A/N Own Nothing
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I knew that I didn't want to tell Jareth anytime soon. I wanted to wait until I saw the doctor and found out if everything was alright with the baby. I didn't want to see his reaction if he was going to be mad and I didn't want to see what would happen if something bad happened. I carried my bags into our house and left them on the floor and drifted quickly to sleep.
I was able to control going to the labyrinth now. Jareth had been helping me focus more on why and when I was going and that helped me learn to do it myself. Apparently Jareth did not have that type of control while aboveground. Unless I called Jareth while I was there he had to wait to build up the magic to transport himself. However, I learned quickly that using magic aboveground really tired him out. He showed me one small spell and explained that as long as the magic kept building in him that he would be fine. He was worried that being aboveground so long would kill him, but so far he was all right.
As I fell asleep I willed myself to the labyrinth. I was in a path with hedges that way above my head. "Hoggle! I need to talk to you."
Hoggle showed up, but someone was with him. "Well, I think I could get used to being wanted by everyone." I looked up and apparently someone else had called him. It was someone I didn't really want to see.
"Hello Sarah," I gave her a wave and decided to play nice. She never did anything to me. She didn't string Jareth along like I originally envisioned. She couldn't help the way he felt.
"Felicia, right? It's great to see you again. Hoggle tells me you're dating Jareth." I nodded and tried to think of a way to get out of there. Just because I realized that Sarah was not the bitch I thought she was didn't mean I wanted to hang around her. To me she would always be Jareth's first choice.
"I can see you're busy, we can talk another time. Bye" I waved and left the labyrinth. My dreams continued like a normal dream would and I felt really happy the next morning. It was the first day of July and I wasn't worried about getting a rent check in on time or whether I would make enough to pay the bills this month. I only had one worry and I was going to try to not worry about it.
Valerie had given me an extra test to double check the results and I did the next morning. Since Jareth already had left for work I didn't have to worry about him catching me. When did that man sleep, I wondered. I sat by the test waiting for the results. Valerie was right; it was more nerve wracking to sit there. Finally I saw the plus sign again. I smiled to myself and wrapped up the test and threw it away.
I went into work really happy. I think almost everyone noticed the great mood I was in. Jareth called me in on my break to have lunch with him. "I see you let Valerie pick out your clothes." Jareth was looking over the receipt. "There are way too many things on here for you to have bought willingly."
I laughed, "I wasn't really paying attention. She was having a good time though. I will go through the clothes today and pay you back for the ones I keep."
Jareth just looked at me, slightly unhappy. We have had this discussion many times already. For some reason, Jareth thought that he should pay for everything. That includes any random thing I want. I could probably buy a whole bookstore on his credit card and he would be happy about it. Of course he has a bookstore so that wouldn't be necessary. "Jareth, I want to pay for my things. You are already paying for me to live at your place, that's enough."
Jareth never answered me and we really didn't say much else for the rest of my break. I gave him a kiss before I went back out. The rest of the day went really well. The only thing on my mind was how to pick up my prescription without Jareth finding out about it.
I eventually told Jareth that I wanted to pick up some things from the grocery store and would just meet him at home. He offered to come with me but I just gave him a kiss and said I felt like going by myself. I really hoped I wasn't hurting his feelings by telling him not to come with me. He didn't seem to mind though. I don't think he really wanted to go to the grocery store anyway.
I picked up the pills and got some things to make dinner with. I took one, hid the bottle and started cooking. Big mistake. I was making some ravioli and had just put them in the boiling water when I felt nauseous. I barely had time to make it upstairs to the guest bathroom. Jareth was in his office and heard me run up the stairs. He came out to see what was wrong and now was hearing me throw up. There wasn't much in my stomach except a little bit that I drank to take the pill. I ended up lying on the floor for awhile before I called out to Jareth, "Can you check on the ravioli?"
I heard him go downstairs and I went into my room and grabbed the information sheet from my purse. It said to take with food, but all pills said that. I hoped tomorrow would be better. I would try it after breakfast. I heard Jareth coming up the stairs again and I hid the sheet. I started cleaning up the bathroom with bleach but that smell wasn't helping my stomach. I did it quickly and left the bathroom.
Jareth was waiting for me to finish. "You aren't going to do that again are you?" He looked concerned and disgusted at the same time.
"I hope not." I went back down to kitchen and finished cooking. Luckily the food stayed down and Jareth gave me a hug from behind while I was cleaning up.
"You look pale. Do I have to be your doctor?" He said with a smirk. I ran up the stairs and he followed me to the bedroom. Jareth was definitely the best kisser I ever had and what he was doing to me in the bed was really nice too. I was covered in sweat when we were done and really sleepy too. I cuddled into one of his big pillows ready for night time.
"You are going to sleep already? Maybe you really are unwell." Jareth was looking at the clock. It was still a bit early but I thought it was late enough to go to sleep.
"I'm sorry that I can't be like you and only get two hours of sleep every night. When do you sleep anyway? I fall asleep before you and I wake up after you. I never feel you coming into bed. Do you sleep?"
"Yes I do sleep, but I just don't need as much as you do." He looked at me for a bit and then pulled the blankets over me tucking me in. He gave me one last kiss on my forehead and then went back to his office. This time he shut the door. I really didn't like it. It made the room too dark.
