When they returned to the castle Sarah was attacked by a horde of goblin nurses that all looked the same. They brought her to her room and made her take all these pills and ran all these strange tests on her. After the tests were finished all the nurses came to the same conclusion, Sarah needed bed rest. The one thing she hated the most.

"You need to rest,"the head nurse said, "All though you feel strong your body is still adjusting to the life it has gained. It maybe your life force, but your body can reject it if it is forced to concentrate on other things like physical labor."

"Well may I at least have some visitors?"

"In time my dear," the nurse said, "Here take these and go to sleep."

Sarah swallowed the strange green pills the nurse handed her and said, "I promise I will stay in bed but I am not tsss…" Sarah fell asleep mid-sentence thanks to the pills. The nurse wasn't taking any chances.

Sarah slept for two days and woke to a little voice screaming, "Mommy! Oh mommy I knew you'd come back!"

Sarah opened her eyes and before her stood little Jenna. Though she wasn't necessarily little anymore. She seemed more like a five year old. The goblin girl ran up to Sarah and covered her with hugs and kisses. Sarah started to laugh.

"What's so funny mommy?" Jenna asked.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all. I am just so happy to see you. How are you darling? Have you been minding Amelia?"

"I was sad when you left and cried a lot. When I found out you came back I wanted to see you, but Amelia wouldn't let me. So I snuck up here."

"How did you get in?"

"The lady outside was sleeping so I just walked in," she said.

"Jenna you are a little nix-nooks," Sarah started laughing again. "What time is it?" she asked.

"Two in the morning," Jenna replied with a yawn.

"Jenna! You should be in bed."

"I know but this is the only time I could sneak up to see you," she said, "Can't I sleep in here with you?"

"Alright, get under the blankets. I don't know how much sleeping I will be doing though."

Jenna climbed under the blankets and snuggled next to Sarah. She closed her eyes and asked, "Mommy? Is the mean lady ever coming back?"

"Not if I can help it," Sarah stated. "It's late Jenna. Try and get some sleep."

"Good night mommy," Jenna said half asleep.

"Good night Jenna."

Sarah didn't sleep at all. She felt that she had gotten enough sleep to last her a life time.

At around six, a nurse came in rubbing sleep out of her eyes. The nurse saw Jenna and took in a sharp breath of shock, "My goodness how did she get in here?"

"Shhh," Sarahsaid still in bed, "She is sleeping."

"My Lady you were not supposed to wake up for another two days. Are you feeling alright?" the nurse asked as she briskly walked over to Sarah's side.

"I feel fine."

"No sharp pains any where? No weird feelings? Nothing?" she asked as she shined a light into her eyes.

"No nothing like that at all. I feel great. Can I get out of bed now?"

The nurse thought for a moment and said, "I better go ask the head nurse." The goblin nurse went to leave the room.

"Oh, nurse could you tell Amelia where this little one is please?"

"Sure ma'am," she said as she walked out the door.

Amelia came charging in no more than two minutes later, "I am so sorry Lady Sarah. I don't know how she managed to slip out."

"It's alright Amelia. Calm down," Sarah said.

Amelia took a deep breath, "Well I better take her now. The other children will be waking up soon." Amelia bent over and picked Jenna up.

Jenna woke and started screaming, "No, no, no! I want to stay with mommy!"

"You can't right now," Amelia said, "She needs her rest." But Jenna wouldn't listen.

Sarah finally stepped in and said, "Jenna if you leave with Amelia now and the nurses let me go, I will have breakfast with you. How does that sound?"

Jenna quickly stopped crying, smiled, and said, "Okay!" and allowed Amelia to carry her out.

Not a moment later a whole gaggle of nurses were hovering over Sarah. Checking all over her body for any flaw or defect.

The head nurse was surprised, "You healed a lot faster than we thought you would. The burns and scratches on your legs and arms are almost held."

"So can I get out of bed?"

"Yes, you are free to do as you please. But for my sake please don't over exert yourself for a while. Also I shall need to see you again in a few days. Just to see how things are going," the nurses then filed out as quickly as they came.

Sarah was given a clean bill of health, and she was glad. She took a quick shower and slipped on a dress. She really did not want to stay in that room by herself for too long. Last time she was alone in there, she was tied to the bed and left to die.

She went to the nursery so she could take Jenna to breakfast.

"Mommy!" Jenna yelled as she ran up to her.

"Are you ready to go sweetie?"

Jenna nodded and Sarah held her hand.

When they opened the double doors to the dining room Sarah was surrounded by a familiar scene. It was the place she had her first meal with Jareth.

Jareth was sitting by the creek, he still had a rather large cut on his face, but all in all he seemed back to normal. Toby was running around playing nearby.

"Jenna? Can you go play with that boy over there while I talk to your daddy?" Sarah asked.

"Who is he?"

"My littler brother, he is really nice."

"Okay," Jenna ran over to where he was playing.

Sarah walked to where Jareth was sitting."Well hello there stranger," Sarah said.

"They let you out so soon?" Jareth was surprised.

"Well what can I say? I am a quick healer," Sarah sat down next to him, "So how is my brother?"

"He is fine," Jareth said, "I have yet to see any side affects from me wiping his memory. When he came to I just said I brought him here to visit you."

"I guess he bought it," Sarah said.

"Yeah, it didn't take too much convincing on my part."

"What did you do with Cassandra's remains?"

"I sealed them away in a place that is almost impossible to get to."

"Good," Sarah said.

"Oh and Sarah, don't be surprised if you don't see Hoggle for a while," Jareth said.

"Oh my goodness? Is it because of his sister? Did he find out? I wanted to be the one to tell him…"

"Sarah calm down! Hester is fine. Hoggle found her chained to the wall of an oubliette. She was close to death. Hoggle is nursing her back to health."

"So Cassandra didn't kill her! Oh thank God!"

"No she is alive and will be back to herself in a few months."

"What about you?" Sarah asked.

"What about me?"

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. A little tired.Butthat'snormal."

"That's good," Sarah smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder. She saw Jenna and Toby playing. Such a cute sight to see. Jareth and Sarah sat in silence for a moment. He placed her hand in his and started to massage it with his thumb.

"Will you be sending Toby back soon?" Sarah asked not looking at Jareth.

"I don't know. That's actually something I need to talk to you about. I can't send both of you back," Jareth said, "One of you is going to have to stay here for another month."

Sarah lifted her head up and looked Jareth in the eyes. There lips were not even an inch apart. Sarah told Jareth almost in a whisper, "Let Toby go back …I am willing to stay."

"Are you sure?" Jareth asked.

"Yes Jareth I am positive," she said acting as if she were about to kiss him.

"Well if you are that sure about it, why just stay another month? You know I wouldn't mind if you stayed longer."

Sarah sighed, "I need to finish high school and maybe go to college. Still there is my 12 week summer break. Staying here that long might change my mind about college. So in your time, that will give you one year to prove your case mister."

"Oh, and prove it I shall," he closed the small distance between them with a kiss. A kiss so passionate it sent a rush through Sarah's body. Sarah wrapped her arms around Jareth as he ran one hand down her spine and placed the other at the base of her neck. For a moment she felt at one with him.

That is until she heard, "Ewww!" coming from the direction she knew Jenna and Toby had been playing. Jareth and Sarah looked at the kids and then at each other and laughed.

Toby came running over, "Sarah!" he screamed, "Jerry brought me here too, just so that I could say hello." He gave her a hug.

"Well hello Toby," Sarah said, "Are you guys hungry?"

"Yes!"

"Well then, let's eat," Jareth said. At that moment a blanket, plates, and delicious smelling food formed all around them. Sarah could tell this was going to be a very good day.

A/N: Wow...it feels strange to say this but that is the end of this story! Wow! Maybe if there is enough interest in a sequal and the muses go along with it I will write one. But for now that is all. I hope my story managed to entertain you. I loved writing it. I also loved hearing from all of you. I never thought that many people would read thisand actually like it, this being my first one of these and all. I was gladly proven wrong. So thank you for readingmy story, even if you hated it. Love it or hate it...really it just makes me happy that you read it. I know I am strange.Again thank you.

mcfly85: to answer your question about how I came up with the track...I really don't know. Well actually I do. When I am writing my mind goes on wild tangents. If you think the tracker is intresting try reading some of my original works, they get a little intresting as well. Let's just say talking to me while I am writing is like talking to a crazy person who forgot to take their meds.
