While they were going back to the shop, they stayed quiet. She was so devastated and yet happy at the same time.

,, I wasn't expecting this a bit.'' He said.

,, Yeah. Me neither. I mean I'm expecting a child from you, Mr. T.'' She almost cried from the thought that she is expecting a child from a man she isn't married with.

He opened the shop's door for her. She sat down and said to him:

,, And besides we don't have the money for abort.'' She was worried and sad.

,, Wait. Who said that we're doing abort?'' He asked.

She looked into his eyes and asked:

,, But what other choice we have?''

He stood on his knees in front of her and put his hands on her belly: ,, Well I was thinking maybe we could keep it.''

She was a bit confused:,, So you want to keep it?''

He kissed her and said:,, Of course I do. We'll raise it like our own. And maybe someday when we'll have more money, we could run away from this city and move somewhere by the sea. Like you always dreamed.''

,,Oh Sweeney! I love you so much!'' She giggled and kissed him.

,, Um, Nellie?'' He called her name so romantically, that she couldn't resist him and kissed him again.

,, Yes my dear Sweeney?'' She giggled so cute that he forgot what he was going to say.

,, Um… I… I can't remember what I was going to say.'' He chuckled.

,, That's ok. It probably wasn't very important anyway.''

Then it struck him like lightning. ,, I just remembered.'' He said. ,, I was going to ask you what will we say to Toby? We can't hide it forever. I mean he will notice the belly grow. And at month 9…''

,, The baby will come.'' She finished his thought.

Right in that moment Toby came from his friend's house. He saw Mr. Todd on his knees and with his hands on Mrs. Lovett's belly.

,, Is everything alright, mom?'' Toby asked.

,, Of course dear.'' She smiled at Toby. ,, Um, Toby, dear? I need to talk to you for a moment.'' She said.

,, Ok.'' He felt afraid that he something wrong.

,, Now Toby. Would you like to have a little brother or sister?'' She asked.

,, Yes, mom that would be nice. I could teach all the things I know.'' He was happy and she could see that.

,, Well then, Toby. Your wish will come true.'' She put his hand on her belly and smiled.

,, Who is the father?'' He wanted to know.

She started to get nervous when Sweeney walked in the living room. She gave him a '' Please help me here!'' look and Toby saw it.

,, Is he the father? He asked quietly.

She shook her head and looked at Sweeney with red and teary eyes.

He sat down next to her and whispered in her ear:,, Shhhhh… It's ok. I'm here with you and so is Toby.''

Toby laid his head on her lap and said:,, Don't worry mom. I won't go anywhere.''

He had an idea. So he started to sing:,, Nothing's gonna hurt you, not while I'm around. Nothing's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare…''

She quietly said to Sweeney:,, Sweeney, I'm scared.''

,, Of what Nellie? I'll be there for you and you know it.'' He kissed her forehead.

,, Thank you Sweeney.'' She said to him.

,, Come, let's get you some tea ok?'' He asked.

,, A tea would be nice.'' She smiled and noticed he was kind of checking her out.

She didn't like the idea of him being her child's father, but not husband and he still acts like he is one. But she didn't care, because she was happy. She had everything she always dreamed of. Two children, loving man and true happiness. She went through the door first and she felt heat on her cheeks. She was blushing again. But why? Then She saw the reflection in the window. Sweeney was looking at her and smiling so sweetly she was ready to melt. Looks like the pregnancy pulled them closer. You could tell from the way they talked to each other. They didn't call each other '' Mr. T'' or '' Mrs. Lovett'' anymore. Now it was Sweeney and Nellie. It was a Thursday evening warm but cloudy.

,, Tomorrow's the day, Sweeney.'' He told himself. ,, It's going to be now or never.''
