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:-)

P.S. I want to give a shout out thanks to Rock Royalty, KageMori and to everyone who has been giving me the wonderful reviews:) You all have been a great motivation to me and want to thank you all for taking the time to read my story. So once again thanks!

Before Azrael could fall down onto the ground, Sweeney quickly caught her and picked her up bridal style holding her very close to his body. "Azzie please! Please don't die!" he begged noticing how limp she was in his arms, he then quickly turned to look over at Johanna. "There's a doctor next door to the shop go and get him now!" Johanna quickly nodded and ran off to grab the doctor leaving Sweeney alone with Azrael.

As Sweeney stared down at her, his eyes started to well up in tears. "What have I done? Azzie luv please… please don't leave me… please luv… there's just so much… so much that…" he muttered but wasn't able to come out with the words, he then gently laid her down on the bed seeing her breathing starting to become more shallow. "Darling please you can't leave me! You promised that you'll stay… you bloody promised!" he shouted furious with himself. Just then, Johanna came back with the doctor who quickly walked up to the bed. "How did this happen?" he asked noticing her state and seeing all the blood on Sweeney's face. Sweeney sighed and was about to answer him until Johanna cuts him off. "My father was walking really quickly to grab something and almost tripped and his wife went to go catch him and he accidentally slashed the blade against her." She said in a quick manner, Sweeney was shocked to see his daughter stand up for him and make up a story to prevent him from getting in trouble with the law, he then heard the doctor ask Mr. Todd. "Is this true?", He then quickly nodded. "Yes… but can you save her? Will she live?!?" he asked frantically. The doctor sighed examining Azrael and frowned. "It looks like she lost a lot of blood but I'll do my best to help her…" Sweeney nodded, hoping and praying that Azrael will be ok… Just then, they all heard a woman scream from downstairs causing Sweeney to quickly rise up from the bed. "What was that?" Johanna asked worriedly. Sweeney then quickly looked over at her. "I'll go check… you stay here with her. I don't want her alone with a strange man in the room even if he is only a doctor…" Johanna nodded and then sat down in Sweeney's place on the bed and gently held Azrael's hand as the doctor was examining her.

Sweeney then quickly rushed out of the room to find out what was going on with Mrs. Lovett, he then rushed down into the bake house hearing her shouting at something and once he walked in, he saw her dragging a body towards the furnace. "Why did you scream?" Mrs. Lovett then quickly looked up at him while she was dragging the body. "He was clutching, holding onto my dress… but he's finished now." She said nervously. Sweeney nodded wanting to get this over with so he could get back to Azrael and stormed up to her. "I'll take care of it." He muttered as he came closer to her. "Open the door…" he said calmly but then noticed she wont budge from the body so he stormed up to her and roughly pushes her away from it. "Open the door I said!" he said a little more firmly. Mrs. Lovett gave him a very worried look but then walked over to the oven and opened the door having the growing fire illuminate the bodies. Sweeney stared down at the Judge and smirked at his accomplishment… finally now he had his revenge, and finally now he and Azrael can live in peace, he only hoped that she would be able to live to hear the news. He then gently cleaned his hands, stared down at the beggar woman, and realized that she was extremely familiar. As he kneeled down to examine her further, he then gently turned her to face him and realized who this woman was… she was his wife. Sweeney stared down at her in shock and couldn't help but feel his heart drop as he placed her onto his lap.

"Don't I know you she said.?" He whispered as he stared down at her.

Realizing that not only is Azrael on the brink of death but he had killed his wife as well. He then gently shook his head in disbelief "you knew she lived." He said in disbelief to Mrs. Lovett not even bothering to look at her. Mrs. Lovett's eyes started to well up in tears and gently shook her head. "I was only thinking of you…" Sweeney then finally looked up at her. "You lied to me…" Mrs. Lovett then quickly shook her head.

"No, no, not lied at all no I never lied…"

Sweeney then looked back down at his Wife and sadly sang her name.

"Lucy…" He then heard Mrs. Lovett starting to sing really fast as she gently walked up to him.

"Said she took a poison, she did, I've never said that she died! poor thing, come she lived, but it left her weak in the home head all she did for months was just lie again there in bed. Should have been in…"

Sweeney then once again sang her name.

"Lucy…"

Mrs. Lovett then continued to sing.

"Hospital, wound up in bedlam instead…"

Sweeney then rose up onto his feet feeling the rage that was seeping through his body from this woman.

"Oh… my God!"

While Mrs. Lovett finally confessed in her singing.

"Was dead, yes I lied cause I love you."

Sweeney ignored her, continued to stare at his deceased wife, and softly sang her name once again.

"Lucy…"

While Mrs. Lovett continued to tell him her confession.

"I'd be twice the wife she was I…"

She was then cut off by Sweeney who finally looked up at the furnace with complete remorse on his face.

"What have I done?"

He sang realizing that Lucy is never coming back and there may be a chance that his Azzie will never come back as well all because of his rage and yearning for revenge. He then heard Mrs. Lovett continue to sing to him.

"Could that thing have cared for you, like me? Azrael knew all along that she was your wife but never said a thing… I love you, that girl you yearn for will never be half the woman I am… because I love you… she will eventually burn you because she doesn't love you… Mr. T don't you see that we're meant to be… not she. Mrs. Rowena is only a phase and she will never love you! She is probably only using you; I wish you can see that she is nothing but a waste of your time… She knew all along that your wife was the beggar woman but she kept it from you. Because she needed you! Don't you see she'll never love you, only I will always love you. Mr. T don't you see that we're meant for each other my darling…"

Sweeney had enough of hearing from her and was tired of hearing her accuse Azrael of acting upon such an act. He knew his Azzie would never do a thing like that, and when the realization came to the point, where he realized that this whole time Mrs. Lovett betrayed him and lied to him about Lucy was the last straw. Therefore, Sweeney quickly turned to face Mrs. Lovett his eyes snapping up towards hers.

"Mrs. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder eminently practical, and yet Appropriate as always as you've said, repeatedly, there's little point in dwelling on the past. For you were right about Azrael I should've never have even gave her a second thought."

He then starts to step towards her, while she steps back unsure of what he was going to do. Sweeney gave her a grim smirk and started to wave his hands for her to come to him.

"Now come here, my love, nothing left to fear my love what's dead, is dead."

Mrs. Lovett then looked at him in surprise, felt him grab her, and started to waltz with her. Mrs. Lovett smiled at him in hopes that he really wasn't angry with her and started to sing. "Do you mean it? Everything I did, I swear, I thought was only for the best believe me, can we, still be, married?" Sweeney emotionlessly stared at her as they continued the waltz, keeping his eyes completely on hers.

"The history of the world, my pet…"

Mrs. Lovett then grinned at him as the continued to dance.

"Oh Mr. Todd, ooh Mr. Todd, Leave it to me"

Sweeney then continued to sing.

"Is learn forgiveness, and try, to forget…"

Mrs. Lovett was now all smiles thinking that Sweeney will really forgive her and then sang.

"Don't you see, Mr. Todd, we'll be comfy cozy, you and me Mr. Todd, where there's no one nosey."

Sweeney then gave her a devious smirk knowing that Mrs. Lovett is falling for it.

"And life is for the alive, my dear so let's keep living it."

They both then sing in unison.

"Just keep living it…"

Sweeney then gritted his teeth as they finally came close to the furnace. Then finally sang in unison once again.

"Really living it!"

And with that he flung Mrs. Lovett right into the furnace watching her be burned alive. He then, slammed the door shut watching her through the little window until he had enough and closed the window shut hearing her screaming and pounding on the door.

Meanwhile back upstairs Azrael finally awoken and saw Johanna and a man standing over at her. Johanna gasped and quickly hugged Azrael. "Oh thank God your ok!" she said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "We thought we lost you!" Azrael gently hugged Johanna and softly whispered. "I'm alright luv, it'll take a lot more to get rid of me… Where's yer father?" she asked weakly. Johanna then pulled back, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "He's downstairs." She then looked over at the Doctor who was packing all his equipment up. "The Doctor fixed you Azrael, he said that the blade didn't penetrate any organs and it just made a deep scratch so he bandaged you and injected some pain medication to ease the pain…" Azrael nodded and then looked up at the Doctor. "Thank you…," she whispered. The doctor nodded and gave her a warm smile. "It is no problem Mrs. Todd, yer Husband was very worried for you. However, there is something else I must tell you before I leave. And it will be a life altering thing for you, are you ready to hear it?" Azrael slowly nodded worried on what he was going to tell her but decided to hear it. "Yes… I'm ready…," she said worriedly has her and Johanna held hands to prepare for what the doctor was going to tell them. Meanwhile back downstairs. Sweeney then looked back at Lucy his heart breaking once again realizing that Lucy will be gone forever and it's all his fault… and that is when the thought of if Azrael ever made it through this it would be better if he was no longer there, for he would cause her the same pain he caused his wife. He then gently walked up to Lucy and stared down at her, he then dropped his blade and kneeled down, picked her up, and laid her on his lap. He felt tears welling up in his eyes now realizing that he has lost two women that he deeply cares for in one night all because of his rage and as he stared down at his beloved he couldn't help but see all the memories of he and her and baby Johanna flash through his mind. He then softly sang to his deceased wife feeling his tears roll down his cheeks. "There was a barber and his wife, and she was beautiful…" He then heard some noise come from behind him knowing that it must be Toby but ignored it knowing his fate and continued to sing. "A foolish barber and his wife, she was his reason and his life, and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous, and he was…" He then knew Toby picked up his blade and bared his throat for Toby to slice through it, Toby was just about to until they both hear a woman shout.

"NO!!!"

Toby quickly grabbed Sweeney's hair and placed the blade against his neck as the saw the woman who scream weakly rush up towards them, as the woman came closer they both saw that it was Azrael. "TOBY NO PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM!" she shouted, as she was finally in front of them, one arm across her stomach, as she was looking at the two them in terror. Sweeney stared at Azrael in shock and could not help but feel happy and sad at the moment. "Azzie?" he asked somehow feeling elated knowing that she's alive. Azrael had tears in her eyes and gently smiled at him. "Yes Sweeney it's me…" Toby then looked up at Azrael and glared at her. "Why should I let him live Mrs. Azrael! He's done nothing but terrorize you and Mrs. Lovett! He forced you to be in a relationship with him and just now killed Mrs. Lovett by throwing her into a furnace!" Azrael had tears in her eyes as she looked at Toby pleadingly. "Toby please don't do this… Mrs. Lovett deserved what she got don't you see? She lied to Mr. Todd about his wife; she made him believe that she was originally dead so she could have him for herself. And Mr. Todd never forced me into a relationship, I fell for him willingly." Toby then scoffed at her. "Please Mrs. Azrael you don't have to lie to me because you fear him, he's at my clutches right now and all I have to do is swipe this blade across his neck and he will never harm you again!"

Sweeney sighed knowing it would be the only way to give Azrael a better life. "Do it Toby." He said sternly.

Azrael's eyes widened as tears started to roll down her cheeks. "No! Please! Please don't do this! Sweeney please don't give up, you can't leave me!" Sweeney frowned knowing that Toby was still contemplating on doing the deed and then looked up at Azrael realizing how radiant she looked in the low light that the furnace was illuminating. "Azzie darling, you and Johanna would be much better off without me." Azrael then quickly shook her head. "No… no we wouldn't, Sweeney you made me promise you millions of times to stay with you, please promise me that you will too I need you to!" she cried, her heart breaking before her. Toby didn't look to convince when Azrael looked at him and sneered at her. "Why do you need a murder to be in your life Mrs. Azrael? Surely you can do better without him." Azrael glared at the young boy. "I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT TO YOU TOBY NOW RELEASE HIM!" She shouted. Sweeney looked up at Azrael seeing how she was trembling and wanted nothing but to hold her in his arms but he too needed to hear her reasoning, since he already knew his. "Why Azzie?" he asked in what seemed like a desperate manner. "Why do you need me here? Darling you would be so much better off…"

Azrael then quickly shook her head, her tears starting to roll faster down her cheeks. "Because I love you… Sweeney I love you… Please… How am I supposed to tell our child that the reason why you died was because you no longer wanted to live on this earth anymore?"

Sweeney's eyes widened in surprise, not only by her confession of loving him, but for confessing something that he had never expected. "Azzie you're…" Azrael then nodded her head. "Yes, Sweeney I'm pregnant." Sweeney looked at her in shock, and yet was elated. "You mean we're… we're having a baby?" Azrael nodded giving him a small smile. "Yes… we are…" Sweeney suddenly smiled at her, but then felt Toby tighten the blade across his neck. "So… you raped Mrs. Azrael and the only reason why she wants you around is so you can support her, well don't worry Mrs. Azrael I'll make sure you and your child will live a happy life. I may be small but no one's going to harm you not while I'm around." He then lifted his blade up ready to swipe it across Sweeney's neck. Azrael suddenly had a look of a fear on her face. "TOBY NO!!" she shouted as the blade came mere inches from slashing Sweeney, until suddenly everyone heard a loud bang go off causing Azrael to scream. Sweeney suddenly felt Toby move away from him and didn't even bother looking at him all he did was rush up to Azrael and wrapped his arms around her and then quickly moved back to examine her. "Did it hit you? Are you hurt?" he asked frantically as he kept examining her. Azrael quickly shook her head as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged her to him. "No… are you ok? It didn't hit you did it?" Sweeney quickly shook his head and then looked back to see where the bullet hit and saw Toby's body lying on the ground completely lifeless. He quickly hid Azrael's face in his chest so she wouldn't have to see feeling her crying against him and looked up to see that the shooter was Anthony.

Anthony walked down the steps holding the small pistol he carried with him to the Asylum in his hand. He gave Sweeney a determined look as he walked up closer to them and then looked down at Toby. "Sorry lad… But I'm not going to let my Aunt suffer anymore heartache nor will I allow her child to live without knowing its father." He said grimly.

He then looked up at Sweeney and Azrael and softly smiled at them. "No worries, you two are safe now. However, we should get going soon, I have a cab waiting for us." Sweeney nodded and gave Anthony a small smile. "Thank you Anthony." Anthony nodded and then ran upstairs to get Johanna. Sweeney quickly looked back down at Azrael and gently pulled away from her. "Azzie?" Azrael looked up at him and softly smiled trying to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Thank God your ok! I thought I had lost you!" Sweeney softly smiled at her and hugged her closer to him. "Azzie I thought I lost you as well. Darling I love you, I love you so much. Azzie please… please marry me. Let's just make this official I can't live without having you completely any longer." Azrael looked up at Sweeney and softly giggled just thrilled that he was all right but then gently nodded. "Yes… Sweeney I'll marry you." Sweeney grinned at her and gently kissed her. He then placed his hand on her stomach and smirked at her as he rested his forehead against hers. "So that's why you've been placing your hands by your stomach lately." Azrael softly grinned at him and nodded. "I suppose that is why. The doctor just told me before he left." Sweeney nodded and then closed his eyes and kissed her again. "I promise you Azzie I will protect you, Johanna, and our child. Nothing will ever harm us again…" Azrael smiled at him and gently nodded. "I know…I know you'll never let anything happen to us again." Sweeney then started to burst into tears clinging onto her for dear life, Lucy's death now sinking in. "She's gone Azzie, and it's all my fault! Lucy is gone because of me, I slashed her throat without a second thought and now she is gone… you shouldn't want me Azzie you shouldn't want to bare my child because of me."

Azrael frowned, felt her tears starting to roll down her cheeks, and gently rubbed his back. "You didn't know darling, you didn't know. How could you have possibly? It's not your fault darling. You thought she was someone else."

Sweeney hid his face in her hair and cried even harder. "Darling you should've allowed Toby to kill me it would've been better for you."

Azrael then gently shook her head. "No… it wouldn't have been better. I lost Gerry; Sweeney I couldn't live with myself if I lost you too." Sweeney sighed and slowly nodded not understanding why this amazing woman wanted him to be with him, he then looked down at her and gave her a ghost of a smile. "We should get going… Anthony and Johanna are waiting for us." Azrael nodded gave him a sad smile while he then picked her up bridal style so she didn't have to walk, he then carried her up to the coach and then sat her down in the seat, while Johanna and Anthony were sitting across from him. Sweeney smiled at Azrael, softly kissed her, and then gently broke the kiss apart. "I'll be right back… I need to do something before we leave." Azrael nodded and gave him a soft smiling knowing what he has to go do and watched him walk back up to his barbershop.

Sweeney looked around to see his shop for one last time, he saw his glinting blades and picked them up and packed them along with his many other belongings. He then found the picture of Lucy and Johanna and couldn't help but feel his heart break once again… how can a man feel horribly depressed yet completely happy at the same time? How can he feel so much in love with one woman but complete sorrow for the other? Sweeney didn't know, but he knew that it was time to put the past behind him. Even though he will never forgive himself for what he has done to his wife and still apart of him feels that he deserves to end his life for what he did to her, he knew that now he had a new family he needs to take care of. A family that he can watch over and take care of, a child he can watch grow and become what ever he or she wants. Sweeney sighed amazed that a woman like Azrael could love him, and he was amazed that a young woman like Johanna was willing to love him as well.

He then gently placed his pictures in his bag and then walked over to Azrael's room and packed all her belongings as well. He then found the picture of Gerry and Shannon she had sitting on her dresser and then gently picked it up and let out a small smile. "I promise I'll take care of her." He said softly to the picture before he packed it in with the rest of her stuff.

Once everything was packed and ready he then carried it downstairs and then walked back down into the bake-house seeing all the bodies he had to throw into the oven. Sweeney sighed and then walked over to the oven and opened the door the roaring fire still burning. He then walked over to the Judge and carried him over to the oven and then threw him in there and then picked up the Beadle and threw him in there as well. He then walked over to Toby, stared down at the young boy, and sighed. "Poor lad. Had so much to live for." He muttered and then gently carried him to the oven and threw him in there as well. Now it was finally time for Lucy. Sweeney sighed and then gently picked her up but stood there for a moment just staring at her and softly sang.

"In my darkest hours I could not foresee that the tide could turn so fast to this degree, Can't believe my eyes, how can I be so blind?"

His eyes then starts to well up in tears as he slowly walked towards the furnace.

"Is this my heart of stone, no empathy inside? Time keeps on slipping away and I haven't learned, so in the end now what have I gained?"

He then thinks about Johanna, Azrael and their unborn child and gently shakes his head begging for some sort of forgiveness.

"Sanctus Espiritus, redeem me from my solemn hour, Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around me, Sanctus Espiritus, is this what I deserve, can I break free from chains of never-ending agony?"

He then sighed wishing he knew how to make this better holding Lucy close to him, thinking about the Judge and the Beadle.

"Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain? Didn't I let go, allowed it, let it grow? If I can't restrain the beast which dwells inside, it will find its way somehow, somewhere in time, Will I remember all of the suffering, cause if I fail it will be in vain."

Sweeney then closed his eyes as he walked up closer to the furnace feeling it's heat radiate against him.

"Sanctus Espiritus, redeem me from my solemn hour, Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around me, Sanctus Espiritus, is this what I deserve, can I break free from chains of never-ending agony?"

He then opened his eyes and stared down at her the tears still rolling down his cheeks. "Goodbye my love… I'm so sorry for what I have done to you, and I know you'll never forgive me for what I have done, but I promise you Lucy I'll take care of Johanna and be the best father I can be to her… I hope one day you'll forgive me my love. And I hope that one day I will see you again, even though I highly doubt it. I love you Lucy nothing will ever change that." He then started to cry even harder. "It's just I have a new family now… and I have to be there for them. I hope you understand Lucy, I hope you will forgive me for falling for another woman. But she really is amazing Lucy, she has given me hope and has shown me so much that Life can be an amazing gift… Even though it's too late for me to realize that now. I just want you to know that Azzie will never try to replace you as Johanna's mother, but she will love her just like her own. And I promise that Azzie will never take your place in my heart. She has her own spot but she will never take over yours. I love you Lucy… Goodbye my love." And with that he gently placed her in the furnace and watched her burn.

Sweeney started to sob into tears as he watched his wife's body burn into the flames. He then gently closed the door. With his back against it, leaned his head back and then closed his eyes as tears continued to roll down his cheeks. "Goodbye." He whispered and then walked away from the furnace and then out of the room to start a whole new life, never turning back to the one he once had.

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

There are only two tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants, And the other is getting it.
