We made it to the sea, Mr. Todd

"Do you remember that rainy afternoon 3 years ago?" Mrs. Lovett asked, adjusting herself on the blanket, "The day we left?"

Mr. Todd looked over at her as he played with his white strip of hair. "I suppose I do, love. It was a glorious day." He wrapped his arm around her, "It was the day we adopted Toby, and it was the day after," He wrinkled his nose, "Turpin died."

Mrs. Lovett wrapped her arms around his waist. "You used to ignore me." She giggled, "Not to mention, you scared Toby senseless." Sweeney smiled and pulled Mrs. Lovett closer. "I still can't believe it's over, even after all this time."

Sweeney frowned, "Why can't you believe it's over? Turpin's dead, Lucy's dead, we're married, and Toby, Joanna, and Antony live with us. It's a happy ending."

Mrs. Lovett pulled away. "I know it's a happy ending, but…"

"But what? A happy ending, Nellie, the end is all that matters."

Mrs. Lovett looked Sweeney in the eyes, "I was so scared, love, you don't understand. First, it was when Toby was telling me he had figured out that you were killing your customers, I thought I would have to kill him, and that broke my heart. Then, as if that wasn't enough, you found out about Lucy, and I thought you were going to kill me. Or…or…or worse."

Sweeney leaned closer,"Mrs. Lovett, what could possibly be worse then death?"

Mrs. Lovett wiped a way a tear, "You leaving me. Again. But, It's worse than last time, last time you weren't mine! You were Lucy's and I wasn't so close to you, didn't talk with you, or live with you, or know you really at all." Sweeney pulled her into his lap. "But this time, this time you were so close to being mine. I had you with me every day. We talked and ate and you even, even looked at me. Really looked at me." She burst into tears. "I couldn't lose that. I love you to much."

Sweeney hugged her as close as their bodies could be and hummed Mrs. Lovett's lullaby into her ear. "Easy now, Hush love hush, I keep telling you, what's your rush?" Mrs. Lovett giggled; it was so strange to hear her words out of his mouth. Sweeney wiped her tears away as he continued talking. "Keep your thoughts nice and…Lush? That can't be the word! Lush...Isn't that like luscious? Which is a bush or something?" He looked into her (now dry) eyes and leaned his forehead against hers. "There we go, love, now smile for me."

Mrs. Lovett gave a huge grin and asked Sweeney something sort of random: "Why didn't you kill me?"

Sweeney sighed. "Well, I was going to, you know, throw you into the fire and all, but I wanted to-" He flipped her onto her back and lied on top of her, "-have my way with you first!" Mrs. Lovett giggled until Sweeney kissed her. They froze when the heard Toby shout.

"Joanna! Antony! Come quickly! They're kissing!" They looked over at the house to see all three 'Kids' leaning out the window. "Hello Mum, Pa!"

Joanna opened the door and walked over to the blanket. "Come on, papa, it's time for dinner." She helped Mrs. Lovett up once Sweeney had gotten off of her. "It's sort of cold out, you shouldn't be outside."

Antony took Joanna's arm as the walk back into the house. "But, Love, the cold will make the apple cider and the fire feel better."

Toby jumped into the air. "Alright! Apple cider." He looked back at Mrs. Lovett. "Can we have meat pies, too?"

Sweeney smiled as he took Mrs. Lovett's hand as they walked through the door. "Come on, love, how about meat pies, for old times sake?"

This will (hopefully) be a multi-chapter thing. Probably not a story, but a serious of moments in this life.

I'm sorry for people who don't agree with me, but I think this is how the story should have ended (By the sea, not this story specificly).

Carpe Diem
