"Mommy?"

Sarah suddenly broke the kiss, blushing slightly and combing the hair out of her face. "Yes, Sophie?"

"Is Jareth my new daddy?" she pointed curiously at Jareth, who had the overjoyed goblin king look in his eyes.

"Yes, baby, Jareth is your new daddy." Sarah confirmed lightly, worried how she'd take it.

Sophie walked slowly over to Jareth, taking his hands and putting one of them over her heart. "My heart loves you too, Daddy."

He smiled, picking her up and twirling her in his arms, laughing happily. He kissed her forehead, setting her down and crouching to her level. "I have something very important to talk to you rmommy about, Sophie, do you want to be apart of our conversation?" he asked more seriously.

She nodded. "Good. Sit down, darlings."

Sarah noticed how he said "darlings" and blushed, which Jareth didn't miss. He smirked some, even.

"Now, Sar, you know how I just claimed Sophie as mine?"

Sarah nodded.

"Would you and Sophie like to move in the castle with me?"

Sarah's eyes widned. "Well.."

"I WILL!" Sophie squealed in delight, running over and swinging her arms around his neck. "I want to move in with you, daddy!"

Jareth looked at Sophie in complete adoration. She just called me daddy!

"Uh.. Jareth?" Sarah was waving her hand rudely in front of Jareth's face. "I think considering what Argyle said, we should move in, but can we give it a couple of weeks?"

"Of course, Precious," Jareth smiled warmly. "Take all the time you need."

"FATHER!" Phoenix screamed, rather surprised that he showed up while him and his lover were having their "alone time".

"Phoenix, do me a favor:" Argyle ground out angrily. "Stay away from Jareth and his family."

"Oh, now what's the fun in that?" Phoenix stood up and trotted over giddily to his father in his birthday suit. "I was just having a little… fun with the woman!"

Argyle snached up his wrist, yanking his son over to him angrily. "This isn't a game, Phoenix. Stay away from her, stay away from Jareth's daughter, and stay away from Jareth."

"Wait," Phoenix replied suspiciously. "Sophie is MY daughter by blood!" He was scowling now.

"Jareth has claimed him today. Who put you up to torture her and her daughter? Was it that damned master of yours, Vlad?"

"But of course, Father!" Phoenix laughed bitterly. "Vlad helps me do everything that's needed to do! You KNOW I'm older, Father!"

"Just because I adopted you older doesn't mean YOU'RE my heir!" Argyle was clutching his neck now. "Stay AWAY from Jareth's family, or him and I will BOTH kill you!" he roared in his face.

"Jareth couldn't harm me if it could save his life!" Phoenix wiggled out of his arms again. "He loves me too much!"

Argyle thought about what he had said, and created a crystal, dropping it and dissapearing in a flurry of smoke and glitter.

Phoenix laughed evily. "So the games, begin, little brother."
