(Mrs.Lovett's POV)

"Mum, what's going on?' Toby asked with concern.

"I'll explain it to you later love. Keep on eye on your sister for me will you?" I said doing my best not be dismissive towards my son.

"Yes Mum" Toby said with a sigh before going with Pipa into her room.

"What are we going to do?" I asked turning back to Sweeney.

"We go back to my original plan, We lure the Judge here while the children stay in another location until it's safe" He said looking at me as if he was expecting me to argue again.

"And just where are we going to go?!" Johanna snapped.

"That I haven't figured out yet" Sweeney said clearly doing his best to ignore her additude.

I sighed, "I...may know a place not far from here."
Hearing that made both of them look at me.
"Where?" Sweeney asked.
"As much as you may not like this love, I remember Edward saying that he was staying on his own in London. He seems to be the only one we can trust, and I know he would keep the children out of harm's way."

Sweeney glared at me but he somehow knew that I was right.

As for Johanna, she looked at me as if I had just answered her prayers. She truly did love this boy wether she had her father's approval or not.

"....Do you know exactly where he lives?"Sweeney asked putting a hand over his fast in frustration.

"Yes, and actually it's not to far from here" I said crossing my arms.

"....Johanna, go help Toby and Pipa pack."
Without another word, Johanna got up and did as she was told, and although her back was to me, I could tell she was smiling. And very satisfied with the outcome of this ugly situation.

"...Just know that if that boy trys anything with my daughter, I'm holding you responsible" Sweeney said in his usual cold cruel voice.

"I doubt they'll do anything out of wedlock love. Try to have more damn faith in people."

I said before getting up and going back to my room.
I sighed as a sat at my vanity and cried into my hands.
Although I knew my kids would be safe, I couldn't stand the thought of them going away.
......Even if it was for one night.....I couldn't help but worry about the outcome of this night where blood would be shed.
