Chapter 26: The Rapture

"THE GODS. I AM GOING TO SORT THIS CHILD OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL." Jareth screeched, springing dramatically from their bed, standing over baby Jareth's bassinet. It had happened so quickly that Sarah wasn't even sure if he had physically leapt over or if he had materialised instead.

To say that the lack of sleep had gotten the better of Jareth would have been an understatement. Three months into parenthood and he had thrown the towel in, Sarah was surprised to see that the Goblin King really did have a weakness

-he valued sleep greatly and without it he seemed to be going slightly crazy.

At only just a few months old, Eric seemed to still be ensuring that his parents didn't have more than a couple hours sleep a night. If he wasn't waking up every hour or two looking for milk than he was most certainly lying in his bassinet making cute little babbling noise trying to attract attention from his devoted mother and father.

-adorable during the day.

-not in the middle of the night.

Which is what led Jareth to his current position, holding baby Jareth up above his head, laughing crazily, into his son's satisfied face. He obviously didn't seem to be able to sense his father's anger, because he proceeded to coo in his face, playfully showing him a gummy smile, proving just how pleased he was; he had gotten his way and was now picked up.

"Jarethhh…" Sarah said in a nervous voice, propping herself up onto the bed, anxiously crawling to the base of the bed.

"Put him down, he doesn't know how much of a pain in the ass he is." She added, getting out of the bed, to intervene.

"It's okay precious, we are just going to have a quick chat. Man, to man." He said reassuringly.

Sarah rolled her eyes at her husband's crazy words and swiftly took the baby from his grasp.

"Just remember how badly you wanted him, remember when you told me how long you had waited for him? Well sometimes Goblin King you have to take the bad with the good." She said, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek, before climbing back into bed, placing Eric on her breast he wasted no time, proceeding to suckle greedily.

Jareth let out a big sigh before climbing back into bed next to his wife and child.

"You know precious, I would never harm a single hair on either of your heads?" Jareth asked looking for reassurance.

"Yes I know silly, you just looked like you might dip one of his toes in the bog of eternal stench." She snorted.

"Ha, funny." He replied sarcastically.

"Once you are done your meal my little prince, you need to get back into your own bed, so that I can have some special time with your mother." He said devilishly, pulling Sarah's night dress up above her thigh, sending shivers all over her body.

"Looks like you want special time too precious." He said smirking.

Jareth wasted no time removing his sleeping infant from his mother's bosom, before Sarah could blink, he was back in bed pinning her down beneath him, his clothes somehow seemed to be nowhere to be seen.

He then began to run burning hot kisses down her neck, past her full breast, fully prepared to continue his journey down to her navel, when he was abruptly stopped.

"Jesus, Jareth, take a breather. We can't just- he's right there, he'll hear us." Sarah said breathlessly.

Jareth appeared to ignore his worried queen, letting out only a small grunt.

Without peeling his face from Sarah's engorged breast he placed his hand behind his back to quickly release a crystal, it stopped and popped above the extravagant cot.

"There, he won't hear or see a thing, now shush and just let me have you- it has been far too long, I simply cannot stand another minute of this torture." He said aggressively pinning her hands above her head.

Once he had her exactly where he wanted her, he continued his trek of placing warm kisses down the contours of her body, starting from her delicate collar bone, stopping to give adequate attention to each breast, ensuring not to stimulate her milk, he finally stopped for a moment tracing the light-coloured stretch marks on her now flat belly.

"Ugh, don't stare at them, I know..." She said frantically trying to cover her skin with her hands.

Frustrated, he grasped at her hands again and this time held them still with magic, so he would have the freedom to explore her with his hands.

"Precious, you are perfect, I was only admiring. Now you will stay put." He said seriously.

"Yes sire." She said mockingly.

Sarah tensed beneath him but soon relaxed as he made his way between her legs, the self-consciousness that she felt about how her body had dissipated, as he began to torture her wet folds and after a few minutes of torturing her with his mouth she was climaxing into him, bucking frantically against him.

She continued to moan underneath him, her unstoppable wiggling and erotic sounds were more than Jareth could bear, he simply couldn't resist the temptation to take her fully. In one quick motion he was on his knees thrusting into her without a second thought.

Sarah cried out at the contact, this was their first-time making love since she had given birth and it felt as special and as new as the very first time.

Jareth was so worked up at this point that he didn't have it in him to last more than a minute, he plunged into her with such need and possession, he was completely and undeniably stuck in the moment, he relinquished all his thoughts and worries, leaving only sheer animal instinct to control him. After one last powerful thrust he was spent, spilling his warm seed into his queen.

They both laid in each other's arms panting uncontrollably unable to catch their breath.

"Feel better?" She asked mockingly.

"I do actually." He replied stretching out onto the bed, pulling her into him to place a sloppy kiss on the side of her head.

"But we do need to get some sleep, while our little terror is finally out. I will admit I have put a little spell on him… Just until the morning. We do require just one full night of sleep precious." He said dishonourably.

"I told you not to do that!" Sarah said angrily, but was quickly distracted by Jareth's warm embrace, pulling her even closer into his body and then of course he did the only thing she could never resist.

"I love you, precious."

a few moments later, they both let sleep take over them.

--

The next morning Jareth woke first, well rested of course, He quietly got ready for the day and slipped out into his study to complete some much-overdue work, he had been putting off due to the new demands of fatherhood.

Sarah woke about an hour after him she decided to take advantage of their still sleeping infant. She gently ran her fingers across his cheek and then through his faint blonde hair, the same as she had done to Toby all those years ago.

She then made her way to the bathroom where she soaked in the tub for what seemed like forever, once she had finished cleaning herself, she then got dressed and plopped herself in her favourite chair and began to devour a new book.

She was deep within its pages when Lidia came barrelling through the door, she had stayed in the castle after the birth, to help Sarah with all the new-found troubles and questions of motherhood. Her staying didn't thrill Jareth, but Sarah had grown fond of her and if their child wasn't spending time alone with her, he was happy to oblige.

"Your Highness, can you come with me, just quickly? The Goblins are having a squabble, the king has asked to not be disturbed for such feeble matters, I would imagine just your presence alone will stop them." Lidia said anxiously.

Sensing the Queens apprehension, she pressed further.

"Please your highness, it won't take long at all, the babe won't even know you've left."

"I really don't want to leave him, maybe just ask the king and tell him that I sent you." She replied hesitantly.

"Oh, I suppose he doesn't really like having you involved in things around the kingdom." She said bluntly.

"No, no, you're right it's partially my job now. I'll come." Sarah replied.

She quickly checked her sleeping baby and then was out the door, following Lidia down the castle corridor.

"Where are they?" Sarah asked curiously.

"Oh, just in here." Lidia said pointing to a door on the left.

Sarah entered the room as Lidia gestured towards the entrance, Sarah turned around to enquire as to where the goblins were, she was surprised to see that Lidia hadn't followed her into the room.

"My apologies my Queen, but he's told me I have to, for the good of the underground." She said bluntly locking the door, trapping Sarah inside.

Panicked Sarah screamed for Jareth all the while pulling and banging on the door attempting to force it open- her efforts were meaningless.

Jareth appeared to her in a matter of seconds.

"Sarah! What is it!? What are you doing in here?!" He asked frantically.

"Lidia locked me in here!"

"Go! Check the baby!" She shouted back.

Jareth was gone before she could finish her sentence, to find both his son and Lidia, no-where to be seen. Leaving him full of Wrath, the entire underground would know his pain as his scream sent a shock wave of power through the entire realm.
