I expect there will be quite a few mistakes in here as usual. I'm going to be crazy busy with exams for the next week or so I'm not sure how many updates I'll be able to get to this week! Anyways, please let me know what you think:)
The doctor told Mary and Matthew that they would have to return for another appointment to hear the results of the blood test. They made an appointment for the following day to hear them and then they would make their decision.
While they sat in the waiting room Mary was fidgeting and unable to sit still. Even though she was already quite sure she was pregnant she was nervous to hear the results. Up until now she could have pretended as if the problem did not exist, but after the results are told there was no more ignoring it or making it little.
Matthew joined Mary at the appointment and if he was nervous to hear the results he sure did not show it. He had been nothing, but supportive since first finding out that Mary was probably pregnant.
The doctor invited them into his office and all three sat down to hear the results.
"So Miss. Levinson I have the results of the test that you requested and the test was positive, you are most definitely pregnant."
"Oh."
"Am I to assume that this is not exactly a planned pregnancy?"
"No not at all." She looked over at Matthew trying to gage was he was thinking.
"Now have you considered your options because you do have some..."
"Yes, I know what my options are and I am keeping the baby. I am not giving the child away..."
"Oh Mary, that makes me so happy! I didn't want to pressure you, but I am so glad you to decided to raise our child." He quickly pressed a kiss on her cheek to emphasize his enthusiasm. She smiled back in return, thankful that he still seemed to want to be in the picture.
Even though the decision to raise the child had been made, it still left a lot of things unanswered. How were they going to raise this baby together? Under what circumstances exactly did Matthew want to be involved?
The doctor told Mary what vitamins she would have to start taking to keep her and the baby healthy as well as some of the things that she would begin to see happen due to the pregnancy.
Since The decision was made to raise the child it meant that there was no longer a point in hiding it. It would be best to get everything straightened out as soon as possible. This mean that Mary would have to return to Downton to tell her parents. She knew her parents would be very angry and disappointed in her, but she also did not think they would leave her alone in this, at least financially.
Matthew decided that he would tell his mother after Mary told her parents as she was unlikely to react worse that Mary's parents would. This was not the way Matthew had expected to meet parents. She had already told him so many stories of how they treated Mary and still expected Mary to marry into an aristocratic family. Matthew was obviously not aristocratic and he would be meeting her parents as the father of their daughter's child. It was not expected that they would like Matthew even under the best circumstances.
They decided to head up to Downton on the Friday and took a train there. As they arrived at Downton they were greeted by Mary's whole family and a long line of staff. This was going to be a very long and difficult weekend, they were sure of it.
