A/N: Here is my first multiple chapter fan fiction. Anyway, it's my second Sweeney Todd fan fiction…Well actually second fan fiction in general. So hopefully it will be good. Now enough of this foolish chatter, on with the story!

Disclaimer: sadly I don't own Sweeney Todd… *Sniff Sniff*

There was a bang on the door and someone was shouting. Mrs. Lovett sat up in bed and her hands immediately flew to her head. She groaned as she felt a wave of pain hit her. Her head was killing her. She wanted to lie back down and was about to when she heard the bang again.

"Mum! Mum, are you up yet?" Toby's voice called from the other side of the door.

Mrs. Lovett winced as Toby pounded on the door with his fists again.

"Mum the shop's suppose to open soon! Ya have to get up!" He yelled again causing Mrs. Lovett to yet again be hit with a wave of fresh pain.

"Be up in a second love. Me head's hurtin' a bit." She called towards the door before messaging her temples. She hated headaches more than anything, even though she rarely got them. As soon as she was on her feet, she felt as if the room was spinning. With a little yelp of surprise she fell forwards and went crashing to the floor.

Toby heard the bang from the other side of the door.

"Mrs. Lovett?" he called the urgency clearly detectable in his voice.

There was no answer.

"Mum!" he called again. To his relief he hears a low moan coming from the other side of the door. "I'll go get Mr. Todd."

"No!" her shirking voice making him jump, "I mean there's no need to disturb Mr. Todd. I just stood up to fast that's all. Now come in here and help me up, me poor old bones aren't what they used to be."

Still concerned about his mother, Toby opened the door and found a very pale, very weak Mrs. Lovett on the floor. He opened his mouth to ask if she was alright but she cut him off.

"I'm fine darling. Now help me up" she said holding up her hand. After helping her up he asked once again if she was alright, deciding that there was something wrong and she just wasn't telling him, but all she did was shake her head and shoo him out of the room, telling him she needed to get ready for the morning rush.

Toby knew that Mrs. Lovett wasn't telling him the truth about how she was feeling, in addition to that, she was paler than usual and Toby had noticed her hands shaking when he helped her up. He wanted to go up and tell Mr. Todd, but he had to admit, Mr. Todd scared him. He was also afraid Mrs. Lovett would be upset, judging by the way she shirked when he suggested getting him, she probably didn't want him to know. So Toby decided against telling Mr. Todd and went to get the shop ready for the day.

It was just about noon and everything was going smoothly. Mrs. Lovett's headache was fading, the afternoon rush brought in buckets and buckets of customers and it was time to close up the shop.

"Toby fetch the keys from my room would ya?" She called to the sweet boy sweeping the floor.

"Sure thing mum, be back in a jiff." He said racing towards the door almost crashing into Mr. Todd.

"Such a sweet boy, wouldn't know wot I'd do without 'im" Mrs. Lovett said half to Sweeney half to herself. All of a sudden pain surged through her head. The headache was back and it was killing her once more. She felt nauseous and dizzy. The room was spinning faster and faster. She gripped the table from support. She heard Mr. Todd calling her name as saw him rush over to her.

"I'm fine." She said faintly. The last thing she saw before falling to the floor was the look of gilt and horror on poor Toby's face. Then the world was black….
