John had been feeling horrible for the past few days since he and Sherlock had returned from their trip to investigate the hound and the mystery that surrounded Henry his whole life. For once, though it had nothing to do with being Sherlock's guinea pig during some experiment.

But despite the fact that he felt so sick he figured that he could make it to Tuesday which was a day that was usually case free. Then he could just rest and recover since he figured that it was a combination of exhaustion and continued labor that had him feeling like this in the first place.

Monday morning rolled around and groaning John got up repeating the mantra 'one more day one more day' internally. After a speedy shower he sluggishly moved down the stairs with the intent of preparing tea and maybe some toast since he didn't think that he could handle anything heavier than that at the moment.

By the time Sherlock joined him at the table he had drank half his cup of tea and was able to appear as calm as he normally did at breakfast. Hopefully today would go off without a hitch and a minimal amount of running but he just knew that something was going to go wrong because it always did.

A/N short I know but I just wanted to establish timeline and sick!John and I also wanted to ask a question. This is going to be an AU obviously and it's also going to contain John turning into an animal. I know what I want him to be but I just wanted to ask what other people think that he should be.
