An hour had passed when Mycroft walked through the door followed by Greg Lestrade and John Watson the two men was shocked to say the least at the scene before them, they had knowen Sherlock for years and never once had the thought of him having a family cross there minds.

"Brother" sherlock jumped up off the chair holding a sleeping Luna on his shoulder. "Dont worry I took it upon myself to explain the situation to these two and instructed Greg not to bring any back up for the time being."

Sherlock nodded in appreciation to Mycroft then turned to John and Greg "im sorry for not telling you about this but it was to protect them. Moriarty had spies everywhere it was the only way to keep them safe."

John placed a hand on his friends shoulder "its ok we understand, if put in the same situation i would have done exactly the same."

"Yeah but you cant stay here tonight. Mycroft is taking you and the kids back to 221b. We will clear things up here."

"Oh and Mary is at yours by the way. Mrs Hudson is looking after Rosie so she can help you out with the kids".

"Thanks John". After packing bags for each of his children they headed out into the cold towards the car and headed back to Baker Street.
