Is that...my..c-child?" he asked.

I sighed and put a hand to his shoulder.

"Come now love, it's been years.' I said hopeing I didn't sound crule.

Rushing to my daughters bedroom, I walked in and held her in my arms.

"Shhh there there love, mommy's right here" I said bouncing her and kissing her little forhead.

I was so busy caring for her I didn't really notice my guest standing in the doorway.

"She must have woken up when you yelled love.'

He nodded and slowly approached us.

I was worried that my little girl would start crying again. But to my suprise she flashed him her beautiful smile. Even without teeth, that smile could brighten anyone's day.

"Come on love lets bring her back with us into the living room."

"She's so..precious, what's her name?' He asked.

"Candelaria, Nell Lovett. But for short I call her Pipa."

He gave me a strange look, but that's to be expected, she dose have a very unique name and nickname.

"...He's got your daughter love' I said in a sad voice.

"He?...Judge Turpin?' he asked in a low and dangerous voice.

I nodded, "Adopted her, like his own" I said holding onto Pipa close.

"15 years, sweating in a living hell on a false charge..15 Years dreaming I might comecome home to a wife and child" he said before taking off his jacket and throwing it.

"Well I can't say the years have been particularly kind to you Mr. Barker."

"No! Not Barker, that man is dead' he said Turing around to face me.

"It's Todd now, Sweeney Todd. And he will have his revenge."
