(Y/N)'s POV:

(Y/N) watched as Judge Turpin, the man she was forced to marry, slam the door closed. She stayed silent, not wanting to get hit again for speaking to him when not spoken to. She winced as she heard him slam his bedroom door shut. She sighed to herself, and went upstairs. She opened the door to Johanna's room, lightly smiling to her as she saw that Johanna was ready to leave, sitting down on the bed next to her. (Y/N) made a plan with Johanna to pack the things they needed and to get dressed. In case Turpin came in, the things they packed were hidden under the bed. "I promise you turtledove, when this works we'll never have to come back here again." (Y/N) whispered, taking a hold of her daughter's hand as she smiled softly. Johanna looked up to her, her usually tear-stained eyes filled with hope. "Really?" Johanna asked, her voice soft. "Yes, my love. I've blocked Turpin's peeping hole, so he won't see us." (Y/N) stated, smiling as she watched the sky get dark.

"Come now, dear. It's time we left." (Y/N) whispered under her breath, slipping off the ring Turpin had given to her when they married, slipping on the ring Benjamin had married her with. Johanna nodded, taking their things from underneath the bed and opened the window, tossing down the rope they made from bedsheets and pillow cases. Johanna went down first, followed by (Y/N) who closed the window on her way down. (Y/N) then grabbed her daughter's hand, running off into the night away from the man who abused them both.

(Y/N) and Johanna continued running until they reached Fleet Street, stopping at Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie shop and going inside. (Y/N) knew Mrs. Lovett very well, they used to be great friends before (Y/N) was taken away. "We'll stay here, Mrs. Lovett is one of my old friends." (Y/N) explained, Johanna nodded as she sat down at a table in the empty shop. (Y/N) then saw Mrs. Lovett step out from her basement with a tray of pies, and when Mrs. Lovett saw (Y/N) and Johanna she stumbled and dropped the pies, a look of surprise on her face.

"(Y/N), Johanna! What are you..how are you here right now?!" Mrs. Lovett asked, not knowing that a certain barber had heard the names roll off her tongue and immediately slit his customer's throat. (Y/N) and Johanna listened as someone began coming down the stairs outside, a bit nervous since they didn't know who it was. (Y/N) watched as her husband of 17 years walk into the shop, both their eyes widening. Though they both looked slightly different to eachother, Sweeney more than (Y/N), they could still recognize eachother as if the day from 15 years. (Y/N) felt her eyes begin to tear up, her years of grief hitting her as she looked at her husband.

Sweeney Todd's POV:

Sweeney felt his form slightly shake as his eyes began filling with tears, seeing Johanna sitting behind her who somewhat recognized him from the photos her mother showed her. Sweeney immediately rushed over to (Y/N), hugging her and holding her tightly as tears rolled down both of their faces.

"(Y-Y/N).." Sweeney stuttered, it was all he could get out as he held her close, almost as if he would be dragged away again if he let go. "Oh, B-Benjamin..I've missed you so, so much." (Y/N) stated, Johanna stood and hugged the both of her parents. "It's nice to see you..D-Dad." Johanna stuttered, beginning to cry as well while a soft smile spread across her lips.

Johanna's POV:

Johanna smiled, feeling both her mother and her father's arms wrap around her, enveloping her into the hug. "We both..we both have missed you so much." (Y/N) stated, smiling softly. As the family reunited, Mrs. Lovett could slightly be heard sighing.

Mrs. Lovett's POV:

Mrs. Lovett sighed to herself and began to grow jealous of (Y/N). (Y/N) had a faithful and slightly overprotective husband and a beautiful daughter with Mr. Todd. 'It isn't fair...' Mrs. Lovett thought to herself, a slight frown on her face despite the lovely reunion going on in front of her.


(Y/N)'s POV:

(Y/N) placed a long, deserved kiss on Benjamin's lips. A soft, genuine smile that not even Mrs. Lovett has seen went across Sweeney's lips, only fueling Mrs. Lovett's jealousy. (Y/N)'s smile only grew as she watched Sweeney pick up Johanna, spinning her in the air with pure happiness in..in his genuine laugh, Johanna was laughing with him. At that simple, pure moment, Mrs. Lovett promised to have her revenge on (Y/N). If (Y/N) had just stayed where Mrs. Lovett trapped her and Johanna with Judge Turpin, she could've had Sweeney all to herself.
