It was the next day and it was the first full day of being Mr and Mrs Holmes outside of the doors of the brownstone, they both got up and ready to go down to the precinct; they hadn't been called but they wanted to talk to the captain and Marcus. The usual morning routine played out and they were outside the precinct by 10:00am, Sherlock went to walk inside but Joan pulled him back, she looked upset,
"Hey, Joanie, what's wrong" Sherlock asked quite seriously, just as he asked a single tear rolled down her right cheek, Sherlock moved his hand from her arm and wiped it away.
"I'm just nervous, what if they don't like the fact we're a couple" she replied,
"Then they won't have consulting detectives anymore" Sherlock laughed trying to lighten the mood, Joan took a deep breath and took Sherlocks hand,
"Let's do this" she said smiling widely. He entered the precinct first, with his wife not far behind him; they stepped into the elevator and he squeezed her hand, she squeezed back.
"We've got this" he whispered. They stepped out on the fifth floor of the building,
"Watson, Holmes, I didn't expect to see you two today" Marcus said as we walked closer to him, it didn't take him long to notice we were holding hands, "Is everything okay?" He questioned,
"Captains office now" Sherlock replied and Joan smiled.
Sherlock knocked on the office door and the captain waved his hand allowing them to enter, it also didn't take him long to realise they were holding hands. Marcus followed them in and shut the door behind him,
"Do you want to explain or are we going to have to wait" Marcus said, Sherlock looked at Joan and she shook her head as a response to the nonverbal question he was asking, it was down to Sherlock.
"We're married." Sherlock said bluntly, both of their mouths dropped as they took in the information they had just been given,
"How long?" Asked the captain,
"Almost a year" Joan chimed in.
"Wow, congratulations" Marcus said after an awkward silence.
"We just got bored of only being married at home, it hasn't affected our work and we won't let it, we just thought it was time for people to know." Sherlock added,
"I can't believe we didn't notice" Marcus said as he looked at the captain,
"Tell me about it" he replied.
"Now if it's anything to you two, me and my wife are going to go home." Sherlock announced, as they stood up the captain and Marcus shook Sherlocks hand and hugged Joan in congratulations. They walked out of their work place hand in hand,
"Thank you" Joan said as she nuzzled her face into his neck,
"For what?" Sherlock questioned,
"For being the best husband ever" she said proudly, he chuckled and kissed her on the forehead
