Who did Sherlock pick? Portia? Moriarty...Irene...?
Last we left Portia and Sherlock, Portia had been shot and was lying on the floor of a warehouse bleeding out, close to death. Sherlock...
"With not much to go on Sherlock, I don't know what else I can do." Watson said pacing in our old apartment that he had now moved into since we were gone. He was holding the picture along with the other notes we had kept, which weren't many. I just watched these two mean pace and talk, it was rather fascinating.
"She found where we live, she knows where Portia's mother lives and how her house is set up." Sherlock said.
"Which she could have known from her time of following you or when she even stayed here in this apartment when she first came back." Watson said and I grunted causing both men to look at me.
"Sorry...that's just around the time..." I said and unknowingly placed my hand on my side. Sherlock just half nodded and then looked back at Watson.
"Without me giving the two of you constantly protection and surveillance there isn't much more I can do." Watson said.
"So basically, Sherlock with his gun and you following us, yeah perfect plan." I said.
"I'm sorry Portia, I wish I had more." Watson said and I just shook my head slightly.
"No, it was a long shot. We know nothing about where she is or when she plans to attack again." I said and Sherlock sighed. I then thought of something, looked around and smiled.
"When do we get to meet you wife?" I asked and Watson blushed.
"Wife? What?!" Sherlock said. I smiled, got up and pointed to the woman's coat hanging by the door, then to the then the few homey touches like flowers in vases then the frilly curtains.
"Wifely touches...where is she Watson?" I asked and he smiled.
"She's right Sherlock, I got married." Watson said and I smiled at Sherlock.
"And you call yourself a detective." I said and Sherlock laughed, leaning down giving me a small kiss.
"Well she is out of town at the moment. She got word her mother was sick so she is going to take care of her but the minute she is back I would love to have a dinner together so we can all meet." Watson said and I nodded looking at Sherlock.
"We would love to. It will be nice having another married couple." Sherlock said and I smiled.
"Yeah, if it wasn't you, I have a feeling soon it was going to be Enola." I said and Sherlock stiffened beside me.
"Portia..."
"Stop denying it Sherlock, she and Tewkesbury are getting very close and serious." I said and Sherlock groaned but Watson nodded.
"That's a good match for Miss Holmes." Watson said and I nodded.
"Sherlock just doesn't like the fact his baby sister is getting serious with someone." I said and he sighed.
"I just don't want her to rush." Sherlock said and I rolled my eyes.
"Can you just relax please? Let Enola live her life and just know before things get too serious, I'm sure Tewkesbury will talk to you and Eudoria." I said and Sherlock just nodded. I shook my head. "If you gentlemen would excuse me, I could use a bit of fresh air." I said and went to leave the apartment.
"You okay?" Sherlock asked and I nodded.
"Just feeling a little stuffy." I said and kissed his cheek, leaving the apartment. I was standing outside people watching and getting some fresh air. Soon the door to the apartment building was opening and Sherlock was standing there.
"With Irene being a threat, you shouldn't be standing somewhere or be anywhere for that matter alone." Sherlock said.
"I don't care anymore Sherlock. I might have been a sitting duck out here but maybe that's what we need, someone as bait to draw her out." I said.
"Which I don't want to be you." Sherlock said sternly.
"And I don't want it to be you but since she is coming after me mostly, I mean wouldn't it be the perfect chance to catch her." I said and Sherlock shook his head.
"You know sometimes I think you have a death wish."
"I don't actually though, I just want to live my life, have children, be a normal married couple and not have the worry or threat of it all being taken away." I said and Sherlock sighed.
"Well, what if we work on that when this threat is finally over. Maybe take another trip somewhere..." Sherlock trailed off.
"I don't want or need another trip Sherlock Holmes I just want you and me and baby makes three." I said and he smiled down at me giving me a small kiss.
"That sounds like a nice plan." Sherlock said and then smiled down at me.
"I'm going to get us the carriage for tonight, I want to take you out." Sherlock said.
"You do?! Where?!" I asked excited knowing we hadn't been out in forever.
"Somewhere special after a nice dinner somewhere. Just you and me, the Holmes' out on the town." Sherlock said and I smiled.
"I would love that." Sherlock said and I smiled as we headed to the carriage we had now to head home and get ready for out night out on the town.

As we were getting ready to go out Sherlock came walking up behind me as I was sitting at the mirror fixing my hair.
"So I was thinking..." Sherlock said, and I smiled.
"Yes?" I asked. He leaned placing a small kiss on my exposed neck and then placed a small box in front of me. "What is this?" I asked and Sherlock smiled.
"Open it." Sherlock said and I grabbed the box and opened it to find a pair of silver earrings that would dangle.

"Oh Sherlock...they're beautiful." I said and he smiled.
"I thought they would look amazing on you." Sherlock said as I put them on. "And I was right." He said. I turned my head to look at him and smiled.
"I love them, thank you." I said and he smiled.
"I love you." Sherlock said.
"And I love you." I said.
There was a knock on the door, Sherlock left the room, and I heard the man speak.
"Your carriage is here Mister Holmes." He said. I walked out of the bedroom dressed, wrapping my shawl around myself.
"You ready Misses Holmes?" Sherlock asked me.
"Let's go out on town Mister Holmes." I said walking up to him, linking my arm in his and out the door we went.
