Who: Mary Crawley Crane and Open
What: Morning sickness requires supplies
Where: Pharmacy
When: Monday, May 8, morning
Warnings: None
Mary was approximately six weeks pregnant and morning sickness was hitting her in full force. Sometimes she felt so nauseated that she could hardly stand, which wasn't very conducive to working. Sunday had been hell. Fortunately, the tea shop was closed on Monday so she had a day to recover. At first all she wanted to do was lie in bed, but she knew that she had to get up and get some supplies. She was hardly eating and she needed something that she could keep down.
Dealing with Walmart just wasn't happening for her, so Mary ended up at the local pharmacy where she could buy both anti-nausea pills and food. After putting some crackers and Gatorade in her basket, Mary traveled to the meds section.
"Why are there so many?" she said aloud. Really, there were so many anti-nausea selections, how was she supposed to choose? People in this era did not realize the abundance of things that they had. In her time, there would have been one pill option, if that.
Mary hadn't publicly announced her pregnancy yet, deciding to wait until she was a bit further along before sharing it with anyone other than Ichabod. Part of her was paranoid that this still wasn't really happening, that her happiness would be snatched away or God forbid she would lose the baby. Better to remain quiet for a few more weeks.
