It's been 3 months since Mycroft met Sherlock at home. Celina felt that Mycroft had been unhappy since that day. She didn't know what happened between them but he didn't mention Sherlock much. She decided to do something to make him happy again. After finishing work at 6 pm, she quickly left the office.

Mycroft finished the job. Raising his hand to watch the clock, he saw it was 7 pm. "Celina must be home already" he thought and smiled slightly. He arranged the papers on the table and went home.

Entering the house, he smelled quite fragrant food.

"Surprised?" Celina and Mrs.Shaw - his butler - jumped out from the kitchen. Looking them, he started laughing.

"What are you doing?" he took off his jacket and asked them.

"We just tried a new dish after considering Celina's book and we need someone to experiment with" Mrs.Shaw said.

"When did you become lively like that?" Mycroft looked at Mrs.Shaw's gesture and asked. She laughed.

"Hurry up, Mycroft. We are dying of hunger" she grabbed Mycroft's hand and dragged him into the dining room.

The food was prepared on the table. They ate together happily. Finish the meal, Mrs.Shaw cleaned up the plate.

"Why don't you help her?" Celina looked at Mycroft and asked.

"What?" he turned to look at Celina and asked.

"You always help me clean up after eating, why don't you help her?"

"I ... I" Mycroft faltered.

"Maybe I'm not as beautiful as you" Mrs.Shaw sighed and said in a disappointed voice.

Mycroft looked at them, sighed and said "Ok, let me help you"

As soon as the words had left his mouth, Mrs.Shaw immediately gave him all the plates. "Thank you" she said.

Mycroft looked at the stack of plates in his hand, sighed and said "I really don't understand why I paid her to do these things and now I have to do it myself. But anyway, it also only took me less than 10 seconds to do it". He took the stack of plates and threw them into the dishwasher. They looked at him and laughed. The atmosphere was fun and cozy.

Mrs.Shaw's phone rang, she caught it. "Oh my God" she said in a panic. "I'll be there soon. Thank you" she said on the phone and hung up.

"What happens?" Mycroft approached her and asked.

"My neighbor just called and told me my daughter had a traffic accident. A car hit her" she was scared and said.

"Is she ok?" he asked.

"She is fine but the doctors were keeping watch her. God, she's pregnant" she said with concern.

"Let take leave and taking care of her. If you need anything, just tell me"

"Thank you, Mycroft. I will return to work as soon as she is fine"

"Ok. I'll tell the driver to take you home"

"Thank you. Goodbye the two" she said and left.

Celina kept her eyes on Mrs.Shaw. Her daughter's accident made Celina feel worried for her sister. "Suddenly I felt worried for Alicia. Maybe I have to go home with her too" she turned to look at Mycroft and said.

"But I told the driver to take her go"

"It's ok. I'll take a taxi" she said. "Goodbye, Mycroft" she kissed him goodbye. 

"Goodbye" he kissed her back. She also left.

Mycroft closed the door. The house returned to its inherent tranquility.

Somehow he also felt restless and uncomfortable. He was thinking of Sherlock. He hadn't seen Sherlock for quite some time. Thinking for a while, he went to the table, took the laptop and went to the bedroom.

He sat down at the desk and opened it. He logged into one of the cameras near Sherlock's apartment and controlled it to turn toward Sherlock's apartment. Looking up at his room, the room was dark. Looking at his watch, it was just about 9 pm. 

"He slept? Seems unreasonable, maybe he's going somewhere" Mycroft thought and decided to wait.

Alarm clocked 10 pm, he still didn't see Sherlock. He continued to wait. 

At 10.40 p.m, Mycroft saw a taxi stopping right in front of Sherlock's apartment and he got out of the taxi with John. "The two of them always go together as a couple" he thought and smiled. They stood in front of the apartment and were saying something. Sherlock stood opposite the camera. 

"Let's look that smirk, he must have thought of something for a case" Mycroft thought when he saw Sherlock's smirk.

------------

Sherlock was talking to John after investigating the clue of a case. Glancing around, he stopped at the camera that Mycroft was watching. Knitting the brows, he stared at the camera and thought something.

On the other side, Mycroft felt like Sherlock knew Mycroft was watching him. Mycroft didn't dare to move.

John was talking to Sherlock when he saw Sherlock was staring at something. "What are you looking at?" John asked. He turned to look in the direction Sherlock was looking at.

"Did you see that camera?" Sherlock asked John.

"Yes, so what?" John looked at the camera and asked.

"It's inherently not facing this direction" Sherlock stared at the camera and said.

"Really? I didn't notice"

After a bit of thought, Sherlock shrugged, pouting and said "Maybe I'm wrong. Let's go home". They went into the house. John enters the house first, Sherlock followed. Before Sherlock stepped inside, he turned back and looked at the camera. Raising his thumb, he pointed it to the ground and smiled.

On the other side, Mycroft laughed when he saw Sherlock's actions. "Right, he always notices every detail" he said and closed his laptop. The camera turned to look at its inherent position.

------------

A few days later.

Mycroft was eating breakfast when he hear Celina shouting her name "MYCROFT. MYCROFT"

He went quickly to the hall to see what was going on. Celina rushed over and hugged him, she looked very happy.

"What happens?" he smiled and asked.

"Oh my God, Alicia had passed the selection test. She'll go to university which she like. I'm so happy" Celina jumped up with joy. Her sister seems to be the greatest joy of her life.

He laughed and said "That's great"

"Oh my God, she's my pride" she said and hugged him.

"Yes, I can see it clearly in your eyes" he hugged her, smiled and said.

"But" suddenly Celina didn't smile anymore and her voice seemed to be less happy.

"What's wrong?"

"If she goes to university, I can't live with her anymore. I will miss her"

"I can often visit her"

"Uhm" she hugged him, nodded and said.

After a moment silence, Mycroft said "Let live with me". She looked up at his eyes.

"I said let live with me. I don't know the reason but recently I felt cold"

She hugged him. After a moment of thinking, she said "Ok". He smiled.

A few weeks later, Alicia started university, she was in the school dormitory. Celina also moved to Mycroft's house and lived with him.
