Ch 28 Sweeny's POV

"Where are they" i say looking out the pie shop window johanna and anthony are coming at some point today but they never said when.

"They'll be her love" nellie say calmly she drags me from the window to the booth and hands me a glass of gin. It's only two in the after noone. Just as she said this i see a carriage pull up in front of the shop. I see Anthony walk around the side and open the door and out comes a beautiful young women with long golden hair and light brown eyes. I can only presume this is Johanna. My sweet little angel i haven't seen her since she was a baby.or since the night i killed Turpon but i didn't know it was her.

"Hello mr. Todd" says anthony walking into the shop. And shaking my hand nellie stays beck behind the counter.

"Anthony" i say smiling at him. Trying my best to be polite.

"Mrs. Lovett" he says smiling at nellie who

"Hello dear nice to see you. and " she trails off wanting him to introduce Johanna.who is standing behind him.

"This is johanna" he says putting an arm around her.

"Hellow mam" Johanna says softly smiling a little bit. I am stunned at how much she looks like lucy. The eyes the hair. Even her voice.

" call me nellie love" she she says smiling sweetly at johanna.

"And this is my friend Mr. todd" anthony states smiling. johanna 's eyes widen when she sees me but only slightly.

"Now weve got the back room all set up if you want to bring your things" nellie says braking the uncomfterbull silence.me and Anthony grab the bags and put them in the spare room.

"Thank you for this Mr. Todd" Anthony says once they're all settled in. johanna stays in the kitchen with nellie. And from the sound of it nellie does all the talking. Johanna is very quiet. And almost shy.

"Nell i'm going up to the shop for a bit" i say walking into the kitchen i can't stand to be down here another minute the ghost of my past always seem to haunt me.

"Alright dear" she says nodding i walk upstairs closing the door behind me. How do i go about telling her. She seems scared of me. I sit in my chair and let out a shaky breath.and i close my eyes.

"Mr. Todd" a small voice says knocking on my door. I look and see Johanna standing on the other end.

"Hello johanna" i say politely opening the door to let her in slowly she walks in and she stands there for a minute before she says anything. She definitely is my daughter enjoying the silence.

"I... i trust you know why i'm here" she says trying to be calm . but here blue eyes show all the emotion she's feeling.

"I'm so sorry you had to see what happens. I never ment" i say deciding to get it all out when she cuts me off

"Thank you " she says and the room is filled with silence

"What" i say did i hear her right did she just thank me for killing someone in front of her. Then trying to kill her.

"Thank you for killing the judge" she replies facing me. She doesn't seem scared just calm.

"I'm sorry you had to see it and i'm sorry i almost." i trail off looking at the floor ashamed of myself.

"I never told anyone." she says quietly moving a piece of golden hair out of her face.

"Thank you for that." i say not knowing what else to stay we stand there for a bit not knowing what to do. I wonder if this is the right time to tell her.

"Why'd you kill him" she asks looking around the dark room the demon char only mere feet away from her.

"Why don't you have a sit" i say pointing to the trunk i don't want her anywhere near the chair.

"What did turpon tell you about your family" i ask i figure that's as good of a place as any to start.

"Only that my father was a criminal and my mother abandoned me" she says sadly the poor child she never knew how much she was loved. My blood starts to boil at the thought of johanna thinking her father was a criminal.

"There you are johanna my love it's getting rather late" anthony says interrupting my conversation with johanna. She nods and anthony whisks her off without another word. I was so close to telling her.

"You alright Mr. T" nellie says walking into the shop she's obviously worried about me.

"I almost told her, the anthony interrupted me" i say sitting down putting my head in my hands.

"It's alright love you'll tell her" she says comforting me. We walk downstairs and off to bed. When am i going to tell her.
