Finally the baby is here. Only a few more chapters left. Soon this one will be behind me. Just so you know. I researched about this. Also I used to watch a Baby Story a lot. Don't watch much TV anymore. Thanks for the reviews and reading.

Chapter 9

Jareth sat outside the hospital room. He needed a break. Sarah's screams and watching her in pain drove him out. He glanced at Hoggle beside him. Both needed a break. Jareth closed his eyes. How much longer is this going to take? When will they give her that thing to lessen her pain? A nurse came and tapped him on the shoulder. Jareth opened his eyes and looked at him. "Her epidural's taken effect and she wants you back inside." Jareth nodded. He rose and went back into the room.

Sarah laid on the hospital bed. Now she only felt the contractions of her muscle moving but no pain. Now this is better. Relaxing as she leaned back the door opened. Jareth walked in slowly. Sarah smiled at him. "Sorry about that." He only smiled as he walked closer to her. Sitting in the chair beside the bed, Jareth took hold of her hand. Bringing it up to his lips, Jareth smirked. "I don't like seeing you in pain. Especially if I'm the cause." Sarah sat up as he lowered her hand. Sarah smiled at him. "It's not your fault." She put her hand on belly. "It's this one fault. I almost wished we'd found out what it is." Jareth smiled and place his hand over hers.

Hours later. The entire Williams family and Hoggle sat outside the room. Toby sat beside Hoggle while across the hall sat his parents. Inside the room behind him, his big sister was having her baby. Only doctors and Jareth were with her. Toby looked down at the book in his hands. Not even the newest Harry Potter can compare with the fact I'm about to be an uncle. Closing his book, he glanced at his parents. His father was chatting with a doctor while his mother just sat looking at her hands.

Jareth sat in his chair. Looking at Sarah in shock. They have to cut open Sarah to get to the baby. The baby's in trouble. He placed his face into his hands. Now it has gotten worse. Hearing the doctor leave them alone in the room, Jareth raised his face to Sarah. She was leaning back against the raised bed.

Sarah closed her eyes. This isn't what I planned, but as long as the baby is safe. She felt Jareth's hand on hers. Opening her eyes, Sarah looked at Jareth. Worry and fear filled his face. Sarah smiled. "Don't worry. C-sections are becoming a normal occurrence nowadays, but I was hoping I wouldn't have one." Jareth squeezed her hand.

Robert Williams listened to Dr. Reynolds. "She's doing fine, but the baby isn't. We're getting her ready for a cesarean section. I'm more worried about that husband of hers." Dr. Reynolds shook her head. "The poor guy's face got really white when she explained what a C-section means." Robert nodded.

Sarah laid on the operating table. The blue hair cap on her head. The blue trap separated her from the true operation. Dr. Reynolds stood on the other side preparing her. Closing her eyes, Sarah tried to relax. Please let the baby be o.k.

Toby sat in the waiting room beside Hoggle. Both were worried. Hoggle held onto Toby's hand. Toby glanced at his mother. She appeared to be reading a copy of People magazine, but he could she the smile on her face. Why is Mom smiling cause Sarah's having a C-section? Toby then glanced at his father. Robert Williams sat near the door. Toby watched as when someone past the doorway his father getting up and then slowly sitting back down.

Hoggle held the crystal that Jareth had given him. He'd left the waiting room with Toby and now stood inside the Men's room. Toby stood on look out as he called Sir Didymus and Ludo. His two friends enter the room through the mirrors. Hoggle quickly told his friends the news. Sir Didymus shook his head. "The poor lady. Will the baby be all right, Sir Hoggle?" Ludo began, to what appeared to all in the room, to cry. Hoggle walked over to him quickly. "Hush, Ludo. Someone might hear and then Jareth'll get me." Ludo quieted down.

Suddenly Toby turned to face them. "Someone's coming." Ludo and Sir Didymus hurried back toward the mirrors. Ludo entered first. Sir Didymus stopped and turned to face Hoggle. "Call us when the little one is here, Sir Hoggle. Please find a way so we can see it." Hoggle nodded and shooed him with his hands. "Go, Didymus." Sir Didymus followed Ludo into the mirror. Robert opened the door to see his son washing his hand while Hoggle stood near the door as if waiting for him.

Jareth held onto Sarah's hand and only looked at her face not daring to look behind the curtain. Sarah squeezed his hand trying to reassure him, but he was still worried. I could lose both of them. Jareth slowly bent down and kissed Sarah's hand. I can only imagine what she's going through. Her green eyes filling with tears looked at him.

Sarah felt the pushing and pulling inside her, but no pain. Dr. Reynolds's voice would tell her everything was fine. Nothing is fine until I'm safe and sound back in my room with my baby. Jareth's hand in hers reminded her she wasn't alone. Tears began to form in her eyes. All of her fears and worrying came into her eyes. She looked over at Jareth. He placed his other hand on her cheek. Sarah placed her other hand over his on her cheek and smiled.

Robert led Toby and Hoggle back to the waiting room. As he began to enter he noticed his wife on the phone in the waiting room. Pushing Toby and Hoggle along the wall, he listened to her. She was talking quietly but he heard one thing that made him angry. "Oh, Craig. She had to have a C-section. So right now she is in the operation room. If she had listened to me, right now she and you could be in New York celebrating your success with your baby in her belly. But the little brat had to go and mess up my plans." Robert looked at his son and the friend of his son-in-law and daughter. So she had planned to sell my daughter to the highest bidder. Wait, a minute? Craig?! As in her nephew? The guy she set Sarah up on that blind date.

Robert sledded down the wall. Toby touched his father's shoulder. "Dad, are you O.K.?" Robert looked up at him. He nodded, but was looking ahead. Toby glanced at Hoggle. The two left Robert alone and went back inside the waiting room as Irene put the phone on the jack.

Robert still sat on the floor outside the room. Coming to grips that his wife wasn't who he thought she was. Inside the waiting room, two friends whispered to two others inside a crystal sphere. Down the hall inside an operation room, a baby, a child of the former Goblin King and the Champion of his labyrinth, cried its first cry.

Sorry for the suspense. You'll find out what the baby is and its name in the next chapter. Thanks for reading. Please review.
