            Sherlock was partly surprised that Lestrade would be joining them. Would they be sleeping there as well? Mycroft would probably sleep at the inn. He always did. If he even slept, that was. The vampire of a man he was, Sherlock sometimes wondered if he did human things at all. Sherlock watched as his mother cooed and took Rosie from Mycroft to go clean her up, and offered her a smile as she walked off.
            
            Sherlock moved to hold John properly and kissed his head. He hummed thoughtfully and leaned into the kiss to his jaw and went to respond when Mycroft made a noise of disgust. He chuckled and turned to look at his brother, "they don't kiss. They stare at eachother until Mycroft can't stand the contact anymore and Lestrade goes home."

            “If you’d have bothered to talk to me before you shrieked out of the window, you would have known that Gregory will be here tonight. He’s going to be  here shortly, in fact.” Mycroft sighed, pulling Rosie off his shoulders and held her in his arms, looking down at her with a disapproving expression, “how does one get so sticky?”
            
            “Yeah,” John hummed, smiling a little turned his head into Sherlocks neck. “It’s been ages since we’ve spent any sort of time together that’s not been case related. Your parents want to spend time with Rosie so we should take advantage of that and have some child free time. We can do whatever you want,” He smiled and pressed a kiss to his jawbone, rolling his eyes when Mycroft made a noise of disgust. “Don’t act like you and Greg don’t kiss, what are you? Three?” He glanced at him, teasing a smile.

            Lorna grinned softly as she rocked back and forth on her heels like a child, her eyes bright before looking at Rosie lovingly, stroking her hair. "Hello my little love," before looking up at John with adoration, he was the perfect father, and she reached over kissing him ever so softly. "Love you," smiling, her beautiful eyes full of adoration for him. 

@TheFatalWoman ;
            
            John was cradling Rosie, humming softly to her when Lorna called. “Yep?” He walked through to see her, tilting his head at the look on her face before glancing up. “Oh- I think you owe me something then, my love.” He grinned.

“ ugh , fine ! ” rosamund groans , rolling her eyes . “ sherlock will just bring another one home . ”

            Sherlock listened as John spoke, still trying to purge the images of the victims from his mind. It could have been his daughter there. On that floor, hacked to pieces. He inhaled sharply then closed the water. "I'm safe, John. Safer than I was. I have my own bulletproof vest, my own firearm. Lestrade protected me." He opened the door slightly and stuck his hand out, wiggling his fingers to ask for his towel.
            
            "Besides, I promised I'd come back. We had a date planned, Rosie's school meetings. Lunch with Mrs. Hudson on Sundays. I'm domesticated. Domesticated animals always come home."

@lNTELLECTUS ;
            
            John listened to Sherlock, finding himself staring at a piece of lint that was rolling along the floor from the floor.  He had read a copy of the file that Sherlock had been e-mailed, those images scarred him slightly. It kept him awake some nights just knowing that Sherlock was working that case without him. 
            
            “Good- There’s horrible people in the world. They don’t deserve to live freely.” John mumbled, a heaviness in his voice. He knew all too well of the cruelness of people from working with Sherlock but also from the war. He’d seen his fair share of victims and had been at the hands of torturers; those people telling him they liked the terror in their victims eyes. “I would have felt a lot more as ease if I’d gone with you, you would have had protection. If I got a call from Greg that you were- I wouldn’t have forgiven myself.” he muttered and shook his head, the frown still on his face. 

@adamnedsoldier ;
            
            About the case. Sherlock inhaled sharply then rinsed shampoo from his hair. "Keiran Doherty. He'd been operating for years before they caught on, seven victims since 2016 until now. Attempted murders, the victims there are ten at least. He wasn't very good at killing, but he was good at hiding. The weather aided him. Number five was what made Lestrade call, a woman by Miss Lowe. Same modus operandi." 
            
            He stared through the glass at John's blurred figure and he tried to ignore the look that was frozen on her face. When did that begin to bother him? "Killed them on the street. Rain washed everything away. All trace evidence, we had a few scraps to work with. Nothing in the way of eyewitnesses. I spent hours in the lab. Hours profiling. I compiled a list of possible victims based on his activity in the region. I overlooked a possible victim, had done so for a long time. I returned to the idea, and that's how I caught him. Sheer luck some of the Yard said. God's interference." 
            
            Sherlock chuckled dryly, found himself disgusted at the idea then annoyed and finally, thankful. "Life in prison without parole. He used excessive violence on the victims. Used a hatchet on the first two, and a knife on the rest. He told me he liked to see the terror in their eyes. Fortunately, he didn't taint the victims after death. He would have if he continued. Truthfully, I'm glad you didn't come with."
