he can love [sweenett fanfic] DISCONTINUED

CHAPTER 12

Nellie was really tired during the past few weeks,she was now 5 month pregnant and had a visible but not too big baby belly.
Sweeney was working later than usual,to have more money for the child. They barely saw each other during the day,and it was quite painful for both of them.

Later that night,Sweeney closed his shop a little bit earlier,to spend more time with his pregnant baker.
But before he could went downstairs,he heard the bell door ring and assumed it could only be his bloody wonder Mrs Lovett.

"Sweeney?"

"Yeah?"

"I need a hug" Mrs Lovett said,causing Sweeney to smile and lean closer to wrap his arms around her and hug her tight. She quickly hugged back.

"Sweeney?"
"Huh?"
"I love you"
Sweeney smiled at those words,funny how 3 little words can be so pleasant.
"I love you too"

When their lips were about to touch,the door bell rings and two people came rushing in.
It was Anthony and a... boy? In a black suit that immediatly made Sweeney though about Lucy... But why? Lucy was a women,and women doesn't wear suits and costumes. (A/N: ,wroonngg)

"Mr Todd! I hope I'm not bothering you,but,this is Johanna" Anthony said,taking Johanna in his arms as she was trembling from their escape.

Sweeney frozed at her. Johanna? She was there! In front of him! His beautiful daughter was here,and not in the stupid Judge Turpin's mansion!
Johanna removed her hat,letting her curly golden hairs fall all on her back. God she looked so much like Lucy,yellow hair and that innocent face. Sweeney continued to stare at her until Nellie spoked. She obviously noticed Sweeney's stare and it was making Johanna uncomfortable.

"We finally get to meet you dear!" Nellie spoke,shaking Johanna's hand
"Anthony talked a lot about you! So how did you found the freedom? I mean,being locked in that horrible Judge's hou--" Nellie was interrupted by Anthony who said
"Mrs Lovett,I don't think it's the right time to talk about this" he said,with an akward smile.
"Yes dear 'm sorry,do you mind if I talk to Mr T alone for a couple of minutes?" Mrs Lovett sweetly said,looking at Johanna. She reminded her of Lucy,not that Nellie liked Lucy,but Johanna was way more beautiful! She was really a beautiful girl,she was looking smart and sweet,which instantly made Nellie think of who did she get that from? Certainly not from Lucy,she was awefull,and not from Sweeney,because Sweeney was never that happy or that innocent,he was cold and murderous. Johanna maybe had it from herself,or maybe... from Benjamin Barker...

"I don't mind at all,we'll be waiting down stairs" Anthony said,leaving the shop with Johanna and closing the door behind them.

"Mr T?"
"Hmm?"
"You didn't spoke the whole time"
This made Sweeney uncomfortable,he was just reunited with his daughter but she didn't even know who he was. It was a strange sensation,and for that,he couldn't speak.
"I know"

"Why didn't you?"

"She looks like her"

Nellie stayed silent. She perfectly know who he meant. And honestly it didn't made her happy. Sweeney had finally moved on from Lucy,and then here she was again!
Even if Johanna wasn't really looking that much like Lucy,Nellie knew that it was going to be hard.
"Listen dear,yes,she looks like Lucy,yes,she have a lot in common with her,but she's your daughter,and she deserve to know that you're her father! She needs one,imagine,poor thing lived with Turpin! She's probably traumatized! She just need love and care. She needs you Sweeney" Nellie looked at him the whole time. He took her left hand in his.
"Nell,who told you I didn't want to tell her?" Nellie didn't reply. He was right,she did a speach about something that they didn't talked about. They were talking about Lucy and Johanna's similarities and Nellie talked about his responsabilities...

"But I think you should tell her" Nellie said.
"I know"
"And in plus she's going to be a big sister"

Sweeney smiled at that. Yeah,he was going to be father again. And this time,he will watch his child grow up,he'll not be in prison. At least he hoped.
