Sherlock and John were married the spring after Sherlock proposed. It was a small ceremony, with just their closest friends and family. Julia was their flower girl and ring bearer, and she cried even more than Mrs. Hudson and Nana did. She danced with both John and Sherlock at least three times, and was surprised to find that her grandfather was the one who taught Sherlock to dance in the first place.

Harry was at the wedding, too. Julia hadn't wanted to ask about her that day she came home to find her missing. If she had, she would've known that Harry was so ashamed to have met her for the first time while drunk that she didn't put up much of a fight when John checked her into one of the best rehabilitation facilities in England. Of course, Mycroft was so kind as to waive most of the fee.

Molly was soon engaged to a man she met at the wedding. He was one of John's old army friends, and he thought Molly was absolutely precious. When they had their first child four years later, Julia was named his godmother. She and Jonathan get along famously.

Kieran had been acting a bit off because his boyfriend Jake had broken up with him after five months. This was in order to be with the boy with whom he'd been cheating on Kieran for most of their relationship. After an appropriate amount of time had passed, Kieran realized Grace's intense crush on him and asked her for a date, but only after getting Will's blessing.

Julia and Will stayed together until they went to university and decided that a long-distance relationship would be difficult to maintain. They both agreed it would be best to end their relationship on a good note instead of turning it into an ugly thing between the two of them. However, this only lasted around three months before Will called to admit that breaking up with Julia was easily the stupidest thing he'd ever done.

Julia graduated with a degree in digital art, and Kieran with one in screenwriting. Will had gone to a different university and graduated with a degree in law. Will and Julia got married a few years after they graduated, as did Lena and Ruby. Grace and Kieran finally got married three years after everyone else.

Grace and Kieran had their four-year-old daughter Eden shortly after they were married, and Grace just recently gave birth to their newest additions: twins Peter and Sawyer.

Lena and Ruby never adopted children, but chose to focus on their careers. Ruby works as a chef in one of London's top restaurants and plays guitar on weekends. Lena got a scholarship to university on her football skills, but eventually gave it up to become an A&E nurse.

Daniel Goode married a boy named Sam Merritt, whom he met at one of his sister's football games. They adopted a little boy named Christopher, and he is now three years old.

Oliver is now a surgeon at Bart's hospital. He married a woman named Susie, and they have one seven-year-old daughter named Lauren. Amelia married Derek Brown, with whom she had a son: Jeremy, eight.

Will is now a successful lawyer, and Julia works for an animation company. They have four children - Victoria, eight; Gregory, six; Rosalynn, five; and Harley, three - who visit their grandpas in 221B on a weekly basis. They're all quite happy the way they are.
