Sherlock Cases: The Pixie cut Princess

Chapter 7: summer trips

They say quietly in the private jet, Mike read quietly while Mycroft texted and Lynne stared out the window "How's your cheek?" Mycroft spoke up breaking their silence "still sore" Lynne replied blankly "I could've hit him" Mike added "yes and I was about to but you wouldn't let me" Mycroft sighed "my brother would've beaten your guys' ass, from what I remember he's much stronger high" Lynne sighed keeping her gaze out the window at the light clouds "I don't care he slapped you then threatened you" Mycroft sighed "I had a gun" she huffed finally looking over to him "yeah why do you have your gun?" Mycroft asked "I found it" Lynne shrugged "I had it buried away in your old room" Mycroft stated "yeah and did you really think I wouldn't dig around in the room?" Lynne smiled sweetly "Carolynne tell me next time please" Mycroft sighed "Mum your phones ringing" Mike stated "what's the caller ID?" Lynne asked looking at him "It says Sherly" Mike replied "Xbox ? Is that my brothers contact?" Mycroft questioned "Mike answer it and see what he wants" Lynne avoided Mycrofts statement "you're in mine as Mycie(ICE)..." Lynne muttered, Mycroft watched her carefully touched at her statement "it's been like that since you had your heart attack... I realized what would happen if we didn't have eachother in our contacts because I wouldn't have known... I could've lost you..." Lynne added "Mum! Dad! Uncle John wants to know if we want to go the beach with them tomorrow!" Mike shouted from across the room as he peered in through the door "no!" Mycroft quickly answered "don't tell him no Mikey! It's yes!" Lynne quickly snapped "okay!" Mike giggled and ran back into the small room "I am not going to the beach tomorrow" Mycroft stated rudely "you are now" Lynne smiled back at him "no" he growled quietly "Myc listen to me... Yes. You. Are" Lynne stated sternly as Mike walked in "no I don't do... Beaches" Mycroft said as I the word beach was forbidden "you're not going to win this dad just suck it up and go with us tomorrow" Mike sighed flopping back into his seat as Mycroft shot him a dirty look then sighed "fine... But I won't swim" he agreed "bring a nice book and you can read in the shade" Lynne smiled

It was the next day and they met up at the beach with John Sherlock and Declan "I see you convinced him to come Lynne, I thought he would stay behind and have another heart attack" Sherlock grinned "yeah well it wasn't going to happen" Lynne sighed "well we should set up" John smiled "yeah let me help you" Lynne smiled "do you need our help?" Mycroft asked "no just make sure Sherlock doesn't drown" Lynne smiled "not worried about Mike?" John asked "really John? I feel the kids are more mature than Sherlock and I'm scared he'll drown..." Lynne stated raising her eyebrows "yeah fair point" John sighed and continued to help set up the umbrella and blanket and finished within a few minutes "alright Mycie you can come sit and read" Lynne smiled kissing his cheek as he walked past her to sit down, Lynne sat down next to him on the blanket keeping her dress on to cover her bathing suit "it's quite nice out today isn't it" Lynne said smiling softly "mmh yes" Mycroft mumbled as he read quietly "we should come out here more often maybe just you and I sometimes..." She tried to continue conversation "what ever makes you happy dear" he replied blankly "ah screw this I'm going to go swim" Lynne huffed as she pulled off her dress to show a black bikini with red straps, Mycroft looked up at her completely mesmerized "oh now you'll pay attention" she chuckled and picked up a towel and wrapped it around herself and walked closer to the water, once near John she put the towel down and walked to the cold water and slowly eased her self In until it reached her waist when Sherlock ran and pushed her over playfully, once Lynne stood back up quickly she glared at Sherlock and tackled him pulling him under with her "Hey wait up!" John shouted as he ran to the with Mike on his shoulders and Declan trailing along, Sherlock popped back up with Lynne on his shoulders until he pushed her off letting her fall back into the waters "you idiot!" She giggled as she stood up and turned to walk to shore "is that an umbrella tattoo?!" Sherlock exclaimed, Lynne panicked and looked above her waist on her lower right back to see an umbrella tattoo "oh my god!" Sherlock laughed hysterically "Mycroft!" Declan shouted "Daddy!" Mike shouted along until he reluctantly walked to the shore book in hand "Lynnes got a tattoo! Have you seen it?" Sherlock manage to say between the fits of laughter and the attempts of breathing "what are they going on about?" Mycroft questioned Lynne rudely "Aunty Lynne has an umbrella tattoo" Declan laughed "dear lord Carolynne!" Mycroft said as if he were disgusted "OI! I don't even remember getting it!" Lynne snapped, Mycroft glared at them than stormed back to his spot to read "I'm going to kill you guys" Lynne growled "you're the one with the tattoo" Sherlock smiled wiping away the tears "I don't remember getting it" Lynne huffed "it doesn't matter you have a bloody tattoo!" Sherlock laughed before he was dragged under water by Lynne "jeez... Mum doesn't like this" Mike states "dad can we build a sand castle?" Declan asked looking up at John "yeah we should let Lynne do her thing" John nodded and lifted Mike from his shoulders and to a part were he can properly reach and they walked to the shore and started to build, after a few minutes of wrestling Lynne walked out of the water grabbing the towel before storming off to Mycroft, she sat down next him the towel wrapped around her tightly to cover the tattoo "that was embarrassing" she huffed pulling her knees to her chest "yes it was" Mycroft nodded still wrapped in his book "I'll get it laser we'd off or maybe even covered up" she sighed " I think... I don't... I don't mind it" Mycroft muttered and Lynne chuckled softly "oh Mycie" "I truly don't" Mycroft sighed "I'm not judging you" she giggled and kissed his cheek before pulling the book from his hands swiftly as laying her head on his lap "what book is this?" Lynne asked moving his book mark to his page and closing the book "it's nothing" he sighed "is this?... It is!.. This is the book I wrote on politics" she giggled "yes it is now give it here" Mycroft sighed snatching the book from her hands "I didn't think you like it... I didn't even tel you I had a book..." She stated somewhat confused "well it's called research" Mycroft sighed "yeah yeah" Lynne giggled and pulled the back away from him and set it to the side "I could use a nap" she smiled looking up at him "then rest" Mycroft gave her a fake smile "only if you lay down with me" she smiled and he rolled his eyes and nodded making her get up and adjust her position so he could lay next to her

"Uncle Sherlock why did you find my mums tattoo funny?"Mike asked looking up at him "because one of his greatest admirations besides your mother is his umbrella, he will bring it everywhere" Sherlock smiled and Mike nodded slightly unsure "I'm surprised he didn't bring it with him here" John shrugged "Lynne probably stopped him" Sherlock chuckled as he  piled up some sand for the sand castle  "we need a bucket for this" Declan huffed "I saw a small shop down the street on the harbour we can check it out and see if we can get one there" John nodded "I'll grab my wallet and maybe see if Lynne or Mycroft would like to join and buy one" Sherlock sighed as he stood up and headed towards the blanket, he walked to it and grabbed his wallet before truly paying attention to Lynne and Mycroft as he stopped and turned to them before grabbing his phone and snapping a pic of them sleeping soundly side-by-side with Mycroft having his arms around her as she faced him and nuzzled her face in his neck, Sherlock turned and walked back to John and the boys to tell them "Lynne and Mycroft won't be joining anytime soon" he chuckled "why not?" John asked, Sherlock opened his mouth but stopped "they're just havin them time" he smiled lying "oh well you go buy that bucket now" John smiled back and watched Sherlock turn ad walk up to the harbour
