Another week had passed in what seemed to be in slow motion. Mostly everything seemed to stay the same besides Jareth being nicer to Sarah. Eriku was happy that everything was finally calming down still blind to the fact that her husband was cheating on her. Jareth didn't want to hurt Eriku but Sarah was something he could not stay away from. If Eriku was not in the way he was certain that him and Sarah would be together living happily and peacefully. That thought kept coming to him driving him crazy; he only had two more weeks with Sarah and then he would never see her again. She would be dead.

Shaking that thought out of his mind he gave a small smile to Eriku waiting impatiently for the doctor to enter the room. Something was wrong with the baby and it was hurting Eriku both physically and mentally. The mother was laying in the bed groaning in pain, her face was sickly pale and she seemed so weak. Jareth wondered if the Gods were punishing him for the kiss he had shared with Sarah, or maybe it was all the nights he spent with her. It had to be a mixture of them.

"I am sorry Eriku." He whispered while placing a small kiss on her forehead.

"It's not your fault love." The voice was mostly just a strangled, gasp of air but he could make out the words nonetheless. Looking away to hide the guilt from his eyes Jareth could hear their door opening allowing the breathless doctor to enter the room. Getting a look full of death the doctor rushed to Eriku's side scared by Jareth's actions. Hours flew by and finally the doctor looked up from his studies and gave a sorrowful look to Jareth.

"I need to speak to you alone sire."

"What's said to me can be said in front of my wife and your queen." A doubtful look crossed the elf's features but did not dare to go against his king's wishes.

"Yes sire. I am very sorry to tell you…But the queen is very sick."

"How long till she gets well." He had to have hope, he had to look strong for both Eriku and his sake. The doctor looked down at the ground feeling hopeless and loss both for his life and what he was about to say.

"There are two options. We could kill the baby with a medicine I have made, this will save your wife's life."

"Ridiculous. What is the other option." Jareth stole a glance at Eriku wondering what was going through her mind. Her eyes were closed, lips partly opened in what he could tell was a silent prayer. She always had done that whenever she was scared which was not often. Tears glided down her pale cheeks causing Jareth to turn back to the elf.

"The other option sire is that you wait till Eriku gives birth. This could go very badly though sire, you must know. Your wife is very sick and weak, if she tried to give birth…Well, it could kill either one of them or both. I doubt both lives will be saved." Eriku gave a gasp then carried on with crying disturbing Jareth more than when she had been silent. A nod was all Jareth could do to tell the elf to leave.

The elf was almost out of the room when called back. "Know this. Your life will be over along with your family if you utter a word of this to anyone! Now get out of my sight!" More scared then he was before the elf dashed out of the room not needed to be told again.

"Jareth." Hardly hearing his wife Jareth stood up his face showing how dead and numb he felt. Kneeling down he took hold of his wife's hand and gazed down into her teary eyes. "Jareth, I want to try and have this baby. I have carried this baby for almost nine months and I am not going to give up on him now." All she got in an answer was yet another nod and she wondered if he could even speak anymore. She wanted to tell him to talk to her but the fatigue took over and she drifted off to sleep.

Jareth left the room walking aimlessly just wanting to get the image of his sick wife out of his mind. The goblins were confused but did not dare to ask what was wrong or why he looked as he did. Going back to the safe route they just stayed out of his way. Soon Jareth ended up in front of a familiar door and found himself knocking. Sarah opened the door confused by why he had knocked and not just entered but when she saw his face she grasped onto his hand and pulled him in.

"Jareth, what is the matter?" The only answer she got was his lips pressing hard against hers, his hands pulling her body as close to his own as he could. Comfort. That was what he needed. Comfort, love, want. He could find all of these feelings within the very girl he held in his arms at the moment.

Sarah was abashed by what was going on but the way he kissed her was just too much. The feelings that poured into her, the way he touched her, everything just told her that he needed her more then ever. She needed him as well. Just a few moments ago she was reflecting on her life and how she was not ready to die. She had so much to live for and love was one of those reasons. The love for Toby and the love for a man.

Sarah wanted her own kid, she wanted to have what Eriku had. A baby growing inside her and the man who gave her that child by her side. So she responded to him with as much feeling and want that Jareth kissed her with. A groan could be heard from Jareth as he lead her to the bed and gently pressed her down. Slowly his hands began to explore Sarah's body pushing up her shirt and allowing his fingers to press against her skin.

His touch was like fire against her cold skin causing a groan to erupt from her lips. Jareth took this as an opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth pressing against her own. He pulled her shirt off allowing her to do the same to him. For a moment he stared down at her looking at her beautiful body then up into her eyes. They held emotions such as confusion, desire, lust, and fear. Fear?

"I am not going to leave you Sarah." He whispered into her ear, caressing her face and gently kissing her swollen lips. She had once again helped him return back to life, he felt alive once more with her so close to him. Yes he still felt sad and scared for Eriku but with Sarah here he knew everything would be alright.

"What is going on Jareth?" He looked away knowing that she had seen and read his emotions.

"Eriku is sick…" Sarah's eyes widened as she listened to him. "She is not going to make it unless she gives up the baby. But she wont do that and I agree." Now Sarah felt stunned, she didn't know what was going on with him and why he was with her and not with Eriku. The thoughts from when they told each other how they felt came to her mind and she softly smiled.

Caressing the side of his face she tilted his head so he was looking back at her. "I am here for you Jareth. Always." A small kiss sealed her promise and soon he was holding her in his arms as they drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
