Even before Ted grew fond of Sherlock himself, Ted knew that the two of them are a package deal, and splitting them up would cause them both a great deal of pain. And he doesn't see why he would ever want to. Sherlock's become a close and trusted friend, as well as an ally when it comes to giving Joan all the love and protection and entertainment and anything else she deserves.
Ted just sits there, gently comforting her for as long as she needs. In a way it's comforting him too. Fighting with Joan had upset him - at some point not just because of what she did, but he'd become upset at the very fact they were fighting. Not at least he has a reason to put all that out of his mind, and just focus on the love and support.
