I know that I forgot the disclaimer. Well I have fixed that problem. Only basic changes here and there in this chapter. The next one had the major renovations done to it.

DISCLAIMER:

Labyrinth and all that is connected to it belongs to someone other than me!!!

Though the characters not appearing or named in the movie or any other work of fiction are of my creation.

Then … Now … and For Eternity

Chapter One:

Good Morning Beautiful

Absence is to love
What wind is to fire;
It extinguishes the small,
It enkindles the great

~ Roger De Bussy-Rabutin ~

Sarah stretched with a contented sigh as the morning sunshine flooded into her and Jareth's bedchambers. The previous night had been more than even she had imagined in her hottest dreams. If it weren't for the lingering soreness from giving Jareth her virginity, she would have sworn that she had dreamed it all.

Turning over she saw his handsome face still lost in dreams. Sarah smiled at how much more peaceful he was while asleep.

When he rolled onto his side towards her, she held her breath waiting for his eyes to open. He seemed to settle back into his sleep again, and Sarah relaxed closer to his body. For the first time in her life she felt completely happy.

Gently, Jareth pulled his wife into his arms and held her close to his chest before sighing in content. She was softer, warmer, and more wonderful than he ever dare dreamed. He knew how she had felt lying beside him with blankets keeping them apart and her virtue safe for their wedding night. But to hold her body so close with nothing holding them apart, he knew that he'd never want to be without her again.

"I thought that you were still asleep. Sorry if I woke you my love." Sarah purred as she snuggled against his body. She knew that she was going to love her new life, so long as she woke up like this in the morning.

Jareth couldn't help but chuckle. His days were certainly going to be much brighter with Sarah to wake up to now. "I thought the same too my beloved wife. That this was all a dream and if I open my eyes my sweetest dream ever would end. I don't want to lose this dream my love. Please stay here with me."

Sarah kissed both of his eyelids, the tip of his nose, and finally his lips. She felt her heart race as Jareth returned her kiss with a hunger and passion she never knew before that moment. When she pulled back she was rewarded with a look at his mismatched eyes staring up at her. "I don't belong anywhere else than here in our bed, our home, our kingdom, our world. I'm home to stay."

Jareth gently stroked her cheek. It was all so perfect. Until the knock on their door interrupted. His elder brother's muffled voice echoed through. "Hey bro, family meeting in five in the library. Time for the Queen to remember her past."

"The Queen remembers the past very well thank you General. But we'll see you in the library anyway." Sarah yelled at the door, and then whimpered to her new husband. "And I thought we'd be on our own for at least part of our honeymoon."

"Just wait until after this meeting. I doubt that we'll be getting out of this bed again before the honeymoon's over." Jareth smirked.

I know – short, and not much info to tell who bro and sis are.

I am such a tease!

Next chapter I will tell all … I promise.

Now I'm outie.
