Sherlock hadn't seen John in months. Ever since the baby had arrived, it was like Sherlock was no longer needed; and like an old appliance, was thrown to the side of the road to be taken as trash. The flat was in a terrible state and though Mrs. Hudson occasionally dropped in to check on sherlock, he had always ensured her immediate exit within minutes of her entry. Every time anyone entered he would wreak havoc and force them to retreat for their own safety. <---Ouch...
