Alright so sorry if this was a little over dramatic... it just sort of felt needed. It might be a little short. sorry for that too. Please be aware... I hate Toby, not the character, just what happened at the end of the actual movie. Anyways enjoy.

Sweeney sat in Mrs. Lovett's arms for what seemed like ages. He couldn't argue anymore, he didn't even want to speak.

"I'm tired, I'm going to have a bath" he said grimly as he stood up and walked over to the washroom.

Filling the tub he stripped down and stepped into the warm water, washing the blood off his hands and face.

What am going to do now? He thought to himself sighing loudly and slipping further into the water.

Fully immersing himself in the tub, he sat under the water holding his breath for as long as he possibly could, maybe even longer.

There was a muffled knocked followed by a panicked voice.

He ignored the noises and continued to hold his breath, he knew he couldn't last much longer.

"Mr. T?" Mrs. Lovett called through the door, unsure of whether or not she should go in.

Sweeney could feel his lungs demanding oxygen but it didn't matter to him, he just stayed submerged in the water.

"Mr. T?" she called again, more concerned this time.

Pushing open the door she saw him under the water and panicked, gasping loudly she ran over to the edge of the tub, reaching into the water latching desperately onto his arm.

Sweeney felt the tight grip on him just as he took in a breath of water, choking slightly.

Mrs. Lovett yanked him up to the surface still not letting go of his arm.

Feeling himself being pulled upwards, coughing up water he doubled over into himself, shaking with every cough, ridding his lungs of the intruding liquid as he took in gasps of air.

"What were you thinking?!" she cried shaking him slightly.

Sweeney didn't say anything, he just sat in silence breathing heavily.

"Well!?" she asked, her voice cracking

"I'm sorry" he said quietly "I wasn't thinking"

"Sure as hell you weren't" she was choking back the tears that stung her eyes.

Looking straight ahead Sweeney fought the urge to slide back down under the water.

"You- you promised you wouldn't leave me again" Mrs. Lovett said tears running down her face.

His heart clenched, she was right he did promise her that and he had the intention on keeping that promise, but the self loathing and misery tore at him brutally.

"I won't. I'm sorry" he said gloomily.

"Then why were you trying to drown yourself?" she asked letting go of him and standing up.

"I don't know" Sweeney replied quietly "I just don't want to hurt you anymore. I don't want to jeopardise everything you've worked for because of my stupid actions. I don't want to cause the life you have to deteriorate"

"Don't you get it? As long as you're with me I am happy, I don't care about your actions as long as I get to be with you. Toby forgave you after everything. And you still want to leave all that behind?" she sounded almost angry.

Grabbing a towel she held it out for him, turning her head slightly.

"Get out of the water" she demanded.

Slowly Sweeney pushed himself out of the tub, grabbing the towel he wrapped it around his waist as he stepped out onto the cold bathroom floor.

"You're not coming back in here, understand?" Mrs. Lovett sounded devastated

Sweeney nodded and slowly walked out of the room and into the bedroom.

Silently he dressed and sat down on the side of the bed, his wet hair falling in his face.

Mrs. Lovett stood in front of him, playing with the trim of her dress.

"I don't even know what to say anymore. Clearly you'd rather be dead than be with us" she said sobbing quietly.

Sweeney looked up at her with hurt eyes "that's not true" he said lovingly "I want to be with you forever, but I'm a terrible person and I don't deserve to have a life as amazing as this one"

"Why? What makes you think that you don't deserve this? Everything you've done was for a reason, why can't you see that. You have been wronged so many times, now it's your turn to be happy" she said stepping towards him.

Sweeney swallowed hard, taking one of her hands he pulled her down next to him.

"I love you" he said bluntly

She smiled "I know, I love you too, please don't ever scare me like that again" she pleaded squeezing his hand.

"I promise" he replied.

She kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Quickly he turned to face her, swiftly his hand went to the back of her neck, pulling her towards him he kissed her hard and passionately. Letting go of her hand, he cupped her cheek delicately as her arms slid over his shoulders, holding him close to her.

When the kiss was done they were both breathing hard.

"Get some sleep, you look exhausted, though I'm not sure I look any better" she said stroking his cheek gently.

He nodded "I am"

Slowly Mrs. Lovett stood up, getting changed quickly she slid onto the bed next to him, nuzzling in her usual spot against his chest.

Sleep came quickly to both of them.
