The Fate of Lucinda Park

Chapter 8

"Sweetie?" Mom said behind me, I turned around and saw her, and George with Mrs. Huddson. I moved away from Sherlock and walked over to her

"Mom!" I said hugging her while trying to fight the blush I had "You were supposed to call me before you came in" I said before pulling away to face her

"I rang the doorbell" Sherlock went over to my phone and turned off the music, George was watching me closely this time. I felt a shiver go down my spine

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear," I said looking at them both "Thank you, Mrs. Huddson for letting them in"

"No problem Dear," She said before disappearing back to her flat again

"Is this your apartment?" George asked nicely

"No, it's actually Sherlock's," I said motioning to him "I'll show you mine," I said squeezing past them into the hallway

"Are you and Lucy a thing?" I heard Mom say

"Mom!" I said still fighting the blush, Sherlock covered his mouth, he was blushing. I grabbed my Mom's hand and dragged them down to my flat, after I unlocked the door and let them in Mom turned to me

"Do you like him?" She said teasingly

"What! No, I just help him on his cases" I said going to the kitchen, she followed me

"What do you mean by cases?"

"Oh... um... he is a Consulting Detective. He helps New Scottland Yard, especially a guy named Lestrade" I said while making the coffee

"Oh. Is there danger involved?" I froze for second thinking back on my case

"No" I lied to her, she would have a heart attack if I told her the truth. That is not a joke

"How is London treating you so far?" She said while helping me bring the coffee to George

"Good, nothing bad has happened," I said

"That is good to hear," George said nicely again, I looked into his eyes

He is hiding something...

We all talked for a while, I walked out to the front door letting them know that they overstayed. Mom gave me a kiss on the cheek

"I have some stuff to do later Mom, you came at a good time but I can't talk anymore," I said

"Alright honey, we will be coming over tomorrow night," Mom said

"Be safe" George said to me like he wished ill of me

"I will" They left and I walked up to Sherlock's. I opened the door to his flat

"Your Mum is very..." He started to say

"Pushy?" I said chuckling a bit "She can be, especially because she wants Grandkids. Alex isn't up for that, and since I am the second oldest. It falls to me next" I said "I'm just not ready for something like that thought" Sherlock was in front of me

"She wants... Grandkids?" He said thinking that he would be the Dad

"Yeah, but as I said. I'm not ready for it, or even anything like that" Sherlock relaxed a bit now

"How are they?" He said changing the subject

"Good, Henry finally moved out so she feels a bit lonely with all her kids gone from home. George is well being him, otherwise, they are good" I said "Anything with well you know?" I asked scared

"Nothing yet" He walked over to me and hugged me "Why don't we go and get some dinner?"

"That sounds good"
