Chapter 27

Nellie Lovett’s stomach filled with butterflies as Sweeney Todd kissed her neck roughly. She still had not yet decided if Sweeney was happy that he was going to be a father once again, but at the moment, when he roughly licked down her chest, it didn’t matter. What mattered was the fact that she finally had the man of her dreams all to herself, loving her, wanting her, kissing her…

It was at about that moment where Mrs. Lovett realized that she had been staring at the air for quite some time. She also realized that Sweeney was no longer kissing her, licking her, or anything of the sort. She turned her head towards his handsome face and his eyebrows were curled upwards with straights of confusion.

Nellie couldn’t do anything but chuckle at her stupidity. She took her small hand and touched his cheek. It was cold like it had always had been, but a hint of warmth crawled beneath them. She sighed quietly to herself taken in his beautiful features.

Sweeney Todd was no fool to avoid her reluctant position so he asked a bit too roughly “What is it”? He pulled the straps of Nellie’s dress up as she continued to stare at his hard pale features. After a few seconds she managed to say, even if in a whisper, “I’m glad yer back Mr. T”.

He bit his bottom lip carefully and reached for her hands gently. He then whispered with a slight tease in his voice “You just noticed now”? She giggled softly for a small while and then the giggling stopped when Sweeney hushed her by putting a cold finger to her lips. He then said dryly “Stop giggling, pet”.

Mrs. Lovett’s child like giggling eventually stopped and Sweeney Todd took her warm fingers and his own hand and placed them over her stomach. She gasped slightly at the gesture as he asked “Boy or girl”? Nellie lifted her shoulders to show that she had no idea and Sweeney took his hand off her stomach by lifting it up Nellie’s body.

He then stopped at her neck and wrapped his hand around it as if he was going to choke her. Suddenly, Nellie Lovett’s eyes widened with shock, but then they softened as Sweeney left out a small smile following a roguish smirk. He left his hand linger around her neck for a moment before his small smile turned to a frown. His black eyes turned weak as he asked “Did I used to hurt you…. when I did this”?

Nellie Lovett looked down at the hand around her neck and she shrugged and replied honestly “I never did mind it, Mr. T”. Then she tried to wiggle out of his constraint but he managed to tighten his grasp a little more before saying more coldly “You never answered my question, Mrs. Lovett”.

Nellie sighed for a second and then replied once again, just as honestly “’Course it hurt, Mr. T. But as I said, I never minded, not at all, actually….” She paused for a second, blushed and then continued “…I liked it, ‘cuz, well, ye know… it was the only time when ye did give me the time of day…. when ye pushed me ‘round a little”.

Sweeney’s eyes widened and Nellie noticed so she got out of his grasp and stood up on her two feet. She paced around the bathroom stall as she spoke “Not that I didn’t appreciate when ye did talk to me, its just that when ye threatened me, I felt kind of…. closer to ye”.

Sweeney Todd got up and said loudly “You are the stupidest woman I have ever met”! Nellie Lovett turned around to face him and she said back “Mr. T! That’s the second time ye’ve said that today”! Sweeney chuckled darkly and replied harshly “I meant it, Mrs. Lovett! You truly are impractical! You have no common sense woman! What gave you the masochistic idea that it was good for me to hurt you”?

Mrs. Lovett crossed her arms across her chest and shouted, “I don’t know, Mr. T! I loved ye too much, that’s all”! Sweeney Todd’s anger froze for a second as he examined the situation. He was getting angry with her in a bathroom stall because he had strangled her. All of a sudden, Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street did something he did not do a lot. He laughed.

Nellie stared at him in disbelief as he wrapped an arm of his around her shoulder and whispered into her ear while laughing, “Let’s go, pet. I believe we’ve abused our bathroom privileges enough for one day”. And he opened the newly broken door and guided her out of the stall.

Mrs. Lovett looked at the barber with fascination, he was still laughing. She took his hand in hers and asked a bit frightened “What’s so funny, Mr. T”? He bit his lip to stop his laughing and he looked around the bathroom and answered this time more seriously “I have no idea how I ended up here, Mrs. Lovett”.

Nellie shrugged and said as Sweeney started to unlock the door “Oh, nonsense, Mr. T! How can ye change moods so quickly”? Mr. Todd unlocked the door, holding it closed he grabbed Mrs. Lovett’s head and kissed her lips smoothly. Nellie had been surprised but she was not objecting to his lips being on hers. Once he let go her he whispered seriously “I didn’t mean to cause you harm, my love”.

Mrs. Lovett melted slowly when he called her his, love. She blushed as she regained her composure and he kissed her lips softly once more before opening the door. And when he opened it, there was no line for the rest room, it seemed that the women had given up and decided to find another rest room.

Moments later, Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett had finally made it back to the bench where Anthony, Johanna, and Toby were waiting. Johanna spoke calmly to Nellie “Are you alright? You don’t need anything? A pillow, mum? I could find you one”. Nellie kissed Johanna on the cheek and said warmly “No, darlin’. I don’t need anythin’.”

But Toby and Anthony noticed that something sounded very suspicious. Toby was the brave one to ask, “What is it, Mum? Is somethin’ wron'”? Mrs. Lovett turned to Johanna and she spoke “Anthony, I think Johanna has somethin’ to tell ye, and Toby, love, I have somethin’ to tell ye”.

Johanna pulled Anthony aside as Mrs. Lovett held Sweeney’s hand firmly and began “Toby, love. We have some very important news to tell ye…Mr. T, I mean, Sweeney…why don’t ye tell ‘im”? Sweeney Todd was about to open his mouth when all of a sudden a loud girlish scream was heard.

The three turned around in the direction it was coming from, looking for the girl in danger. But in reality it was actually Anthony who screamed. He was hugging Johanna tightly before he screamed towards Mrs. Lovett “Congratulations Mrs. Lovett! I hope it’s a girl! I’m hoping for a girl too”!

Mrs. Lovett smiled at Anthony and then turned around to Toby before Sweeney said, “That’s wonderful, then they’ll have a family with only girls”. Mrs. Lovett hit Sweeney playfully on his shoulder before saying, “Don’t call Anthony a girl, that’s not nice”. She giggled for a moment before saying, “They’ll have to get married now, but I don’t know if they allow same sex marriages”.

Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett then burst into laugher before Toby said impatiently “Mum! Ye had to tell me somethin’, remember”? Mrs. Lovett stopped laughing before she whispered, “Yes, yes. I remember, love. Well, yer goin’ to have a little sister, or brother in about 8 months. Isn’t that wonderful”?

Toby wrinkled his nose before asking “Yer pregnant? Is Henry the Father?” Mr. Todd shook his head and put his big hand on Toby’s small shoulder before saying “No, boy. I am”. Toby bit his lip and asked his Mum “Does that mean yer gettin’ married? (Pause) Oh, can I be in the ceremony? I’ve never been to a weddin’ before”!

Mrs. Lovett blushed and whispered to her son “Toby, hold on, love. We’re not gettin’ married…I mean, Mr. T and I haven’t even discussed that”. Toby’s big smile turned into a frown before he said with a pout “Well, discuss it now”. Sweeney stole a glance from Nellie as Anthony and Johanna made their way to where the three were standing.

Johanna asked happily “So, when are the two of you getting married?” Toby frowned and said bitterly “They were about to discuss that now”. Sweeney Todd gulped and said coldly “We don’t have to discuss anything now that we don’t want….” Anthony suddenly interrupted “You are going to marry her, Mr. Todd. It is the right thing to do”.

Sweeney Todd bit his lip angrily and said, “When have I ever done the right thing”? Nellie Lovett looked over at Sweeney Todd with a sad face. She lied “It’s okay, love. It doesn’t matter”. Sweeney nodded and kissed her cheek while addressing the group “Good, now, we have to get our tickets”.

Toby held onto the suitcase tightly and said, “I think we’ve missed the train, Mr. Todd”. Mrs. Lovett sighed and whispered into Sweeney’s neck “We ‘ave to get out of ‘ere, Mr. T”. Sweeney nodded and said roughly while leaving Nellie’s side “I’ll go deal with the tickets”.
