It had been four months since Sarah had come to live with Jareth, and she had been thoroughly enjoying it. . . Even when the Goblin King persuaded her to go back to the karaoke bar.

But meanwhile, on the Earth, Toby missed Sarah. . . a lot. He would every once in awhile just start crying and scream, "Sawah!" or "Jawef!" But one day, Toby felt especially sad. Because his little mind was trying to figure out a way to see Sarah, he began faintly remembering something Sarah had said that had made Jareth come and take him away. "I wish. . . the goblins *would* come take you away. . . right now." The little two and a half year old sniffled and wiped some tears away. "I wish. . . de gobwins would come take me away. . . wite now!!" He yelled.

Jareth suddenly looked up. "What's wrong?" Sarah asked him. Normally, when the couple was watching ' Three's Company', nothing could distract him. "Toby. . ." Jareth said. Sarah gave the King a confused look. "Toby? What about Toby?" She questioned. Jareth stood up and motioned for Sarah to follow him to the throne room. On his throne was a little circular crystal. "It's Toby. He's wishing to come here to the Underground." The Goblin King told Sarah. The brunette girl pursed her lips, confused. "Why ever would he want to come here?" Jareth shrugged and began walking off for the room where they had contently been watching 'Three's Company' reruns. "Hey! Jareth, wait! He wished to come here! You can't just leave him there. He's crying. . . he's miserable!" Sarah exclaimed. Jareth shrugged. "I gave only you permission to ever make such requests of me." He told her, un-pausing the show. Sarah stood silent in the same spot for a second then she yelled, "I wish Toby were here right now!"

Jareth groaned. That stubborn girl. . . Why was it *her* of all the people in the world he had to love, huh?! He, somewhat reluctantly, snapped his fingers, making Toby appear in Sarah's arms. "You're taking care of the child, not I." The stubborn King told the mortal girl, rewinding the show a little. Sarah smiled down at Toby. "Welcome home." She said. "Home. . .!" Toby repeated, clapping over enthusiastically.

Jareth turned around to the giggling pair. "Shut up! Jack is proposing to this girl and *I* want to hear her answer!" He yelled at them. Sarah was in the process of sticking her tongue out at him, when she noticed that Toby had leapt out of her arms and was now sitting on the sofa next to Jareth. "You wemind me of da babe!" Toby cried happily. Sarah stood, confused, but Jareth simply looked at the boy, surprised. "Wha. . ." He trailed off and paused for a moment, then smiled at the infant. "What babe?"

"Da babe wit da powah!"

"What power?"

"Da powah uv voodoo!"

"Who do?"

"You do!"

"Do what?"

"Wemind me uv da babe!"

Sarah couldn't help but laugh as the giggling baby threw himself onto Jareth with all his might, making the pair fall off of the couch (Ker- PLOP). The brunette girl settled down on another couch, leaving the Goblin King and the infant to laugh in peace. About two hours later, Jareth, who was very exhausted, had finally calmed down and fell asleep, but Toby on the other hand, was a little bundle of energy and now turned to Sarah for fun. Sarah shook her head and sat Toby on her lap. "It's time for you to go to sleep also." She told the little boy.

She sat him on her knee, patting his back and humming, trying to get him to go to sleep for around an hour when she realized. . . it wasn't going to work. She sighed and tried to think of something that would calm the baby down. "I could. . . well, no! I don't want to sound like I'm Jareth. . . prancing around, singing scary songs. . ." She trailed off when she heard Toby clap happily. "You really want me to sing you a lullaby?" She asked the child. Toby clapped again, his little blue eyes staring Sarah down, melting her. "Fine, fine. I'll sing you a lullaby. . ." She sighed, mentally trying to think of 101 ways to torture a Ruler of Goblins.

"April Roses, tiny sparrows, comets bright and new. All belong together with the mystery that is you. When I see your little face, I hear a song from long ago. I think you know, the many secrets I've forgotten. . .

"Generations through the ages, joined as one somehow. Leading to the miracle that I am holding now. From the sky and from the sea, upon a breeze, you came to me. You seem to see a greater universe than I do. . .

"Sleep my baby, sleep my baby. Dream of somewhere far away. Do you remember still, how I hope you always will! Keep the memory of the day, the world was born.

"When you wake up, I'll be waiting, eager for your smile. You've had quite a journey darling, you should rest awhile. When you cry, we still rejoice, to hear your voice. Oh yes it's true, my sweet Toby, please understand how much we love you. . .

"Sleep my baby, sleep my baby. Later on perhaps you'll tell the wondrous things you've seen, more miraculous than dreams. Tell me all about the day the world was born.

"Sleep my baby, sleep my baby. Dream of somewhere far away. Do you remember still, how I hope you always will! Keep the memory of the day, the world was born."

Once she finished singing the lullaby, and Toby was asleep, she laid the boy down on the couch and placed a blanket over him, yawning. "I guess I'm pretty tired, too. . ." She told herself, walking off to the bedroom she shared with Jareth, and preparing herself for some sleep.

In the morning, Sarah awoke to the Labyrinth's false sun shining in her face through the window. She gently shook Jareth, causing him to groan and wake up as well, as she made her way over to the window to draw the curtains. "Why are you waking me up already?!" Jareth demanded, glaring at the offending mortal. Sarah stuck her tongue out at the Goblin King and sat herself on the bed next to him, kissing him on the cheek. "Because it's morning and it's time to wake up. You didn't play with Toby for *that* long so-" She trailed off, her eyes growing wide. "Toby! We've got to go check on him!" She cried, dashing off for the little TV room Jareth had made, with the King quickly following her. As they reached the couch, they saw the infant smiling brightly at them as he simply sat on the sofa, holding something furry.

Sarah grinned and knelt in front of him. "What are you holding?" She asked him. Toby blew a spit bubble and smiled again. "Fuh-by!" He cried happily. Jareth blinked and took the furry object from the child, examining it closely. Still not inferring what it was, he shook the thing fiercely, causing it's eyes to burst open. "Ahhhh! Okay, okay! Furby awake." It said. A startled Jareth dropped it, making the evil robotic creature go, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," and making Toby burst out crying. "Fuh-by! Fuh-by!" Toby screeched, reaching his hands out for the thing. Sarah lifted the creature up and handed it to Toby. "Do you want this? The. . . furby?" Toby nodded, grabbing the creature. The furby giggles and cried, "Me hungry!"

Jareth held his hand to his head. "This thing is going to be *very* annoying. . . Do you have any aspirin on you, Sarah?" Sarah grinned and shook her head. "No, I sure don't!" She laughed as the Goblin King plopped down on his throne. "I will get that girl one day. . ." He muttered to himself.
