A/N: It's the little things we fall in love with...

Jareth watched the corner of his wife's lovely mouth in complete fascination.

She was doing it again.

That adorable habit of hers.

Whenever Sarah was concentrating hard on something or waiting patiently, she never failed to do it. Whether she was copying a letter or document for him in his study, practicing her magic, or whiling away the tedious hours at court, she always did it and her husband loved it.

Currently, she was struggling to put Stellan's legs back into his tiny cotton trousers while Jareth distracted him with a rubber duck.

At only eight weeks, the infant prince absolutely hated diaper changes…

...and getting dressed…

...and sponge baths…

...and pretty much anything that didn't involve nursing or sleeping.

It had been Sarah's idea for them to take turns changing their son's diapers, manually, since Jareth's first attempt at a spell-induced diaper change had ended with a horrible rash across Stellan's bottom. Now, when one of them changed the dirty diaper, the other's job was to calm the screaming baby as best they could.

"You know, I love when you do that." The Goblin King murmured as he gathered his now fully dressed son into his arms and rocked him.

"Do what?" Sarah asked, tossing the soiled diaper and wipes in the bathroom's wastebasket. "Change a diaper?"

"No." He chuckled, gazing softly at her. "That thing you do with your tongue."

Sarah paused and quirked an eyebrow at him in confusion.

"What thing?"

"Every time you're focusing or waiting on something, you do this funny little thing with your mouth." Jareth explained with an amused grin. "You stick your tongue out and press the tip against the corner of your lips."

He touched the side of his mouth with his pointer finger for emphasis.

"I-I do not!" Sarah protested, her cheeks burning.

"Oh yes you do." Jareth said, striding out of the master bathroom. "I don't know why you're blushing, precious. It's the one of the most charming things I've ever seen."

He gently placed Stellan in his crib and conjured a small crystal for the baby to suck on, before turning back to his queen.

"Everyone has quirks, darling. It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"What else do I do?"

"Hmm…let me think." Jareth crossed his arms in contemplation for a short moment. "When you're startled you squeak like a mouse, you talk to yourself a lot, you put your hands on your hips when you're irritated, sometimes you curl up in a ball in your sleep, and when I squeeze your breasts you-".

"Okay!" His mate cut in, blushing twice as hard as before. "You know, you do stuff like that too."

"Really?" Jareth's eyes widened with interest. "Do tell."

"Um…well," she stammered, "uh…you…touch your mouth a lot."

Her husband cocked his head to the side.

"Pardon?"

"You know," she shrugged, "when you're bored or you're planning something, you put your hand on your mouth or chin, like this."

She demonstrated by lightly covered her lips with her right hand.

"Interesting." He smirked. "What else?"

"You…uh…make this really cute face when you're annoyed; you sort of frown and glare off to the side." She couldn't help giggling slightly at the familiar image. "You like to fiddle with your cuffs, I've heard you sing in your sleep a few times, when you laugh I can see all your teeth, and you always gasp like you're in pain when Stellan cries."

Jareth smiled at her tenderly and pulled her into his arms.

"So that's why you usually kiss me after I comfort him." He noted, glancing over his shoulder at the dozing Goblin Prince.

She nuzzled his chest.

"What can I say? To a mother, there's nothing sexier than a good father."

"That must work both ways," Jareth whispered against the shell of her ear, "because I quite enjoy watching you fawn all over him. You have no idea how many times I used to dream of it."

Sarah twirled a lock of his hair around her finger.

"What do you say we take a little sponge bath and I'll show you something else you used to dream of?"

"Oh Sarah," Jareth shook his head in lustful amusement as she coyly pulled him to back towards the bathroom. "I'll never stop dreaming of you."
