AN: I do NOT own Sweeney Todd. At all. I think Warner Brothers does. But I'm just a mega fan and thought that I should do a good romance Sweeney Todd. But I don't own it

Chapter One: Lucy

Sweeney POV

"Lucy, my darling, don't you agree that you and Johanna need some brightening up around the room? Let us go to the market and get some flowers. It is a desirably day in Fleet Street, eh love?" "Oh, Benjamin, I'm not sure. I mean sure some flowers would be desirable, but I'm not sure I would like to go out today. I have a bad feeling. Call me a witch if I'm wrong…" "Nonsense darling. Come let us leave. Put Johanna in her bassinet and we shall go."

Turpin POV

"Beadle, do you see that enticing woman? The yellow haired one." "Ay sir, the one with the barber and the baby?" "I must have her. Find her name. Find everything about her. Unless, of course, you already know?" "Honorable judge, how can you not know the luscious Lucy Barker? She is married to the dashing Benjamin Barker, the barber. That is their daughter, Johanna." "Ahh Beadle, you bring me sad news. I must have that woman as mine. Even in my age I must have a darling woman at my side. Married, do you think we could take care of that barber? I'm sure we can come up with something?" "I'm sure there's something we can come up with to get him out of the picture… I've got it!" Beadle whispers into Turpin's ear "sir, shall I run and get the policemen?" "Yes,,, tell them Judge Turpin sent you. I must get ready to comfort the poor Ms. Lucy. After all, her husbands arrest in front of her child must be heartbreaking." turpin chuckles and Beadle gets the police. The police beat down Benjamin Barker in front of his wife and child and that is the last he sees of them. It is also the last anyone will ever see of Benjamin Barker ever again.

Lucy POV

"Benjamin, I don't think that purple daisies are proper for brightening up a simple room. They are to flashy, don't you agree?" picks up white daisy and twirls it in front of Johanna; she laughs "Well my darling Lucy, how about white? I believe that Johanna likes them?" "White would be perfect!" the police run up and throw down Benjamin "stop! No! what are you doing! Stop it leave him alone!" the police take away Benjamin, he looks at Lucy when last time and tells her he loves her, Lucy falls to her knees crying she clutches her baby and cries, suddenly, from behind, a strong hand grasps her shoulder, she looks and it is the honorable Judge Turpin. "Excuse me, she says getting up quickly, I'm just…. I'm sorry" "my dear, there is nothing for you to be sorry for. Please let me help you." "No. I'm fine" she says bluntly. She puts Johanna in her bassinet and walks away. The judge follows her home from afar. In the following days, he sends her bundle-by-bundle of flowers. Purple Daisies. She decides to write him a letter through the pain of missing her husband

Dear Honorable Judge Turpin,

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not interested in your courtship. I find it offensive that you continue to badger me and send me flowers. In fact, im not sure how you even are aware of my address. Please, leave me alone.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Lucy Barker

Turpin POV

"Excuse me! Mister! I have a letter for you! From the misses you been sending me off too with the flowers!" a young boy yells to Turpin. He turns around and snatches the letter from the boy. It reads:

Dear Honorable Judge Turpin,

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not interested in your courtship. I find it offensive that you continue to badger me and send me flowers. In fact, im not sure how you even are aware of my address. Please, leave me alone.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Lucy Barker

I will NOT allow some woman to speak to me this way! Turpin thinks. He calls for the Beadle and they hatch up a plan so he can get Lucy. No matter what.…

Lucy POV

knock at her door She opens it and there stands the Beadle. "Madam, I am hear with a summons to the Honorable Judge Turpin's. he is very sorry and blames himself for your problems, you must come straight to his house tonight. He needs to apologize in person like a gentleman." "Oh of course! I shall come at once, my daughter will be safe with Mrs. Lovett." She proceeds to get Mrs. Lovett and go to the Judges abode. Once inside, there is a party. She becomes confused quickly and when she finds the judge, she quickly becomes overtaken. She returns to her home, distraught. To Mrs. Lovett, "I cant go on without my Benjamin. After tonight, I realize that." She goes to the apothecary and gets arsenic. She drinks it and it doesn't kill her. She goes mad.

Turpin POV

"Serves the wench right. I hear she's gone mad after that night. What is to become of the child Beadle?" "Well, sir. I have gotten the baby Johanna from Mrs. Lovett. She could become your ward if you are willing to care for her? Or to pay for someone else to do so. I'm sure someday she will be prettier than her mother?" "Ay Beadle. I'm sure that can easily be arranged. Brilliant idea. Find her a nurse. Quickly"
