John opens a small restaurant when he gets back from Afghanistan. But there's a new restaurant trying to bully every other restaurant out of the neighborhood. They aren't prepared to go up against Captain John Watson and the loyal regulars Mycroft, Sherlock, Lestrade, Jim Moriarty, and Sebastian Moran who have become extremely fond of the place and the man who owns it.

For John, trouble starts when a fake engagement is needed for a case. Keeping things secret turns out to be rather difficult when your brother in law actually is the Britsh Government. Soon enough whole London celebrates the happy event. To make things worse, Sherlock turns out to be a master of seduction and being 'involved' with Sherlock doesn't feel as bad as it should be...

The 1st epilogue to "Expectations" - reading that first is recommended but maybe not necessary. Absalom Holmes has inherited John's heart and Sherlock's curiosity. Not the easiest combination of traits when it comes to dealing with big changes and the harder facts of life. Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse, implied mpreg past and otherwise , slice of life, kidfic, fluffier than candyfloss.

When John heads overseas for a week, Sherlock's forced to fend for himself. It goes about as well as anyone could have anticipated. Which is to say, very, very poorly. Don't worry, things'll be fine in just seven days.
