A/N I'm back! And yeah, I guess farming isn't so bad-but it is when you go to Alabama the week the storms tear through...

Anyway, I edited 12-13-14 and put them all as chapter 12, since it seemed short and I edited them(idk what I am doing either)...so for your patience you get edited-extended chapter(s)!

Toby is half Fae, Sarah is purely human, Karen is Lillith, Jareth wears tight pants and has a brother who is high king, Sarah is pregnant and Lillith-Karen does not know (yet). So caught up?

Sarah

"What did you do?" I asked in a whisper, in fear for my child.

"A claiming spell," I opened my eyes, and realized I was back in his bedroom. "There is no going back now."

I looked into his eyes-mismatched. One blue and one brown. The blue wasn't light-but it wasn't dark either-and it was full of warmth, like a bright and warm sky. His brown eye was dark, but also full of warmth-like warm honey, only darker.

"A what?" I couldn't help asking. Had he done something to the baby? What if he had? That alone gave me the strength to stand.

"A claiming spell," he lifted my left hand-and I saw dark lines on my ring finger.

He pressed his lips to the lines, and they twisted around my finger, before finally settling in a new pattern.

"Wh-what-"

"Claiming spells-in mundane terms, a….wedding of sorts," he shrugged, and I felt panic twist in my gut.

"A wedding?"

He nodded, enter twinning our fingers. "Although, its much stronger. There is no loophole out of it."

It felt like my stomach was gone. We stood that way for several minutes-me trying to wrap my head around it, and him playing with my fingers, leaning down to kiss my hand several times.

"But I'm only sixteen!" I finally gasped out, wrenching my hand away from him.

His gaze turned dark-the way it had when I had told him he had no power over me. I cringed as he raised his hand-expecting a slap-but instead he cupped my cheek with it.

"Even younger marry here Sarah. You must remember things are different here."

"I-" I couldn't think of anything.

"Rest," he turned me to the bed-my back fitting into his chest-the top of my head only just reaching his collar bone.

I freaked. Not again. Please, God, not again.

"Relax, your honeymoon will not start tonight."

I looked up at him in horror.

"You mean, even though I'm pregnant…?" I couldn't say it. Couldn't think it. My mind was cringing away from the thought.

"Why wouldn't you? You're only…what? Four weeks along?" he looked down at my body-and even though I was dressed-and I felt so exposed, ill, disgusted…violated…as if he could see through the fabric. I could see the lust clearly written in his gaze.

I tried to step out of his arms-but it was like a vise-and he laughed.

"The idea is…entrancing, but since there is a runner…well…" he looked down at me, gaze still clouded over. "I'm afraid that it will have to wait."

He shifted my hair to the side, and pressed his lips to my neck. I shivered in terror-and he grinned against my skin.

"My wife," he stated simply, letting me go.

Balance overthrown, I stumbled, and he caught me by my elbow-chuckling under his breath.

I righted myself, and turned to see him looking me over-and I was thankful there was a runner.

"Where's Toby?" I asked, and he turned his head to the side.

"He's here, in the castle," he waved his hand, dismissing the subject.

"Please, can I see him?" I asked, stepping back from him.

He grinned-like a cat that's had its cream.

"He can stay here, with you, if you want," he said, and I knew that there would be a consequence. "If…"

Of course. There it was.

"If?" I asked, wondering what he would ask for.

"Kiss me."

Jareth

"Berdium."

Kelget nodded, and bolted out the door as fast as his fat legs could carry him.

I leaned back, and rubbed my hand over my face. Damn it! Why was Lillith there? Of all places?

But then again, I sighed as I stood, and went to the window. Without Lillith's wish, Sarah would not be here.

My heir would not be here.

I felt pride swell in my chest. A child. A little after a damned two millennium of waiting.

Sarah was still in my rooms-I didn't know any better place to leave her for now. I didn't know what her and Lillith's relationship was-though I was sure that Lillith was her stepmother-and what Sarah would do to get Toby back to the mortal realm.

Thinking of Sarah though, it was…different having her here in the castle-instead of resisting the urge to go back to her home and bring her here, with or without rules and laws being broken.

I grinned as I thought of her shiver when I had kissed her neck-she was much more willing to be mine than she would admit to herself-and the kiss. I doubted from the kiss she had kissed many…boys. But it was still entrancing. If she got any better, she would have me on my knees begging her to-

"You called?"

I looked up to see Berdium here already-though I had expected to wait a few hours. He grinned at my surprised expression.

"I took the day for myself," he shrugged. "I had to know how my younger brother faired-if he was successful."

I shrugged, acting casual. "If you consider fathering a child successful, then…"

I let the sentence hang as his smile broadened.

"You issued the claiming, yes?"

"As soon as I found out," I told him honestly.

"Well, well," he joined me by the window, and looked over the Labyrinth. "You realize in the eyes of the Fae she is-to use a mundane term-your wife?"

"Of course," as she would have to be for the child not to be a bastard. And after waiting for so long for a child..."as she is the mother of my heir as well."

"Of course, I forget," he rolled his eyes, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Although, we have a problem," I said, returning my attention to the window. I saw him raise his eyebrow out of the corner of my eye. So I clarified with one word: "Lillith."

"What? She was banished…well, when you became Goblin King," he sputtered, trying to figure out why the bitch had suddenly resurfaced.

"Her son is the babe that was 'won' from me," I said simply.

"How was Sarah mistaken as the wisher anyhow?"

"The boy's sister-half-sister I assume, she bears no trace of Lillith's magic-and the goblins failed to inform me that Sarah was not the wisher."

"But why would she be in the mortal realm?" he referred to Lillith now.

"It is out of our…range," I guessed-the mortal realm was out of our range…in fact it was the perfect place for a Fae to hide.

"And Lillith is currently…?"

"In the Labyrinth, yes," I nodded towards it, before turning back to the desk.

"You do realize…." he stopped, and I looked back to see him still by the window.

"Well? What do I realize?" I snapped, impatiently. He raised his eyebrows.

"You always forget your place don't you?" he shook his head sadly. "And you never did care for secrets."

"None that are kept from me," I snapped, dropping into the desk's chair.

"Lillith did…well, she did try to keep father and uncle childless," he said, moving to stand in front of the desk.

I eyed him coldly. "And this relates to us how? Father already had us-and several other children before she arrived."

"But uncle didn't," he pointed at the Labyrinth. "The Labyrinth, whoever controls it controls…well you know."

He waved it off, knowing as well as I did what ruling over the Labyrinth meant.

"Will you get to the point?" I was more than impatient by this point.

"You remember, she tried to kill, well, you and our brothers?"

I nodded, unfortunately for her, she had used poison-too easy to find when you were a Fae.

"But why? To what end?" he continued pointing at the Labyrinth. "Why keep uncle childless? Why kill you and our brothers? Why become our father's mistress and try to kill mother? To what end?"

"To rule the Labyrinth," I nodded, understanding. "With uncle childless, you would be High King. With us gone the Goblin Kingdom would have no heirs. With mother gone, she could worm her way into being queen as she wormed her way into father's bed."

"Precisely," Berdium paced in front of the desk. "Control of the Labyrinth."

I shook my head, rubbing my temples. "Nothing more than a headache now-she can't gain control over the Labyrinth now."

"Can't she? She nearly succeeded before….and father's will of course."

Damn it! I had nearly forgotten about the damn thing. But, there was nothing to be done about it. After all, I had a heir now…

My whole body froze. The will…my heir...

"Sarah," I whispered, understanding what he was getting at now.

"Exactly, father stated, 'If my son should succeed the throne without an heir of his own blood or die without a child of his own blood to succeed him-then I leave my kingdom to Lillith, who cares about the kingdom as if it were her own child.'" he shook his head. "Father was a damned fool when it came to Lillith."

I pinched the bridge of my nose-though Lillith always seemed like a headache, she was always much, much worse.

"We have to get her out of the Labyrinth," I stated simply, standing up, and heading to the door.

I heard Berdium's footsteps close behind me.

"I'll have several guards sent here and we can-"

An elf ran as fast as his lags could carry him towards us.

"High King!" he panted out. "There's a problem-imperative-back to the kingdom-"

"I can distract her long enough I suppose," I said, as the elf fell and started wailing at his feet. "She only has twelve hours left, before she goes back to the mortal world."

Berdium nodded. "But I'll send some guards."

I nodded, just before he and the elf vanished.

Sarah

True to his word, he sent Toby to the rooms-but the goblin that brought him informed me that we were not allowed to leave the rooms. After the goblin had left, I had raced to the door-only to find it locked.

"Well, thats the way it is, I suppose," I sighed, turning back to Toby.

He looked up at me with his bright blue eyes, and giggled.

I scooped him up-hugging him close. "I missed you."

"Bah bah," he cooed.

I shifted him to rest on my hip. "Lets see if we can explore."

Lets see if we can at least get out of this room.

I walked across the carpeted floor-before I realized that my feet were bare-and my feet sunk into the deep carpet.

His room was barbaric in design. With almost crudely shaped furniture-though I noticed that the bed was raised on steps, but the mattress rested on a stone table. I was surprised how soft it had been…

I fought off nausea as I headed toward the only other door out of the room.

I opened the door and found a long bathroom. Surprisingly, modern-though slightly….barbaric.

Like the bedroom, everything was cut to be beautiful-in a disgustingly barbaric way.

I noticed there was another door at the other side-and I headed for that door.

I opened it to find another bedroom-this one also had another door, but it was locked-and I looked around.

It was lovely-not barbaric-with calming greens and blues all around, unlike the dark colors in the Goblin King's room and the bathroom.

"You want to pay in here?" I asked Toby-who only responded in raspberries.

…..

I heard a sudden crash from the bathroom.

I scooped Toby up and cradled him close.

"Oh, 'earie me," I heard a feminine voice say, before a withered head poked in through the door. "You wouln't hap' to ve master's wifey woul' you?"

"I suppose I am," I said in a distressed tone.

"Yep, I'm ta give you yer sup and take the babe to his 'oom," she bowed. "'ot that it matter, but I'm Creatcher."

"Creatcher?" she nodded, enthusiastically.

"Anythang you 'sire mis?" she asked.

"Dinner would be nice, please," I said hesitantly.

She grinned, revealing a mouth with several missing teeth. "'or the babe too?"

"Please." I smiled at her, just a small thank-you smile-and she blushed.

She scampered from the room-through the bathroom again, and I could hear her muttering in her broken way about the 'hona of bin smilt at by the master's wifey!'

I flinched at the words, but managed to grin at Toby.

"Well, at least the goblins aren't so bad are they?" I asked him. He giggled at me, and squirmed to be put back on the floor.

I sat him down, and laid down on the carpet next to him.

Jareth

"Thats not fair!" Lillith cried as I reappeared. She wasn't addressing me-she was addressing a dead end.

"You say that so often-I wonder what your basis for comparison is?" I spoke aloud-and she whirled, glaring at me.

"Jareth," she hissed, stomping her foot. "Just give me the child back."

"Too late," I couldn't help but grin. "It seems you're time is up."

Now she could leave-and since she couldn't return to the Underground on her own…

My Sarah and my heir would be safe.

"No!" she screamed at me-she ran at me, and I caught her wrists easily. I felt for a second as if I were made of pure energy, and I let her go.

She stumbled back-stumbling into the child's crib.

"No! Take me back! Give me my son!" she hissed, hands tightening around the bars.

"Really, whats said is said," I crossed my arms, I heard her scream as the room vanished-and I was back in the Labyrinth.

"M'Lord."

I looked over to see some of the Fae guards Berdium had sent.

"Well?" I walked over to them, hands clasped behind my back.

"I made sure Lillith was stuck in the hedges, m'lord," the first-Eden, or something along those lines-said, bowing slightly. "Though, if I may speak freely for a moment?"

"A moment," I agreed hesitantly.

"I do not think she even knows of the child-help me understand, but, why the haste in getting rid of her?"

"You know as well as I do what would happen if she were to find out," I narrowed my eyes at him, and he fell into an apologetic bow.

"Of course, forgive my outburst," he said, taking a step back and bowing his head.

"M'Lord? We await your order," the other guard said suddenly-re-alerting me to his presence.

"Have three of the strongest-including yourself-find accommodations in the castle until I summon for you. Send three of the shadows to keep watch over Lillith-and send reports should anything happen-send the rest back to Berdium," I said dismissivly, transforming my body into the familiar shape of an owl.

I flew to the balcony that was on a tower-one of the higher ones-and landed on the rail. I heard several light pops as my bones rearranged themselves back into my humanoid shape.

I let nimbly down from my perch-and pushed open the doors.

They shut silently behind me-and if I hadn't known better, I would have said they weren't there. Unfortunately, one of the design flaws of the room-the doors to the balcony could only be opened through magic.

I frowned when I realized Sarah was not in the room-until I saw the bathroom (a/n would he call it a bathroom or does that feel too OOC?) door open.

I made my way through it quicker then I ever had before-and I found her on the floor of the Queen's room-a room that had never been used.

She was asleep-the child curled next to her-and I couldn't help the smile as I thought of my own heir, growing within her. How, perhaps one day I would walk in and see this scene again-only with my own child laying beside her.

I felt my arousal stir as I watched her sleep, she looked a thousand times more beautiful every time I saw her.

I walked foreword, picking up the child first. I took him to the nursery-reappearing back within the room within seconds.

I slipped my arms under her surprisingly light frame-and I couldn't help but notice how wonderful she felt, how her body warmed mine within seconds.

I took her back to my room-laying her in the bed, waving my hand ideally over her, changing her into a nightdress without any real hassle-before stripping myself and crawling in next to her. Enjoying the few seconds with her so close-with no runner-with no goblins creating mayhem.

I looked over her slumbering figure, hell, was this lust or love?

I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and placed my hand protectively over her abdomen, deciding to wonder at it later.

Sarah

When I woke up I was back in the Goblin King's rooms. I pulled the sheets around me as I sat up-wondering how I got back here. The last thing I remembered was playing with Toby on the floor after Creatcher and another goblin had taken away the bottle and dishes.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized I was alone. Maybe….

I swung my legs out of the bed-a nightdress twisting around my waist as I did so-and I realized my underwear (bra included) were missing.

I defiantly wasn't wearing a nightdress when I went to sleep.

Yeah, and your underwear was on too, a part of me reminded me.

I went to the bathroom door-twisting the nightgown into order. I don't know what I expected to find in there-but the Goblin King running a towel through his hair was not one of them.

I froze by the door, hand still on the knob. He hummed a tune I didn't recognize, and then he turned.

"How did you sleep precious thing?" he smiled at me, and stepped towards me. I gripped the knob in a death grip, and dry swallowed.

He reached out, and stroked my cheek-nausea rose in the back of my throat. At first I assumed it was just from being near him-but then I bolted for the toilet.

I felt his cool hands on the back of my neck and on my forehead-then my hair was swept back, and I felt his lips on the back of my neck.

It defiantly didn't help my stomach.

Roger

"Karen? Toby? Sarah?" I called as I tossed my briefcase into the study-the one place Karen left well-enough-alone.

It was unusually quiet in the house-then a scream sounded from upstairs.

I ran up them-and resolved to take up running as I went at an infuriatingly slow pace. Note to self: take up running.

I swung myself into the room-the nursery, where Karen had thrown herself onto the floor, sobbing.

"Karen!" I rushed forewords and wrapped myself around her. I held her sobbing body close, and realized how bad she looked. "Are you alright?"

"No!" she cried, wrenching herself away from me, and standing up. "I-"

She stopped.

"What? You what?"

"No," she said, slowly shaking her head. "No, not me. Toby."

"What about him?" I asked as I took in her ashen cheeks and ruined clothes. I could even see some faint scratches. "Karen what happened?"

She shook her head. "Oh if only you knew."

"Then tell me!" I got up, and stood beside her. "Karen. What. Is. Going. On?"

"A-a….man, kidnapped Toby, and took Sarah," she said, in a whisper.

"What?" I bolted out of the room, and went for the first phone I could find.

With trembling fingers I dialed for the police station.
