Chapter Text
“Sherlock! You will never guess what happened at work today!” John shouted excitedly as he barreled through the door of 221B Baker Street clutching his daughter, Rosie, in his arms.
“What happened?” Sherlock knew better than to actually try and make a guess as to what had happened, he had finally learned that John would much rather tell Sherlock the news he usually could already deduce. Today, however, he couldn’t read John Watson’s news anyway. He could read that Rosie had been up a lot the previous night, that work had been especially emotionally draining today, and that John had stepped in a puddle on the way home. And yet somehow John was in a chipper mood. Sherlock awaited an answer.
“I’ve been invited to a very exclusive medical conference in Cardiff this weekend! I never thought they would ask me but apparently they were very impressed by my work ethic, and some suggestions I have recently proposed to improve the office, and have asked me to represent Bart’s at the conference!”
“That’s fantastic John! It is a bit short notice though isn’t it?”
“Well you see they were going to send someone else, but she had a conflict she couldn’t get out of, so they asked me to go in her stead. Which does make me second choice but I’ll take it! I’ve been wanting to go to this conference for years, they have seminars on all of the latest medical technologies and techniques, it’s an exclusive look at up and coming medicine. I can’t wait!”
“I’m so happy for you John, you deserve this recognition and more, really you should have been their first choice, but it is still a high testament to your ability that they chose you for this endeavor.”
“Thank you Sherlock, I’ve got to start making preparations right away!”
