How hypocritical of me, I say how much I hate people to don't update right away and her I am, months later I give you a small chapter.

Basically this is just a little fluff leading up to the end... yes this is soon going to come to an end I believe, though I'm not sure when I hope you will all like it.

Trust me I am trying to get on writing more lately. But please enjoy this chapter, once again I'm sorry.

Before washing up Sweeney pulled Mrs. Lovett into the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" she asked sitting down on the bed.

Without a word he walked over to his jacket, pulling out a small black velvet box.

"I wish this would have all been more organized. This goes with my proposal" he said holding out the box to her.

She took it quickly, gasping as she opened it to reveal a gorgeous ring nestled comfortably in the box.

"Oh my lord, it's beautiful!" she said slipping it on her annular finger.

"It looks perfect" he said standing in front of her, a small smile across his features.

"Thank you so much" she replied standing up and hugging him.

"You are very welcome" Sweeney said before kissing her lightly on the lips "you deserve the very best"

As Sweeney washed up Mrs. Lovett sat giddily in their room, twisting her ring around her finger, occasionally holding out her hand to look at it, before playing with it once more.

Sweeney relaxed it the warm water, it felt like he had been in the jail for ages. He sighed splashing the water onto his face to prevent himself from falling asleep and drowning.

Once clean he pulled himself out of the water, slipping on a new set of clothes he slowly made his way into the bedroom.

"Oh dear you look so tired, you should really get some rest" Mrs. Lovett said, jumping up and leading him over to the bed.

He nodded before swaying slightly "I really must agree with you on that"

She smiled walking around to the other side as he made himself comfortable, instantly snuggling up against his chest.

"You know I'm one of the luckiest people in the world" she whispered.

He chuckled "I love you"

"Love you too..." she trailed off, smiling as the man was fast asleep before he heard the end of her sentence.

Sweeney slept for what seemed like ages, occasionally Mrs. Lovett would peak in to see if he had woken up but to her disappointment he was still fast asleep.

"It makes sense" she said walking over to the table where Toby sat "I think I would sleep for days as well after that"

"Same" Toby agreed, nibbling on a cookie. The service hours of her shop came and went leaving her and Toby alone in the shop "when do you think he'll be up?" the boy asked, looking out the window to see the sun already setting.

Mrs. Lovett shrugged "not sure luv, but I say it's best just to let him rest"

Night rolled around quickly, making Mrs. Lovett begin to worry that he still hadn't woken up but pushed it aside. Toby sat at the table watching as she prepped for service the next day, she felt bad that they had been rather unreliable recently for when they were open, so she figured it would be a good idea to get back on schedule.

"You sure you wouldn't like help mum?" Toby asked as he continued to watch her work.

"I'm sure deary, you need to get better and running around the shop won't be helping you any" she replied with a warm smile.

Moments later she heard a door open followed by slow footsteps.

"I think someone's awake" Toby said with a smirk.

"Thank goodness, I was beginning to think he might be dead" she replied

"Who might be dead?" Sweeney asked as he walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"You dear" she stated with a chuckle

Sweeney smiled, the scar from when she threw the rolling pin at him creased slightly "oh, sorry how long did I sleep?"

"Right through the day dear" she said walking over to him "it's alright though, how are you feeling?" she asked placing a hand on his cheek and running her thumb along the scar.

"Much better" he said taking her hand from the scar and kissing it.
