Sherlock walks into the kitchen
"Ooh, you're making breakfast"
"I was but...we have nothing in. I'm just going to pop to the shops" John replies
"Then I'll go back to sleep"
John leaves then comes back because he left his wallet. He goes to the bathroom
The doorbell rings
"Forgot you're...Lestrade"
"Hi"
"It's my day off" Sherlock says
"It's not about work"
"What then?" Sherlock asks
"Can I come in?"
"John's going to be here any minute"
"It won't take a second"
"Then you can tell me here" Sherlock replies
Silence
"So?"
"What does he have that I don't?"
"Greg, don't do this"
"Why not you love me I know you do"
"I don't" Sherlock replies
"I don't believe you"
"The honest truth is I never did"
Lestrade looks away
"Greg, I'm not trying to hurt you but maybe if you knew the truth it would help you move on"
"I can't...I won't" Lestrade replies
"I think you should leave"
"Well, maybe I'll just tell John about us"
"He already knows, which is exactly the reason I told him"
Lestrade steps out side
Sherlock closes the door and goes upstairs
A few hours later
"You took you're time...What's wrong?" asks Sherlock
"I have a confession to make"
"Uh-oh"
"I heard you and Greg talking"
"I see"
"Do I have to worry?" asks John
"No, John I love you"
"(Sighs) I know"
"You know what I wish, I wish it never happened. If I could go back and change it I would in a heartbeat"
"I know that, too" replies John
John kisses Sherlock
"I love you"
"Is this going to be a problem?" asks Sherlock
"No...I won't let it"
2 weeks later
"You should know this will be my last case"
"You're retiring?" Sherlock asks
"I'm being transferred"
"Where?"
"Scotland" Lestrade replies
"Greg, I didn't mea..."
"It's for the best, you know when you died I thought I was over you but then you came back and so did my feelings"
"Greg, I don't regret..."
"It's alright I know that's not true, you're not a very good liar"
"Greg..."
"I honestly thought you loved me but when John came along I knew that couldn't have been true, you two are soul mates" Greg cuts him off again
Silence
"It's ok, I'll be fine"
5 years later
A toddler walks up to a man in JFK airport and tugs on his coat
"Hello"
"She's definitely you're youngest fan" John says
"I'm sorry she...I think she likes you're coat"
"I don't believe it...John"
"Lestrade" replies John
"You two know each other"
"Yea, Andrew this is John and Sherlock" Lestrade says
They all shake hands
"Nice to meet you"
"And this mischievous madam..."
Lestrade lifts the toddler in his arms
"Is my daughter, Rachael"
"Daughter?"
"I know shock horror, Andy and I are actually here for our third anniversary"
"Congratulations" John replies
"Thanks...What you are two doing here, you on a case?"
"It's a belated honeymoon slash 6 months anniversary" Sherlock replies
"I guess it's my turn to say congratulations, I wish I could have been there"
Silence
"Ok, well it was nice seeing you"
"You two" replies Sherlock
They all hug and John and Sherlock walk away
"I know this is a stupid question since you're on your honeymoon. We have a house here, I was wondering if you want to stay with us" Lestrade says
John looks at Sherlock
"I mean it would make things easier"
"And cheaper" Sherlock replies
"Those too...are you sure?"
"Positive" replies Andrew
"You promise the second you feel like we're imposing you'll say"
"Absolutely" replies Lestrade
Andrew and John walk on ahead with Rachael
"I just want to reassure you that any feelings I had for you are gone"
"Please, you're married and you have a daughter...you seem happy"
"I am" Lestrade replies "Andrew is the best thing that's ever happened to me, truly"
