This is a continuation of the last story but is set about four months after.

Joan woke with sunlight coming through the window, it was beautiful. She looked over and saw Sherlock's half of the katil was empty. She put on her dressing gaun and went downstairs.
'Sherlock?' No one answered, he must be out. She picked her bag up off the meja, jadual and checked her phone, there was a text from him.
Sorry i'm not there, Gregson needed a hand with a case. Make it up to anda tonight. Cinta you.
She smiled then went into the dapur to get some coffee. She went and sat down then she got a call from her mum.
'Hey mum....

Sherlock sat in the back of the police car as they escorted him back to the brownstone, back to his family. He couldn't believe he was finally going utama to them, he missed waking up to them every morning. As they pulled up outside, Joan was standing on the doorstep with Joseph.

'Hey.'
'Hey.'
Sherlock ran up the steps and hugged them both. Joseph held out his arms to him.
'Hey Joseph.' He spun him round and Joseph began to giggle. Sherlock kissed him on the cheek. 'I missed anda so much.'
He looked back to Joan.
'But i think i miss anda most of all.' He leaned in and kissed her. The Ciuman only last...

Sherlock saw at least 3 different exits from where he stood but all were to far to hatch an escape attempt that wouldn't involve a casuality. He knew what is was like to be shot but didn't want to experience it again. He checked his watch it was ten to eight, he needed to send a signal to Gregson but how? He looked round him for something that could help, he noticed a button the right hand side of the dinding which could be the buildings old whistle to alert the men work was finished. But getting to it would prove to be a challenge.

'Which one of anda is lying?'
'Micheal we've been doing buisness...

Joan sat in the police station, anxiously waiting for Gregson to appear. She hadn't heard from Sherlock in days, she just wanted to know he was ok. She heard Gregson's voice.
'Joan? What are anda doing here? Where's the wee man?'
'He's with my mom, i was wondering anda had a moment?'
He invited her into his office.
'Take a seat.'
She sat down.
'I was wondering if anda heard from Sherlock?'
'I have, why?'
'Cause he hasn't phoned me in a few days, did he sound ok?'
'Joan he's fine, I got off the phone to him a couple if days ago. We're arranging a operation in order to take down Micheal, he's now in on one...

Sherlock woke the seterusnya morning, Olivia was lying asleep beside him. He got up and went downstairs, no sign of Oscar atau Micheal. He took out his phone and dialed Joan's number.
'Sherlock.'
'Morning Watson.' He heard Joesph in the background. 'He's up early.'
Why do anda think i'm up?'
He laughed.
'I miss you.'
'I miss anda too.'
He took a deep breathe.
'I have to tell anda something.'
'What?'
He looked out the dapur to make sure Olivia wasn't up.
'I've figured out a way to get closer to Micheal.'
'But?'
'But it involves me and Oscars sister.'
Joan went silent, she held the phone against her chest imagining...

They left Gregson's office holding each others hand and found Oscar sitting in the corridor.
'Holmes, what's going on I've been here for almost two hours.'
'They haven't told you?'
'Told me what?'
Gregson and loceng appeared from round the corner.
'Sherlock, can we have a word with anda and Oscar for a moment?'
Sherlock gave Joan a Ciuman on the cheek and followed them into one of the interview rooms.
'Now, Oscar we have decided not to charge anda but only if anda help us catch your dealer.'
'What? I've already told anda i'm not telling anda anything, if he finds out it was me i'm dead. You've seen the others.'...

They both sat in Gregson's office as they questioned Oscar about the drug dealer, they hadn't berkata a word to each other since leaving the brownstone. Sherlock could tell when she was annoyed with him, he had seen that look many times. He moved closer to her and buried his face in her hair.
'Joan, please, talk to me.' He kissed her shoulder. 'I'm sorry.'
She sighed.
'I know anda are, but you've been keeping lebih secrets from me first it was Irene, then your brother now this. How many lebih can i expect?'
'No more.'
'You sure about that.' He placed his forehead on her shoulder, not wanting to look in...

It had been almost an jam since Sherlock went down to the basement. Joan had began to pace in front of the door wondering who could be down there, she knew it wasn't Irene as she was in prison. She stopped pacing to open the door, she heard Sherlock's voice but didn't recognize the other one. She crept quietly down further reaching the door at the bottom, she carefully opened the door and peered through the small gap.

'So let me get this right, anda want me to help anda get rid of a drug yu, ikan jerung anda owe a bunch of money too?'
'Exactly.'
'Sherlock scoffed.
'You've got to be kidding.'
'Come on Holmes,...

Set a couple of years after Mycroft's funeral.
Sherlock and Joan have been married for almost two years and Joesph has just turned two.

Joan woke from her sleep upon hearing the noise downstairs, she got out of the katil and went down the stairs to living room only to see that Sherlock and Joesph had been playing one of their many games and have knocked over almost everything in the living room.

'Sherlock!'
He looked at Joan and grabbed Joesph to stop him running around,
'What is going on? I thought anda berkata you'd be at the station this morning?'
'I was, I managed to solve the case in under half an...

Set a couple of months after the trial

As Sherlock sat, waiting for Joan, he thought about the past couple of years. His relationship with Joan has gone from strength to strength, sure they've had their moments but what couple hasn't? He has a beautiful baby boy, who he adores so much and his relationship with his father has gone from none existent to rebuilding. And now he's here.

'Sherlock?' He snapped out of his trance. 'You ok?' He looked up to see Joan standing with Joesph.
'I'm fine. Just thinking.'
'What about?' She sat down seterusnya to him.
'Life.'
'Sherlock..' She took his hand in hers. 'It's...

Sherlock woke early and just stared at his brother. They were going utama today and he couldn't be happier. He would see his son soon but most importantly he would see Joan. He missed her so much. Mycroft rolled over and opened his eyes.
'Morning.'
'Morning.' Mycroft sat up. 'What time is it?'
'Eight o'clock. anda can go back...'
'No i'm fine. What time's our flight?'
'About two o'clock. We have a few hours left.'
'Well..Better start packing.' Mycroft got out the katil and picked up his bag. 'Are anda sure anda want me to stay with you?'
'I'm sure.' They smiled at each other. Sherlock followed his brother...

After a couple of days, Joan was discharged but they kept Sherlock in for lebih observation along with Mycroft. As his brother slept, Sherlock couldn't help but blame himself. If he knew Moriarty was in London his would never have come and this probably wouldn't have happened. Joan crept in along with this Joseph.
'Hey.'
'Hey.' She gave him a quick kiss. 'How are anda feeling?'
'I'm fine, i don't know why...'
'It's just a precaution.'
'I know.. but i want to go utama with anda and this little one. How is he?'
'He's good, feels so weird..I didn't expect to have him for another three months..and now..here...

Joan woke the seterusnya morning with Sherlock's arms wrapped around her. She gently turned to face him, he look so peaceful when he was asleep. She leaned in and gave a slow, soft kiss, After a moment she felt him reply. She pulled away slowly and placed her forehead against his.
'Can i get woken like that everyday?.' She giggled.
'Maybe..If your good.' She gave him a quick kiss. 'I have to meet my mother today, hope anda don't mind.'
'Well it's ruined my plans for the da...'
'What plans?'
'Well they involved you, me and this bed.' Joan smiled as he leaned in and kissed her, his hands gripped her waist...

That night Sherlock slept on the couch, He didn't want to make things lebih awkward with Joan. When he woke, he thought about what to say to her, he couldn't just ignore this. He sat up and saw Irene in the kitchen.
'Your up early.'
'Couldn't sleep, What about you?'
'A lot on my mind.' Irene went and sat seterusnya to him.
'Here.' She handed him a cup of tea.
'Thank you.' He took a sip.
'So what's on your mind?' Sherlock remained silent, just staring at his tea. 'Does it have something to do with anda sleeping on the couch?'
'It doesn't matter.' He leaned ke hadapan and placed his cup on the table.
'Joan?'
'...We..We...

Sherlock went upstairs to get changed. He had to do something about Irene. Joan came out of the bathroom when he had just finished dressing.
'Where anda off too?.'
'Gregson phoned. He needs me at the station.' He kissed her forehead. 'I won't be long.'
'Take a key with you, i'm booking the scan so i don't know how long i'll be.'
'Alright, i'll see anda later. Cinta you.'
'Love anda too.'
He decided to walk to the station, he needed to clear is mind. He had to decide if he was going to tell Joan what happened atau not, he didn't want to hurt her again. He promised her father that he wouldn't. As he walked...

Sherlock couldn't keep his eyes of Joan all night, she was amazing. He knew he had to ask her now atau he never will. He already told her dad about tonight and was waiting for his permission to ask her. Joe gave him a nod, Sherlock took a deep breathe.
'Sherlock, anda ok?.'
'I'm fine, in fact i'm..Happier then i've ever been. Joan, when we first met i knew anda were something special, and when we got together i knew anda were the right one for me. You've never telah diberi up on me and i promise to do the same.' He took the ring out of his pocket. 'Joan Watson, will anda do me the tremendous honor of becoming...
