Hello! Two updates in one day! I didn't think I would get it done but I did! Thank you for the reviews and I want to thank those who made suggestions! I would't have thought to use Sarah as a chapter so I want to thank leobulter for the suggestion and hope I did it justice.

Sorry for any mistakes and I hope you all enjoy!

He had just come in, looking for a job. Sarah never expected an ex-army doctor to look for such boring work. She did expect to have a chance with him.

Late night book event

They didn't get many people walking off the street asking for a job in a small clinic – especially ex-army doctors. It was Sarah who was asked to interview him and she eagerly took the chance to get to know him.

They didn't get many good looking ex-army doctors so she wasn't about the let the chance go by. She was more than willing to give him a chance, she could see that he needed the money and it was obvious that he was agitated. Being in war to coming back to living a more less active lifestyle was sure to make anyone wanting a job or hobby.

She read through his file after he had left, promising to be back the next day for his first shift. His record was impressive. He had saved many lives during the war, putting his own life on the line to save his fellow soldiers.

Her heart had beat with sympathy when she learnt that he had been shot while trying to save another man. The wounded man had survived because of John and both had to leave the army because of it.

She was happy to have such a brave man working for the clinic. In the file was a picture of John dressed in his army uniform. Sarah gazed at the picture and felt her cheeks heating up. It was a good picture and she had always loved a man in a uniform.

The clinic was far to busy for the amount of people they had working and Sarah hurried to the front desk.

"What's going on?" Sarah asked, her eyes darting to the line.

"That new doctor you hired. He hasn't buzzed anyone in for ages," the receptionist whispered quietly.

"I'll go check on him," Sarah said and she quickly headed to John's office. She knocked but received no answer and so she pushed open the door. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was fast asleep at his desk. She knew she should of, but she didn't have the heart to wake him up and so she let him sleep and decided to take his patients instead.

John came out, his face tired and weary. Sarah looked up and let her eyes raked over him. He was adorable when he just woke up and she wondered what he would look like waking up next to her.

"I thought I had more patients?" John asked.

"I took a few of yours. One or two," Sarah told him, standing up straight.

"One or two?" John questioned and she smiled.

"Or five or six," she allowed and he chuckled softly.

"Sorry. Not very professional falling asleep," John said and Sarah shook her head.

"No. what kept you up so late?" Sarah asked, curious.

"I was attending a sort of book club," John told her, shrugging on his jacket.

"Oh, you're girlfriend likes books does she?" Sarah asked, trying to act casual but she wasn't sure if she succeeded or not.

"No, I don't have a girlfriend," John shook his head.

"Good," Sarah blurted out. Before John could respond his phone went off. He gave Sarah an apologetic look and fished out his phone. He read the text message and sighed.

"How did he even get my number," John muttered to himself and then cleared his throat. "Sorry, I have to go. I'll try not to fall asleep next time."

"Bye," Sarah called after him as John left hurriedly and she sighed. She didn't get the chance to ask him out on a date. Next time she would.

Sarah continued to watch John as he came to work every other day. Sometimes he would be exhausted from things that Sarah wasn't entirely sure and other's he seemed to be happy and light. She still hadn't managed to ask John out but she working with that.

Every time she tried, something would interrupt them. On a low day where they didn't have many patients, Sarah asked John for lunch. The lunch well and the two of them got on well. After lunch the walked back to the clinic together and Sarah tried some flirting and she thought she was doing well.

When they walked in, a tall man's eyes snapped to them. He was handsome and had a small child sitting on his lap. The man eyed Sarah coldly and she flinched back at his intense gaze. She looked to John to see if he had noticed the man's intense gaze but John was smiling at them. He went to the man and lifted the boy off his lap and held him on his hip.

"Hello Desmond," John beamed and kissed his cheek.

"Daddy!" Desmond giggled and Sarah's eyes widened with shock.

"We are here for his shots," Sherlock said, standing up and going to John. Sherlock looked to Sara and then, with obvious movements, wrapped a firm arm around his waist and stood far to close for them not to be close.

"Of course," John nodded and gently pressed a kiss to Sherlock's cheek. "Come on through. Thanks for lunch Sarah."

She nodded weakly and watched as the two men headed back to John office. She hoped that the two of them were just friends but it was a long shot. She had no idea that John was a father and there was no doubt that Sherlock was the man father too.

Sherlock came out carrying Desmond and looked very satisfied. John followed him out, his hair a little mussed and his lips were a dark red. It was clear that Sherlock had given John a very...deep goodbye. Sherlock looked to Sarah and smirked and she looked away.

"See you at home love," Sherlock said, his voice deep and husky.

"Pick up some milk on your way home," John reminded him and Sherlock rolled his eyes.

"Boring," Sherlock drawled.

John rolled his eyes and kissed Desmond's head. John smiled at Sarah before heading back to his office to see his next patient.

Sarah sighed and headed back to her own desk. It was said that most people find their partners at work and Sarah scoffed at this. The man she liked was gay and already in a relationship and had a son. Everything she wanted. She told herself it wouldn't have worked out, that John was too different from her.

Satisfied that she now believed it, she could move on and find someone else. But she would always hold a special place for John in her heart and cure Sherlock for finding him first.

Hope you enjoyed and please review! Happy reading
