I only own Katie

'Ugh,' Sherlock thought as he came to, 'What happened last night?'

Sherlock groaned and opened his eyes. He tries to sit up but can't. He turns to his right and sees John sleeping, with a strong arm protectively on top on Sherlock's stomach. Sherlock looks left and finds Katie sleeping, holding his hand. He sighs and tries to sit up again. Still unable, Sherlock clears his throat.

"John," he said with a slightly hoarse voice.

John stirred but didn't awake.

"John," he said, louder, "wake up."

This time, his best friend did wake up. John yawned and stretched.

"Good morning, Sherlock," said John, still not realizing that Sherlock's feeling better.

'Three, two, one,' Sherlock thought.

"SHERLOCK!" John cried, giving his friend a big hug, "I'm so glad your awake! You gave us quite the scare last night."

"I did?" Sherlock said in confusion.

John explained what had happened to Sherlock while checking his temperature.

"Yah, so me and Katie kept watch before we both fell asleep," said John, taking the thermometer out of Sherlock's mouth. "thankfully, your temperature dropped. You should be up and solving cases in a couple of days."

Then, they heard groaning. They saw Katie waking up.

"Good morning Katie," said John, smiling at her, "guess who's awake?"

Katie's eyes widen and she turned to Sherlock, who was smiling at her.

"Dad!" she cried, hugging Sherlock tightly, "don't you ever scare us like that ever again."

"I guess I did scare you guys badly," said Sherlock, hugging Katie back.

"I'm just glad that you're awake," Katie whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.

John smiled and then joined the family hug.

Four days later

"John!"

Upon hearing his name, John looked up at his friend.

"We have a case," said Sherlock, with a smile while grabbing his coat.

"Great," said John, smiling as well.

He stopped what he was doing and grabbed his coat, following Sherlock downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, they saw and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then, Katie came home from school.

"A case?" she asked, setting her bag down.

"Yes," said Sherlock.

Katie smiled and went outside with Sherlock right behind her.

'Things are back normal now,' John thought as he smiled, 'well as normal as it can be with Sherlock.'

The End
