(Epilogue)
It was about nine months since that day. I was in the throne room, lounging across my own new throne with a journal cradled in my lap which I was writing on one of my stories. The journal was perched precariously on the large bulge in my abdomen. My hair was in a super-long French braid that fell to pool on the floor. I was actually wearing one of the dresses in the closet, I had to since my normal aboveground clothing didn't fit me at the moment. It was a billowy pale violet dress that fell off my shoulder and came down to my knees. Of course, I was giggling to myself like a mad woman, because I had a bad habit of amusing myself with my bad sense of humor. And, it had only gotten worse with the onslaught of hormones. I didn't even know Jareth had entered the room until he laid a soft kiss on the back of my neck.
"Jareth..." Lowering my pen, I smiled. I snapped shut my notebook and laid them both aside. Then I tipped my head back to look up at him. "Your child is really active today." It was true, at times my notebook had been bouncing so much it had made writing impossible until they calmed a bit.
"That's a good sign, I guess," he moved around to kneel beside the throne. He looked longingly at my belly. I hadn't let him touch it any more, cause I wanted the birth to be a surprise and I knew the second he touched my abdomen he would know everything.
"Yes, they are as healthy as a horse," I smiled and swung my legs back around to the front so that I was sitting normally. "Are you ready to go now? I am anxious to see Jana again."
"Then lets go," he stood and helped me to my feet. He went for one of his crystals to take us to Kolteq's castle.
I placed my hand on his arm. "Let me, I am still getting used to my new power and I want the practice." I pulled out what looks like a large pearl, but surprisingly it was as light as any of his crystals.
"Just make sure we don't end up in a tree above the bog of eternal stench again." Jareth looked heavenward grimly and shut his eyes so he wouldn't see it coming.
"Oh shush, you," I growled and spun the pearl. The next thing we knew we were on the steps outside his cousin's palace. "See, told you I was getting better." I jogged awkwardly up the steps, damn this belly.
I was barely a few feet from the door when it burst open and Jana came running out with her own round belly, she was only 6 months along and a little less...big. We hugged the best we could in our condition. Her blonde hair was a bit shorter, coming to just after her shoulders now instead of her long tresses. She was all a-glow with her new found faerie power, and the pregnancy. She was in a blue shirt and overly large jean overalls.
"Come in, dinner is just about ready...we can talk until it is," Jana took my hand and led me inside.
We went inside and into the sitting room. Kolteq was in there and came to hand us both a drink of some fruity punch that I had only tasted since staying in the underground. The two kings were talking politics or some nonsense, leaving me to chatter with my best friend. A servant came in to call us to dinner and I absent-mindedly dropped my empty glass. I bent to try and pick it up, and stilled.
"Jareth...?" I murmured worriedly, and half-excitedly. He rushed over to my side to see what was wrong. I straightened with his help. "It's time..."
"Yes, the servant just said so. Come on, let's go join the others." He placed a hand on the small of my back to lead me to the dining room.
"No, you spandex wearing Q-tip...it's time! I'm going into labour!" I smacked him upside the head. He didn't get annoyed, he was used to my mood changes after nine months.
Instead, his eyes lit up and he let out a cry of joy. This brought the others running back in. "I'll call the mid-wife." Jareth started to pull out one of his crystals.
"Oh no you don't! I want a hospital!" I stomped my foot and grabbed the crystal away from him. "You take me to a hospital now and get me some drugs!!"
"Sarah..."
"NOOOW!!"
The others all covered their ears and then looked at me with big eyes. Jareth nodded in a shaky frightened way and then agreed to conjure us all to a hospital.

A few hours later we are in a delivery room, I had just given birth to a child and I was exhausted. They were cleaning off the child and then turned to Jareth, who had been hovering over them the whole time trying to get near his child.
"You have a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed girl, Mr. Kobold," the nurse handed him his daughter and he cradled her close.
Right then I started screaming in pain again and the nurses ran back towards me. Jareth's head snapped around to look at me, puzzled. Another blonde head was starting to crest and he narrowed his eyes, not meanly...just slyly as he figured out why I hadn't let him touch my belly.
A few minutes later Jareth was handed another little girl that looked exactly like the first one. He walked over to stand by my bed. "You little weasel, keeping this from me the whole time." He murmured with only love in his voice.
I held out my arms to accept one of my baby girls. "I knew it would be a great surprise. Now what shall we name these little divas." Both babies had quite a set of pipes and had finally settled down in their father's arms. Being switched to her mother's didn't affect the child, she was still calm and blinking big blue eyes up at the woman who gave birth to her moments before.
"Did you want to name them aboveground names...?" he asked slowly.
I smiled and shook my head. "Name them whatever you wish, I want them to have names as beautiful as they are...you can't name a faerie something plain and over-used." I pressed a gentle kiss to the child in my arms. "It just isn't fitting."
"Then I have just the names for them, they are old family names," He rocked the one his arms. "This shall be Blaethen and the little scamp in your arms, shall be Aeslen."
"They sound perfect." I smiled up at him.
