It was right in time for the Sun to set. Her hair glistened in the sunset. She looked gorgeous. Nellie was sitting on his lap happily looking in to the setting sun.

,, You know, Sweeney this night couldn't get any better.'' She was truly happy.

She felt warm chills running down her spine when Sweeney whispered in her ear:

,, Just wait until we get back.''

She knew what was on his mind and for some reason she liked the idea too.

,, So do enjoy the sunset, Mrs. Todd?'' He kissed her neck making her blush.

,, Hmmm… I like the sound of that.'' She tried to start getting used to being Nellie Todd. ,, Who knew that I would get remarried?''

She whispered as the sun sunk in the sea.

,, Fate did.'' He answered.

Nellie was sitting in his lap with his jacket on, because the night was getting colder by the minute. Even though she was sitting in a warm jacket and leaning against his warm chest she was still shivering from the cold.

,, Nell, you're still shivering. Let's get back to the shop before you freeze to death out here ok?'' He hugged her closer hoping that it would get her warmer.

She was too cold to answer so she nodded instead. When they got back the lights were out, Toby was asleep in the lobby again, but the shop was lit like someone was still working.

,, Here, sit down by the fire and I'll be right back.'' He walked back in the shop to make her a cup of tea to keep her warm.

,, Thanks, I do feel a little warmer.'' She gave him a weak smile.

She was tired and freezing cold, but she couldn't explain why. She changed in her nightgown and crawled under the covers and pulled them up to her chin. She felt that she was falling asleep and the last thing she remembered was Sweeney's smooth voice and his hand brushing away some curls from her face. Next morning she woke up weak and tired. She tried to speak, but her mouth was as dry as a dessert. She drank the last night's tea and tried to get out of bed. That was a big mistake. She stood up and everything went black so she had to sit down, but she didn't see where the bed is so she sat on the floor next to it instead. She started to cough a little until Toby heard the coughing and came in to the room.

,, Mum? Are you alright in here?'' He found his mum sitting on the floor and coughing. ,, Ouch! Mum, you're burning up!'' He was worried when she pulled up her eyes and looked at the poor worried face.

,, I'm going to be ok, Toby, dear. I just don't feel so fresh that's all. I'll be fine. I prom…'' She had to cough, but this time her hand was a little bloody.

,, I'll go get Mr. Todd. I'll be back as soon as I can, mum.'' And he ran upstairs.

Sweeney was sitting in his chair and polishing his razors, when Toby ran into the shop looking worried than ever.

,, Mr. Todd! Mr. Todd!''

He put the razors down and looked at Toby with a bit confused face:,, What is it, boy?''

,, It's mum, I found her sitting on the floor hotter than ever, she looked pale and weak. She coughed up some blood as well.''

Sweeney came downstairs as fast as he could. He looked even more worried than Toby.

,, Nell, what happened?'' He hoped for and answer, but he got teary eyes for an answer. ,, Oh, you poor thing. Come on. Let's help you get back in bed. Toby, get the doctor as fast as you can.'' He said in a rush.

,, Got it, sir.'' And with that he rushed out of the shop. She felt like she was dieing. After ten minutes Toby came back in the shop with the doctor. Sweeney left them alone in her bedroom with a hope that she'll be ok.

,, Well? What is it?'' Nellie sounded very weak.

,, Well Mrs. Lovett you have caught a fever.''

,, A fever? Will the baby be ok?'' She put her hands on her belly.

,, If we get you on your feet as soon as we can then yes. But if we leave you to heal without any help the baby might die if when the virus gets him.''

She felt like her heart stopped that moment. Her poor baby. No, she couldn't lose it. Not her first child. She agreed to get all the help he would offer to her.

,, Well then in that case you will have to live in the hospital while you get better.'' He said.

,, Ok then. Tomorrow I'll be there.''

He smiled about that answer. Sweeney came in the room and asked:

,, What did he say?''

,, Apparently I have a fever with a little virus. And if we don't do anything about it the baby might die from the virus. So I agreed to live in the hospital while I heal properly.

'' He didn't like the idea of her leaving the house tomorrow for who knows how long. And leaving the boy with him. But she saw the sadness in his face.

,, Don't worry, love. You can visit us at the hospital anyways.''

He put his hand on her belly and sighed. ,, Ok then. I'll visit you in the hospital. I promise.''

He kissed the belly and gave her a hug, because a kiss would end with him getting sick as well.

,, I love you, Sweeney.'' She sniffed.

,, Same here, Nell.'' He stayed by her side all night in case she needed something.

In the morning he helped her to pack her things to take with her to the hospital. She had a hard time to say goodbye to Toby and the shop. When they arrived at the hospital the doctor was already waiting.

,, Ah, Mrs. Lovett. Glad you made it. We have a nice room on the second floor, but don't worry we have elevators here.''

,, Well I guess this is…'' She swallowed hard.

,, I know. I'll miss you tonight, Nell.'' He gave her a last hug goodbye and watched how she disappeared around the corner.

He didn't sleep at all last night. His mind was thinking of his sweet Nellie, which was in hospital on the other side of London. Nellie's mind also didn't let her sleep. She was back in the shop, healthy, serving the pies, when a little girl ran and hugged her leg.

,, Oh goodness, Sophia you scared me.''

The little girl giggled as Nellie picked her up and hugged her.

,, I'm sorry, mommy.'' She said in a sweet little voice.

She was as beautiful as her mother. Her red curls stretched all the way up to her shoulder blades. Her smile was as warm as Nellie's, but her eyes dark as Sweeney's. Her face got happy when Toby came out in the courtyard.

,, Toby!'' She cheered.

,, Hi there, Sophia.'' He happily answered. ,, You look quite bored around here.''

She nodded and asked Nellie:,, Mommy? Can we go to the park?''

She smiled at her little daughter and said:,, Oh, dearie. I would love to, but I'm a bit busy now. I have so many customers today.''

Toby came closer and offered to take her to the park.

,, Oh ok. But be careful you two!'' She called after them.

Sophia loved the park. She liked to feed the ducks in the pond, play tag with Toby, pick some daisies and give them to Nellie, because she knew that she loved daisies. All that could come true someday if she would beat the fever and the virus as well. She somehow managed to fall asleep. Sophia was in the dream too. Only it was many years in the future. She was seventeen and she opened her first art shop. Everyone in all London wanted her paintings. They were the best ones they ever have seen. There was her first painting that she ever drew. It was a painting of Sweeney looking out the window thinking about something. He looked dark and locked in his own world like he used to do, when Turpin was still alive. And then there was a painting of her standing in the shop behind the counter making the crusty old pies she used to make. Her hair was a little mess, her dress was covered with flour and her face was filled with desperation and sadness. There were also some paintings of the park, seaside, docks and even the Fleet Street. She felt so proud of her daughter. She grew up as a beautiful young woman. Her hair was fire red now, but her dark eyes stayed dark and mysterious forever. She started to draw flaming roses and hearts. She was known as ''Girl in flames.'' She wore red, flowing dresses to most of the gallery openings. She loved to draw so much. It was like drawing was a part of her. She woke up in the morning thinking about the dream. She heard a knock at the door.

,, Come in.'' She answered.

It was Sweeney and Toby. She felt happier when she saw Sweeney.

,, Hello, love.'' She said.

,, I missed you so much, that I couldn't fall asleep.'' He said.

,, Yeah me too. I was thinking of the life we would have. It would be you, me, Toby and Sophia.''

,, Who's Sophia?'' He wanted to know.

,, Our little daughter. With hair red as mine, smile as warm as mine, dark eyes like yours and courage as big as yours.'' She smiled.

,,She sounds beautiful.'' He smiled. ,, You know. We didn't make it official yet.''

She looked at him and raised and eyebrow:,, What do you mean?''

,, Well at the seaside I didn't ask you yet I was about to when I got lost in your smooth voice and I forgot about it.''

She felt her cheeks blushing and heart pounding like that moment when she understood the question.

He keeled on his knee and opened a box with a silver ring in it :,, Nellie Lovett, will you marry me?''
