Summary: Sherlock knows he's the odd man out—that a marriage is built for two, and there are limits, and what he shares with John and Mary is fantastic, but he's not labouring under any delusions: three's a bit of a crowd. He loves them, though, and this wretched holiday does give him a culturally-sanctioned guise through which to show it. John and Mary know that Sherlock's necessary: absolutely vital to their happiness, their marriage, their well-being, and to the family they're building, because three isn't a crowd, it's perfect. It's them. And they love him, and what better time than Valentine's to make it as official as they can?
