Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 17

(Sweeney's POV)

Every ounce of me wanted to pull away or just simply push her off of me. But somehow I couldn't bring myself to do it. Her lips were so soft, so sweet, and as much as I hated to admit it..she was a good kisser.

Giving in, I closed my eyes and began kissing her back.

I nearly lost myself as she ran her fingers through my tangley black hair. And traced my bottom lip with her tounge.

We could've gone on like that longer, but an adorable babbling noise made our makeout session come to a stop.

We both pulled away and smiled down at the adorable little girl in my lap.

"Sorry Love, we didn't mean to forget about you" Said Mrs. Lovett as she took Pipa into her arms.

But as she did, Pipa stretched out her little arms towards me.

"Aww she really likes you love.'

I shrugged and took the adorable baby girl back into my arms.

"I like her too, she reminds me so much of Johanna when she was this little.'

"I'm happy your here with us Love, I hope one day this little family will get closer.'

With that said Mrs. Lovett took pipa to her room to put her down for the night.

"Family huh?...are you man enough to carry this so called family Benjamin?" said that damn nagging voice.

I just groaned and went back to my shop for the night.

But something deep down inside me was telling me that something big was going to happen tommrow.

(Johanna's POV)

When I finally woke up, I felt so much better.

Changing out of my nightgown, I put on a simple white dress. Brushed out my tangley yellow hair. And made my way down the stairs and into Mrs. Lovetts Pie shop.

However when I got there I was surprised to see a young boy sitting at one of the tables scarfing down one of the meat pies.

Mrs. Lovett was leaning against the counter feeding Pipa a bottle.

But one she noticed me she gasped in suprise and rushed over to my side.

"Oh love, thank goodness your okay. How are you feeling?' She asked before giving me a hug.

I smiled up at her and kissed Pipa on her little cheek.

"I'm feeling alot better, but I didn't realize how late I had slept In. We have guests and I should be helping you serve them.'

"Oh nonsense love, it's just one customer. He's a very nice lad."

I looked over at the boy and gave him a small wave.

He gave me a shy smile, and I began to look him over. He was short, pale, dressed in dirty grey clothes. He also had short brown hair and bloody bandaged hands.

"Lad this is Johanna, Love this is Toby. He's the little boy we saw at the market' Mrs. Lovett explained.

"Oooh, you were the little boy selling that hair growth serum.'

"Yes ma'am' he said before taking more bites of his pie.

"Well it's good to see you again, Mrs. Lovety where's Dad?' I asked.

"In his shop Lass, he's discussing business with Toby's guardian.'

"Well I'm going up to see him."

"Okay Love, but be quick."

I nodded and ran up the stairs to my Father's shop.

But as I tried to open the door, I looked through the glass and saw that my father had a worried and scared look on his face...
