This is one of my first 7th Heaven fanfics. I hope that it is good. First off, I suppose I should tell you that I am a big supporter of the Mary/Wilson pairing. I just thought that things were better then. Anyway, on to the story details. This is set starting with when Mary and Corey were set to receive that award, but the administration would not give it to Corey because of her daughter. Well, Mary calls the only person she knows to call for help. It goes on from there. Who knows, things might go well, and this could go on. So, read, enjoy, and review.
Mary sits on the bed with her telephone in hand. She is shaking, partly in anger, but mostly in anxiety. She was so afraid he would not help. Maybe not even talk to her. She silently prayed that the latter was not true. Finally, she dialed the number. Although she knew the telephone number as well as her own, it seemed to take forever.
The telephone was ringing. A rush of adrenaline swept through her and even more when it was answered. It's him, she thought.
" West residence, this is Wilson speaking."
" Hi." She managed only to croak that out in a squeak.
" Mary, hi, how are you? I, uh, just came in today. So, what's going on, maybe I should give you a chance to answer."
" I'm good, really, but I need your help." She told him the story. He listened, and finally he took a deep breath.
" What is it you need me to do?"
" Can you and Billy come to the ceremony? If Corey is going to get persecuted for her family, then so am I." The words were out of her mouth before she had a chance to think about them.
" Mary, is that what you consider Billy? Your son?" Mary couldn't tell if was angry or not, so she decided to edge the subject.
" Well, I know that we're not together and I..."
" I know that he loves you like a mother, I just don't want to ruin your reputation. I mean, things have to be hard enough as it is."
" Is that a yes?"
" Absolutely. When?" She gave him all of the instructions.
" I guess I will see you then. Bye Wilson, tell Billy goodnight for me, and that I love him and missed him."
" Sweet dreams, Mare. Oh, Mary? I missed you, too." The phone line cut out and Mary laid down on the bed, tears down her cheeks. Only, for the first time since Wilson had left her, she was going to cry herself to sleep with happy tears.
The days passed and soon Mary was sitting in the lobby of her school, preparing her speech. She had not told anyone of her plan, other than Wilson. He was going to meet her there, and sure enough, he was there.
" Mary." He breathed and wrapped her into a tight hug, his voice cracking. " I missed you, so much."
" I missed you, too. Wilson, I..." She was suddenly aware of how close they were, and the fact that they both were crying. Wilson kissed her on the forehead, leaving Mary slightly disappointed. It was only when he finally brought his lips to meet hers that she felt the only emotion she knew how to feel at these times. She knew she loved him, and part of her knew the same was true for him. She also knew, though, that she could not tell him that right now. They were broken apart minutes later by someone clearing their throat. Mary looked and found, to her complete embarrassment, her principal standing there.
" Mary, I believe we are ready for the guest of honor. Could you?"
" Yes, um, Wilson, you and Billy can wait for me in the aisle. I want you up there with me if that is okay."
" Yeah, break a leg." Mary walked off with the principal.
" Wow, Mary, your boyfriend seems very supportive."
" Oh, he's...Yeah, he always has been."
After Mary has spoken, she begins to explain her declination of the award. Wilson joined her onstage, with Billy holding his hand. Corey came onstage as well, carrying her daughter.
" So, you can persecute Corey for having a family. For loving her daughter, but, if you do, you are persecuting every person who was blessed with the gift of family."
Mary's family rose to their feet, applauding enthusiastically. Her principal rose to her feet as well, receiving bewildered looks from the other members of the administration. The audience erupted in a burst of applause and cheers. Corey burst into tears with Mary, and the two friends hugged each other. Wilson put one hand on Mary's shoulder and she leaned onto his chest holding Billy's tiny hand.
" I'm so proud of you, Mare."
" Yeah, Mary." Billy's small voice sounded off into her ears.
