Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 30

(Johanna's POV)

I sighed happily as I looked out my bedroom window. The sun was setting over the grey sky of london giving it a pretty orange glow. Knowing that the shop was going to open in a couple of hours, I decided to get dressed and make myself pretty. I decided on a black dress with little blue rhinestones. Brushing out my hair, I let my curls bounce down my back and pinned back my hair with my butterfly hair clip.

"I wonder who will show up tonight, Antony, or Edward"

I thought to myself as I looked myself over one last time in the mirror.

"Hi Sis, have you seen mum? I can't find her anywhere" I heard Toby say as he walked into my room.

"She's probably in the bake house silly, she has alot of pies to prepare for tonight.'

"I wonder why she never let's us go down there" said Toby with a straight face.

"Maybe she just doesn't want us to get burned by the oven. Now come on little brother. We still have the flyers to put up.'

With a smile toby walked with me down the stairs and towards the front door.

As we walked I could hear my little sister snoring in her room...And the sound of the bed squeaking from my mom's room.

I held back a giggle as I grabbed Toby's hand and hurried him out the door. The last thing a 12 year old needed to hear was two adults being intament with one another. But it made me happy to know that my parents were getting closer.

(Mrs. Lovetts POV)

After another hour of some amazing love making, both Mr.T and me layed there in my bed heavily breathing.

"Love..are you okay?' I asked, noticing Sweeney just staring off into space.

"Mmhmm" he replied as he got up to get dressed.

"...You regret doing this with me don't you?" I asked.

"I never said that, don't jump to conclusions pet' he said getting annoyed.

With a sigh I got up and began to look through my closet for a fancy dress.

I chose my black one with the sparkly trimmings on it.

"You'll look gourges tonight pet, dont work to hard" with that said Sweeney kissed my cheek and left my room.

"I'll never understand that man! That irritable, insensitive,...sad, beautiful man' I said to myself before I put on my dress and fixed my hair into my usual updo.

When I was ready I walked out into the kitchen and found Toby and Johanna wiping down the counters and cleaning the dishes.

"It looks wonderful in here my darlings, I'm sure both of you will provide excellent service to our customers."

"Ofcourse we will mum' said Toby giving me a hug.

"We'll do whatever we can to help' said Johanna with the beautiful smile of hers.

"Thank you loves, now I'm going down to the bake house to check on the pies. Toby you go outside in 20 minutes to welcome our guests. And you my dear Johanna go check on Pipa. I want each of you to take turns checking in on your baby sister understand?'

"Yes ma'am' said Toby and Johanna before doing as I told them.

I made sure each of them was out of sight before taking the dreadful long walk down the stairs into the bake house.

Opening the heavy oven door, I was greated by the scorching heat of the flames.

Very carefully I removed the try of pies.

Between the lovely steawberry pies that Johanna had prepared and the "specil ingredient" meat pies I prepared. The bakehouse had a strange bittersweet smell to it.

"Alright time to get to work' I said with a smile before walking up those dreadful stairs once again.
