Hey, thanks for commenting on my meta. There's one thing that keeps bugging me: why do you think Mary's not pregnant/there's no sign of a baby in TAB?

I have no idea. It’s all Sherlock’s MP so wish fulfillment? He doesnt’ want to deal with the baby? Or he subconsciously deduces it isn’t real?  I’ve always had a big problem with the “fake belly/no baby” theory. John’s a doctor, so I can’t see why Mary would ever think she’d get away with that. So it’s probably more like wish fulfillment or denial on Sherlock’s part.
