It was one o'clock in the morning and Sherlock Holmes laid in his hospital bed unable to sleep and bored out of his mind. When there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," he said; expecting to see one of the three nurses who had came into his room to check vitals throughout the night. To his surprise it wasn't a nurse who entered his room; but Joan Watson.

"Watson, what are you doing here?" Sherlock whispered.

"Gregson told me what happened. I came to check on you," Joan told him. She sat down on one of the plastic chairs by Holmes' bed and asked: "Sherlock what were you thinking? You could have overdosed and died!"

"I assure you Watson, I had no intention of dying and leaving you."

Joan snorted and rolled her eyes. "You are not the first person to make that kind of promise, Sherlock. It's not an easy one to keep."

"Are you saying that you don't believe me?" asked Sherlock.

Joan shook her head. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just I know that there some promises that no one can keep and not dying is one of them!"

"Watson, would you bring your chair a little closer, please?" A little suspicious Joan did what Sherlock asked. A second later, he grabbed her hand.

"Watson, would you stay with me?"

Joan glanced at the closed door. "What if a nurse comes in?" Sherlock smirked.

"If anyone asks, I'll tell them that you're my girlfriend it that makes you feel better."

Joan laughed. "I don't think that will work Sherlock, since I told the nurse on duty that we work with the NYPD."

"What she thinks that the people on the police force don't have relationships with one another?"

"I don't know," Joan admitted. "But don't worry I'll stay with you anyway." She told Sherlock.

"Thank you, Watson." Sherlock said, sleeply. Joan smiled, squeezed his hand and went to look for some blankets for the couch.

Fin.

Very nice! Of course Joan would be the one Sherlock asks to stay with him.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! I know that some writers like to have them as a couple. (I would too) but it's to soon in the series to do that.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. And it's because Joan is the one person Sherlock feels safe with.
