Mary didn't speak for a few moments.
"When you say, how did this happen..." she finally said hesitantly. "Do you mean...the how it happened or How It Happened?"
"Spare us the details of your sex life." Deanna said, sitting on her other side and patting her arm. "Just tell us about how the...other parts of the relationship happened."
Mary sighed and looked at John. He smiled at her and squeezed her hand, moving Dean so that he could curl up to her side once more in his mostly asleep state.
"It started...with sex." Mary said simply, shrugging as best as she could. "That's exactly how it started. Just...that."
Samuel took a deep breath, eyes closed as he tried to steady himself. "And you weren't using...protection?" he said, the words almost being choked out of him.
"Yes dad, we were using protection." Mary said, her cheeks reddened over. "We're not stupid, we knew what to do."
"This wasn't something that...just happened." John said quietly. "Before Dean we were together for a few years. We started…having relations when we were sixteen."
"Who made the first move?" Samuel demanded, opening his eyes and glaring at him, his gaze softening when he looked at Mary. "Who moved first?"
Mary and John looked at one another and spoke in unison, "I did."
Mary breathed out slowly. "John stop that, I made the first move."
"You like to think that you made the first move but I did." John told her. "It's me, I made the first move."
"I'm pretty sure me yanking you down by your tie to kiss you counts as the first move." Mary shot at him.
"And I'm sure that running down the hallway to find a closet we can use counts as the first move too." John countered.
"I pulled you into the closet!" Mary exclaimed, barely remembering to keep her voice down for Dean.
"I pulled the condom out of my wallet." John retorted.
"I'm the one that said-" Mary cut herself off when she remembered that their parents were all in the room. She peeked at them, biting her lower lip when she saw how green their dads were and how their moms were hiding laughter.
"Young love." Deanna said with a smile. "Brings back so many memories."
Mary sighed and leaned back into the bed, smiling herself despite it. "Okay, no matter who started it. We continued it. For a long time. And things just..."
"Just happened." John finished for her. "We never thought we'd be together in anyway, at least other than...sex. But it kinda just...brought down the line and we got closer and..."
"All of a sudden it was a lot more than just sex." Mary continued quietly. "And then...I got pregnant with Dean."
"Did you ever think about marrying my daughter?" Samuel asked lowly.
"Of course I did, I even said I'd leave the Men of Letters to help her and the baby." John shot back, ignoring how his father gave a noise of protest at that. "Mary was the one that said no."
"We never intended it for things to go this far." Mary said, shifting in the bed. "Especially not when it came to kids, and two of them. But it happened, and we're dealing with it."
"We want to be together, known by both sides." John told them. "I'm done hiding this and so is Mary, for our sakes, for Deans and the baby's sakes, we deserve the right to be a real family and no longer having to be worried about what our sides are going to do about it."
"The main problem is whether or not the council will allow this." Henry said quietly. "Having Dean and the other child is a push in the acceptance but...the older generation truly does not like hunters."
"They can't keep us apart, I'll leave if they try to." John said firmly. Mary was shaking slightly but held onto his hand tightly.
Henry rubbed his face with his hand, taking a deep breath. "Samuel just wanted the right for you two to date, I thought that that would be hard enough to convince them but this...this is even bigger." he said reluctantly. "And as much as I hate to admit it, they're more like our British counterparts than we admit them to be."
"What do you mean?" Deanna asked.
"I mean that they are not above using spellwork and anything else at their disposal to get what they want." Henry said. "Including brainwashing."
"It's been done in the past when a certain person has no desire to complete the initiation and want out." Millie said, shaking her head. "And after a meeting with the council they always come out miraculously having changed their minds and a completely different person than when they went in."
"So you think that it's a possibility that they would do that to John?" Samuel asked.
"Not just John but everyone in this room, including the children." Henry said nodding at Dean. "I would not put it past them to use their spells on him to make him completely forget about Mary and everyone else other than John."
Mary moved Dean closer to her, the shaking intensifying. "They can't do that." she said lowly. "They come near my son I'll kill them all." she said, about to say more when a sharp pain went through her and she flinched.
All the attention was on her then, trying to calm her down. "Nothings going to happen to Dean, no one is going to let anything happen." Deanna assured her. "Its okay Mary, it's all okay."
Mary whimpered, curled up slightly as she pressed her legs together. No stress, she wasn't supposed to be stressing about anything. The baby couldn't handle it.
But how the hell was she supposed to not be stressed about this?
