Sorry it took so long to update, but writers block is such a horrible thing! I didn't know how I wanted to begin this chapter, but once I figured it out, it just sort of flowed out. I really hope you like it, if not, eh... Just let me know. I just wanted to let you all know that I appreciate all of the views and the reviews. It means so much to me! You guys are amazingly awesome! :) Now, Enjoy!
The moment Sarah woke up, Jareth was sitting next to her on the floor. A smile spread across her face. "So glad that you're here." Her eyes pointed to the floor then back to his face. "Why are you sitting on the floor?"
Jareth smiled. "Not as comfy as it could be."
"Since when do you say 'comfy'?" Sarah laughed.
"I figured since I'm in your world, I should try to speak your way."
Was now the right time to talk Jareth about how Sandra thought that she might be pregnant? Would he think she was insane? Did Jareth even want kids? Would he leave her? So many thoughts were running through Sarah's head and she had to know if they were warranted.
Sarah sat up and Jareth could tell there was something wrong with her. "What is it Precious? You know you can talk to me about anything."
How would he react? "Listen, I don't know if Sandra's right or not, but-"
"Oh, trust me, I'm right." Sandra walked out into the living room and sat down next to Jareth. "I think she's pregnant. And by think, I know."
Jareth's head snapped towards Sandra. "Excuse me? Did you just say pregnant or are my ears decieving me?" He turned towards Sarah. "Is she serious?"
Hearing Jareth so alarmed made Sarah nervous. Jareth obviously did not want kids. What was she going to do if she was pregnant? "I don't-"
"Of course I'm serious." Sarah was getting annoyed that she couldn't even finish a sentence. Sandra just kept interrupting her. Sarah gave her a 'shut up' look and Sandra flashed one right back to her. "I'm just going to say what you won't!" Sandra looked back at Jareth. "After her parents left yesterday, she started vomiting violently. I asked her if she could be pregnant, but she said no. She said it was too early to tell."
Sarah watched as Jareth shook his head. "It is actually not to early to tell." He turned towards Sarah. "My love, pregnancy does not work the same way in the Underground as it does here." Sarah's jaw dropped. "I know it's shocking my dear, but honestly, pregnancy is the only thing that goes extremely fast in the Underground." Jareth stood up reaching for Sarah's hand. "We will have straightened out in no time."
Sarah didn't take his hand and she sat firmly on the couch, not willing to go anywhere with him. She was extremely furious with him now. "There will be no getting rid of the baby." She cleared her throat. "If there is one. Besides, I have to stay here. I'm waiting for my father to come back. With Toby."
"Precious, I would never dream of getting rid of our baby. But first, we must make sure that you are not or are pregnant. Let's go."
"Are you telling me that my daughter is pregnant with your child? So you're the one who married my daughter?" With Jareth and Sarah talking, they hadn't heard Robert come in. "Although, I do thank you for finding her and keeping her safe. Even if you didn't let anyone know that she was safe." Robert let venom drip off of his last sentence.
Jareth walked over to Robert and shook his hand. "Sir, I am extremely sorry that we did not let you know, but Sarah here wanted to let you know in person."
Robert walked around Jareth and went to sit by Sarah. "Your mother is on her way over."
"Why didn't Karen just drive with you?"
"I mean your mother Linda."
Sarah had no reason to believe that her mother would ever come see her. She hadn't done that in years. Since she was almost 10. "Well, I don't want to see her." Even though a huge part of her did want to see her mother, it just didn't seem like the right time.
"Whether you want to or not, she's on her way and will be here shortly. We have things to discuss. Like you divorcing Jareth." Sarah was about to refuse, but her father kept talking. "You didn't even introduce us, and I refuse to call someone I have never met before my son-in-law. Do you understand me?"
Jumping off of the couch, Sarah slapped her father in the face. Immediatly she regretted it. "I'm so sorry dad. I didn't mean it."
"You didn't mean it? You did it, you must have meant it!"
Before the argument got any more heated, Jareth grabbed Robert by the shoulders and walked him out into the hallway. "Sarah, why did you slap your father? I've never seen you this way. Like ever! Not even when Troy decided to tell the whole school your secret! What has gotten into you?" Sandra got up and started pacing back and forth in front of Sarah. "Seriously Sarah, you've never ever been like this. And if it's because of your fae side, you seriously need to learn to control it. Do you understand that?"
Putting her head in her hands, Sarah started crying. Why was there so much anger coming out of her? She had gotten rid of it after she first went to the labyrinth, or so she thought. "I don't know what's going on! I can't control it."
Sandra knelt down in front of Sarah and put her hands on Sarah's knees. "We'll get you through this. I promise."
"Thank you."
Sandra stood up and walked out of the room than back in in less than a minute. "While you were sleeping, I went to the store and grabbed you this." She pulled out a pregnancy test from a brown paper bag. "Now, go take it and let me know what the results are."
Sarah grabbed the box. "What if this won't tell me the truth? What if for some reason, only something Underground can tell me if I am pregnant or not."
"Just go do it! You'll never know until you try."
Sarah went off to the bathroom while Sandra sat there waiting. Jareth and Robert came back in with Linda. This surprised Sandra considering that Linda had almost never been there for Sarah. "Where is my daughter?"
"Linda, do you really have the right to ask where Sarah is? I mean, you haven't been around for her in year, and I'm not trying to be rude, but she is one of my best friends, and I don't want you to upset her. Besides, she'll be out in a couple of minutes. She's taking a pregnant test right now."
Linda stared at Robert and growled. "How could you let our daughter get knocked up?"
"She's married. It's not guarenteed that she's pregnant anyways, so chill out. Besides, you didn't even come around when I told you that she went missing! You just said, She's fine, she'll be home."
"I'm so sorry that I was busy working."
"Working should not come before our daughter! She was missing for crying out loud!"
Jareth didn't like seeing the fight, but he figured they had a good reason. Considering Linda hadn't really shown an interest in Sarah until now.
Sarah walked out and stared at everyone which made Robert and Linda stop arguing. Sandra ran over to her. "So what did it say?"
Sarah gupled and stared at Jareth. How could she tell him what she found out? Would he be happy or upset? She just didn't know.
