Chapter 29

Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock or anything.

Author's note: Please review! Thank you! A 'steamy' scene is in this chapter, no sex though. I have put a warning up.

The coach came to a stop outside Sherlock and John's homes. The students had grumbled when they had found out that they had to be brought off by their parents or guardians. Seriously, they weren't children! But after an eventful trip learning about the French culture they were all tired and though everyone else was awake, now they were close to their home, Sherlock and John were asleep, resting against each other.

Freya tried calling their names but the boys were completely out.

The coach doors opened and two men walked on.

"Wow! Sherlock and John look like their dads!" Abigail exclaimed.

They were right. Though Sherlock and John looked a lot like their dads, they did have a few features from their mums too.

Ron and Alan gave the students a small smile and looked around the coach for their sons.

"There they are!" Alan smiled and they moved down the coach to the sleeping boys.

"Sherlock! John!" Ron called.

John mumbled something and fell back asleep.

"Don't you wish they were four again and we could just carry them to the house?" Ron sighed.

"Speak for yourself; I could so carry John now." Alan said proudly.

"Oh, really?" Ron raised an eyebrow well naturedly. The Holmes and Watson fathers did like challenges.

"Definitely!" Alan said with his chin up.

"Prove it." Ron challenged.

Alan looked down at John and then back at Ron.

"No problem." Alan said.

All the students were stood so they could see now and were waiting to see if it was true.

Alan took John's wrists in his hands and with all his strength he pulled John up and quickly bent and caught him. He stood up straight and had John in a fireman's carry.

"Ha!" Alan said triumphantly.

John was startled awake and recognised the smell immediately.

"Dad?" he called out and saw students staring at him.

"Hi, John! How was France?" Alan called over his shoulder at where John was upside down from the waist up.

"Good, erm, dad, can you put me down please?" John asked.

"Alright... erm..." Alan was in a very small aisle with students crowding him and barely space to move.

"No." he said finally.

John groaned "Did you and Uncle Ron get into another challenge again?" he asked.

"Maybe." Alan mumbled "But I won, so really, this is worth it."

"You haven't won! I can pick Sherlock up!" Ron persisted and used the same method Alan did. Soon Sherlock was in the same position as John.

"John?" Sherlock asked as he woke.

"Yeah?" John called back.

"Dad and Uncle Alan had a challenge again, didn't they?" Sherlock asked tiredly.

"I'm afraid so." John said.

"Why do you always have challenges involving us?" Sherlock exclaimed in irritation.
