Life was far from what Nellie Lovett could ever have wished for. If you had seen her on the streets of London you would have thought her to be just the typical, low-class, baker from Fleet Street. Although anyone whose thoughts consisted of this were wrong, dead wrong. Nellie Lovett had secrets, dark secrets- secrets that her late husband, Albert, had never known. Even the Demon Barber of Fleet Street himself had not been given any hint whatsoever of her dark past. Not that Sweeney Todd ever cared as to anything Nellie ever told him anyways. No, she had never told a single Muggle (as she had been taught to call them) and now here they were. Mrs. Lovett was now standing face to face with her past.

~15 Years Ago~
Nellie Black sat on the edge of her bed in her room of the Black Manor. Beside her sat Severus Snape and in front if them stood her twin sister Bellatrix, who was fuming at the both of them. Nellie was doing all she could to avoid her gaze.
"How could this happen?" She shouted at them.
"Bella, calm down," Nellie raised her voice and finally met her sisters angry glare.
"Shut up!" She hissed, pointing her wand at Nellie. "How could you do this? And with a Half-Blood!" She nearly screeched.
"Don't think I won't," she threatened.
"Bella, stop this," Nellie commanded lightly standing up and walking beside her sister. She watched her closely hoping Severus did not test her sister further. Nellie knew what Bellatrix was capable of, and she knew full well that she would go through with it. "Wot does it matter to ya?"
"He's a filthy Half-Blood!" Bellatrix cried. She was angry, her face burned with fury and her knuckles turned white as her nails drew blood from her palms. "Wait until the Dark Lord hears about this!"
"You know very well we have done no wrong by him, Bella," Nellie told her calmly. "Severus is a follower."

"Lord Voldemort trusts me," Severus reminded.
"How DARE you speak his name!" Bellatrix screamed at him, her wand stabbing his neck.
"Bella, stop this!" Nellie's eyes widened, fearing for Severus' life.
"Oh! Didn't you know sister dear?" Bellatrix beamed cruelly in a sickening sweet voice. "Your lover," she spat, "is a FILTHY HALF-BLOOD TRAITOR!" She pressed the wand harder in his neck once more before whirling around to Nellie. "And you! You have dishonored the family name! Sleeping with a Half-Blood! You are a Black! Pure-bloods are the only wizards we are to be with, you know that!" She glared at her sister- who was now pinned between the wall and her tall wardrobe- and lowered her wand to Nellie's stomach. She leaned forward and whispered icily to where Nellie could hear. "What kind of life will your child have, to be disowned by it's own family?" She hissed and pressed the wand harshly to Nellie's stomach causing Nellie to wince. She raised her voice, "Shall we tell Sevi?" She chuckled villainous. "Nothing but a-"
"Bella, stop this," Nellie looked her sister in the eyes. "This is my life and I'll do as I please. I love Severus and-"
"How dare you betray your family!" Bellatrix cut in angrily.

Just then there was a bright green flash on the far side of the room and the Dark Lord himself stepped out of the fire place.
"My Lord," Bellatrix pulled away from Nellie and moved beside Voldemort. "I was just having a little chat with my dear sister. Wasn't I Nellie?"
"You are my most loyal of servants, Bellatrix," he acknowledged and now stood before Severus and-a fearful- Nellie as they resumed their seats on the bed. "Bellatrix has informed me of 'unforgivable behavior'," Voldemort told them. He looked to Severus, who lowered his head, and then to Nellie, whose eyes were full if anger and fear."
"Go on Nellie, tell him," Bellatrix spoke up, smiling wickedly, "tell him what you told me. Tell our Lord how you betrayed the family!" She spat angrily.
"Enough, Bella," Voldemort warned and Bellatrix went silent, still glaring at Severus. He turned his gaze to Nellie who sat uncomfortably on the bed trying to shift from his gaze. He didn't do anything for awhile but stare, and finally Bellatrix spoke up not being able to contain herself.
"Tell him!" She snapped and Voldemort didn't stop her this time. He knew already, but no one knew that. Nellie jumped and her eyes filled with tears while she opened and closed her mouth trying to answer.
"Out with it," Voldemort demanded calmly.
"I'm with child."
