Title: How could you?

Summary: What if Mary kept a life changing event secret from Danny?

Author: Mikesh

AN: Ok this takes place four months after Danny and Mary called off the wedding. Yes from that point on it's going to be AU b/c for what I had to do I couldn't make Ed's daughter out to be the bad guy…I couldn't as much as I wanted to.

Part: 1

The first thing Mary noticed when she got up that morning was that something was off. And it wasn't just her balance either. Something was very off but what she couldn't say. It'd been bugging her since she'd gone to bed last night what exactly it could be. But as of yet she'd not figured it out. She just hoped that she'd figure it out because it was starting to drive her nuts.

Once Mary had dressed she then headed off to work before she was late. She of course wasn't wearing her dresses as snug as she used to now a days. Everyone knew why she didn't wear them as snug, except one that is. It'd seemed ever since she and Danny had broke up four months ago, he'd been throwing himself more and more into his work. Was it because he was really hurt about her turning him down? Or was it the fact that he had a new lady friend to keep happy? Mary really couldn't say but she could say that he'd changed since they'd split, but not in a good way. Ever since the split they barley talked let alone saw each other. Any time Danny did see Mary he'd turn and walk in the other direction then where he really was going. Or if they did happen to maybe talk Sarah the bitch…I mean Sarah would show up before anything could really be said. Could it really happen to be that he was really in fact nervous about the wedding coming up on Saturday to his girlfriend? Mary didn't for a second believe he was nervous about it, not as much as Sarah tried to say he was, that is. She knew he was probably nervous, but the way she talked it made Danny sound like he was going to have to be walked down the isle because he was going to be unable to do it himself.

Sarah, the bitch…I mean lady who'd stolen Danny's heart. Fine she was a bitch to anyone who got in her way. She'd even told Mary to stay the hell away from Danny because he was hers now; he no longer belonged to Mary and never would again. Mary however had not mentioned anything to anyone because she knew that it'd just cause problems between her and Danny, not that there was much to cause problems with anyhow. Since he wasn't speaking to her unless he absolutely had to. Yes Big Ed had tried to step in, but that'd done nothing but piss Danny off to no end. So he'd let it drop, even though he hadn't wanted to, but he did for the sake of Mary after he'd found out.

Her condition was known to a select few. They included: Big Ed, Sam, Mike, Delinda, and of course Mary herself. She'd sworn all to keep it to themselves. She didn't want Danny feeling pressured to come back to her just because of this. None of them felt it was right to do so, but they all respected her wishes because they were her friend after all. Her plan was to leave Vegas in two months and never be seen again. Or that was the plan, but as you all know plans don't always go according to plan. Mary was no exception to that.

Good? Bad? Please review and tell me.
