?" He asked trying to grab the folder "I decided to find out what I missed thinking he took care of himself to find out nope a second damn heart attack" se sighed "I'm sorry I should've told you" Mycroft apologized quickly "you should've" she said looking through the files, Mycroft turne. Quickly to the doorway hoping to escaped when he saw Mike with the small box in hand and he tossed to Mycroft and mouthed 'do it' before running back down the hallway "you're right I should've told you, and yes this job will probably kill me so if I die... I want to die knowing you're mine" Mycroft said before opening up the box to her, Lynne looked up at him and covered her mouth before wrapping her arms around him joyfully "yes!" She giggled pulling him closely "yay! I've got a daddy!" Mike smiled as he ran in and hugged them "Mikey were you eavesdropping?" She asked "yes!" Mike smiled proudly "who wants to stay with uncle Sherlock and meet your cousin Declan" Lynne smiled and Mike giggled happily and nodded "alright I'll call my driver and you call Sherlock" Mycroft smiled and Lynne nodded and patted his back and walked off to call Sherlock while Mycroft called his driver and Mike went packed some clothes

"I don't really know why he's here" Sherlock said quietly to John as the sat in the kitchen while Declan and Mike sat in the living room "because Lynne said she needed a night with Mycroft" John replied quietly as he took a sip of tea "why?" Sherlock groaned "7 years without each other I can see why they'd want a night just them" John smiled softly

"Uncle Mycrofts?" Declan asked looking at Mike "yeah, it's obvious that you're Uncle Sherlock's" Mike said "yes indeed" Declan nodded "who's your mother? Or is your father gay too" he asked and Mike thought for a minute "mother" Mike nodded "ah I see" Declan smiled "Declan! Mike!" John smile and they averted their attention to him "yes Uncle John?" Mike smiled "are you guys hungry?" Sherlock asked blankly "no sir"  Mike shook his head and so did Declan "Uncle John how are you doing?" Mike asked walking to him "I'm fine why?" John asked kneeling down to be at eye level with him "mum hit you really hard" Mike said empathetically "not worried about me?"  Sherlock asked and Mike turned to him raising his eyebrows "should I be?" He asked, and Sherlock flailed his arms like a child "Mike go play with Declan" John smiled

Lynne and Mycroft sat quietly in bed, Lynne kept the blankets close to cover herself "so who do we want to invite?" Mycroft asked "your family an some friends" Lynne smiled "your family?" He asked "I haven't spoken to them in years idont think they know if I pretended to die" she sighed, Mycroft leaned over to the side table and grabbed his phone and handed it to her "call her now" he said "are you crazy?" She said "call her now" he repeated and she groaned and threw her head back and grabbed the phone and called her
Lynne, her mother
Hello?
Mum...
Who's this?
It's me... Carolynne
No truly who is this?
It's me mum it's truly me!
Alright then tell me something only my daughter would know
I am dating Mycroft Holmes still and I broke Wills nose and I bounce between a Canadian and Welsh accent
Why haven't you called me in 7years! Or is your life in London much more important!
Can I-
Don't you sass me young lady!
Mum
Nu-uh you aren't going to give me that attitude!
Mum! Let me explain! Please...
Then explain
For the past seven years... I had no memory... I couldn't remember a damn thing until I re-met Sherlock John and Mycroft and everything started coming back to me... After seven years...
So you had no memory...
That's why I didn't call you... Because I couldn't remember you!
Oh hunny! I'm sorry! What have I missed?
You have a grandson
What's his name and how old is he?
His name is Mike and he's 7
Oh! are you guys in Canada?
No London I came so Mycroft could prove that Mike was his
I see... Is there a wedding?
Yes mum I'm engaged to Mycroft and you're invited, but can I call you tomorrow?
Yes of course please call!

Lynne sighed and gave the phone back to Mycroft "happy?" She asked "yes" he smiled and put the back on the side table "your parents must hate me..." Lynne mumbled "why?" Mycroft asked "I leave for six years then come back only to fake die and lose my memory for the next 7 only to come back again" she sighed and looked over at him "yeah well let me do the talking" Mycroft replied patting her hand "Myc... You know I don't remember everything..." Lynne said quietly and Mycroft frowned at her remark "I don't remember how we actually started dating I only remember bits and pieces of our relationship... I don't remember where I got some of these scars..." She added looking at the scars on her wrists from Moriarty "I don't remember much of what I did the first time around... I only remember what I geuss stuck with me..." She frowned "we started truly dating after you had a horrible dinner with Sherlock and his then wife don't ask and you left and I invited you over" Mycroft said quietly and Lynne looked up at him then back down "it's late we should head to sleep" Mycroft smiled softly looking up at her, Lynne looked up and smiled and tucked herself in while Mycroft turned out the light and curled up next to her, Lynne giggled and pulled the blankets over their heads "Carolynne you can be such a child" Mycroft sighed with a smile "I know" she smiled and pulled him close
