Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 21

(Mrs. Lovett's POV)

God his lips felt amazing. I blushed as I thought of different places on my body that his lips could be placed.

However my steamy fantasy was interrupted when Mr. Todd pulled away from me.

"Darling? What is it?" I asked in a somewhat hurt voice.

He looked out the window with a glare and before I knew it he was running out the door.

I quickly ran after him and was amazed at how fast he was going down the stairs.

"Mr. T! Mr.T what's going on?!" I cried out before grabbing ahold of his arms.

"My daughter is inside of your shop alone with that friend of hers! Lord only knows what his intentions are with her!' he snapped.

I looked at him in complete shock, "Love how could you think such a thing? Johanna is a good girl she wouldn't just lay down with a man she just met."

But he just ignored me and stormed into the shop with me close behind.

(Sweeney's POV)

Pushing past Mrs. Lovett I looked around the shop and found it..empty!.."Oh dear lord..SHE WOULDN'T TAKE HIM UP TO HER ROOM WOULD SHE?!" I thought to myself.

Quickly running towards the stairs to her room I was prepared to rush in there and pull that boy off of my daughter and slit another throat today.

But I nearly sighed in relief when I heard the my daughters beautiful singing voice coming from the living room.

When I entered the room, I found Johanna covering Toby with a blanket on the couch and singing her finch and black bird song to him. And Edward was standing next to her rocking Pipa in his arms.

"See love you were worried about nothing' Mrs.Lovett whispered to me.

I just rolled my eyes and continued to listen to my daughters singing.

When she was done, she gasped once she saw me and Mrs. Lovett standing there.

"Come with me, both of you' I whispered in a stern voice.

(Johanna's POV)
"Sleep tight little guy' I whispered to Toby before fallowing everyone back to the front of the pie shop.

"Would both of you like to explain to me why you were alone together?!" My dad said glaring mostly at Edward.

I sighed, "Father don't blame him it was all my idea. When I saw that Edward had come to see us I got excited because you said when he came back that I could finally get my hair cut. So since you and Mum were inside of your shop I didnt want to disturb either one of you. So I thought maybe I'd bring him inside and he could style my hair in the bathroom."

"If that's the case love, how did you and Edward end up in the living room?' Mrs. Lovett asked.

"Well when we came inside, I found poor toby asleep and looking very sick at the table.And at the same time Pipa was crying in her room. So Edward and I wanted to take care of both of them. That's all that happend, nothing more.'

My dad just sighed and ran a hand through his tangley black hair.

Even though I could tell he was irritated, I didnt feel sorry for him. I was still angry at him and him thinking that I'd do anything with Edward,at this point was just making me angrier.

"Well thank you both for taking such good care of Pipa and Toby. We appreciate that very much' Said Mrs. Lovett taking Pipa out of Edwards arms and kissing her little cheek.

"Is Toby leaving any time soon? Should I wake him up? Or take him back home?" Edward asked.

"No need Lad, his master was..going to send the poor boy back to the work house. So Mr.T and I agreed to keep him here to help run the shop" Mrs. Lovett explained.

My face lit up once she said that, "..Kinda like a little brother" I said.

She just nodded and smiled back at me.

"So Edward, can we do my hair now?' I asked.

"I'll help, I'm curious to see how well the boy works' said Dad standing up.

I wanted to snap back at him and say "I trust Edward, we don't need you to babysit us.'

But Edward quickly spoke up before me and Agreed to work up in my fathers shop.

I was happy that I was finally going to get what I wanted.

But I was also worried...What if Edward looked in the trunk? What if he found the dead body of Perelli? What if my Dad had to kill him as well?

All those thoughts were going through my mind as we walked up the stairs to the barber shop.
