Over the next week Sherlock was busy with Lestrade and John on a complicated investigation of dual identity and murder. Sherlock was again in his element enjoying being involved on such a dastardly case, working alongside his best friend, talking freely and openly about his new lifestyle at Baker Street. Sherlock told John how delighted Mrs Hudson was to learn of Elle agreeing to move in permanently, not that things changed much as she was there nearly all the time anyway. Elle was pursuing a job hunt for a PR role with true intent now, sending out CVs and contacting people she knew from her previous incarnation. Some previous clients from the days she worked with Michelson had already said they would like to be on her books again if she got into another PR agency - or considered starting one up - and they were happy for her to use their names as transferring clients if necessary.
Luck was on her side and she found the perfect position for her - strange hours (with some evening commitments), but the role suited her. The interview and conversations with her new work colleagues clarified it was the right position for her and, true to their word, three of her previous clients immediately moved to her new agency once she was confirmed. Indeed, four of her more esteemed clients had moved to that agency on the closure of Michelson's old company and had made noises on Elle's behalf as a potential asset prior to this and they re-joined her list too. She would start work again after the Spring Bank Holiday week.
Elle and Sherlock had just finished enjoying an evening meal together, discussing calling his parents to confirm their visit that weekend, when his mobile rang and he found his mother on the other end. He was pleased to confirm everything was still on and he and Elle would be driving over to them some time Friday evening, after dinner. Then there was a surprising offer. Though Mycroft would be around during Friday and some of Saturday, he had been invited to spend the rest of the break at Chequers (the official residence of the Prime Minister) and had, of course, accepted. It meant that he would be there to meet Elle properly but would not be around all holiday so his mother suggested that Sherlock invite John and Mary to come and stay as well, if they had no other plans. Sherlock said he would get back to her once discussing the proposal.
Elle loved the idea - she found meeting Sherlock's family daunting and would be happier with friends around her so Sherlock rang John and put the offer to him. He spoke off-phone to Mary and they both agreed. They would meet at Baker Street on Thursday, meaning they would all travel together to Kew, stay overnight there then go on to Hampshire some time Friday evening. Sherlock called his mother to confirm John and Mary would be joining them, thanked her for the invitation on their behalf and said he would see them Friday evening. Elle texted her house mates to say John and Mary would be joining the party also.
"My parents are not monsters, you know."
"I know" Elle replied when Sherlock was teasing her. "It's just I feel I am going on an 'acceptance into the family fold' visit, you know, on approval, and feel a little intimidated and frankly worried."
"When they see how much I love you they will accept you with open arms. They will just be relieved you are actually real. Other than that, the fact one of their sons has a girlfriend will be more than a thrill for my parents."
"God, Sherlock, they are not going to be looking at me as grand-children production fodder are they?"
"What a horrible phrase and thing to say. No. I doubt they would be expecting grandkids any time soon, and if they are, I will explain our situation. I have never wanted children or been in any scenario where it was likely. If you can accept that love has put you again involved with someone who works closely with the police after your situation with Kris, I can more than accept, and therefore they will have to, that my lady and I are going to grow old together, child-free but loving one another more everyday."
"And that was a lovely thing to say. Thank you Sherlock, and sorry for my crudeness. It has played on my mind ever since their initial invitation."
Sherlock hesitated. "The word 'marriage' may come up, especially as John and Mary will be there now and they had met John before." He dropped his gaze to the floor.
"Well, I will try not to squirm too much, just don't confirm or deny anything."
"Perhaps now is not the time to ask but it would be nice to know your thoughts on marriage."
"Are you proposing?"
"No. Not..."
"Good" Elle interjected. "When the time is right Sherlock, you will know, I will know, and you will ask and I will answer. [She kissed him softly.] Let's leave it there for now." At least now Sherlock knew she had thought about it and was not refusing him outright. He had hinted he had thought about asking her before but felt it too soon in their relationship, though he knew he wanted her permanently in his life.
