Chapter 36 – Unexpected Things
Devin was happy to see hear that Kiara was able to go and soon it was time to leave. They got onto the boat and found their cabin and took some time to enjoy the comfortable bed. Afterwards the headed towards the pool and Kiara smiled seeing some of her friends were already there. She brought Devin over to introduce him to everyone. "Devin, there are some of the people I work with over at the pool."
"Why are they all here?"
"How do you think I got the week off?" she said with a wink. He laughed and followed her over to where Jareth and Celestia were sitting sunbathing. "Hi Jareth."
The Goblin King looked up to see Kiara in a tiny blue bikini; his eyes lingered on her body much longer than Devin and Celestia would have liked. He felt her start getting anxious and moved his eyes the rest of the way up. "Well little fairy, this must be the man that you keep leaving your daughter on my doorstep for."
Kiara shook her head at the king, "Devin meet Jareth and his girlfriend Celestia." The two fae just nodded a greeting and went back to their sunbathing. She sighed and brought Devin over to meet Katrina, Rubina and Hoggle who were much nicer to him than the fae were.
When they were finally alone swimming in the pool Devin had to ask, "Why do they call you a fairy?"
Kiara almost laughed realizing that they still talked to her like she was underground, "It's a nickname. Later tonight you can meet my friend Shar'i and Jareth calls her a vampire because she has a skin condition that doesn't let her be out in the sun." Devin nodded still not understanding where Kiara got her nickname from, but he decided that it didn't matter and started swimming with her again.
Jareth sat in his chair feeling the jealousy boil up inside him. It was one thing to know that Kiara was interested in another man, but now he had to sit here and see it for a whole week. Katrina was watching him closely wondering why he seemed to be so angry with her fellow fairy, but only one thing came to her mind and it couldn't have been true, could it?
That evening Katrina called Shar'i, Rubina and Hoggle together. "Ok people, Jareth loves Kiara and Kiara loves Jareth. We all know that, but for some stupid reason they don't. We need to get them together tonight."
"She keeps using the stupid excuse that it's too confusing and I think since the seer told her that she would bond with someone someday so she thinks she can't be with Jareth," Shar'i added while wishing they could get this meeting over with so she could find something to eat.
Eventually they came up with their plan. Shar'i took Celestia to see the fish under the water while Hoggle and Rubina kept Devin entertained leaving a note for Kiara and Jareth to meet each other near the pool. The two found each other and waited to hear what the other one wanted.
Katrina stood behind and watched as they made their normal small talk and fake arguments. They weren't getting anywhere even if they were alone, they needed a little push. Katrina used her fairy magic to turn herself into a shadow getting herself close to Kiara's ear she whispered to her to tell Jareth what she felt. She did the same for Jareth and melted back into the shadows.
"Did you hear something?" Jareth asked turned around and looking at the empty deck.
"No," Kiara said. Her heart pounded as something in her mind told her that this was the best possible time for them to talk about their relationship. "Jareth we need to talk about us."
Jareth froze thinking the worst. He knew that she enjoyed being with that Devin and the seriousness in her voice made him believe that she was going to leave the labyrinth for him. "Don't tell me."
"I have to," Kiara said trying not to shake. "I really like Devin, but… there is someone I love more and if he feels the same way I need to know before I make a decision."
Jareth looked slightly confused, "Don't leave the labyrinth."
"I wasn't planning on it. Jareth what would you say if I said I wanted to be the one to give you an heir?" Kiara's heart pounded and every second Jareth didn't answer was breaking it.
"Why didn't you say you wanted that before?"
Kiara shrugged looking at the ground, "I didn't know before. Sometimes I can't stand you Jareth, but other times I… I think I love you." She shook her head trying to keep tears from forming. "Forget it. It doesn't matter; I shouldn't have brought it up." She started to leave but an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
"I don't hate you," Jareth whispered into her ear, "And if you promise not to tell anyone I said this… I love you too." Kiara turned around with a surprised look. Jareth laughed, "I can't stand seeing you with that human and I hate seeing you get hurt. Most of all I hated it when you left before and not because I was going to die." Kiara couldn't believe that he was actually fully opening up to her. "Kiara I wouldn't hate it if you gave me an heir and spent the rest of your life living with me in the castle."
Kiara smirked, "Wouldn't hate it? Does that mean you will tolerate it? Or will you like it?"
Jareth smiled, "You can figure that out yourself."
Kiara broke up with Devin the next day and all of them returned to the underground. Celestia moved back to the vampire caves, but Shar'i stayed in the labyrinth. Katrina left her clan and moved in with Shar'i. Rubina found out shortly after her return that she was pregnant and Hoggle couldn't have been happier.
Kiara and Raven moved into the castle and on that day found Jareth and Jay in the throne room. Jareth had some good news for her, "Jay has completed his change to a fae and it seems that he belongs with me. He will be my heir."
"That's great!" Kiara said cheering giving Jareth a long kiss, their first kiss since admitting their love. Fireworks were shooting through the skies and magic swept around them. "What was that?" Kiara asked.
Jareth's eyes widened, "What you've been waiting for although I don't know how." Kiara couldn't believe it, but she could definitely feel it a bond, a pull, a need to be with Jareth. They bonded. They stared at each other for quite some time before they felt it again but to the right of them. They saw Raven and Jay staring at each other strangely. "Well that might be weird," he said.
"They just….?" Kiara asked in amazement. Jareth nodded as the two toddlers held hands walking over to their toys to play. Kiara looked up at Jareth and laughed giving him another passionate kiss. For the first time in over 1,000 years there was a lot of love in that castle.
