A/N Own Nothing
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jareth looked at the contents of the package for about five or ten minutes. There were a few cute outfits and little socks and similar items. Inside was a note from Valerie that said for baby Jareth. Jareth's eye went wide for a minute. He looked like he was really thinking. I almost saw a light bulb turn on over his head and he came to my door and knocked lightly.
I opened the door keeping my eyes on my crystal ball.
"You were able to get your crystal to show you what you wanted?"
I nodded. I didn't want to look straight at Jareth. He didn't look very happy in the crystal.
Jareth put his arms around me and held me very tight. I could feel him shaking. He was having a hard time standing, but he was doing it anyway for me. "That was little Jareth giving you magic. You have enough of your own inside of you to carry him, but Jareth is the only one that can do that. Why didn't you tell me? You could have saved me a lot of trouble and worry." He started to fall and I helped him over to the bed. I almost thought I heard him laugh, "See, children cause me trouble."
I smiled. "I was scared that you wouldn't want him. You have been so temperamental lately that I was worried for the condition of our home. That is two rooms you have destroyed in two days. I can see that you are exhausted. You look like you are going to pass out."
Jareth really did look like shit. He was sweating and was very pale. He was having a hard time staying in a sitting position. "I wouldn't have planned it this way, but that doesn't mean I don't want him now that he is here. This also explains a lot. I was worried about you being sick all the time and I knew you were keeping something from me. I also have been losing my magic and now I know why."
I was confused for a second, "Little Jareth? He is stealing your magic?"
Jareth laughed, "I am glad we have decided on a name already. Yes, if this is my son then he is another magical being. He will need the magic also to survive and the easiest place for him to get it is from me. This will be easy to remedy. You can call on Hoggle and Didymus but do not go into the Labyrinth. I will not be able to bring them up. If we conserve all our magic then there should be plenty to lead a normal life until after the wedding. Then you can help me get both of us to the underground."
I was suddenly extremely happy. Everything would work out. We cuddled on the bed all night. Jareth slept next to me absently rubbing my stomach. I really didn't like that but I let him do it anyway. I guess I should have told Jareth sooner.
Life went on for the next month. Valerie would come to me almost every day with choices for something. I would pick and off she would go to get things done. Jareth told her that he sent Didymus to Europe for something and kept having things sent to her that were supposed to be from him. Jareth came with me to my next appointment and was happy to see the little one on the screen. I was not sick anymore. It was a great life.
I had another doctor's appointment the day before my wedding. Jareth didn't come with me but I wasn't upset. It was nice to know that everything was going great. I knew Jareth would keep my children safe and happy.
My wedding day was hectic. Valerie was going nuts and I tried to stay out of her way. My dress was simple but big. It was a strapless beaded top with an A-line bottom. The whole day blurred and the next thing I knew I was saying "I do." Jareth smiled his full smile and kissed me so passionately that I was almost embarrassed to do that in front of my family. I had a great time at the reception and so did everyone else. I am glad there was a photographer because I didn't get a chance to take notice of anything. I felt bad since I knew that Valerie spent a lot of time planning this. She never told me what she got as payment for it.
Finally it was the end of the night. Jareth and I were riding home in our limo together. Jareth had his hand protectively on my stomach. I laughed remembering to myself everything Jareth had done in the past month. His whole "I won't be a good father" thing really changed. Every time he saw someone get too close or if something tapped me or I tripped, he would rush over and hold me and make sure I and little Jareth were alright. I had to tell him many times that I didn't turn into glass.
"Now you, I and little Jareth can go into my castle in the underground; a perfect way to spend our first week as a married couple."
"I don't think it will be just you, me, and little Jareth." I said as I leaned into Jareth.
"I ordered all of the goblins to clean the castle and then evacuate for at least a week. I guess the cook will still be there but you won't see him."
I smiled up at him, "It still won't be you, me and little Jareth."
"Ok then," he said with a smirk, "Who will it be?"
"You, me, Little Jareth, and Victoria."
"Who is Victoria?"
"Your daughter."
Jareth gave me a confused look, "But we are having a boy."
I smiled to myself and cuddled into Jareth more, "We are having twins."

A/N The End. I might do a sequel but that won't be for awhile. Did everyone like it? After all the crap, it was a nice happily ever after.
