* Harriet's visibly pregnant as she lets herself in the door of 221B. It's been four months since Paris, and she looks healthier but there's a scar on her cheek. Her stomach is swollen and her hair still long and red.*
Hello? I'm baaaack...

*Sherlock hears conversation outside the door and recognises the voices. He has regained most of his mobility, though running is still difficult, and he wakes in the middle of the night in pain on occasion. He has also conquered the urge to go back to the cocaine.*
*He's bored and cross and opens the door, taking in the swollen stomach of Harry and rolling his eyes*
Proper couple, aren't you? You really ought to stop your pregnant ex-good-time from getting herself banged up unless you don't mind a defective child. Now what is it you want?

*dimmock is surprised by how much Sherlock has recovered. he holds the present out to him. it is wrapped in a dark blue wrapping paper.* "i got you a new watch as a token of my appreciation for when we were in paris."

*Jesus, Harry thinks. It's good to be back in England. She sits herself down in John's armchair.*
John about?
*For the moment she avoids Dimmock's eye.*

Don't think so. Said he was going to buy milk or something, probably. Wasn't listening.
*takes the watch from Dimmock and sneers at it--he really didn't need another one, but he's well aware that to refuse it would be ungrateful*
You're offering me a watch for you saving my life? Misplaced gratitude, but I'm not arguing.
*he is leaning against the doorframe, not wanting to let them in--he was busy tinkering with his chemistry equipment and didn't want to be disturbed*
I assume you're here for more than just checking up on me?

*Harriet rolls her eyes*
I'm fine, thanks for asking.
Any chance of a cup of tea? I'm gasping.

I can see you're fine. Didn't need to ask. Scarred but not dazed, in fact, annoyingly chipper. Baby's still growing, you've gained healthy maternal weight, and you've successfully managed to keep off the alcohol. You're medically and psychologically fine. No need to ask for information I can see on you to begin with.
*reluctantly allows the pair in and starts the kettle*
So is this a social visit, then?

*Harry's eyes follow Sherlock's actions as she talks*
Not really, although Kristina sends her best.
*She continues to watch him*
I presume you're not going to ask where I've been, then. What I've been doing. It hasn't all been pre-natal classes and birth plans. Talking of, did you know you can give birth in a bath these days? Absolutely ridiculous, I said to Kristina, what if the thing drowns?
*She's happily babbling to herself now, colour returning to her cheeks.*

*Sherlock grimaces slightly at the mere concept of giving birth, let alone doing so in a bath where one would be surrounded by not only water but the birthing fluids*
*quickly turns to Dimmock*
I scanned through them. Nothing in particular jumped out at me, other than the fact that Manuel is safely not within visual distance of me, which is precisely where I prefer him.

*Harry glances up, frowning*
Case file? What case file?
She stands up, one hand on her stomach and walks over to the kitchen*
What case file, tell me?
Having spent the last four months working 16 hour days, ignoring Kristina's pleas for her to slow down, or take a day off, it's hard for her to adjust to being kept in the loop

And undoubtedly, he wants me to come along as a human polygraph or something equally dull.
*rolls his eyes and pours the tea*
How do you take your tea, since we're being boring and domestic and all of that?
