12. Chapter 12

Hey Everyone!!
Thanks for the great reviews!! Like I said before the reviews really motivates me to continue to keep writing. Just to let you all know Sweeney may seem a little out of character, but like I said before I think this will really work for his and Azrael's relationship. I hope you all will like this chapter and really enjoy it. The next chapter will be out soon, so please review me to let me know how I'm doing and Enjoy:-) Now... On With The Story!

The next morning was complete bliss between Sweeney and Azrael, for when they woke they found their limbs entangled within each other and both nestled very close to one another. Azrael was the first to open her eyes and saw that Sweeney was awake staring at her intently. Azrael smiled at him and then gently nuzzled her face into his chest. "Good morning…" she said softly. Sweeney smirked and then pulled her tighter against him "Morning…" Azrael snuggled further into his chest and felt his heart beat as she softly whispered. "How'd you sleep?" Sweeney's smirk then grew even bigger as he placed a kiss on top of her head. "Perfectly since my little dream catcher has been with me through the whole night singing Irish tunes so they'll not pester my dreams." Azrael giggled at this, then gently moved up to look at him, and then gently caressed his face. "Who knew that nightmares fear Irish tunes." Sweeney then nodded trying to give her a serious look as he took her hand and kissed it. "Oh yes very terrifying especially if it is sung off tune." Azrael scoffed at him and gently shoved him. "Wanker! I wasn't singing off tune." Sweeney then chuckled as he pulled her back to him again. "Keep tellin yerself tha darlin." Azrael rolled her eyes while she sighed and then gently rested her head back on his chest. "I wasn't singing off tune…," she said in a pouting tone.

Sweeney chuckled at the woman before him and then suddenly thought about the question he asked her last night and then asked. "Did you mean it?" he asked softly with hope in his voice.

Azrael then looked up at him and gave him a confused look "mean what?" she asked.

Sweeney sighed and then looked up into Azrael's eyes. "That you will stay, once all this is over, you'll stay with me." Azrael then smiled up at him, then placed a soft kiss on his lips, and then rested her forehead against his. "I meant every word Sweeney; I'll stay here as long as you want me here." She said softly to him. Sweeney gave her a ghost of a smile and then gently turned Azrael onto her back and was now on top of her. He stared deeply into her eyes and then leaned down to kiss her, the kiss was soft and sweet at first but it then turned to be more deep and passionate; Azrael wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss while Sweeney wrapped Azrael's legs around his waist. He then gently placed a hot trail of warm kisses from her jaw line, down to her collarbone down to her breasts; Sweeney nuzzled his face against her breast while his hand was massaging the other. Sweeney then gently placed his lips on her tip and gently kissed, and nipped and sucked on her breast while his thumb was rolling the tip on the other. Azrael moaned from the wonderful sensations she was receiving from him and then arched her hips against his causing him to moan as well. Sweeney then released his attention from Azrael's breast, then moved back up, gently kissed her neck, and once again found her lips. Sweeney gave Azrael a deep passionate kiss as he thrusted his hips into hers causing them both to gasp against each other's lips as they both felt the seizing pleasure that was entering through their bodies. Sweeney started to thrust into Azrael in a slower motion trying to take in ever amount of pleasure, but Azrael's moans were so delicious that he could not resist thrusting harder and deeper inside of her. Azrael arched her back and starting to moan even louder. "Oh bloody hell!" she said breathlessly as the two continued their dance. Azrael then how close she was coming and then grabbed the sheets that were on the bed, and broke the kiss, then thrashed her head to the side arching her back. "Sweeney…" Sweeney moan against Azrael's neck thrusting even deeper and harder wanting himself to have every inch of this woman before him and then clenched his fists on the same sheets giving her one last powerful thrust until he felt himself climax. As soon as Sweeney came, Azrael came as well, both of them screaming each other's names as they both rode out their climax. Sweeney then collapsed onto Azrael holding her tightly against him. "Oh bloody hell… oh damn…" he whispered breathlessly as he and Azrael were breathing heavily, Sweeney gently laid his head down on her chest and wrapped his arms around her waist, as Azrael played with his hair.

Azrael smiled down at him and softly whispered in Gaelic "O môr henion i dhu: Ely siriar, el síla Ai! Aníron Undómiel Tiro! El eria e mor. I 'lir en el luitha 'uren. Ai! Aniron..."

Sweeney sighed and then gently rose his head up to look at her and had a little smirk on his face. "And what was that, that came out of those sweet lips of yours?"

Azrael giggled as she placed a soft kiss on his lips and then leaned back down onto the pillow. "It means from darkness I understand the night: dreams flow, a star shines Ah! I desire Evenstar look! A star rises out of the darkness the song of the star enchants my heart Ah! I desire..."

Sweeney smirked at her, finding this woman completely unique, and then placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Ever a poet…" Azrael smiled at him and softly sat herself up causing him to move off her. "Maybe it's considering on whether you're deciding to bake me or not since Poet's are on the menu this week." Sweeney chuckled as he watched Azrael move out of the bed and gently grab his shirt and wrapped herself in it. "Well I'll make sure to keep your poetic nature a secret because I do not want you to be baked anytime soon." Azrael smirked at him and softy shook her head. "Speaking of baking and food, I'm starting to get a little peckish would you like anything?" Sweeney sighed. "I am peckish but not for food." He said with a devilish smirk on his face. Azrael then rolled her eyes with an endearing smile on her face. "Bloody hell old man aren't you exhausted?" Sweeney then glared at her for referring him to an old man and then sat up from the bed. "Who are you calling old?" Azrael giggled as she went to pick up her dress and garments. "Why you silly!" Sweeney continued to glare at her while he wrapped the sheet around his waist and rose up from the bed. "Come here and I'll show you how old I am…," he said grimly with a ghost of a smile on his face. Azrael smirked at him and softly shook her head "I'm sorry Mr. Todd but if I don't get anything in me belly I think I'm going to faint." Sweeney sighed while he walked up to her and placed his hands on her shoulders and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Hurry back…" Azrael smiled and gently pecked him on the lips "I will don't worry." She said softly as she moved away from him and walked out of the room. Once Azrael was fully out of Sweeney's room she then walked into her, placed on a new dress, fixed her hair up while she freshened herself up. Once Azrael was finished, she then gently folded Sweeney's shirt and placed it on top of her bed and then gently walked out of her room and went down the stairs.

Once Azrael made it down the stairs she was Mrs. Lovett sitting in the booth as if she was waiting for her, Azrael suddenly paled realizing that Mrs. Lovett could've heard what they did last night and possibly this morning and must be infuriated with her. Azrael sighed figuring that she should just get this over with, walked further into the room, and gave Mrs. Lovett a pleasant smile. "Good morning Mrs. Lovett." She said happily hoping that her voice didn't deceive how nervous she was. But to Azrael's surprise Mrs. Lovett grinned at her and gently moved out of the booth and walked up to Azrael. "Good morning to you too darling!" she said happily which really worried Azrael.

Mrs. Lovett then grabbed Azrael's arm and pulled her towards the booth. "Come darling have a seat with me, it get's so quiet in the mornings." She said softly.

Azrael was amazed that this woman wasn't scorning her, but figured that maybe Mrs. Lovett didn't hear them after all. So, Azrael sat down in the booth across from Mrs. Lovett who was pouring Azrael some tea. "How was your morning Mrs. Lovett?" Azrael asked.

Mrs. Lovett smiled at Azrael and placed the cup of tea right in front of her. "Oh well dear and yourself?" Azrael sighed as she took a sip out of her tea and placed it back down. "Well I suppose…"

Mrs. Lovett nodded as she too took a sip out of hers. "That's good to hear dear, it sounded like you had a very busy night…" Azrael's eyes widened now knowing that Mrs. Lovett knew. "Um… yes I suppose I did…," she said softly. Mrs. Lovett then grinned at her. "Oh dear I can't tell you how happy am I to see that you and Mr. T have became closer." Azrael then arched her brow completely confused on to what this woman was doing. "You are?" Mrs. Lovett then nodded giving her a bigger grin. "Oh yes! Extremely happy and good for you dear for being so strong in dealing with the fact that you look just like Mr. T's late wife." Azrael's eyes then widened in surprise and felt the need to know more. "Excuse me?" she asked softly, Mrs. Lovett then pretended to look like she was surprised by Azrael's comment and acted as if she was flustered. "Oh dear! He hasn't told you now has he?" she asked worriedly.

Azrael arched her brow now really worried on what she was hearing. "No he hasn't… what do you think is going on Mrs. Lovett?" she asked, Mrs. Lovett sighed and slowly shook her head. "Oh you poor dear… I hope he's not leading on your heart that would be just horrible." Azrael frowned and started to stare down at her teacup. "You think he's using me because I resemble her?" she asked with sorrow in her voice. Mrs. Lovett then pretended to frown and gently nodded her head. "fraid so luv, I know you don't want to be hearin this but I feel it is for your own good especially if he hasn't told you that you look just like her or what she even looks like… I mean it's very obvious dear the blonde hair and blue eyes, the same facial expressions only difference is your physique… she's was much thinner than you. but I wouldn't get my hopes up to much deary he may be just looking for a companion since he was in that jail for so long…" she then took a sip of her tea. "You know what that could do to a man ya know… after all they do have their needs." Azrael nodded and then let out a gentle sigh. "Yes they do…," she said softly now rising up from her seat. Mrs. Lovett looked up at Azrael and pretended to have a worried look on her face. "Where are you going dear? You haven't ate yet." Azrael frowned and slowly moved out of the booth. "I'm not very hungry Mrs. Lovett, I think I'm going to go to my room and lay down for a bit." Mrs. Lovett gave Azrael a concerned look and nodded. "Alright dear, I'll call for you if I need you." she said softly, Azrael nodded and then gently walked up the stairs not noticing the evil grin Mrs. Lovett had on her face.

Once Azrael was, finally up the stairs she felt tears stinging her eyes… "How could I be so stupid to believe that he actually felt something for me? Of course, he was using me after all the man did escape from prison and was there for 15 years! Damn Azrael why are you so bloody naïve!" she muttered to herself, as she was about to walk into her room but a masculine voice stopped her from her making to her destination. "Azzie?" Sweeney asked as he walked out of his room, now fully dressed.

Azrael sighed and gently turned to face him tears in her eyes, Sweeney noticed this and suddenly looked very concerned as he rushed up to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Azzie what's the matter?" he asked worriedly.

Azrael suddenly glared at the man before her and roughly shoved him off her. "Get the bloody hell away from me!" she shouted. Sweeney suddenly looked very confused at the woman before him and tried to walk back up to her and touch her. "Azzie what's wrong? Why are you so upset!?" Azrael glared at him and pushed him away from her once again. "How could you! knowing what I've been through, knowing that I have been through hell and this is how you treat me?"

Sweeney was now really confused at this moment and noticed that she opened her door and stormed in, Sweeney quickly rushed in after her and slammed the door shut anger now seeping through his veins. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT?!" he shouted.

Azrael quickly turned around to face him, glaring at him "You know damn well what I'm talking about! Is that why begged me? Is it why you begged me to tell you that I'm not her!? So you can hear it yourself so you wouldn't feel so bad for using me!" she shouted.

Sweeney was suddenly very angry and grabbed Azrael and pulled her towards him. "Where is this all bloody coming from Azrael? Where the hell did you get this damn thought in your head!?!" He shouted. Azrael glared at him and shoved him off her. "It doesn't matter where I got the damn Idea from! What matters is that you're using me because I resemble your wife!" Sweeney was now suddenly shocked from Azrael's outburst and couldn't help but feel hurt from said outburst. "I'M NOT USING YOU AZRAEL! I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING!" he shouted, Azrael glared at him and then crossed her arms. "You wouldn't would you? Honestly Mr. Todd who do you take me for?!? You're a man with needs especially since you were in prison for 15 years! So you probably figured that since hey Azrael resembles my late wife I'll just use her and have my way with her while making her believe that I will help her and once I'm through I can just get rid of her!" Sweeney had a very grim look on his face and suddenly grabbed Azrael and slammed her against the wall his body crushing hers. "If I were as you say using you, would I have moaned your name while we were making love? Would I have allowed you to stay in my bed and beg you to stay with me once our revenge is over with? No… I would've just gotten rid of you or probably would have slit yer throat right now so I wouldn't have to listen to your squabbling!" he said in a very grim tone, Azrael glared at him still keeping her ground. "Or you could just say these things in hopes to keep me around because you're not finished with me yet…" Sweeney growled and then slammed his fist against the wall. "DAMNIT! Azrael I'm not using you! When are you bloody going to get that through your head!?!" he shouted.

Azrael looked at him hurt and gently shoved him off her. "I already have it through my head Mr. Todd… now if you excuse me I have to get ready for work." Sweeney sighed and tried to walk towards her. "Azrael…"he said softly but was then cut off by the angry woman. "No… don't give me that Azrael shite! I don't want to hear it! Now get out of my bloody room!" she shouted. Sweeney sighed and tried to talk to her again. "But Azrael…" he was then cut off by her again. "GET OUT!" she shouted throwing his shirt at him. Sweeney glared at her severely angry with the woman before him. "You want me out? Well FINE THEN! You'll have me out!" he shouted as he stormed out of the room.

Once he was gone, Azrael allowed the tears to fall and turned to look back at the mirror and saw the picture of Gerry and Shannon staring back at her. Azrael never felt more horrible in her life since Gerry and Shannon died and couldn't help but pick up the picture and carry it back to the bed and hold it against her. "Gerry, I'm so sorry…" she whispered as she allowed the tears to roll down her cheeks. "I'm so, so sorry…" she cried as she broke down into a sobbed while Sweeney was in his room throwing and thrashing things around in pure anger of what Azrael had said to him.

Meanwhile what they didn't know was that Mrs. Lovett was grinning to herself hearing both of them shouting at each other upstairs, Toby looked over at Mrs. Lovett with a concerned look on his face. "I wonder what's wrong with Miss. Azrael and Mr. Todd." Mrs. Lovett then looked over at Toby and placed her hand on his shoulder. "No worries luv probably an adult quarrel is all." However, in the back of her mind she knew all along why the two were fighting in the first place.

Later on that day, Mrs. Lovett decided that everyone needed a break and then told everyone that they should go on a picnic so she recruited Mr. Todd, Toby and Azrael and conned them into a picnic, even though Sweeney and Azrael weren't on talking terms they both went anyways figuring they both needed some fresh air. Once they made it to the spot Mrs. Lovett pulled out a blanket and laid it down on the ground while Azrael placed the basket down on top noticing Toby trying to undo the strings on his kite, Azrael smiled down at him and gently kneeled down to help him.

"Toby have you ever flew a kite before?" she asked.

Toby gently shook his head having a bit of a frown on his face. "No Miss Azrael… they never let us do such things at the shop."

Azrael frowned and then gently rose up. "well I'm gonna teach ya…" Toby then looked up at Azrael with a hopeful look. "Really Miss. Azrael?" Azrael nodded giving him a warm smile. "Of course lad now come on I don't want to be waitin all day for ya boyo." Toby then chuckled as he rose up from the blanket. "Has anyone ever told you that you talk funny?" Azrael shrugged giving him a smirk. "Everyday of me life…" Toby then suddenly frowned. "What if I can't do it?" Azrael smiled at the young boy and placed her hand on his shoulder "Nothing is as easy as it looks. Everything takes longer than you expect. And if anything can go wrong, it will, at the worst possible moment. Just know that you did yer best" Toby then smiled at her and pulled her along with him. "Then let's do it!" he said excitedly as Azrael was giggling at the young boy.

Meanwhile as Toby and Azrael were trying to fly a kite, Sweeney was sitting on the blanket along with Mrs. Lovett sulking over various things such as the fight he had with Azrael, not getting the judge or the governor and most of all the fact that Azrael would be so naïve to believe that he was using her. Mrs. Lovett on the other hand was grinning from ear to ear and then looked over at him.

"Nothing like a nice sit down, is there, dear, after a hard day's work?" she then noticed that Sweeney was still sulking and was watching Toby and Azrael trying to get the kite to fly.

Mrs. Lovett sighed and started to count the coins she received today "Four and thruppence… four and eleven pence… That makes seven pounds nine shillings and four pence for this week. Not bad and that don't include wot I had to pay out for my nice cheery wallpaper or the harmonium… And a real bargain it was, dear, it being only partly singed when the chapel burnt down." She then glanced of at Mr. Todd and noticed that he is still staring straight ahead with that sulky look on his face. "Mr. T., are you listening to me?" Sweeney sighed and muttered in a monotone voice. "Of course." Mrs. Lovett then sighed and gave him a condescending look. "Then what did I say, eh?" Sweeney shrugged still deep in thought of what happened today and what he was going to do about the Judge and Governor. "Why would she think that? She was perfectly fine this morning… and there must be a way to the Judge and Governor." Mrs. Lovett then glared at him and started to become very cross with him. "The bloody old judge and governor! Always harping on the bloody old judge and governor!" She then massages his neck. "We got a nice respectable business now, money coming in regular and since we're careful to pick and choose only strangers and such like wot won't be missed who's going to catch on? And as for Mrs. Rowena let her go, I told you the lass has to much baggage to ever be considered to have a honorable relationship and there you go! Her actions this morning should be proof to you." All she received out of him was an irritated sigh, so she gently got onto her knees and leans across and kisses his temple.

"Ooh, Mr. Todd." She then kisses him again.

"I'm so happy" she then kisses him again.

"I could" she then kisses him again

"Eat you up, I really could! You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?" she then kisses him again.

"What I dream" she kisses him again.

"If the business stays as good, Where I'd really like to go?" she received no response from him and frowned.

"In a year or so…" she still then received no response and noticed how intently he was staring at Azrael and started to look at him very irritably.

"Don't you want to know?" Sweeney didn't more nor made an effort to look over at Mrs. Lovett but dully said

"Of course…"

Mrs. Lovett then looked very irritated at him. "Do you really want to know?"

Sweeney sighed and feigned some enthusiasm. "Yes, I do…" Mrs. Lovett sighed and then sat back down and continued to sing.

"I've always had this dream... Ever since I was a skinny little slip of a thing and my rich Aunt Nettie used to take me down to the seaside August Bank Holiday... The pier... Makin' little castles in the sand... Ooh, I can still feel me toes wigglin' around in the briney! By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet, By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it! You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone in a house wot we'd almost own, Down by the sea! Wouldn't that be smashing?"

Sweeney sighed not really paying attention to her. "Anything you say..."

Mrs. Lovett then grinned at him and continued to sing. "With the sea at our gate, we'll have kippered herring wot have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering! Ev'ry night, in the kip, when we're through our kippers, I'll be there slippin' off your slippers! By the sea, With the fishies splashing! By the sea! Wouldn't that be smashing?"

Sweeney sighed once again still not really paying attention to this woman and said in a monotone voice. "Anything you say…"

Mrs. Lovett sighed and continued to sing. " I can hear us wakin,' The breakers breakin,' The seagulls squawkin,' 'Hoo, hoo!'" while she sings this she thinks she's being charming; but Mr. Todd looks at her in terror. "I do me bakin,' Then I go walkin' With you-hoo! Yoo-hoo! I'll warm me bones on the esplanade, Have tea and scones with me gay young blade, Then I'll knit a sweater While you write a letter Unless we've got better to do-hoo!"

Sweeney sighed and then shrugged his shoulders still keeping a close eye on Azrael who was now pull on the flying kite and now handing it to Toby. "Anything you say…"

Mrs. Lovett then smiled at him and continued to sing. "Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel When it's just you and me and the English Channel! In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy, We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday! By the sea! Don'tcha love the weather? By the sea! We'll grow old together! By the seaside Hoo, hoo! By the beautiful sea! Oh, I can see us now, in our bathing dresses! You in a nice, rich navy, and me... stripes, perhaps. It'll be so quiet, That who'll come by it, Except a seagull Hoo, hoo! We shouldn't try it, Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo! But a seaside wedding could be devised, Me rumpled bedding legitimized! Me eyelids'll flutter, I'll turn into butter, the moment I mutter I do-hoo!"

Sweeney the looks over at her appalled while she continues to sing. "By the sea, in our nest, we could share our kippers with the odd payin' guest from the weekend trippers, have a nice sunny suite for the guest to rest in, now and then, you could do the guest in! By the sea, married nice and proper! By the sea, Bring along your chopper! To the seaside, Hoo, hoo! By the beautiful sea!" she sang happily.

She then looked over at Mr. Todd and smiled at him as he still had his sulky look on his face. "Come on, dear. Give us a kiss." She then pecks him. "Ooh, that was lovely. Now, Mr. T., you do love me just a little bit, don't you?"

Sweeney was still ignoring her and had his arms crossed. "Of course." He muttered not really paying attention to her since his thoughts were somewhere else.

Mrs. Lovett took it wrongly though and grinned at him. "Then how about it? Of course, there'd have to be a little visit to St. Swithin's to legalize things. But that wouldn't be too painful, would it?"

Sweeney sighed going back to his obsession with his plan and the fight he had earlier with Azrael. "I'll make them pay for what they did to Lucy, and there has to be a way to get Azzie to talk to me…" Mrs. Lovett sighed and slowly shook her head starting to get irritated with this man. "Now, dear, you listen to me. It's high time you forgot all them morbid fancies. Your Lucy's gone, poor thing and Mrs. Rowena was just a mistake. It's your Nellie now. Here." She then takes a bon-bon from her purse "Have a nice bon-bon." She then kisses him and has a thought "You know, it's seventeen years this Whitsun since my poor Albert passed on. I don't see why I shouldn't be married in white, do you?" she asked, but she didn't receive an answer since Azrael and Toby came back laughing. "Miss. Azrael where on earth do you come up with these stories?" Azrael started to laugh as she sat down on the blanket along with him. "Haven't ya heard boyo that the Irish are the best storytellers?" Toby then shook his head. "Why is that because you have so much history in the emerald isles?" he asked. Azrael then started to laugh. "No lad it's because we can pull anythin out of our blarney arse and make it sound believable!" Toby then started to burst out into laughter along with Azrael while Sweeney was still sulking and Mrs. Lovett was rolling her eyes.

Just then, a ball comes flying and hit's Azrael in the back. "Ow bugger that hurt!" she muttered irritably as she turned around and picked up the ball, just then two boys probably one looked to be at the age of 7 while the other looked to be the age of 5 ran up to her. "I'm sorry miss, I'm teachin me brother how to kick and he must've kicked it to hard." The older boy said. Azrael smiled at the boys and handed them their ball "it's alright lad, the younger one has quite a kick." The boys smiled at her and was about to answer until they heard an older man chuckling. "That's what I tell his mother but she doesn't believe me." Azrael then looked up and smiled at the man before her. "Why Mr. Miller what a delight to see you again!" she said excitedly as she rose up from the blanket not noticing the chilling glare Sweeney was giving Daniel.

Daniel smiled at Azrael and bowed to her. "And a delight to see you to Miss. Azrael. But I apologize for my nephews they didn't mean to hit you with the ball."

Azrael then smiled at Daniel and shrugged her shoulders. "No worries boys will be boys." She said giving them a warm grin. Daniel chuckled and gently shrugged his shoulders. "You're right on that."

Just then, Mrs. Lovett grinned up at the younger gentleman and figured that he would be the perfect distraction for Azrael. "Why don't you have a seat darling and enjoy our picnic?" Daniel then smiled at Mrs. Lovett and gently shook his head. "Oh no I couldn't impose." Mrs. Lovett then shook her head at him. "Oh don't be foolish you wouldn't be imposing."

Sweeney then glared over at Mrs. Lovett "Mrs. Lovett let the lad be if he feels he's imposing then he has a reason." He said sternly but then noticed the glare Azrael was giving him.

"No it's really fine Daniel your more than welcome to sit with us." She said softly, Daniel smiled at her and then sat down. "Well I guess it's alright then." Azrael smiled at him and then looked over at Toby. "Toby why don't you show the boys a proper way to kick a ball will ya luv?" Toby then nodded and then rose up and leads the boys off to a different part of the park. Azrael smiled as she watched the boys go off and then looked over at Daniel. "Nephews ya say? Lovely chaps they are." Daniel then nodded. "They are but trust me they can be monsters." Azrael then started to laugh. "Aren't all children though? I'm sure yer wife would agree." Daniel then smirked at Azrael and shrugged. "If I had a wife I assume she would…" Azrael then suddenly looked surprised. "Oh I'm sorry I just thought…" she then was cut of by Daniel who was laughing. "It is quite all right no worries Miss. Azrael." Azrael smiled at him not noticing how infuriated Sweeney was and continued to talk to Daniel. "So tell me how is it a lad like you isn't married? What do you have an extra finger or toe? Or is it a case of Halitosis that you suffer from?" Daniel chuckled at her and shook his head. "I can assure you it has nothing to do with my breath nor my fingers or toes… I just haven't met the right lass yet." Azrael then placed up her index finger up and smirked at him. "Ah tha could be a toughie cause ya know they say that the world is an ocean full of fish but how can you get the proper fish if you don't have the proper equipment nor worm?" Daniel chuckled at Azrael and shook his head. "Has anyone told you that you talk oddly?" Azrael then rolled her eyes. "Second time today! But it's an interesting philosophy I have in me life." Daniel then smirked at her. "Ah a life philosophy? I'd love to hear it." Azrael then shrugged her shoulders. "It's actually an Irishman's Philosophy for life but I go by it all the same." Daniel then shrugged. "Now I have to hear this said philosophy of yours." Azrael grinned at him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Be ready for a tale it may be a long one or it may be a short one depending on how I feel." She then notices Daniel laughing while Mrs. Lovett was snickering at Azrael's silliness while Sweeney looked like he was going to slice Daniel's throat right there. Azrael ignored it and then looked over at Daniel. "ya ready lad?" Daniel then nodded. "yes ma'am" Azrael then nodded. "Alright then now listen to me words closely for these words are very important." She then clears her throat and starts to recite her philosophy. "In life, there are only two things to worry about either you are well or you are sick. If you are well, there is nothing to worry about, But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, there is nothing to worry about, but if you die, there are only two things to worry about either you will go to heaven or hell. If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about. And if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends you won't have time to worry! That's why The Irish are very forgiving to their great men but that's only when they are safely buried." She said with a little smirk on her face noticing Daniel then just burst into laughter. "I take it ya like tha."

Daniel then nodded. "You have a very funny sense of humor."

Azrael smiled at him and nodded. "tha's what my Gerry used to tell me, buggering man used to drive me crazy." Daniel then looked over at her and suddenly a little frown appeared on his face. "Is Gerry your husband?" Azrael sighed and gently nodded her head. "Aye he was… he and me little Shannon was all the family I needed but they are in heaven now… and I know exactly what Gerry would tell me right at this moment." She said with a sad smile on her face, just then Sweeney had a look of remorse on his face and then asked. "What would he say?"

Azrael looked over at him with tears in her eyes. "He would have said to me Az, don't you stand at my grave and weep, I am not there... I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow... I am the diamond glints on snow... I am the sunlight on ripened grain... I am the gentle autumn rain. When you waken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of gentle birds in circling flight... I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there... I did not die..." Azrael then felt tears rolling down her cheeks and quickly wiped them away. "Of course he was always a bloody blighter like tha always tryin to make things difficult; but of course I had to marry the cute Irishman with the charming personality. Bugger that man made me so angry at times…"

Mrs. Lovett then giggled. "Oh he couldn't have been tha bad."

Azrael then nodded. "Oh he wasn't but it doesn't mean that his antics had gone unnoticed."

She then started to laugh. "I remember this one time he came home at 3 a.m. in the morning from the Pub drunk as drunk can be with his mates right? And of course Shannon had been keeping me up all night and I finally got her to sleep well in comes Gerry and his boisterous horde of nimrods making all sorts of racket waking Shannon up. Oh I was so bloody angry I kicked out all of his gits and forced him to sleep outside with the pigs!" she muttered hotly still angry over the situation.

Mrs. Lovett then arched her brow. "Why not have him sleep on the couch?"

Azrael then shook her head. "Oh no the couch would have been to good for him he needed to be out with the pigs where he belonged… and trust me after that incident he never did it again." Mrs. Lovett started to giggle while Sweeney and Daniel were staring at her; Daniel then smirked at her and gently tilted his head to the side. "You know what I noticed about you Miss Azrael?"

Azrael then looked over at him and gave him a confused look. "What would that be Mr. Miller?" Daniel then smiled at her. "That your eyes can give away what mood you are having at that moment." Azrael's eyes widened while Sweeney was about to kill this man right then and there. "Really Mr. Miller how do you say that?" she asked. Daniel smiled at her and shrugged. "when you were talking about your story about Gerry you were really happy making your eyes as blue as the sky but when you were talking about his and Shannon's death your eyes turned into this really dark blue almost as if there was a hurricane burrowing through those eyes. It's quite fetching on you…" Azrael grinned at him and started to blush. "Awww you are too sweet! How is it yer not married yet mate?" Daniel then shrugged giving her a sincere grin. "Like I said earlier Miss. Azrael I haven't found the right woman yet." Azrael smiled at him and then gently rose up from the blanket. "Well it's getting late would you like to walk me back to the shop Mr. Miller?" Sweeney's eyes widened and then quickly rose up off the blanket. "That won't be necessary I will walk her." Daniel then quickly rose up and shook his head. "Oh it's no trouble I wouldn't mind walking Miss. Azrael if you two still want to stay here." Sweeney then quickly shook his head. "No we all were just about to leave so there's no worries." He said trying to pull off a charming grin but Azrael and Mrs. Lovett knew better, Daniel frowned and then gently nodded his head. "Oh alright then, well I guess I should be getting the boys back to their mother, I will see you at the shop Miss. Azrael." Azrael gave him a sad smile and gently nodded. "I guess you will." And with that Daniel grabbed the boys and headed off once he was gone Azrael quickly turned and glared at Sweeney. "WELL I HOPE YOUR BLOODY HAPPY!" she shouted.

As she stormed off back to the shop, Sweeney sighed and started to rush off after her knowing that there was a chance that the Governor or one of his Henchmen would recognize her and to their dismay, they did. One of the Governor's henchmen were walking out of a shop when he noticed the blonde beauty storming down the street with the barber hot on her tail along with the woman who makes those pies and a boy. The man smirked and quickly ran off to tell the Governor where Azrael was hiding.

Meanwhile Azrael stormed into the shop and quickly walked up the stairs with Sweeney hot on her tail. "AZRAEL!" he shouted as he ran up the stairs after her. Mrs. Lovett sighed knowing that he didn't mean a thing while they were at the field and actually felt foolish for even believing him, however when Azrael made it into her room she heard her door slam open and then slam shut. She quickly turned around and saw an infuriated Mr. Todd.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AZRAEL?!" he shouted.

Azrael then glared at him. "How dare you storm into my room and demand anything from me Mr. Todd I want you out of here this instant!" Sweeney gritted his teeth and then slammed her up against the wall. "You will tell me what all that was about with you and Mr. Miller… and you will tell me now!" he said very grimly, Azrael tried to push Sweeney off her but to her dismay, she couldn't fight him off. "What do you care Mr. Todd what I do or who I talk to in my spare time! Is no bloody concern of yours!" Sweeney then slammed her against the wall with his body pinning hers. "It is a concern of mine Azrael… your mine and for you to go off and be sweet on some other git is unacceptable!" he shouted. Azrael had enough and tried to fight him off her. "I'm not yours Mr. Todd! I'll never be yours nor will I ever want to be!" she shouted. Sweeney then had a very grim and sadistic smirk on his face. "Oh… is that right?" he said in a very dangerous tone and then lifted her up placing her back against the wall and forcing her to wrap her legs around his waist. Azrael shrieked and started pushing his shoulders trying to get him to let go of her but this didn't even faze him. For he had a wicked grin on his face as he lean down to her neck and placed soft kisses on her sensitive flesh. "Tell me you don't want me…," he said seductively. Azrael shuddered hating how her body was betraying her but still tried to fight against him. "I don't want you…" Sweeney smirked and continued to kiss her neck and nip at her sensitive spot. "your body is tell me something else darling…" he said once again in a seductive tone, Azrael had to bite back a moan as she felt one of his hands gliding against the flesh of her thigh. "You seem to be mistaken Mr. Todd." she said stubbornly, but this caused Sweeney to chuckle hearing how her voice was cracking. "Oh have I now? Well I guess I'll just have to keep going to see how much I've mistaken."

And with that he took his hand off her thigh and cupped his hand on her breast against the fabric of her dress and worked his skilled fingers against the material making the tip of her breast suddenly become aroused while Azrael released an involuntary moan. Sweeney smirked at this and then gave Azrael a quick kiss on the lips "tell me your mine…" Azrael arched her back but gritted her teeth not willing to succumb to him yet. "Never! Now let me go!" she shouted, Sweeney smirked at her and gently shook his head. "Not yet darling. Not until you admit who you belong to."

And with that Sweeney lifted her skirts up and then pulled off her undergarments and then unbuckled his belt and pants and inserted himself right into her causing them both to moan. Sweeney without any notice to Azrael started to thrust deep and hard inside her. "Tell me!" he muttered as he gritted his teeth, Azrael moaned, now placing her hands on his shoulder for support. "Never!" she said giving him a disgusted look but tilted her head back and gasped from the pleasure he was giving her. Sweeney once again thrusted his hips against hers and smirked at her. "Tell me that Daniel mean's nothing to you!" He muttered in his dark raspy voice, and then thrusted hard into her. Azrael moaned once again, arching her back. "I don't have to tell you anything!" she said breathlessly. Sweeney was literally squeezing Azrael's hips knowing that, there will be bruises there soon but couldn't resist this woman was the most savory dessert he has ever had. "Tell me Azrael! Tell me that you belong to me" he then thrust's into her. "Tell me that Daniel mean's nothing to you." he thrusted into her again. "tell me that you yearn for me…" he once again thrusted into her and moaned. "Tell me that since your husband that you have never craved a man like you have for me… Damnit tell me!" Azrael then lets out a loud moan knowing for sure anyone who was downstairs would have heard her but didn't care at this moment. "Oh bloody hell! Fine I'm yours! I'm yours! He mean's nothing to me!" she shouted.

Sweeney then grinned at her, and then pulled her away from the wall and then laid her down on her bed and continued to thrust harder into her and moaned. "Oh bloody hell Azzie you see what you do to me?" Azrael then gasped from another wave of pleasure. "ugh… now you tell me Mr. Todd." Sweeney gritted his teeth knowing that he was going to climax soon. "Tell you what Azzie?" he asked somewhat strained as he continued to rhythmically thrust his hips against hers. "That you're mine…" she said breathlessly knowing that she to was going to climax soon. Sweeney then smirked at her and gave her a passionate kiss "I'm yours…" Azrael smirked at him and then suddenly with one more thrust from Sweeney the both came instantly moaning each other's name over and over again.

As the couple rode out their climax, Sweeney then collapsed on top of Azrael and then gave her a deep passionate kiss, he then broke the kiss and gently rolled off her and onto his side and pulled her against him. "Bloody hell Azzie, you can drive a man insane you know that?" Azrael rested her head against his chest and nodded. "So I have been told…" she said breathlessly and then looked up at him with a bit of sadness in her eyes. "Sweeney tell me the truth…" she said softly. Sweeney looked up at her noticing the sad look and frowned. "Azzie I'm not using you… yes you and Lucy have blonde hair and blue eyes but other than that you two are completely different people. And I would never use you or compare you to my wife Azzie. You both are special in your own ways, I just wished you felt good enough with me…" he said with a bit of sorrow in his voice. Azrael looked up at him, then gently moved out of his arms, and then sighed.

"I'm under your spell again. I can't say no to you. Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand. I can't say no to you."

She then gently caresses his cheek.

"Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly. Now I can't let go of this dream. I can't breathe but I feel... "

She then gives him a sideways smile.

"Good enough, I feel good enough for you."

Sweeney then gives her a small smile as he places his hand on top of hers.

"Drink up sweet decadence. I can't say no to you, and I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind. I can't say no to you."

She then gently shakes her head.

"Shouldn't let you conquer me completely. Now I can't let go of this dream. Can't believe that I feel... Good enough, I feel good enough. It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good. "

She then rises up from the bed and gently wraps her arms around herself.

"And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall. Pour real life down on me."

She then stares at the picture of Gerry and Shannon.

"'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough."

She then turns back to see and faces him.

"Am I good enough for you to love me too?"

she then sighs and then looks back at the pictures and softly smiles at it.

"So take care what you ask of me, 'cause I can't say no."

Sweeney then walked up behind Azrael, wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and continued stared at the photo of Gerry and Shannon along with her.
