⚠️TW⚠️TALKS OF ABORTION

"Am I correct in hearing that you wish to cancel your appointment?" Asks the woman at the front desk. I nod "yes please" I reply

"What time was your appointment meant to be?" Asks the woman, her soft voice is so calming "4:30 PM" I reply, the woman nods and types some things into her computer "Meredith Grey?" Asks the woman, I nod "Yes, that's me" I reply, the woman nods and types again "your appointment is cancelled, Ms Grey, thank you for notifying us" says the woman, I smile "thank you" I reply.

I just cancelled my abortion

Why did I do that?

"Meredith are you sure?" Asks Cormac. Am I sure? I find myself nodding "I'm sure" I reply.

To him it doesn't seem to matter that we're in an abortion clinic or that there are people around us. He picks me up and kisses me.

"I love you" says Cormac. I kiss him back "I love you too" I reply. We then decide to walk out of the clinic. The protestors are still there so I guess this kind of makes Cormac look a bit like an idiot but his point still stands

"Regret your decision did you?" Asks the man Cormac argued with earlier "We decided we hadn't thought it through yet" I say "or maybe it was our influence" argues the man

"Honestly, pack it in, you aren't doing anyone any good and no one values your opinion at all, in fact I know that every woman to ever be harassed by you hates your bloody guts. What is the point in being here? To make women feel like shit? To make women change their mind and end up having horrible lives because they either have to look at a rapists child and be reminded of a traumatising event. Or because they can't afford to feed both themselves and their kids or because they didn't want kids and now they're stuck with them. Is your whole purpose seriously to ruin people's lives? Not all people are meant to be parents so just let them make their life decisions on their own because it really doesn't hurt you at the end of the day does it?" Says Cormac

"Our goal is to raise awareness on what abortion truly is and explain why we are pro life" replies a woman, Cormac rolls his eyes "What and you thought the best place to do that was outside an abortion clinic where you make women feel worse than they already do about the hard decision they had to make" says Cormac

"We don't make women feel worse" protests a woman "Of course you fucking do. I don't expect you'd be overly happy if someone called you a murderer. I doubt you'd have a wonderful day after someone called you a monster for a decision you knew would benefit you in the future. Why do you feel the need to protest outside of an abortion clinic? Protest somewhere else like a shopping centre or a town hall or some place else" replies Cormac

"Because our message won't be received by the right people" says a man, Cormac just laughs "No, you're just afraid that if you protest anywhere else more people like me will pick a fight with you and you don't want that because you know you don't have good enough arguments. I can see you getting frustrated arguing with me. No wonder you pick places to bully vulnerable people, you know they're unlikely to pick a fight with you" says Cormac "you disgust me" adds Cormac

I walk past them and put up my middle finger to them as they evidently have no dignity but they aren't my problem anymore because it looks like I'm having a baby

"It's so hot when you do that" I admit, he smiles "when I do what?" Asks Cormac "when you argue like that" I reply, he chuckles and kisses me. I kiss him back and can't help but realise how in love with his man I truly am

"How far along are you?" Asks Cormac "the test said i was about 4 weeks so we have about 8 weeks before I need a scan" I reply. I hope this baby manages to make it to 12 weeks after this
