AN: I wasn't going to post this for a few more days but AmethystLainey convinced me otherwise...So here's chapter 14.

Chapter 14: You don't deserve a child

There was only half an hour left. In the past few hours Jareth had gone to visit Karen twice, both times he had spoken only briefly with her as he was so shocked about how Karen could be so horrible about her own son. She didn't care that she was going to lose him. She only cared that she would free.

Sarah sat in the gardens watching Toby and Amelia .The two of them had both slept a little and were now playing in the garden. Toby looked over at her and waved and she smiled back, giving him a wave in return. Jareth then appeared beside her.

"Hey, how long does she have left now?"

He placed a kiss on her forehead and then sat down on the bench beside her. "She has twenty four minutes left."

"I'm just so sick of waiting. I know she won't win, she doesn't even want too. Why can't you end this now?"

"You know I can't, besides there's only twenty one minutes to go now. After her time is up, I will return Amelia to her family and they will think that she was with you all weekend. Your father will forget about Toby, although your stepmother will remember him. You though, well your father will think whatever you like about you. And then I think we could all use some rest."

"I second that." Sarah leant her head against Jareth's shoulder and closed her eyes. It wasn't long before he heard her breathing slow and he realized with some degree of amusement that she had fallen asleep. He lat her stay like that until there was only five minutes left.

"Sarah, wake up."

She jerked her head up a little and looked at him with confusion. "Huh?"

"You fell asleep love. There's only a few minutes left. I have to go now, but I will return soon."

He kissed her and then vanished.

Karen looked up as the now familiar form of the Goblin King appeared before her.

"What do you want now you feathered-"

"Now Karen I'm sure you don't really want to finish that sentence."

"Well, what do you want?"

"I just came to tell you that in 46 seconds, your son will mine forever."

"Good riddance to the twerp. Never wanted a damned kid anyway. Besides now I can get rid of Sarah too."

Jareth glared at the woman standing before him. "You know, I've been doing this job for about 400 years now, and you would have to be the most selfish, uncaring woman to ever set foot in my Labyrinth. Not only do you want to get rid of your only child just so you can have more freedom, you also wished away your niece, or more correctly, your husbands' niece. And on top of this, you're happy that not only will you be rid of your son, but you will able to kick your step daughter out of the house because she wont be needed as a live in babysitter anymore!"

Jareth stepped away from the woman and growled out his final words to her. "If you ever, ever have another child, you will not keep them! You don't deserve the gift of a child! Now be gone and you better hope we never cross paths again!"

He vanished and Karen stood alone in the Labyrinth for a moment, Jareth's words sinking in. Then she was home again, standing in the kitchen, her husband just arriving home from work.
