Sarah had been playing with her brother in his room for quite a time. The boy was trilled that he had all his attention. She was relieved to have someone else she could occupy her mind with. Her conversation with Jareth earlier had brought turmoil in her head as well as in her heart. She had had the time to calm down by now, but she didn't wish to meet with the King anytime soon. Toby was lining up little cars and trucks as if they were caught in the traffic. The child looked at his sister. "Sarah." She was too caught up in her thoughts to hear the boy.

"Sarah." He said placing himself in front of her face. "Sarah. Hungry."

She laughed when she saw him trying to get her attention. "I'm sorry Toby, you're hungry? Well I guess we will have to find our way to the kitchen then." She took the toddler's hand in hers and walked him out of the room.

They had walked for a little while when Toby asked to be taken. Sarah smiled at her brother and lifted him up. Sarah knew very little of the castle after just one day and she began to think they were lost. She walked through the twisted corridors for five more minutes and began to panic. Her brother was now crying because he was hungry.

"Sshh Toby, its ok. I will fix this. We're going to find something for you to eat." She sighed. "Jareth?" she called to the ceiling.

He appeared within seconds. "You called love?" He took a look at Toby and asked. "What's wrong with him?"

She looked at him. "Well, he is hungry. He asked for food half an hour ago and….well….we were on our way….but….we…..I mean ….I got lost."

He smirked. "You're lost?" He mocked. "I guess you would like to find the way to the dinner hall now wouldn't you?"

She couldn't believe he was mocking her while her brother was wailing in her arms. She was incredibly annoyed. "Maybe you think you're funny, Goblin King, but the baby is hungry and I will not argue with you until he is fed."

He tilted his head and gazed in her eyes. "Alright. Come." He offered her is hand.

She took it and the three of them vanished only to reappear in the dinner hall. The dinner for Toby had already been placed on the table and there were fruits available for Sarah and Jareth.

She let go of his hand and moved to the table to feed her baby brother. She sat at the table turning her back on Jareth.

The King moved forward the young woman. "Sarah?" he asked.

She barely responded to him, concentrating on feeding her brother. "Hum?"

He smirked. She was enjoying making him feel unimportant. "After the child is fed and put to sleep, would you care to have dinner with me?"

She turned and eyed him. "Of course." She smiled. "I do have to eat after all." She mocked him.

He looked defeated. "Yes, you do. I would like you to meet someone when you're done with the little champs." She eyed him suspiciously. "I think I have found the perfect nanny for the child. I would of course like you to meet her, to have your approval before she actually is given the care of the baby."

She was startled but pleased. "Well, thank you Jareth. It is very thoughtful of you. I would love to meet her as soon as the peanut is done here."

He raised an eyebrow. "The peanut?" he asked.

She laughed. It was a delighted laugh; a laugh that caught his heart and made it jump. "Yes, the peanut. It's a nickname I've been calling him ever since…. I don't know… ever since he was born." She answered.

He smirked. "A peanut isn't something very affectionate."

She turned her back on him and concentrated on feeding the toddler once more. "Aw! Now get off. Nickname him whatever you like and leave me alone with the 'peanut' thing." She said angrily.

He smirked. "Of course love." He grabbed a peach and sat at his place at the far end of the table.

She finished feeding Toby and grabbed an apple for herself, biting in it with hunger. She ate the apple and placed the remaining heart in Toby's plate. She turned to take a look at Jareth. He looked back and smiled.

He raised his head to look at the ceiling; he spoke to her without looking at her. "Are you ready to meet Toby's nanny?"

She smiled but was annoyed that he didn't look at her while he was talking. "Could you look at me when were talking?" He moved and gazed at her. "Thank you. That is a lot better. I am in fact ready to meet her." She replied with an amused grin. She looked at him mischievously. "Maybe I'll be able to get something from you." She mocked.

He smirked. "Sarah, you can get from me absolutely anything you want. I am very willing to give you what you want love."

She smiled. "I know very well what you are trying to imply and I choose to ignore it. Don't we have a nanny to meet?"

He grinned. "Yes love, we done. It's this way, come now." He said while getting up. He walked to where she was sitting with Toby and picked up the child. He held out his gloved hand.

Sarah took his hand and they begin walking out of the dinner hall. "Jareth." She asked.

"Yes love?" he replied while holding Toby firmly.

"Do you ever take off those gloves of yours?" she wondered.

He laughed and looked at her. She was looking up at him waiting for his answer. "Of course, I take them off rarely; at night…most of the time. Why are you asking this?"

She squeezed his hand a little bit tighter. "No reasons in particular. I was just wondering." She looked to see where they were. They were now in the throne room but it was empty. There was not a single creature around; not a goblin, not a chicken and definitely not a nanny. "Where is she?"

Jareth handed Toby to Sarah and conjured a crystal. He looked into the depths of the glass sphere. "She'll be here in a second."

Sarah stood by his side waiting patiently. A knock was heard on the door. "You can come in." Jareth said blankly.

A small woman in her mid-fifties entered the room and bowed. She smiled kindly at Sarah and Jareth. "Your majesty." She said in her soft voice.

Jareth took a step backwards and sat on his throne. Sarah could have laughed at his attitude, but she wouldn't dare. "Please come in Rose. Here is Lady Sarah and the child I have talked to you about." He said coldly.

The small lady walked to Sarah and smiled kindly at her. "Please to meet you milady. This is little Toby I suppose."

Sarah smiled. "You supposed right." She eyed Jareth rapidly and turned back her attention to Rose. "It's a pleasure to meet you Rose. This is Toby, quite a handful sometimes, but a sweet little boy nonetheless."

Rose chuckled. "All the little boys are quite a handful my dear. Do you mind if I take him?" she proposed.

Sarah handed the baby to her. "No, not at all. He was getting heavy." She noticed the boy giggled when Rose tickled his belly. Sarah smiled; she definitely liked that woman. She turned and noticed Jareth's glare, he was wondering if Rose had her approval. She caught his glare and their eyes locked; she smiled and nodded. He tilted his head in sign of agreement.

Sarah turned her attention back to Rose who was now playing with Toby's noise. The baby started to whimper; Sarah decided to let go. 'Let's see how she will be able to cope with his cries.' She smiled to herself.

Rose made soothing sounds and snapped her fingers. Instantly, the baby was wrapped in a warm white blanket. Toby sobbed for a couple of seconds and calmed himself. Sarah was amazingly impressed. "How did…." She began to ask.

"I felt he was cold. He wanted nothing more then to feel warm." The woman replied kindly.

Sarah sighed. "If I could have done that all those years..." She was amused by the thought. "Rose, would you mind bringing him to his bedroom and changing him. I would really like to be able to put him to sleep shortly."

"Of course milady, little Toby shall be ready in a quarter." She bowed before them, still holding the child in her arms. "Your Majesty." She said politely before turning and leaving the room.

Jareth stood behind her. She turned to face him. "What did you think of her?" he asked.

Sarah smiled thankfully. "She's wonderful Jareth. Thank you. I am certain Toby will be perfectly fine with her."

"Of course he will. I told you that you were both protected as long as you are in the castle or on its grounds." He said seriously.

"I remember. How did she do that trick with the blanket? What is she?" She wondered.

He smirked. "She's a human, at least partly. She was wished away as a baby. I believe her father was her only family and he refused to take care of her. He chose his dreams. Rose was adopted by one of the Fae families living in RinthLab city." He explained patiently.

Sarah was startled. "But, if she's human how could she conjure that blanket? Wait a second; Fae family? RinthLab city? There is actually another city apart from the Goblin city?" She couldn't stop questioning him.

Jareth grinned. "Slow down Sarah. Yes there are other cities, and other Kingdoms in the Underground. I believe there are actually thirteen cities within my Kingdom. RinthLab's inhabitants are mostly Fae and half human. You see when someone from Aboveground remains Underground for a long period of time; they begin to change slightly to adjust to immortality and magic. What we have witnessed over the years is that humans usually tend to become part Fae. If you properly learn to control your new-found abilities, then the magic can be powerful."

Sarah's jaw dropped. "Do you mean…are you implying…wait a second. Are you telling me that my brother and I will become part Fae? We will be magical?" She thought for an instant and then gaped. "Immortality?"

Jareth raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps I should explain more over dinner tonight." He was slightly amused by her reaction. "You should go rest in your bedchambers love, you look tired." She nodded and turned to leave. "Oh Sarah?" She stopped and turned to face him; still silent. "I will come to fetch you at eight." She nodded and left the room without a word.

Jareth walked back to his throne and conjured a crystal; he wanted to make sure everything was alright with the 'peanut'. He laughed to himself. 'How endearing.' He thought.
