Author's Note: My sincere apologies for the delay, I got a bit stuck. I also wanted to make sure this would flow and not seem unreasonable or farfetched. And since I hinted at it a few times I figured I could get away with it.
And another note of thanks, you guys are great and keep me motivated to finish.
PS: I know this title sucks, so sorry.

Jareth had hidden the box the council member had given when he left, he knew he would have to do it eventually but at the moment he was not sure he wanted to anger Sarah, and he knew she would be angry when she discovered that becoming the Queen was in essence becoming his wife. He also knew the council would demand an official ceremony and coronation soon. He sighed.
"Is something wrong brother? Is this business with Blythe have you concerned?" Janae asked knowing her brother his concern would be for Sarah.
"Well I am concerned on how to protect you both from her. In you current condition you would not be able to defend yourself, Myron would have to be around you consistently. I haven't decided how best to protect Sarah."
Sarah looked scared for the first time if Jareth was worried then this woman was more then she bargained for
"However I have not been entirely honest with Sarah and that is my current concern."
Sarah looked at Jareth confused, what hadn't Jareth told her.
Janae just smiled "Myron I believe we must excuse ourselves." Janae tried to stand and realized she could not, she laughed "This son of yours Myron is not allowing me to stand, come and assist me."
Myron chucked and helped Janae stand and escorted her out of the dining room.
Jareth sighed again "Sarah I hope that you will not be too angry with me, I wanted your decision to stay based on other things beside myself"
Sarah looked quite confused, but ultimately that is why she stayed, she knew the minute Jareth kissed her she could not go back.
"Jareth, I know that for the last few weeks I have been here, we have not been close, and then this morning, well everything changed." She got up from her seat and walked over to him. "I may have not admitted it until now but I love you."
Jareth smiled "I have something for you"He reached into his great coat and retrieved a slim rectangular box.
Sarah opened it, inside the box was a crescent shaped symbol that matched perfectly to the one Jareth is wearing. Sarah fingered it noting the simplistic beauty it had.
"Sarah, you should know that for all intent purposes, we are married."
Sarah looked shocked she couldn't breathe.
"Im sorry I did not tell you, I should have before you made the decision. The council will expect a traditional ceremony within the week. Im am sorry for everything Sarah I should have said something sooner. If you would like Im sure the council can take it back, I will give you some time to think about it.
Jareth rose and turned to leave the room.
"Jareth don't go" Sarah took the medallion out of the box and gently placed it around her neck. "I don't need time Jareth, I need you."
She walked towards Jareth. He gently took her hands he smiled. "There is something else I would like you to see." He said softly as he gently played with a few strands of her hair.
He lead her through the castle finding the exact hall he was looking for. He reached a large wooden door and took a key out of his jacket and opened the door.
Sarah gasped as they walked in. "I had it built after you left the first time"
The ballroom looked exactly like the bubble except for less mirrors and more windows that led out to balconies.
"Its beautiful" She started to cry.
"What's wrong, he gently wiped a tear with his gloved hand."
"All this time, I was so young, so self centered, and I thought you were cruel."
"Well to be honest I can be, as well as anyone else can. Sarah I have always loved you, I certainly haven't shown it."
Sarah turned to Jareth, she knew those words were difficult for him.
Suddenly Jareth bent his head and kissed her. Immediately Sarah responded by wrapping her arms around him, the kiss deepened, Jareth felt himself draw her too him as close as possible all he wanted at this moment was her.
"You majesty forgive the intrusion" one of the guards said from the doorway. "It is your sister, something is terribly wrong."
Jareth and Sarah followed the guard quickly.
When they reached her Janae was bent double over and Myron was trying to get her up to get her out of the room.
"Janae what is it"
Janae screamed "It's the baby" Myron stated instantly
Jareth looked concerned "It's too early. Come lets get her to a bed Immediately I will summon a midwife." No sooner had Jareth spoken those words then the guard rushed out to get the midwife.
Both Myron and Jareth lifted Janae and carried her to the room. Sarah followed behind hoping that she could be some assistance.
Authors note :I know what a place to end, this got a bit sappy, I know what Jareth wears is not a jacket but I did not know what else to call it.
