Hi everyone! Sorry for the long delay, enjoy! R&R please!!

Chapter 18

A small faint light surrounded the child that was beginning to form in the warmth and comfort of Sarah's womb. Dimitri wanted nothing more then to diminish its light forever and be done with the little brat. He didn't think twice about that light when he sent his first wave of attacks, for he was only focused on destroying it; but if he had, he would have noticed that Sarah's own inner instinctual powers were protecting the new being from harm. Fae children when conceived where surrounded by the protecting powers of both parents.

While Dimitri was in deep meditation, Sarah was becoming aware of everything happening in and around her. She awoke with knowledge of her powers and Jareth's combined. She wanted to recall all the events that had occurred but felt an urgent need to stop Dimitri's meditation, for she knew his intentions were evil.

With a small but effective power blast of her own she aimed at Dimitri and hit him right on the chest. With such close proximity to one another, the blast worked effectively, throwing Dimitri down from where he stood. Had he been further away from her it really wouldn't have stopped him, for Sarah's powers were powerful indeed but currently were being used to deflect the heavy blows Dimitri was throwing at her unborn child.

With an outraged and shocked expression Dimitri stared up at Sarah from where he laid sprawled on the floor next to her bed. Shocked at the amount of power she possessed and outraged that she would dare attack him, especially when he was trying to save her from the demon seed growing inside her.

"What in hells name do you think your doing?" he said angrily.

Sarah looked at him with wide eyes, trying to comprehend exactly what she was doing.

"I—I…" she knew she didn't mean to hurt him. She just wanted him to stop.

"You what Sarah?" he asked sarcastically as he picked himself up from the ground and starting walking closer to her.

Sarah saw the look in his eyes and knew he was mad. Dimitri wasn't one who took too kindly at being caught off guard, weather it is from a man or especially a woman.

"I didn't mean to hurt you I ju-…." He cut her off again.

"You did not hurt me." He quickly quipped.

Sarah knew wounded pride when she saw one. But she had to do what she did or else he would have hurt her child.

"Answer me Sarah!" he shouted bringing Sarah violently out of her thoughts.

"Don't you dare yell at me Dimitri!" this was it! Her cup was full and overflowing. She was not going to be intimidated anymore by anyone. After the hell she went thru, she was not going to lie down again and just let them rape her in anyway. "You want an answer Dimitri?" she rose onto her elbows in bed "Within this last week I have been abducted, forced into marriage, came into the knowledge of my past with you and Jareth and your father! Been raped and now with child."

Dimitri was surprised once more by her revelation. Impossible, he thought. But he quickly recovered himself into his usual arrogant composure. He leaned forward a bit as if what he was to say should be a secret "A child is far from what grows within you Sarah, you carry the seed of a demon"

Before Sarah could think, her hand went up instinctively and slapped Dimitri's flawless cheek. Nothing but silence ensued for a moment. Sarah covered her mouth in shock as Dimitri slowly turned his face back to her. And the look upon his face said he was not all too pleased with being caught off guard again by the same women.

"I am beginning to think this is turning into a bad habit Sarah" he said deviously "One that will require certain restraint, if not brought under control" he said as he gently rubbed his assaulted check.

"Then stop insulting me and threatening me!" she was sick and tried of it all. "And don't you dare call Jareth's and my child a demon!" he out of all people should know now that it was over. Jareth had and always would have her heart.

If Dimitri was shocked before her last statement just brought him into a new state and meaning of the word "What did you say?" he asked unbelievingly.

Sarah composed herself, she needed to be calm and collected in order to make him understand what she was about to say. "The child is Jareths."

Dimitri knew this could not be, the child was the demons not Jareths. Impossible for Jareth's seed to take root so quickly within her unless….he closed his eyes in defeat as realization dawned upon him. The only way was if Jareth had blood-bonded with her "You…you and Jareth are bonded through blood." He said not as a question but as truth. Truth that he had ignored and taken for granted.

"Yes" Sarah answered quietly.

For the first time in his long life Dimitri was silent.

"I hadn't realized at first what was being done but as my memory returned I remembered the ritual Jareth had completed for us on our wedding day." She tried to explain "the flower had bloomed completely, marking us as a fruitful and prosperous union."

Dimitri heard all that Sarah was saying but couldn't and didn't want to accept it was over. Too much time, energy and devotion had gone into trying to make her his. Now he knew she never could be his. The hurt he felt was nothing like he had ever felt before. She had never blood-bonded with him when they were first married because the flower never blossomed for their union. So now he understood she always belonged to Jareth. But something evil still lurked within his wounded soul. So he played his last card hoping it was a winner.

He turned around to fully face her, for what he was about to say needed to look and sound as truthful and sincere as possible. "I only wished to spare you from the grief." He paused, pretending to be heartened by the news of what he was about to say.

"Grief, what are you speaking of Dimitri" she asked a bit impatiently "What grief?"

Dimitri turned around so that she couldn't see his face and smiled a deadly smile for his plan was beginning to take shape. He answered with his back still turned to her "Jareth is lost to us all, Samyaza has taken him body and soul and made him one with the labyrinth that is why I was trying to dispose of his seed for I believed it to be Samyaza's." He gently touched her hand and revealed in the moment for she did not take her hand away. And by the look upon her face she believed every word he had said.

"That's impossible, I would know if my half is gone." Dimitri cringed when she mentioned Jareth being her other half. "If you will please allow me some rest, I am very tired and in desperate need of sleep, can I trust you will not harm my child again?" She asked tiredly.

Dimitri furrowed in eyebrows in confusion. That was not the reply he was waiting for, she was supposed to get hysterical and throw insults at him and he was supposed to calm her down and put her in a strong slumber one where she would have no chance of waking up from until he was done with disposing his niece or nephew.

"Sarah, did you understand what I just told you?" he asked again.

"Yes, I did and I must say again that I require sleep, Do I have your word Dimitri?" She demanded it now.

Seeing she was adamant about sleeping, he decided to let her be "I will be back shortly, we have much to discuss Sarah." He reached for her hand, kissed it and as he left he said "You have my word."

Sarah let out a deep breath and closed her eyes. She knew Dimitri was lying. But was too afraid and weak to confront him, knowing he would act out irrationally and she would come to regret her actions. So she made up the excuse of sleeping. She had to contact Jareth and figure out what they were going to do. She couldn't choose Jareth fully, for doing so would mean Dimitri's death. She didn't hate Dimitri but she didn't love him either. She was so confused that she really did start feeling sleepy. So she closed her eyes, just for a few minutes she thought to herself as she drifted of to sleep.
