"Come on, you two can talk, say your first words!" Sarah said.
"Sarah, don't badger them, they'll do it, when they want to, or ready." Jareth said.
"I guess, but don't you want to hear them speak, especially Deadly?" Sarah replied.
"That would be amazing, but I don't want to push them." Jareth told her.
It was a few days after the epic play date they'd had with Crystal, so Deadly and Dudley were in the play pen, only they could hear what their dad and Sarah were saying, giving Deadly and also Dudley a mischievous idea, to screw with Sarah, which Deadly loved doing everyday, knowing that if she thought she heard them say words, she'd get excited.
"Mama!" Dudley said, as Deadly grinned, seeing Sarah surprised, hearing that.
"Jareth, come quick, one of them said their first word!" she said.
"You sure Sarah, it happened?" Jareth asked her as she nodded.
"Yes, I heard Dudley say it clear as a bell!" Sarah replied.
"Okay, you think you can talk?" he asked Dudley hearing him quiet.
"Sarah, I think you were imagining." Jareth said, as they left the play pen, making Deadly and Dudley giggle because this was a fun game, knowing sooner or later, they would start actually talking, but it would be fun while it lasted seeing it was almost bedtime so Jareth and Sarah were getting them ready for bed.
"I know you said mama, so why didn't you say it, in front of daddy?" Sarah said to Dudley seeing he was growing another fang getting the teething gel she'd brought from home, putting it in his mouth to ease the pain, hearing Deadly crying guessing the same thing was happening, seeing Jareth nod, rocking Deadly gently, after putting the teething gel in his mouth.
"You wanna screw with our mom, by making her think we're starting to talk?" Deadly said noticing Dudley standing up, stunning Jareth and Sarah, seeing him walking wobbly towards them, making them proud that Dudley had taken his first steps making Jareth think of baby proofing the castle.
"Nope as Dudley won't cause much trouble, yet when Deadly learns to walk, then we have to." Sarah told Jareth.
Deadly rolled his eyes at that, as he would do things when he wanted to, making Dudley giggle getting used to walking making Deadly snort, playing with toys, and using magic, making Jareth get it.
"I guess your brother was ready, to take his first steps, but you take your time, alright?" he told Deadly.
"Yeah, daddy gets me, unlike Sarah, let Dudley be her boy." Deadly said while playing, knocking over blocks gigglimg hysterically, making Jareth smirk knowing for sure, Deadly would be king when he was grown up, making Deadly's purple eyes widen in awe.
Sarah wondered what was going on, seeing Jareth hanging out with Deadly which was sweet, because Dudley was following her aroubd, which was cute, hoping Deadly would want to walk, after seeing his brother do it.
"Why is she so hopped up, on us doing that stuff, when we just wanna play?" Deadly said, unaware that Jareth had heard him, making Deadly face palm, realising they coukd not drive Sarah crazy, seeing Jareth proud of him, hearing him say dada making Sarah surprised the mischievous one was talking, wanting him to say mama, hearing him say Sarah.
"I'm mama, remember?" Sarah said hearing him snort.
"Nope, Sarah." Deadly said, making Jareth chuckle.
