I'm so sorry. I messed up. I updated with chapter 10 for D and N.
Well here is Chapter 10. Now I am using something I have done before in another work here on the site. I won't go any further since I would ruin the story. Hehe. I thank you all for the lovely reviews. Now I had planed to have this up earlier, but it was really late when I finally finished typing Chapter 9 last night.
I have a feeling this is coming to an end. Maybe two more chapters. Then I will be back to Dreams and Nightmares, which is going to be going soon. It's almost time for the good guys to attack the bad ones, but I have to have Kali realize she loves Malek first. But being she is her mother's daughter she is going to give me trouble. Oh, well.
I am already planning Phantom of The Labyrinth. Basically it is me retelling the ALW movie and adding Labyrinth into the mix. Raoul is doomed!!!! I may have the prelude or what ever it is called up before I finish D and N so be on the look out on my profile. So if you like Phantom of The Opera or Labyrinth come take a look at it when it's up. I may have it up before I finish this who knows.
So enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 10
The sun was shinning in on the gardens around the Castle. Sarah stood watching a much older Toby running from a little boy with dark hair and blue eyes. The little boy stopped and ran up to Sarah.
"Mommy, make Uncle Toby give me back Lancelot."
Sarah kneeled down in front of her son. She smiled at him. "Don't worry, Merrick. Daddy will get him."
Both turned to watch Jareth come up behind Toby and grabbed Lancelot. Toby tried to get the bear back, but Jareth lifted the bear over his head and was faster.
"Toby, stop it or I'll have you doing reps."
Toby stopped and sat down on the ground with a huff.
Jareth walked over to his wife and son. As he stood beside them, he handed Merrick his bear. "There you go."
Merrick smiled up at his father. "Thanks, Daddy." Then he ran off.
Sarah began to stand up as Merrick ran into the Castle. Jareth grabbed her upper arms to help steady her. Once she was standing, she smiled at Jareth. "Thanks."
Jareth nodded and glanced over at Toby. "I better take Toby off of your hands for awhile. That way you can spend time with Merrick, and he won't be tormented."
Sarah rubbed her massive belly. "All right, but don't forget about his lesson."
"I won't." Jareth kissed his wife and quickly placed his hand over her growing belly. "Get some rest. You've been on your feet too long."
"I'm fine."
Jareth smiled and then walked over to Toby.

Sarah sat in Jareth's private study. It was almost everyone else was asleep. Except for the infant in her arms. The baby girl hadn't gotten into the routine of the world, just yet, but her mother didn't mind.
Sarah gently rocked her daughter. She looked up from her daughter's face to see the door leading to hers and Jareth's bedroom opening. Jareth walked out and gently shut the door behind him. Quietly he walked over to them.
"She still isn't asleep?"
"Yeap."
Jareth sat beside her and looked at his daughter. "What haven't you tried?"
Sarah sighed. "I've tried everything." She tried to stop herself from yawning but didn't succeed.
Jareth smiled softly. "Why don't I take her? You go on to bed."
Sarah gently put her daughter in his arms. "All right, but once she is asleep, you better get some sleep."
Jareth pulled his daughter against his chest. "I will. I'll even reorder time so you and I both get enough sleep tonight. With both her and Merrick not sleeping well, we both need a good night sleep. Now go on. You'll need your strength to deal with my mother tomorrow. She has something planned."
Sarah leaned over and kissed her husband. Then she kissed her daughter's forehead before she rose and made her way to the door. Before she closed it she smiled softly at the sight of father and daughter. Sarah could hear a familiar song coming from Jareth as he began to sing to the little princess.

Sarah sat beside a bed. Merrick sat at the foot of his sister's bed, while his was under her covers. The children were listening to their mother telling them their favorite story, the story of the Princess and the Labyrinth.
As Sarah finished, she glanced at her children. Her daughter was sound asleep, while her son was barely awake. She picked him up and carried him to his own bed. As she tucked him in, Sarah felt two arms wrap around her.
"Not now."
"Their asleep. We need some alone time."
Sarah smiled and turned in Jareth's arms. "I need to check on Toby first."
Jareth signed. "He's fine. Now come on." Jareth then teleported them to their room.
XOXOX
Sarah slowly woke up. She had an idea why she had that or those dreams during the night. Jareth. He wanted to show her what could be, and damn she wanted it all.
Quickly, she dressed. After not finding Toby in his room, Sarah made her way to the dinning hall only to find it empty. Where were they? Sarah then walked to Jareth's private study.
As she neared the door, Sarah could hear yelling. Both voices male and one of them was Jareth. She was about to knock on the door, when Amorica placed her hand on her shoulder.
"It's not a good idea."
Sarah turned to face her. "What's going on?"
"Jareth and his father are having a disagreement."
Sarah raised an eyebrow. "It doesn't sound to me like a simple disagreement."
Amorica smiled. "Jareth has just told his father he plans to marry you."
"And he isn't taking it well?"
"Among other things." Amorica pulled Sarah way from the door. "Your brother is with your friends. I didn't want him to any of this."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. I know it may be too early, but have you made your decision yet?"
"Yes, I have." Sarah looked at the door.
XOXOX
Jareth stood in front of his father. He didn't care what he said. He would marry Sarah is she agreed. He watched his father paced in front of him. Jareth heard Sarah's voice outside the door. It sounded like she needed to talk to him.
Suddenly his father stopped pacing and looked at him. "Jareth, be reasonable. You cannot marry a mortal."
"Why not? Now that she is here she will live as long as I do. Besides, Father, I love her."
The older king sighed. "Truly?"
"Yes."
The High King looked at his son. "I give my conceit, but she has to agree. No using your magic to make her and no tricking her."
"I know."
The High King smiled. "You're lucky, my son. You'll have your soul mate by your side unlike your mother and I."
Jareth frowned at his father. "You?" He knew of his mother.
"We so alike, my son. I found mine to be a mortal as well. But I was already to your mother and she chose not to run the Labyrinth. So I was forced to send her back without her memories."
"I'm sorry, Father."
"I felt it when she pasted. She didn't remember me, but I went and watched over her. Because of that I was a horrible father."
"Is that why you hate mortals?"
"No, I don't hate them. I just was hoping you wouldn't have the same fate as me. Most goblin Kings find their soul mate to be a mortal, but very few ever get to have them."
The two men nodded. Jareth moved towards his father. "Father, if I had to I would leave here just to be with her."
The High King smiled. "I almost did the same thing, but then where would that have left you and your mother. I do care for her. Actually, I'm one of the closest friends to her soul mate. I married her after he was forced to marry another. I kept my promise to him. She has taken cared of. It hurt her so much when the woman he was forced to marry killed him."
"Lord Oberon."
"Yes. Your mother went above and whispered into a playwright's ear and he made him a great Fae king and used her true name to make her his queen."
Jareth nodded. He knew exactly his mother had talked to.
The High King smiled. "Love her, Jareth. Cherish her. And protect her. She is weaker than us and there will be those who will not be happy with your choice."
"I will."
The older king looked at the door. "I believe we better let them in."
Jareth nodded as he walked to the door that led to the hallway. He opened it and smiled at his mother and Sarah.
"It's all right. You both can come in."
Jareth moved to the side as they entered. He watched as his mother went to his father's side. Sarah remained near the door.
"I need to talk to you."
Jareth nodded and glanced at his parents.
His mother smiled. "Go on. Your father and I need to return to Morhaim."
Jareth nodded and offered his arm to Sarah. The two of them walked out of the room.
Well, you'll have to wait and see what's next. For a story I planned at most to be three chapters this thing is going huh? So tell me what you think. I have to go read today. I may have time to write the next chapter, but I want to work on D and N first. So review please. It's my Halloween candy. :)
