Tears slid down Sarah's face as she sat down on the bed her head laying in her hands. "I did everything I could." She whispered. "I took in Toby when he needed me, I took care of the house, I even tried to marry so I could get him a dad. Just when I tried to get sometime for myself I screw up." She could feel her heart sink as well as her body into the silk laden bed. Sleep, she needed sleep.

Ericu walked into her bed chamber to find a distressed Jareth sitting on the bed trying hard to work on paperwork. "How were the goblins?" He asked without meaning his eyes glued to the paperwork knowing Ericu would read them easily.

"Fine. Jareth, what has been the matter with you lately?" Always one to cut to the chase easily.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Jareth, I am no fool. Ever since that girl entered here you have changed. She seems nice, and even innocent."

"Ericu, you are not easily fooled but sometime I have to wonder how naive you are." A look of anger crossed her features before she looked hurt.

"Well, if I am so naïve maybe I should kick her out so you are not so…weird." Jareth looked up for once during the whole conversation before turning his gaze back to the paper work.

"You will do no such thing. We already said she can stay for the month and we will hold our promise." Ericu sighed and sat down next to her husband then rest her head on his shoulder.

"Yes, I know. I am just worried about you." Her hands cupped his chin and lifted so his mismatched eyes looked into her own green ones. "I want my confident, alluring, sexy husband back." A smirk crossed his features before pressing his lips against her own.

"You will have him back love…soon. After all this stress of work and the visitor is gone he will be back." His hand once more passed over her stomach. "This stress is not good for the baby either, he will be due soon I can tell." Ericu's hand rested on Jareth's own and nodded.

"Yes, I can tell. He keeps me up at night with all his kicking and moving about. I am sure he will be a handful for us."

"Nothing we cant deal with." Ericu just giggled and kissed him one last time before crawling into the bed. "Well, the sooner he comes the more energy I will have." Jareth chuckled and tucked his wife in thinking this was the one he should swoon over. This beautiful, lovely women should be the one who he should want to kiss and hold. Then why was it the women who was only a few doors down that he felt this way for. Sighing he pulled away from his wife and walked out of the room deciding that air should do him some good.

Ignoring all the goblins who immediately pounced on him for requests, Jareth walked out into his Labyrinth and sat down on one of the highest walls. Kicking his boots off onto the ground he pulled his legs up and rested them on the wall before resting his head in his arms. Slowly his eyes closed, his breathing slowed down to a calming rhythm and everything just seemed to be less stressful. A smirk formed on his face as he thought about the time he had with Sarah those many years ago. He had fallen in love with her strength, beauty and mind all that Ericu had but not exactly the same.

Many hours later Sarah awoke and saw how dark it had become. Groaning she tried to go back to sleep but found that her thoughts plagued her too much for that to happen. Growling in frustration she threw back the covers, slipped on a long shirt that fell to her knees and decided to take a walk. The castle was huge and she had no clue as to where she was going especially in the dark. At this point though she did not care, she only wanted to get away from the thoughts that plagued her.

They were of Jareth and the feelings she had around him. When she had first met him she had thought that he was a cocky, spoiled, jerk who was used to getting his own way all of the time. Now, when he saw him she thought the same thing only…Only there was more. He was alluring, mysterious, and even attractive in her eyes. Running her hand through her hair in frustration Sarah found herself in front of two large doors she had not seen before.

As she pulled one open she began to think of that one affect he had had on her when that lady was on his arm. Was it pain? Sadness? Or surprise? Sarah knew it was a mixture of all three but it had to be for that women didn't it? She felt sorry for her to be married to such a spoiled man; he probably considered her his prize.

Rolling her eyes at the thought she walked outside into the night and continued her walk. Gazing up into the sky she found some clouds moving against the moon shutting off all light that was left. The darkness was not scary however but rather peaceful, nice and even welcomed. A content sound came from Sarah as she wrapped her arms around her body and actually smiled. It had been awhile since she had done that.

"It is nice out here, isn't it?" That voice, it moved over Sarah's body and caused shivers to pass down.

"Yes, it is." Was her only replied not know how to react to the very man that surrounded her mind. "Why are you out here?"

"I could ask you the same question." Even through the veil of blindness Sarah could tell an amused look was playing on his face.

"To clear my mind, to think rather. I have a lot to think about you know. It isn't everyday a girl finds out she has been hit by a car and will most likely die; then finds out she is in a world and can only return only to die instantly." Jareth flinched in the dark knowing fully well what she had said was true, he thanked the Gods that she could not see him.

"Well, this would never have happened if you had accepted my request so many years ago." Anger boiled inside Sarah as she turned around and marched towards the voice only able to make out the soft silhouette of the man she wanted to curse. Finding him she raised both fists and began to hit his chest knowing that it didn't hurt him in the least. Tears began to stream down her face only making her scream out.

"I was a child Jareth! A child! Why would I accept that? I felt as though it was a game, I felt that I was winning and to win I had to get rid of you despite my…" Despite her what? Feelings for him? The same exact feelings she had for him even now? The ones that were full of affection and not hate?

Jareth grasped her wrists and pulled the girl closer to him his lips brushing against her cheek and whispering softly in her ear. "Despite what Sarah? Tell me now." The last part was a demand but in his words held not anger but desperation for the truth. Without moving away or even tilting her head Sarah told him the rest of the sentence.

"Despite the feelings I had for you." Jareth's heart seemed to stop in that instant, so she really did have feelings for him then. What about now? Did she share the same feelings he had for her? What did it matter though, he had a new life and it did not hold any room for her. Yet here he was, his hands wrapped around her own, holding her close to his body without any complaints or struggle from her side.

A trembling sigh escaped her lips and Jareth could not hold himself any longer. Bending his head down he nuzzled her softly taking in the scent he had so miss. Sarah froze on the spot confused as to what was going on and why he was doing this. Didn't he have a wife? The feelings though, it felt so good and she had missed him so much no matter what she told herself over the years. This was wrong though.

"Jareth…You have a wife." Jareth stiffened on the spot and quickly pulled back. Why did she have to remind him. Pulling back, he stared at Sarah for awhile as though trying to memorize this moment though he could hardly see her. Then without warning, he released the girl and walked away from the scene as though it had never happened. Sarah just stood there for awhile longer trying to take in what had just happened before repeating the same thing.
