This takes place about 7 years after Secret Mission, as I found it so fun to write about the cute Labyrinth family and had to include the little princess! Happy Father's Day!

You know the drill, I don't own anything including the small Finding Nemo quote that I use as well. Have fun reading the sequel to Secret Mission!


Chapter 1

Jareth, King of Goblins, was in a bad mood, to put it lightly. He grumbled and mumbled at the fact that the fairies were trying to bite everyone, being even more aggressive this year during mating season than they usually were. He hated exterminating them, and had made a deal with them that he would create a place for them, a haven so to speak in his own kingdom if they so wished to stay. They were not native to the land so Jareth told them he would only offer citizenship if they lived in that one area and stopped trying to bite everything (making Hoggle's job a lot easier).

He swiftly changed his form to be an owl and flew back home. He loved the air under his wings, the wind giving him clarity. He saw the castle in view and couldn't wait to go home to his little family. He smiled to himself, can't wait to hold his wife and his children.

He landed in the living room, hoping to take a look around in his owl form first. Plus, his youngest, Penelope, or Penny as she was known, loved to see him in owl form as it made her smile. To his dismay she wasn't around.

Just as he was about to change into his normal fae form, he was attacked. He screeched, flapping away from the furry orange thing that attacked him, a few feathers plucked off. Sharp teeth grazed his shoulder and he flapped around some more. He kicked at the thing and pecked at it until someone pulled it away from him.

The King transformed into his normal form now, his clothes torn and he had a sword summoned for protection as he waved a hand to flip on the lights in the room (his wife had insisted on electricity).

His blue eyes met green ones, eyes that the five year old had inherited from her mother.

"Penny?" He looked at his daughter, who was soothing a small kitten in her arms.

"Daddy, you scared the kitty!" She lectured him. "Don't worry, Fluffy. Papa didn't mean to. It's okay, you're okay."

Jareth couldn't believe what he was hearing. That THING just tried to kill him and she was comforting it? And she named it something as cute as Fluffy?

He heard some footsteps and in came in a woman who he thought was the most beautiful of all women. She had black hair and green eyes that she gifted their daughter. He instantly relaxed, or as relaxed as he could when his daughter was holding the thing that tried to eat him.

Sarah gasped at the sight of Jareth. "Jareth! You're bleeding!" She summoned a cloth and a tub of water, taking her husband's shirt off and trying to clean the wound.

Jareth was in a daze for a minute, having fun with Sarah doting on him after such a long day. Once he realized that he and his wife were alone, he looked at her with big eyes. "Sarah, what was that?"

Sarah raised an eyebrow at the question until she realized that he was talking about the cat. "Oh, um, when the kids came home from a sleep over with Dad and Karen, Penny saw the stray kitten. She's quite taken by it. She asked if we could keep it, and I told her no promises but we would have to discuss it with you and take the cat to a new home if you said no."

She tried to move to the other side but Jareth moved his body so she was forced to look into his eyes, amusement on his face. "I can't believe you, Sarah. Putting it on ME so that you're not the one to break her poor little heart?" He chuckled and ran a finger down her cheek.

Sarah looked down but she was grinning sheepishly. "How can I? Look at her. She adores the thing. Calling it Fluffy too. You know how the boys have also wanted a pet for a while since Gwaine died."

Gwaine was the dog Jareth and Sarah got when they first married and he died a few years back. He was a gift from Robert as Sarah had expressed herself in missing Merlin.

Jareth still didn't look convinced. "Then why not another dog instead of something that tried to KILL me?"

Sarah rolled her eyes, dressing the wound. "It's a cat, Jareth."

"It's a monster dressed as a kitty."

"Jareth don't be unreasonable. Now I now why the boys are like this."

"I'm not. It's evil! It tried to kill me and I could've died!" He threw his hands up in the air for dramatic effect.

Sarah summoned another one of Jareth's shirts and slipped it on him. "Are you telling me that the mighty Goblin King is scared of a kitten?"

Jareth was taken aback and frowned at Sarah laughing, knowing that he was caught now. "Alright alright! I admit, I'm just a bit traumatized because it tried to kill me in my own home."

Sarah kissed his cheek. "Oh you. You've been through wars and all sorts of crazy things but a kitten that attacks you in owl form is scary."

Jareth relaxed a little more from her kiss. Stretching, he laid his head on her lap, Sarah's fingers automatically playing with his soft hair. "Well it's not like I had a daughter who's as stubborn as her mother beg for me to keep the very thing that tried to eat me as a pet."

Sarah snorted. "Whatever. Seriously though, what do you want to do?"

Jareth groaned. He knew that he could say no to many things, but seeing the look on Penny's face told him that there was no way in heaven or hell that she would let it go without a fight. Plus, why not? They could care for the kitten and it could be her pet. Some responsibility wouldn't hurt.

"Fine." He told his wife. "We can keep the devil's animal."

"Jareth it's literally a CAT."

"As I was saying, we can keep the cat. But, we need to talk to her about being responsible for it and to not treat it as a toy."

"Her."

Jareth opened his eyes and scrunched his face. "Pardon me?"

Sarah cleared her throat. "Her. The cat is female."

Jareth leaned back again, his eyebrows going up. "Why does that not surprise me? Something so deceivingly cute yet scary. Much like my own wife."

Sarah swatted him and he laughed, sitting up and kissing her fully until her lips were red with passion. He breathed, feeling content at how flushed her face was when she kissed him. Few things were more beautiful than this.

"It's true though." He said softly. "You are so sweet, so kind but at the same time, were able to destroy me."

Sarah's eyes softened at this. "Jareth, but I'm here now and married to you for years now with three children." She traced her thumb his jawline and kissed his cheek. "We both have power over each other, equally now."

Jareth gathered Sarah closer to him. "I know, but it does me good to remember because otherwise my ego gets inflated as you tell me."

Sarah laughed and kissed him again, sighing contently.
