Disclaimer: I do not own anything with Labyrinth or anything else. Well, except for the plot and a few of the characters that you don't know already.
A/N: Probably only two or three more chapters. I dunno exactly how many. It just depends on how much I wanna put in each chapter.
Sarah had kept an extra close eye on Janet. Even though she could not do anything without suffering some serious consequences should she try and leave, she knew that she had to be on her guard for the rest of the day. No one could be cured that quickly. Janet was planning something and Sarah knew it. Even though Janet had showed her to a wonderfully decorated room to prepare for dinner that night, Sarah wasn't in the mood to have dinner. At least, not with Janet. Of coarse she was starving and wanted to eat more than anything, but Janet was not the type of fae that you accepted things from. Her food was probably laced with something horrible.
Just then, there was a knock on her window. Who could be out there? Going to her window, she saw the last person she would have expected to see.
"Hoggle!" she exclaimed. He quickly signaled for her to open the door and she willingly complied. He climbed through the open window with a sigh of relief and Sarah could see why. It was at least fifty feet to the ground.
"You've come to rescue me again," she said gleefully. She hugged the dwarf and this time he let her. "Just as loyal as ever, Hoggle, you have come and helped me when I needed you most. Where are the others?" She had now lowered her voice to a conspiritating level.
"Don't worry, Sarah," whispered Hoggle. "Everything will be fine if you just refuse everything that Janet offers you and you listen to Jareth."
"Jareth's here?" gasped Sarah. She felt a wave of relief flood over her as Hoggle smiled and nodded.
"We met up with him just a few hours ago. It's a long story," he added, seeing the confused look on Sarah's face. "Now, I have to go now. I'm glad to see all is well," he smiled, looking at her stomach.
"Thank you, Hoggle," smiled Sarah, hugging him once again. "You have always been such a great friend. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"I must go now, but remember what I am telling you. Let Jareth handle the situation. He'll make everything turn out just fine in the end, you'll see. And don't drink or eat anything. I guarantee that it is poison. I saw Janet hand a vile to the cooks." Without another word, Hoggle climbed down the vine that he had climbed up in the first place and disappeared into the night.

Sarah quickly made her way to the dining area where she was to meet Janet and her husband for dinner. She longed to see her husband again, more than anything else in the world. All she wanted to do was to wait out the rest of her pregnancy in the comforts of her home with the one that she loved most of all. But she knew that she had to get through tonight before she could even wish for the outcomet that she longed for. She would have to be as plesant as ever to Janet, no matter what.
She entered the diningroom and was instantly greeted with a much wanted site.
"Jareth," she breathed. She ran to her husband and embraced him. He smiled as he hugged her as well.
"I'm glad to see you as well, darling," he smiled. He pulled back.
"What is wrong, Jareth?" asked Sarah.
"I just don't want to hurt you in your delicate condition, darling," smiled Jareth, patting Sarah's stomach gently with his hand. "I don't want to hurt the baby now." Sarah faked a smile. Of coarse, leave it to Jareth to be concerned for the safety of the baby at a time like this, she thought.
"Ah, Jareth, you are here," smiled Janet as she took her place at the head of the table. She wore a black sequened dress that went to the floor and had a low cut in the front, much to the dismay of Sarah. She was obviously trying to steal Jareth from her one last time before they left.
"Janet," said Jareth, very cordially. Sarah couldn't remember the last time she had seen him act so coldly towards another.
"Won't you please sit down?" she offered.
"For a moment," muttered Jareth. He sat down tensly and waved for Sarah to do the same, only across the table from him. She obeyed, remembering Hoggle's words. Jareth knew what he was doing, so she would just have to trust him.
"I just wanted to say that I bare no hard feelings whatsoever on you two being together," Janet started. "And, I would just like to add that what's done is done. In fact, I think this calls for a toast!" She clapped her hands twice, producing a goblin maid from a corner. She carried three drinks and set each one down in front of them. Janet raised her glass once the maid had gone.
"A toast, to the happy couple! May you live long and prosper!" Sarah placed the cup to her lips, but pretended to drink. She saw the smug look on Janets face when she saw the married couple drink. It really horrified Sarah when she saw Jareth actually drink from the cup. Didn't Hoggle tell him not to drink from the cup? Did he know? Tears sprang to her eyes when she saw Jareth devour the drink and then lick his lips.
"Jareth, stop!" she called. Janet could be heard, laughing maniaclly.
"You're too late, you foolish girl," she laughed, standing up. "The poison will take affect in a matter of seconds, as will yours. All three of you shall die within minutes."
"Two things," smiled Jareth. "For one thing, Sarah didn't drink. And for another thing, I am not Jareth!" With that, he spun around several times and when he finally stopped, he turned into a strange looking man with blue eyes and slick, black hair.
"Peter," gasped Janet. Sarah could hardly contain the scream that threatened to escape her lips.
"Yes my dear, it is I, Peter," he smiled.
"But no, I-I thought I killed you," gasped Janet.
"So you thought," said Peter, quirking a brow. "But after that last dose of poison you gave me failed to kill me. It only made me stronger. I've come back to make sure you never married for money again!" He looked up and yelled, "NOW!"
A/N2: Uh oh, what will happen? Dun dun dun. Hehehehehe. Hope you guys liked it. Two more chapters to go.
