Here you all go!

I think this is officially the longest story I have ever written and in the shortest amount of time. The Hubby is back from his trip. So updates me take a day or two as I won't uninterrupted evening to type anymore! All so It's my birthday Thursday!

Chapter 14

As they walked out Sarah noticed her father in a deep conversation with the high king. 'He must be talking about work.' she thought and noticed Irene, Amira, and the High Queen were chatting. Dmitri was playing with Toby, showing him magic tricks that made him clap and squeal. She smiled and then saw in the far corner was a large fur ball and small dwarf.

"Hoggle and Ludo!" she clapped her hands at the surprise.

"You asked them to be here, sadly the other pipsqueak of what you call friends sends his regret."

"Didymus is not-" Sarah started and decided she didn't want to ruin the evening. "Thank you."

By then everyone noticed that the bride and groom were among them. The High King and Queen stepped forward. " Congratulations, I hope you two well have many years of happiness," Deirdre smiled her lovely smile that could be anyone at ease.

"Congratulations, I hope you two well have many years of happiness," Deirdre smiled her lovely smile that could be anyone at ease.

"Thank you, mother." Jareth smiled and pulled Sarah slightly closer to him who nodded in agreement."

"And thank you for the circlet," Sarah added. "I'll have Amira return it tomorrow to you."

"Keep it," Deirdre told her. "I have many others, and you will need to start your collection anyway. It's good to have a daughter who actually enjoys these things." Deidre looked over at Amira was dressed more like a musketeer than a princess.

"I will take the utmost care of it," Sarah told her and gave her a small hug which shocked the queen slightly. "Sorry I come from a family of huggers," she explained.

"It is fine," Deirdre smiled. "Not many have the courage to touch us, so it is refreshing."

They made their rounds and eventually Sarah made it to Hoggle and Ludo and hugged them as best as she could happy to see them again.

"I can't believe you married him," Hoggle said shaking his head.

"Watch what you say Hogsmeade," Jareth told him tutting as he came up behind Sarah.

"Just ignore him, Hoggle, he won't harm you." Sarah looked at Jareth. "Hoggle just a concerned friend so be nice." she poked him in the stomach.

"I'm so glad you both came," Sarah told them both Ludo made a few sounds and she smiled.

Jareth looked over at Sarah as they sat down for dinner. It seemed the underground food was agreeing with her because he never actually seen her eat this much since coming here.

He looked over at her parents who were slightly amused by it

Sarah looked up and saw everyone looking at her and blushed. "Its been a while since food was this good."

Jareth laughed. "Do continue, you are still much slender for your condition."

"When are you due?" Deirdre asked.

"Umm, I'm about 24 weeks at the moment," Sarah spoke after a moment thinking about it. "That seems about right. It's been little over two weeks since I've been here. My original due date was early/mid-January."

"So you probably only be a few weeks after Amira then, such a great gift to have two grandchildren at the same time. It generally does not happen here." Eldron spoke up. "Then again we had given up on Jareth on ever entering a bonded state."

"Well, I am happy to have a sister," Amira spoke out. "We can navigate motherhood together, we can screw up our children together."

Everyone laughed.

"I'm sure you'll both do fine," Irene told him. "It's a lot of work, but it a great gift," she said as she looked at Toby sitting in a high chair between her and Robert, eating some mashed up food.

The evening faded out, with Sarah parent leaving to go home and put Toby to bed because it was well past his bedtime. Jareth's parents had to leave as well as they had to announce the union the next morning to the court. Later after the child was born Sarah would be introduced properly to the court, to avoid any stress on her condition at the time being.

Amira and Dmitri stayed the night, as she often stayed at her brother's palace and had her room there.

Jareth walked his bride up to the royal suite. She seemed to be half asleep already, the ladies maid he chooses was waiting by the door for her mistress. she smiled and went into the room to give them a moment of privacy to say goodnight to each other.

"Get some rest," Jareth spoke softly. "And you let your mother a rest.' he said feeling his daughter's constant movements from his mark as he placed his palm on her, the feeling was quite different in person. his mark rippled or gave tiny pings as she moved or kicked. But as Sarah allowed to actually let him feel her, beneath her skin it was something exquisite.

"She is quite temperamental when she is tired." he teased.

Sarah rolled her eyes but leaned into him slightly. "Thank you for bringing everyone today." She told him, she gave him a shy kiss on the cheek before walking into her room.

Where Lydia was waiting for her, and hastily helped her undress and prepare for bed.

Sarah didn't know what really woke up, the lightning or the thunder. Ever since she was a child she adored watching storms. She grabbed her robe and slippers and went out of the small balcony that her room had and opened the glass doors that squeaked as she did it. It was covered by a large arch so the rain didn't hit her.

She leaned against the stone as she saw the lightning flash in the distance.

"What are you doing outside in this weather?" Jareth asked her suddenly behind her in just his lounge pants. "You'll catch a cold."

"Do you ever sleep? Or do you just have a sense of when I wake?" Sarah asked him and then continued to explain why she was outdoors. "I wanted to watch the storm, I think they are beautiful to watch."

"I heard the door open," Jareth told her. "Please come inside, if you wish to watch the storm you can do it from the window in my room."

Sarah raised an eyebrow at him.

"It's just to watch the storm. You do not need to worry." Jareth told her leading her inside. Her door was still open from him entering from the hallway, but he led her through the other connecting door inside her room.

First thing Sarah did was look around his room, its was all dark blues and green with dark stained wood. A gigantic bed which was facing a large window that she never noticed before that overlooked the Labyrinth.

"You can see out of it, but no one can see the window itself," Jareth explained as lightning flashed once again in the sky as he built up the fire to keep away the chill.

Sarah looked around and sat gingerly on the bed hat faced the window as there were no chairs to be seen.

"Just relax Precious." Jareth told her and knelt in front of her "Curl up and just watch the storm. " he said as he removed her slippers for her, his hand gripping around her ankle as he did each foot.

Sarah nodded and swung her feet turning herself and learned into the pillows as she faced the window. Jareth pulled the coverlet over her watching her eyes never leaving the storm. He walked around the other side of the bed and crawled into it. He turned to face her but kept himself a distance away from her.

He wasn't sure how long it had been as they lay there in silence, but he felt her wiggle herself backward closer to him. He could feel his daughter being quite active from the constant rippling feeling on his wrist.

Jareth wrapped his arm around her and rubbed a soothing pattern on her stomach. Their daughter calming after a few moments, and he could feel Sarah breathing slow and become more relaxed as she fell asleep.

Jareth pulled her closer smelling her hair and let his eyes close. It may not be the wedding night he always envisioned he might have, but it was perfect with his wife and child in his arms.

The first thing that Sarah noticed as she woke up was the heavy arm around her and placed protectively on her stomach. The second thing she noticed with the sunlight hitting the clue covers. She definitely wasn't in her room, and she thought back to the storm that had taken place and bringing her inside after finding her outside to watch it.

She felt Jareth nuzzle her neck in his sleep and sighed at the feeling, but she knew she must stop him, this was getting far too complicated fast. Why did she have to be so confused about everything? The feeling in his arms brought back so many emotions back from her self-conscious that it boggled her mind.

Sarah decided to push the thoughts away and just ignore them at the moment wanting to sleep more and having no energy to get up from the warmth that surrounded her.

When Jareth awoke he was surprised that Sarah was still in his bed, still asleep. He glanced at the clock and it was 8:30 in the morning, he had slept in. Sarah has still curled up again him. He pressed a kiss on the top of her head.

He carefully detached himself from Sarah and walked to the bathroom, he bathed quickly and dressed in a white shirt and grey pants with a black waistcoat for the day.

He dried his hair and heard a knock at the door. He quickly answered it to see his sister, he quickly shut the door behind him as he stepped out of his room, hoping she wouldn't notice Sarah still sleeping in his bed. But with one look of a raised eyebrow, he knew that she saw. He dragged her down to the study before he allowed her to talk.

"I was going to ask if you saw Sarah this morning, but it seems you know exactly where she is." Amira spat at him like he was a monster.

"It's not what it looks like. She went outside to watch the storm in the middle of the night." Jareth tried to calm her down. "We just watched the storm and slept, nothing more. I couldn't let her watch a storm in the middle of the night, out on her balcony, its bloody October."

Amira looked at him with narrowed eyes for a moment, trying to figure out if he was lying or not. She gave up as she saw his eyes plead with her.

"You really have taken to her," Jareth said after a moment. "I haven't ever seen you so protective."

Amira shrugged. "She's like a sister I never had, I want to protect her. It may have happened before I was born but I did grow up in the aftermath."

"I will not harm her, I know I had my dark days Amira. I know for the first years of your life I was selfish and dark. But I did I take the blame for what had happened, and I took the punishment for it. But I am not that man anymore. I haven't been for a long time." Jareth told her.

"I know, have you told her about what happened," Amira asked him.

Jareth shook his head. "She knows of her, but not anything else."

"Well brother, if you want her to trust you, you have to trust yourself to trust that she will understand," Amira spoke gently. "I know you feel guilty and you punished yourself for it, for longer than you should have. I know I told you to give up on mythical Sarah. But I was wrong, they fortune teller was right about the two of you and you are meant for one another." Amira told him.

When Sarah awoke once more she was alone. She sat up in the large bed and looked out the window once more. "That was probably one of the best sleep I have had in a while." she thought to herself.

She got out of bed and used the passageway to get back to her room where she found Lydia choosing a few dresses for her.

"A Bath m'lady," She asked like nothing was out of the ordinary.

"umm, sure," Sarah said blushing and followed her into the bath. It wasn't till she was alone and stripped out of her nightgown she held it up to her nose and took a deep breath. It smelt like him, that same spicy smell that's engrained in her memory, the one that she never could forget.
