A token of his promise to her.

Several months later Mary discovered she was pregnant with John's baby but believing John to be dead, she was manipulated by the witches into sacrificing her unborn child to Satan becoming a witch herself (The Vow). Some years later she married George Sibley after she watched the witches secretly poison his first wife that took her life and within two years of their marriage she placed her husband under a spell wanting revenge on the man that cost her everyone she loved (The Red Rose and the Briar) and leaving her in control of Salem.
