Mary remembered going to the gynecologist, sitting back in the chair with her shirt tucked up. She remembered the cold gel and the press of the scanner against her stomach. She remembered gripping Johns hand so tightly as they both stared at the screen.
It hadn't been much to see, despite the doctor outlining everything on the screen, she said that there was a head, a foot, a hand. Neither of them wanted to know the sex of the baby, they wanted it to be a surprise at the delivery.
She remembered that she didn't tear up at the sight, even with the doctor she still couldn't see what made the baby her baby, but she did freeze when they turned on the machine to hear the heartbeat.
The room had been filled with the rapid heartbeat of their baby, the doctor had assured them that it was normal to be so fast. When she heard that precious, precious sound she did tear up, turning her head to bury it in Johns neck as he held her.
They did get a print out of the picture, that still didn't help her to actually see the baby that was supposedly hidden there, but she did put it on the refrigerator and when she was alone at home she would just stare at it, the symbol of her normal life and the new life that she had created and was carrying inside of her.
Coming to Planned Parenthood was...an experience to say the least. First off, there were people protesting outside of it which surprised her. Then they started to chant things at her that made her want to run them over with her car.
She was really tempted to do that one once they were insulting her and calling her a whore. She thought about it for a moment before she reached into her glove compartment and took a gun, coming outside and shooting it into the air.
That shut them up and they stared at her with quite a bit of fear in their faces. She put the gun back into her car and parked it in the back, enjoying the silence as she walked in.
She had thought that the future would be a bit more pro-choice than pro-life but it seems some people were still trying to drag them back. She ignored the whispers as she walked in.
There was a security guard there that insisted on frisking her which she agreed to easily, she had left everything else in the car either way. They had apologized but she told them that there wasn't anything to apologize for.
She signed in, filled out forms, and waited to be called. She had to do some quick mental math in her head to figure out how to white lie about Sam and Dean. She kept their ages and made them six years old and two years old respectively, it made a bit more sense to how her body was at this point anyway.
Once they called her she went through a routine exam. They asked her questions about her health, about her period, and when the last time she had sex. She answered honestly and then, because it twisted her heart at the thought of John she said that he was killed in a car accident.
She was also asked if she wanted to have an ultrasound to see the child.
Afterwards she had laid back on the chair and brought her shirt up to show her still flat stomach. The cold gel was familiar and then the press of the machine against her skin.
At twoish months there wasn't much to see yet, just for the doctor to make sure that things were progressing as needed. But then she flipped a switch and the familiar sound of the heart beating filled the room. Mary closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her fingers flexing at the phantom sensation of feeling Johns hand in hers.
She turned her head slightly to the side, remembering how he had stood just to her left, pressed up as close as he could and she reached to grip at the side of the chair instead.
"And there's your baby." the doctor said softly, glancing at her and then looking away to give her a moment of privacy.
Mary nodded, her other hand going to her ring she kept on a chain and gripped it tightly. She leaned back in the chair and stared up at the ceiling as she listened to the heart beating, filling the room just like it had before.
"So ma'am, what do you want to do?"
