Not A Scrap Of Motherly Affection...
"More sure than I think you know." He walked over to her and pulled the blanket up to her chest, smiling.
She leaned over and kissed him softly, knowing that regardless of the name, she and Sweeney both were going to love the child more than anything. "So, Sweeney, wot did yeh pick fer a girl's name?"
To her surprise, he blushed.
"Well I was thinking between two names actually..." He whispered. "Either Elizabeth Anne or Jazzmyn Marie."
Nellie stared, but softened her gaze at the choice of names. "Those are nice, Sweeney. I like 'em both."
"So did I pick alright? I mean when Johanna was born, I didn't get to choose her name..." Sweeney was cut off short by Nellie's soft lips. "O' course love. You picked perfectly."
It was lucky for Sweeney and Eleanor both, that they had come to a compromise about the baby's name... because not even two months later, it decided it was time to escape the womb. She sat in her bed, her eyes about to pop out of her head as she pushed, trying to get the little pink thing out.
"Eleanor, you have to push harder." Sweeney whispered, cradling her head in his arms.
"I AM BLOODY PUSHIN'!" She yelled, tears streaming down her reddened face. "I'M A BLOODY MESS!"
"Calm down mum." Toby whispered beside her. "Yeh're going to kill me and Mr. Todd."
"YOU WANT ME TER BLOODY CALM DOWN WHEN I'M PUSHIN' A LIVIN' 'UMAN' BEIN' FROM ME INSIDES?" She screamed, pushing harder.
"Don't hurt yourself, Nellie." Sweeney cooed. "We want you and the baby to survive."
"WHERE IS THE BLOODY OL' NURSE?" She yelled, looking up at Sweeney.
"She'll be here with the doctor soon. Since the baby is a month early, and it was such short notice, we couldn't really get him here that fast." Sweeney paused. "But I promise I will get this baby out of you."
A scream of agony escaped Nellie's lips, and suddenley, everything melted away... and darkness engulfed her. Pain was irrelevant as she felt relief; the baby was out; and nothing else mattered, not even her own life.
"Will she be alright?" It was a voice. She couldn't tell who, but she knew it was familiar.
"It's going to take 'er a few day to recover. We didn't expect this." Someone touched her arm and she felt her eyes flutter open. "Oh, sir, she's awake."
"Eleanor," Someone cooed into her ear lightly. She smiled, reaching up to touch their face.
"Am I dead?" She asked, not knowing whether her mouth was moving or not.
"No, Eleanor, but you should have been after what you just went through." She recognized him now, of course, that silly white streak in his hair, and his beautiful dark eyes... Sweeney Todd, her life.
"Wot did I go through?" She thought for a moment, then sighed. "Birthin' a baby, now I remember."
"Mum! Mum!" Toby yelled, running into her bedroom, looking disheveled.
"Wot 'appened ter yeh?" She asked, sitting up. Nausia filled her stomach as she turned to Sweeney. "Gemme' somethin'... I got ter puke-"
Too late.
Vomit spewed from her mouth and all over the floor beside her bed. She wiped her lips and stared at the mess on the floor.
"Be careful, love. You're not going to fully recover for a few days." Sweeney whispered, motioning for Toby. "Get a mop."
"Wot 'appened when I let out me child?"
"Children." Sweeney simply stated.
"Wot do yeh mea-" But the doctor cut her off, smiling lightly.
"Meet your children, Mrs. Lovett..." He cradled two small bundles in his arms. "Jazzmyn Marie Lovett and Benjamin Lucas Lovett."
"I 'ave twins?" She asked, her eyes speckled soft with tears. "I 'ave two children..."
"We." Sweeney whispered, kissing her forehead. "I decided on Jazzmyn, is that alright?"
"Perfect." She whispered. "But I want the two of them ter 'ave yeh're last name. Not mine."
"Jazzmyn Marie Todd and Benjamin Lucas Todd." Sweeney smiled. "I think we picked perfectly."
