A/N: Heres the best I can do at a biggish part. Is very sad. You have been warned.
DISCLAIMER: YOU KNOW THE DRILL!
Sweeney woke up with light seeping through the window, taunting him, making him cover his eyes with his arm. He reached over to the other side, and wrap Nellie into him, but she was gone. He looked at the clock, and it was 11 o'clock.
"Bloody 'ell.." He grumbled. He fumbled out of bed, and went looking for Nellie. He walked into the nursery, thinking she might be with Lilly, and she was. She was in the rocking chair babbling with their little girl. He paused, and peered his head in to take in this cute moment.
"You know your daddy is all worried already silly man. He is a wonderful man Lil. He loves us an aweful lot. And I will bet somewhere he loves Toby too. You know he is right. You do have my face. But my, my, my, got your daddys pretty black hair. And your gorgeous big eyes.. Yes yah do." She babbled on. He smirked, and decided to make his entrance known, and opened the door as if he had just gotten there.
"Ah, awake are you love?" She smirked at him.
"Suppose I really DID tire you out eh?" She said giggling, he rolled his eyes and smiled. He walked over to Lilly and took her from Nellie, and switched spots with her.
"Sweeney, Toby and I were planning on heading to the market today, you plan on going?" She asked, picking up a few toys around the room.
"Sure love, I'll go get ready." He said, and then he said a few more nonsense words back at Lilly, and kissed her nose. She smiled faintly, and melted his heart. He tickled her little belly, and she let out a short and quiet gurgly giggle. He smiled in satisfaction, and gave her back to Nellie. He pecked her on the lips, and went to go get dressed. Nellie walked out and went to go see if Toby was done in his room.
"Toby? Love? Can you watch Lilly for a little bit? Sweeney and I are gonna finish getting ready." He opened the door and smiled at Lilly.
"Sure Mum. He went into the nursery and set her on his lap, and he talked and babbled with her.
"Sweeney? Ready?" Nellie called from the hallway. She had put on a simple blue dress, and left her hair down, pulling the front pieces back, making a ring of hair around her head. She knew Sweeney loved this hairstyle. He opened the door, and immediately smiled,
"Thanks love. You sure know how to make a mans day.." He smirked, walking over and kissing her sweetly.
"Oh, come on love! We gotta get some stuff. Looks like it'll be a rainy day, and I don't want Lilly catching cold." She said, and he nodded in agreement.
They were all in a carriage, waiting to enter the small market town area. Sweeney stepped out and helped Nellie out, and Toby walked out with Lilly.
"Alright Sweeney, Toby, Lilly and I are gonna get a few groceries, I will meet up with you later ok love?" She asked. He nodded, and decided to just wander around.
"Alright Toby love, I need you to go get some oranges." She pointed to a crate a few feet away from her.
"How many Mum?" He asked.
"Oh six'll do." She smiled, and turned to get some apples next to her. Toby had gone over and went to pick the best he could see. Nellie was in such deep thought, that at first she hadn't felt a cold metal feeling pressing against her back. When she came to, she turned and gasped. A man was standing behind her, with a gun to her back.
"Wha's a pretty little woman with a lil' baby like you looking around by ye'self?" It was like deja vu all over again. She gulped, and tried to walk away but she heard him cock the gun, as if ready to shoot.
"Ah, ah, ah love... Your coming with me." He growled he pressed harder, and shoved her into an alley. Toby heard Lilly crying, and looked back to see a man walking behind his mum into an alley. Toby ran but stopped to see that the man had grabbed the baby, and had Nellie cornered in the alley, with a gun to her head.
"Such a pretty thing you is. Bet all the men want yeh. Your probally a whore that has a baby from some stranger." She was burning with anger.
"No, you bastard," she said, feeling him press the gun harder to her head. "I am no whore, and my baby has come from the man I love." She said defiantly. He mumbled something not understandable. He had started to grope her and she had begun crying. It was starting to pour, and the man just placed Lilly on a nearby dumpster, and she was screaming at the top of her lungs, rain falling on her face.
"Please... Don't do it... PLEASE..." He ignored her and shoved her skirts up. That was it.
"Oi! You! Get yeh filthy bastard hands off me Mum!" Toby yelled running to his Mum.
"Toby! NO!" She yelled. But she was too late. Before thinking, the man turned and shot the gun. Toby stood still, at first not knowing if he was shot. But he felt something warm trickle down his nose. He couldn't hear anything, and all he could see was Nellie screaming and crying. He thought he saw a man run past him, and the man seemed to have punched the man down, seemingly knocking him out. It was all fuzzy. He saw Nellie being freed, and she ran to him. He was leaning against the wall. And it was getting all dark. He made out Nellie screaming,
"Toby? TOBY? No..." She was reaching for him but all he said was,
"I love ya mum." And he fell to the ground, slamming his hand against the concrete ground, causing his head to bleed even more from the gunshot wound right between his eyes. Nellie was screaming, and cradling Toby on her lap, his blood spilling across her dress. Sweeney had knocked the man out, and added a kick to his head, and turned to see Nellie sitting in a pool of blood. He hadn't known that Toby had gotten shot, and he thought at first the man shot Nellie.
"Nellie?" He cried, he ran over to see the whole in Toby's head, and Nellie bawling and shaking violently. He almost gagged. It wasn't the same killing he saw when he shaved his customers. It was sickening. Toby was like his son. A heartwrenching feeling shook him. He yelled, and Lilly was still crying. He pulled her closer, and sat beside Nellie. She leaned against his shoulder and cried. He leaned in a hugged his "adopted" son.
"No." He whispered. He took Nellie and Lilly into his arms, his two women, that Toby had saved. He leaned in, and shut Toby's eyelids.
"Thank you Toby." He whispered. He too, had tears in his eyes. Nellie hadn't shaken the crying, and just then the man regained consciousness. He walked back over, his drunkeness still showing as before, and pulling Nellie into his arms.
"Bitch! I am NOT done with you yet." Sweeney stood up and was about to attack the man when Nellie yelled at the man in the rain.
"You sick, sick SICK bastard. You killed MY son. My ONLY son. And all you fucking want is sex? You kill for sex?.. You dick." He was outraged, and he punched her in the jaw. She fell to the ground. Sweeny gently set Lilly on a dumpster, so she wouldn't fall, and ran and attacked the man. He took the gun from the mans pocket. He pointed it at the same spot Toby had gotten shot.
"This. This is for touching my wife." He kneed him in the groin. The man screamed in pain.
"And this? This is for my son." He yelled, and shot the man right there. He fell to the ground, and Sweeney set the gun in his hand, making it look like he shot himself. He ran for Lilly, and ran to Nellie who had crawled back to Toby. She had a huge puffy lip, and was bleeding down her mouth, all the way down to her throat.
"He's gone. He's gone. He's gone." She repeated over and over shaking her head. Sweeney leaned in and scooped her into his arms, and held her tight.
"Nellie. We need to get some people to help with Toby's body, and this man." She nodded, not really listening. Sweeney ran out for someone, leaving his silent wife, not blinking her eyes, staring at her son's continuessly bleeding head, they paleness of his skin more apparent now. She cried, but not as hard. She just sat and cried. She sat and cried, the rain pouring all over her. She cried when two men walked over and picked her lifeless son's body. She cried when Sweeny pulled her to her feet. She cried when she saw them put Toby's skinny body into a crate. She cried when they asked if they wanted his body to bury him. Sweeney answered for her and said yes. She cried all the way home, Sweeney holding her tight. She didn't know that he had been crying too. They cried all of the way home together. Looking at the black crate in front of them. They cried for their one and only son, that saved Nellie and Lilly. She cried when she saw Nellie pull the crate to the beach. She held Lilly, and watched him get ready to shove the crate into the water, when she stopped him, and lifted the top slightly.
"I love you my little boy. Thank you." She whispered, and kissed him on his cold and frozen cheek. She cried one last tear, falling onto his nose. And she helped Sweeney push him into the sea. It was then when she handed Lilly to Sweeney, it was then that she realized he was gone. It was then she screamed and yelled at the world. She fell to her knees and cried. Sweeney sat down and pulled her into his lap, and they sat there for hours, letting the warm summer sun rays beat down on them. They mourned for their son. They mourned together, feeling each others pain.
