Wishing Sherlock Holmes a very happy birthday and hoping he had a wonderful first year fully in the public domain.

Mrs. Hudson attends the first ever birthday party in 221B.

January 6

The fact that Epiphany and Sherlock’s birthday fell on the same date, should surprise no one. He’s quite smug about it himself, like the drama queen he is. I’m inserting an eyeroll right here! This is me a tiny bit inebriated with one glass too many of Tawny Port. No matter, it’s been a lovely day…

My Sacher Torte turned out to be perfect. The sponge had just the right consistency, the apricot jam I bought was exquisite and the chocolate glaze appeared shiny and rich. Sherlock almost drooled when he saw it. 

“Happy birthday, Sherlock,��� I say after I hand the cake to John. 

I go over to hug him, and he embraces me for a long time, whispering his thanks, and finishes with kissing my cheek. His eyes are more green than blue today, and they shine bright. He’s happy, I realise. 

Molly comes straight from the airport, a curtesy of Mycroft apparently, which Sherlock scoffs about, but only out of habit it seems. There’s no trace of hostility, and Molly brings a gift that makes Sherlock beam inappropriately. 

“You got your hands on his ears!” Sherlock exclaims when he’s unwraps and opens the small box. 

Molly blushes furiously and looks utterly pleased with herself. Her blush deepens when Sherlock kisses her cheek and thanks her more politely than I’ve ever witnessed him do. 

“Perhaps wait with those until the party’s over?” John suggests mildly with such fondness in his voice, it almost makes me blush too. 

“Of course, John,” Sherlock agrees softly, though I can see he aches to examine whoever’s ears Molly has gifted him. 

***

After my fourth, or was it the fifth glass of port, I take my leave. Molly accompanies me downstairs to collect Tim. I’ll miss him, but in the long run, I think he’s better off with Molly. I’m too accustomed to live alone, and Tim’s onslaught on my furniture is something I can do without. Besides, what I saw before I descended to my flat, made it quite clear that my taxing days are over. 

I turned to close the door to 221b behind me and right there, in front of the fireplace, John cupped Sherlock’s face in his hands, while Sherlock’s hands were secured around John’s waist. Just before their lips met, I heard John’s whisper, and it made my heart swell with affection for the two men. 

“Happy birthday, my love.”

Happy Birthday Sherlock Holmes 🥳🥳🥳

SH: Nothing whatsoever.

When Sherlock came home from his trip through the city, he found an envelope. He had been out alone, because John has had daddy-duties with Rosie at home. Now the envelope immediately caught his eye. John had written his name on it. His husband had obviously tried his best to write it in a nice manner. Long, precise letters. No flourish – that wouldn’t be John.

‘Happy Birthday, Sherlock’,

it simply said.

Too intrigued to walk over to the hook, he threw his belstaff over a stool and took the envelope in his hands. Sherlock carefully bent it. Not a card – which would make sense, since John always insisted on getting him a present for his birthday; No, it was paper. Did John print something out? He brought it to his nose. It smelled clean, almost sanitary, a hint of John and… was that Mycroft’s smell? Sherlock frowned – why would birthday wishes from his husband smell like his brother? It was obvious, this envelope had to be important – John even had made the effort to put a paperweight on it, far away from Rosie’s stool, so she couldn’t get food on it.

Too curious what was inside, Sherlock finally did open the envelope – with the laid out ready paperknife. (So much preparation for a simple Happy Birthday letter? No, this was something else entirely, but what?)

Not in the mood for more deductions, Sherlock pulled the papers out of the envelope. And stared. For a long time. When he remembered to blink again, he did so exactly seven times, rapidly and consecutively. His hands started shaking. Sherlock almost couldn’t believe it, but his eyes actually filled with tears.

Suddenly he felt arms wrap around his waist from behind. "Happy Birthday, Love.", John whispered into his back.

“John I-“

John hummed.

“I-” Sherlock fought for words through that knot of emotion in his throat. Before him, in his hands, he held adoption papers for Rosamund Watson-Holmes.

John squeezed him tighter. “Are you okay?”

Sherlock nodded, trying to hold back the treacherous sentiment. Then it won him over and he sobbed. The great detective turned in John’s arms and wrapped his husband in the tightest embrace, he had ever given.

“I- I am Watson’s father?”, Sherlock needed to hear it from John’s mouth. He wasn’t sure why the documents in his hands were not enough, but he needed to hear it from John.

“Officially, as of today. Congratulations, Sherlock.”, John’s voice was so soft and full of love and Sherlock knew: He would protect his Watsons with his life and more.

“I don’t know what to say, John. Thank you. I love you.”

“That’s all I need to hear, Sherlock. I love you too. How about you go upstairs and say goodnight to your daughter?”, John loosened the hug and looked up at Sherlock. His eyes the softest color of blue. Sherlock saw so much love, trust, and pride in them, his own teared up again.

"Come with me?”, Sherlock asked softly, grabbing John’s hand.

“I’ll always be with you, Love.”

They shared a soft, emotional kiss. Then the proud fathers finally walked up to their daughter’s room.

Happy birthday Sherlock. How do you feel?

I do not feel.

The Sherlock escape room posted this to Instagram today. I guess they live in a happier timeline where Mary is still alive and Sherlock still believes Redbeard to be a dog...
