"Mom are you okay?"
"Love, I am fine." She started chopping dough with anger.
"I see…" Amanda muttered under her breath.
Amanda was about to walk back to the parlor when Mrs. Lovett screamed, "AH!"
Amanda whirled around to find Mrs. Lovett on the ground, in the fetal position cursing.
"MOM! What happened?" She kneeled next to her and brushed the hair away from her face.
"I cut my damn finger." She showed Amanda. The cut was deep, halfway through her finger.
"Eeee.. ah… Okay let's get you fixed up, stay here Mom."
"HURRY!"
Amanda rushed into the bathroom and grabbed a washcloth and ran it under warm water. She grabbed cloth and a needle with string that they use at the doctors and pills.
She rushed back into the parlor, finding Mr. Todd just entering too.
Amanda kneeled down beside the injured Mrs. Lovett and gently put the washcloth on her finger.
"What happened?" Mr. Todd walked over to Mrs. Lovett.
"She cut her finger."
"How?"
"Furiously cutting the dough."
"Furiously?"
"Yes," Mrs. Lovett hissed.
Mr. Todd gave Amanda a look.
Amanda shrugged and continued to soothe her finger.
Mr. Todd just stood and watched.
"Mom, take this pill okay?"
"Why? You try to poison me?"
"No, it's to numb your finger."
"Why?"
"Just take it Mom, I'm trying to help."
She took the pill and shivered as the thing went down her throat—it was a big pill.
"L-l-love, can you g-get me a blanket?"
Amanda rushed into the parlor and ripped off Toby's blanket.
"AH!" Toby yelled as he flew to the floor with a thump.
"It's for mom, she cut her finger half-way off and she's cold. C'mon!"
Toby followed after Amanda and she put the blanket around her mom.
30 minutes later
"Okay, mom. I'm going to put you to rest for a little bit, so—"
"DON'T KILL ME! I STILL HAVE THINGS TO DO!"
"Calm down, mom. I meant I'm going to put you to sleep, like doctors do when they have to operate."
"Wot?"
Amanda pinched her neck and Mrs. Lovett fell asleep.
Mr. Todd chuckled and Amanda looked at him. Her lips quivered and she burst out laughing. Amanda got up and hugged her dad. "I love you." She whispered. Her dad smiled slightly and looked at her.
"You are beautiful," her dad said, "Beautiful." He rubbed her cheeks and motioned her to go back to her mom.
She went back to Mrs. Lovett and pulled out a needle.
"Wot are you DOING?" Toby asked with fear.
"Ah, calm down Toby." Amanda giggled. "It's just to sew her finger back up, like stitches. You two might want to leave, I'm strong on seeing blood and bones and guts and all that icky stuff."
Toby ran into the parlor and hopped onto the couch. Mr. Todd smiled and sat down at a booth. "You staying?" Mr. Todd nodded.
Amanda grabbed her rubbery string and started to sew. Mr. Todd didn't even flinch. She sewed for what seemed like an hour, but was only half of that.
After she was done, she sighed.
"Done!"
Mr. Todd looked at Mrs. Lovett who was lying on the floor, her mouth open. He chuckled again.
"Can you help me carry her to her bedroom?"
"What?"
"You heard me dad! C'mon, grab her feet and I'll grab her head." Mr. Todd sighed and got up slowly, picking up Mrs. Lovett's feet with them as far away from his body as possible as Amanda lifted her head delicately.
"TOBY!" Amanda yelled.
Toby jumped up and raced into the meat pie shop. He scratched his head.
"Wot are you doing again? Don't drop her!"
"I won't. Grab her lower back and upper thighs."
Toby obeyed and lifted her.
After the three carried her to her room, they all left, except for Mr. Todd. He sat next to Mrs. Lovett and looked at the ground.
She looked at her throbbing finger and moaned. "Wot?"
"Amanda sewed your finger up."
Mrs. Lovett did a double take as she whirled around her bed to find Mr. Todd in the covers next to her. She pinched her arm hard that it started to bleed.
"Why did you do that?"
"I thought I wos in a dream."
"You are not."
"I see that, love." She started to get up when Mr. Todd grabbed her arm.
"Stay."
Mrs. Lovett got the butterflies in her stomach and her heart raced. She obeyed without further thinking and cautiously positioned her body towards Mr. Todd. She slowly put her arm around his chest—his bare chest. It wasn't his shirt. It was his chest. Chest. Chest. CHEST. CHEST!
He looked at her and she removed her arm immediately. "It's okay." He grabbed her arm and put it back where she had it. Inside she was kissing his face off, ripping off his clothes and doing other things that would not be suitable for children to be watching. Not even Amanda, and she was mature.
She rested her head on his chest too, feeling the cold rush onto her cheeks and sending chills up her spine. He was cold, very cold. But she loved that she was snuggling with Sweeney Todd!
Mr. Todd gently kissed her head and ran his fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp and from time to time, kissing her forehead. Mrs. Lovett would exhale out in reply, wanting more than just snuggling. She squirmed a bit to kind of tell him what he wanted.
"Are you alright, Nellie?" Mr. Todd asked.
Nellie. He had never called her that. Not even in her dreams. It was always Mrs. Lovett. But he said her first name. He said Nellie. That was a first for Sweeney Todd.
"Yes, love. I am." She inched her head into his neck and breathed slowly. He caressed her neck, pulling her closer into his neck. He kissed her forehead lightly and leaned into her ear.
"I love you…"
Amanda and Toby were sitting on the ground, thinking of what to do.
"We ought to help the ma'am."
"Yeah, but how? What could we do?"
"Let's bake her somethin'!" Toby exclaimed as he jumped up.
"What though? We have absolutely nothing, only the supplies for meat pies. We would have to go to the market."
Toby looked at Amanda and smirked. He ran out of the parlor and into the bathroom, where Mrs. Lovett kept her coin purse. Amanda followed and raised an eyebrow as he took the coin purse out of the cabinet.
"How did you know where she kept that?"
"I know my ways around new houses in case somethin' bad happens." He smirked and motioned for Amanda to go after him.
Mrs. Lovett got on top of Sweeney Todd, leaning over onto his neck, kissing it. Mr. Todd locked his arms around her and closed his eyes, taking it all in as the moment lasted.
"Sure is busy 'ere."
"Yeah." Amanda and Toby made their way into the busy market to buy the ingredients for cake batter, chocolate frosting, and cherries.
Amanda picked up the chocolate frosting bottle and looked at its price and flinched. "Aw, that's expensive. In America, it was 1/5 of the price of this!"
"So, it is." A voice said from behind Amanda and Toby. Amanda froze in her place and Toby turned around and let out a shriek. He grabbed Amanda's arm, "Judge Turpin… Here, I'll pay for the frosting with my allowance. Run, go get the rest of the batter ingredients." He leaned into her ear, "I'll stall 'im. Go!"
Amanda ran to the butter, milk, eggs, and cake batter. Toby yelled, "I'll be gettin' this frosting!" The salesman nodded and Toby paid.
"Wot are you doin' here?"
"Why, can't a fine man like me ask that young lady to some tea?"
"Why yeah, pervs can."
Judge Turpin grabbed hold of Toby's arm, "Don't you dare call me a pervert young man. I can have you arrested. You do not know of my capabilities. Now run, run off to your young girlfriend. But know this," he leaned into his ear, "I'll be watching." He turned away and started walking.
"SHE AIN'T MY GIRLFRIEND! SHE MY SIS!" Toby cursed under his breath and went off to the butter area where Amanda was.
"Nellie…" Mr. Todd managed to say as they were kissing under the covers. Nellie Lovett was on top of Mr. Todd once again, doing as she wished.
"Yes Mistah T?" She kissed his jaw line and licked his lips.
"Nell.." he stopped and then said, "I.. love you.."
Nellie chuckled and leaned to his face, inches away from his face, "I love you too, Mistah T."
"Call me Sweeney, my pet."
"I love you too, Sweeney. Is that better?"
He chuckled and kissed her gently.
"Amanda? AMANDA?" Toby ran throughout the section Amanda was in. He ran to a clerk, "'ave you seen a girl, this tall, brown hair, brown eyes, shopping for butter, eggs, and milk?" The clerk shook his head and took his hat off, in honor.
Toby groaned and became worried. "Where's my sis?" His eyes swelled up with tears and he ran away from the market, going towards the streets of London to tell Mr. Todd and Mrs. Lovett.
"You know, Mistah-I mean Sweeney."
Mr. Todd tittered and smiled.
"Why you doin' all this all of a sudden? You used to 'ate me just a couple days ago."
"Nellie, I never hated you." He looked into her eyes, "I never hated you. I just never told you that I loved you."
Nellie's lips quivered and Sweeney pushed his against hers, releasing her warm tears. They ran down her cheek slowly soon reaching to where their mouths were interlocked.
Toby ran and ran and ran as fast as he could, the pounding of his heart was so loud that it could be heard from a hundred miles away.
The pie shop became in sight, and he ran into it, yelling "MA'AM! MISTAH! I NEED YOUR HELP!"
"What was that?" Sweeney asked, now out of love, now anger.
"Is Toby, love? Git dressed!" Mrs. Lovett ran out of bed, pulling on her corset.
Mr. Todd dressed into his slacks (and underwear of course) and pulled on the rest of his clothes.
"I'm gonna kill the boy.." Mrs. Lovett muttered. He basically ruined their moment.
She opened the door and trotted downstairs. Mr. Todd followed after.
"Wot's gotten into you, Toby? Why you shoutin'?"
"I went to the market and Amanda wasn't where she was, she's gone! I can't find her!" Toby looked at them both with worry and fear.
Mrs. Lovett screamed, "AMANDA!" And ran to the parlor to get her coat.
Mr. Todd gasped and tears filled his eyes.
"We have to go before somethin' bad 'appens!" Toby ran outside, jumping up and down.
Mrs. Lovett followed, and Mr. Todd ran outside without putting on his coat, just wearing his white long sleeve. They all walked fast to the market to find Amanda.
Mrs. Lovett put her hand in Mr. Todd's when Toby was ahead of them. He looked at her and she looked back, sadness filling her eyes. "Where's our girl?"
Mr. Todd slowly shrugged and squeezed her hand, them both quietly crying as they walked to find Amanda.
Sweenett moment right there, huh? xD That's cute though, they are so adorable together. Thank you for reviewing, more reviews will help them find Amanda!
