The Sign of Three (Sherlock x Female!Reader)

Chapter 2: Mr and Mrs Watson

Church bells peal and the doors to the church open. John and Mary, newly married, walk out followed by you and Sherlock and the chief bridesmaid named Janine, then two more bridesmaids and the vicar. "Congratulations! Okay, hold it there--I wanna get this shot of the newlyweds." The photographer said.

"Oh, okay." You said and you grabbed Sherlock's arm to move out of the way of the shot.

"Okay--three, two, one, cheese!" The photographer said and he took picture as the bridesmaids throws handfuls of confetti into the air.

The photographer continues to take photos of people at the wedding, including one of John, Sherlock and Lestrade standing side by side with a young pageboy standing in front of them.

Later, the photographer took a picture of you and Sherlock and when he finished Janine came up to you two. "The famous Mr Holmes! And Sergeant (L/N)! I'm very pleased to meet you." She said and you smile and nod at her.

Then she looks over at Sherlock and said. "But no sex, okay?" You and Sherlock look over at her.

"Um, sorry?" Sherlock said while you, simultaneously, said. "Excuse me?"

Janine raised her hands and laughs. "Calm down, I'm only messing. Bridesmaid, best man....it's bit traditional." She said.

You glare over at her and looped your arm around Sherlock's arm. "If that's the sort of thing you're looking for....the man over there in blue is your best bet. Recently divorced doctor with a ginger cat....a barn conversion....and a history of erectile dysfunction." Sherlock said and you blinked.
"Review that information, possibly not your best bet." You said.
"Yeah, maybe not." Janine said.
"Sorry, there was one more deduction there than I was expecting." Sherlock said, looking puzzled.
"Mr Holmes....Miss (L/N)....you're going to be incredibly useful." Janine said as she looks between the two of you and the walks away.

You growled under your breath and you hear Sherlock chuckle. "What?" You asked as you look at him.
"Jealous much, love?" He asked. You look at him for a moment and then turn your head away from him and he chuckles again.

He bends down and kisses your cheek then whispers. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." You shudder at his voice and look back over at him and kiss him lightly on the lips.

Later, John and Mary, with Sherlock at John's side and you by Sherlock's side, are standing outside the venue for e reception, greeting the guests. "Hello. Lovely to meet you." Mary said as she shakes a man's hand then she kisses a woman, who moves on to kiss John and then another man moves in to kiss Mary.

"How are you?" Mary asked him.

"You look beautiful, Mary." The man said.

"Thank you!" Mary said to him.

"Congratulations." The man said and then he moved on.

More guest past the four of you, then man wearing a lurid purple tie comes forward. Mary looks at him with delight. "David!" She said as she reaches out her arms ready to hug him. He leans away, laughing nervously, and just clasps her arm briefly. "Mary. Congratulations. You look, um, very nice." said David and he quickly moves away from her and goes to shake John's hand.

"John, congratulations. You're a lucky man." David said.

"Thank you." John said.

"Um, er, David, this is Sherlock and (y/n)." Mary said as you and Sherlock smile at him, tight-lipped.

"Um, yeah. We've, um, we've met."

​​​​FLASHBACK

David sits at the dining table at 221B, looks around the room and then turns where you and Sherlock are sitting opposite him. "So, what exactly are my duties as an usher?" David asked you two as he picks up the Sudokube from the desk and idly plays with it.
