A/N: Here yah go loviesss :D
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SWEENEY TODD!
"I love you too." Nellie whispered to her husband, at his usual morning ritual he had been doing ever since that long time ago when he had gone a rampage. She rolled over into his chest, and tucked her forehead into his neck. She had almost forgotten all about that night, but had been ignoring it since. She knew she should really truly still be angry with him, but she knew that he was truly regretful of what he had done. She saw it everyday. Every time he held her face in his hands. Everytime he made love to her.
Nellie rolled onto her back, stetching her legs. She was about to curl back into his lap, when she heard faint whimpers, turning into cries, turning into screams.
"Be back love." Sweeney nodded, eyes still closed. Nellie slipped out, muttering things down the hall way about her "on her way." and "alright already."
"Morning love...shh.. Hungry huh?" When Nellie picked Lilly up, she tried to feed her but Lilly pushed her away. Must be she just wanted out. Nellie sat onto the floor, and set Lilly down, helping her stand up. Lilly pushed her hands away, and Nellie reached back so she wouldn't fall. But she didn't. Nellie stared wide eyed at her baby girl, standing by herself for the first time.
"SWEENEY! Come here quick!" She squeaked. She heard Sweeney hurry out of the room, and ran to the door.
"What's wron-" He stopped. His face spread into a huge smile, when he saw what he daughter was doing. He crouched down, and spread out his arms to her. Nellie watched silently, looking at her smiling husband, and giggling daughter.
".. Dada." They both gasped.
"God Sweeney she wants to get all of her firsts done today huh? First time standing, first word!" She was smiling at her daughter laughing with her. Then Lilly, took a slow step forward. They tensed, waiting to see what would happen. She slowly lifted her other foot, and.. stood straight. She took another step, a little bit quicker, and before they knew it, she was in Sweeney's arms, saying Dada over and over again.
"Oh Sweeney! She took her first STEPS too!" Nellie babbled. Sweeney smiled proudly at his daughter.
"My your a clever little girl aren't you? Take right after your father don't you." Sweeney smirked, looking up at Nellie with a devious grin.
"Sweeney! Now you KNOW she looks just like me. Poor dear." She said with a smile.
"Nellie, you KNOW your glad she looks like you!" Sweeney chuckled. She rolled her eyes, but pointed at Lilly.
"Well, she does have a hint of you dear.." Sweeney looked down, to see Lilly looking at him with the same smirk he had on when he had something up his sleeve, and looked closer to see her reaching for.. his razors.
"Ah ah ah! Lilly, you don't play with Dada's things, love!" Sweeney chuckled nervously, pushing down his razor further. Nellie just laughed, and walked out.
"I'll be making breakfast Sweeney, keep an eye on Lilly." She smiled.
"Two after that little stunt you little thief." He smirked at Lilly. Nellie laughed again, and made her way out of the room. But before Sweeney could pick Lilly up, Nellie popped her head back through the door.
"Sweeney... what's todays date?" She practically whispered. He thought for a moment and replied,
"April 3rd. Why?" He said, scooping Lilly into his arms. Nellie's face went pale.
"Lilly's first birthday is tomorrow." Sweeney felt lightheaded too, and looked at his daughter, and she just gave her little "daddy" smirk, and looked at her parents. They laughed as she looked back and forth, as if she was in on the conversation too.
"Your getting to old for Mama and Dada Lilly." Nellie sighed, coming over giving her a kiss on the forehead. She walked out of the room, continuing on her task.
"What are we gonna do with you huh?" Sweeney asked, lightly tickling her stomach. Lilly laughed, throwing her head back, and Sweeny leaned in, blowing on her cheek.
Nellie stood in her kitchen, listening to her daughter laugh hysterically as Sweeney was probaly tickling her like he did. He really was a good father. He knew just what to do to make her happy, he could actually watch her by himself unlike many fathers, and he was just overall good at it. Ever since Lilly was born, she sensed he would make a great father. Nellie walked down the hallway to finish getting dressed, when she had to run to the bathroom. She spilled her contents, and flushed it down. She felt a little dizzy so decided to go sit onto the bed. The room felt like it was spinning. She sat, thinking why this was happening when two things occurred to her. She had experienced this once all before, and she hadn't had her period in a long time. Oh shit.
Sweeney walked into the living room, after laying Lilly down for her nap, and sat down into the chair he always sat in.
"Can't believe its been practially a whole year can you?" He asked, resting his head back onto the chair's curving of the frame.
"Hmm.." She said. Sweeney sensed she wanted to say something, so he looked at her.
"What's wrong?" He asked, still keeping an intense gaze at her.
"Sweeney.. what would you say.. what would you say to having.." She stuttered, trying to find the correct words.
"Out with it Nellie!" He smirked.
"What would you say to another baby?" She blurted out, a little hard to understand. But he understood.
"What?" He asked quietly, sitting straighter. Surely she didn't want a baby already.
"I said how would you feel about another baby?" She asked, a little embarrassed asking him this way, but she needed to know the truth.
"Well.. Um.. How do you feel?" He asked, sensing it was a trick question.
"Well I bloody know how I feel, I want to know how you feel!" She snapped. He shifed uncomfortably. He didn't want to make her mad. But he didn't want to lie either.
"Well, I don't see why not.. Maybe not this instand but..?" He trailed off, seeing what she would do. She stood up,
"I see." She huffed, and stopped off.
"Nellie! Wait!" He said, striding up to her. She shook her head, but he caught her wrist, spinning her around.
"What's going on Nellie?" He asked, pushing a curl back.
"So you are basically saying no?" She asked, the anger flaring in her eyes.
"No, Nellie, I'm not. I am just saying maybe not now." He said, running the side of his hand on her cheek. She backed away and screeched.
"WELL YOUR TOO DAMN LATE!" She tried to run off, but he grabbed her waist this time, keeping her in one place.
"What's that supposed to mean Nellie?" He asked, his voice dropping to almost a whisper.
"It MEANS, you already got me pregnant, so too late. Can't back out now Sweeney!" She said, pouting her lips slightly. Sweeney almost laughed at her expression but kept a straight face, knowing she was already cross with him. He slowly put his hand onto her stomach, and she let him.
"Are you sure?" He whispered. She looked into his dark eyes, the intense stare causing her to melt to his touch.
"Not ABSOLUTELY sure, but I have some symptoms." She said quietly. He smiled hugely at her.
"You're a tricky woman Nellie Lovett. You had me worried for a minute." He chuckled, pulling her into his arms.
"So your ok with it? Your not mad?" She asked, wrapping her hands over his shoulders. He shook his head.
"No Nellie, I promise I'm not. How far do you think you are?" He asked, slowling walking with her to the couch.
"I dunno. I haven't bled recently. Maybe, a month? No, more like two. DAMMIT I DON'T KNOW!" She suddenly burst into tears, making Sweeney feel a little awkward.
"It's just that..I don't think.. That.. We ready yet." She sobbed. Sweeney finally caught on. Oh, she was definitely pregnant. And it was probaly TWO months past. He didn't want to anger her anymore than she already was, so just wrapped her tightly into his arms.
"We're ready for anything." He whispered. She smiled, and he kissed her head. She felt her heart race faster again. She LOVED when he was sentimental with her. Sure she loved him rough. He WAS rough. He was SWEENEY TODD for god's sakes. But these little touches, proved he WASN'T inhuman. She smiled again, and layed for a few more minutes. Sweeney played with her hair, and finally broke the silence.
"Can't believe she's really going to be one." Nellie caught on to the "she", and smiled.
"I know love. But before we know it, she'll be a teenager, and even after that, a beautiful little lady." She sighed, sitting up to face him.
"Don't say that. I don't want to even think about that yet." She almost laughed at his suddenly tense expression. She knew he really WAS fond of Lilly. Terribly. She knew it the moment she saw him look at their little daughter. Sweeney pulled her back to his lap, and she started to cry again, for no reason. Oh boy.
"Nellie what's wrong?" He asked, hiding his faint annoyance. But when she whispered what she did, he immediately felt guilty for his reaction.
"Think Toby'd be happy? You know, with another one on the way?" Sweeney was silent for a moment. He was searching for the right words, but none came.
"I suppose he would Nellie. He'd have a hard time giving it the same amount of attention he always gave Lilly though." He was treading on thin ice, and hoped it helped. And he was successful. He heard a faint chuckle come from her.
"He was bloody wrapped around her finger eh?" She laughed. Sweeney smiled, rubbing her now, occupied stomach.
"I miss him so, so, so much Sweeney. So much." She said, feeling the hot tears sear down her face again. Sweeney just sighed,
"I know you do. I do too Nellie. But he's in a better place. Away from this wicked, wicked world." He said. He didn't really know what to think about the afterlife. He just knew that Toby, bless his soul, must have ended up in a good place.
"I know. I tell myself that everday." She smiled. She sat up suddenly, and wiped her tears.
"Come on love, can't sit around and mope all day. Especially when we have a moment to ourselves." She winked, a playful smirk playing on her lips.
"And what would you suppose we fill it with, my pet?" He asked, his voice growing suddenly deep. It sent chills down Nellie's spine.
"Oh, I'll show you. Come on love." She said, reaching for his hand leading him to the bedroom.
