Mrs Sweeney Todd

A/N: I just want to start of by saying a big thank you to those who have read and commented on this story, your support means a lot to me and I've enjoyed writing this every minute. However this is the very last chapter of this book as I think it deserves to come to a happy end. I hope you enjoy❤️

3 days had now passed since Sweeney found out about his daughters pregnancy. Him and Johanna had still not spoken nor had he with Anthony either after beating him black and blue. He knew Johanna was ashamed of his violent actions towards Anthony and for that Sweeney gave her the space she needed. Although the news of the baby was one that had made him angry, Mrs Lovett had helped him understand Johanna's feelings through all this.

She was young girl, a young girl with so much love to give. She would be the perfect mother and Sweeney knew that, he just hated the fact it was so soon...

Standing at the alter waiting nervously for his bride to walk down the isle Sweeney looked ahead at the old priest who gave him a supportive smile.

It was there wedding day, it had been a rush but that didn't matter because the pair of them were just desperate to get hitched finally. Johanna, Anthony and Toby sat in one of the pews supporting the marriage despite any of the drama that had happened a few days ago.

As the organ began to suddenly play Sweeney gulped taking a moment to breathe before looking over his shoulder to see Eleanore all in white. She was breathtaking, a true beauty elegantly making her way down the isle on her own grasping a bunch of lilies in her hand. A long vail covered her face and her train brushed along the church's cobbled floor as she made her way slowly up to the alter. On approach she smiled happily at Sweeney and stood beside him to which he took her hand and squeezed it lovingly.

Johanna sat watching having mixed feelings. She was so happy for them, so happy for Eleanore however she still couldn't believe how her father attacked Anthony. Even now his bruises were still very severe, his lip swollen and a few cuts littering his poor face, it broke her heat to see him in that much pain, her father nearly beat him to death for goodness sake!

Yet at this moment watching the pair of them get married Johanna had to admit she was genuinely there to support them despite what had happened. They were in love anyone could see it and for that she felt happy that they had each other...

"And with the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife...you may kiss the bride" the priest announced to which Toby began to weakly clap while their lips locked in a sweet kiss.

The dark skies of London city loomed over the bakers shop like a depressing shadow you can't seem to shake off. The evening was just beginning as Sweeney Todd calved into the the roast pork surrounded by his family at a table situated in the middle of the pie shop. Today had been one of celebration, one of happiness and one of understanding for the barber.

Soon after getting being wed the pair of them had a long chat about the future for them and for Johanna and Anthony. After all they had to except the fact Johanna was going to keep the child despite it being damming to her name and reputation.

With her elbow propped up on the table Eleanore had her chin resting on her palm grinning like a love struck teenager watching her husband serve up the meat onto their plates. Oh how she loved him...

Johanna however was quite and had her head down trying to get through the meal without bursting into tears.Sweeney noticed this about his daughter. It broke his heart to see the pain he'd caused and for that now he felt it a better time then any to make his and Eleanore's announcement.

"I'd like us all to raise a glass" he smiled lifting his glass of red wine making his wife smirk at him. He continued to stand making sure he had everyone's undivided attention. Speeches weren't something that came naturally, but he needed to get what he had to say off his chest.
