Sweet Revenge

Chapter 14

 

After Talon and Jareth left the room where Isabelle was and her new baby. Sarah walked in she looked at Isabelle holding her son smiling down and him and whispering to him, brought tears to her eyes, she breathed in deeply and greeted Isabelle “hello”

Isabelle looked up smiling at Sarah and said “I am so glad you came to visit”

Sarah smiled in return she then looked down at the baby “he is beautiful”

“Thank you” Isabelle said she looked at Sarah and frowned she could see that even though she looked happy she could still the sadness in her eyes.

“Would you like to hold him?” Isabelle asked

Sarah smiled and nodded, Sarah sat down in the chair next to the bed, and Isabelle gently put her son in Sarah’s arms. Sarah looked down at the sleeping baby, she was smiling but had tears in her eyes, and she always longed to have a child, well after she started to like Toby. He was made her want to be a mother, now she may never have a chance again, if things don’t happen with Jareth, she is stuck here and who knows if she will ever fall in love again. As much as she hated to admit it and knew that she shouldn’t she is in love with Jareth.

Isabelle was watching her closely and couldn’t help but feel bad for, watching her look so sad made her feel so sad.

“Don’t worry Sarah one day you will have a child” Isabelle told her gently

Sarah looked up at Isabelle with a look of hope on her face “you really think so”

Isabelle nodded “I do, you’re going to be a great mother someday”

Sarah grinned at her, she felt better talking to her, and she just hopes that since Jareth is the one she wants to have children with that they will work out, if not she is not sure what she will do.

Sarah handed Tristan back to his mother; she kissed the baby and Isabelle on the forehead and left the room, where she was met with a goblin waiting for her.

“The king wishes for you to join him on the patio” the goblin told her

“Okay” she said

She followed the goblin outside, once they got to the patio doors, he pointed outside and then he walked away.

Sarah walked outside, she saw Jareth sitting at the table with candles, flowers in a vase on the table surrounded by a variety of breakfast foods, Jareth stood up when he saw her, he walked around and pulled her chair out for her, she smiled at him and sat down, he pushed her chair back in.

Sarah looked at him “I thought we were having dinner?”

“Well since we missed dinner, I thought we could have breakfast” Jareth said

Sarah smiles brightly at him “this is very sweet of you”

Jareth leaned forward and whispered to her “don’t tell people that, I have a reputation to live up to”

She laughed and replied “don’t worry I won’t say a word”

He laughed and leaned back in the chair helping himself to the food and Sarah did the same.

Jareth watched Sarah eat, he smiled as she was looking around the garden, he could tell that she liked it here, she was enjoying being here that she was happy and that she had a little sadness to her and he knew it was partly his fault, if he never forced her to come here for revenge she never would have got pregnant and lost a child, it was hard for him to lose a child but knew it was harder on her since the child was growing inside of her and they were developing a connection.

He frowned where his thoughts were taking him. She looked at him and wondered what he was in deep thought about; she wiped her face and hands on her napkin and asked him “are you alright?”

He looked at her as he got out of her thoughts.

“I was just thinking” he told her

“Thinking of what?” she asked

Jareth grabbed his glass and took a sip then replied “you”

Sarah blushed “what about me?”

“Just thinking of our future” Jareth said

Sarah smiled big at him “so you see us having a future together?”

“Yes someday we will everything we want” Jareth said

Sarah frowned “so not right now”

Jareth could tell she was upset, he moved his glove hand to hold her hand, she moved it out of his reach “ I want to get married and have a family” she told him

Jareth smirked at her “but not right now, right”

Sarah shook her head “of course not right now, but if you don’t want those things with me then please let me know now so I can move on and get over you”

Jareth sighed and rubbed his hand of his face “of course precious I want those things with you, but not now, I think we need to get to know each other better, and have time to heal after losing our child”

Sarah turned away at the mention of losing a child, Jareth noticed this and said “I know you are really hurt by that. I am too”

Sarah stood up and threw her napkin on the table “it’s not fair, Isabelle has three and I have none, the close I came to being a mother was with Toby and then with this child”

Jareth quickly got up and quickly walked over to her, she moved away from him. He quickly grabbed her and wrapped his arms tightly around her. She cried into his chest hard, Jareth kissed the top of her head; he laid his head on top of hers and let his tears fall from his eyes.

He heard her crying stop and she wasn’t moving, he looked down and saw her sleeping, he realized she must not be sleeping very well. He picked her and carried her in his arms back to her room. He laid her down on the bed, he covered her up with the blankets he kissed her lips gently, she smiled and rolled over so her back faced him, he smiled and disappeared from the room. He appeared in his throne room, where he saw Talon in there looking like he was waiting for him.

“Is something wrong with Isabelle or the baby?” Jareth asked worried

“No, they’re both fine, I came to see how you are” Talon said

“I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be” he told him

“I heard you and breakfast with Sarah, and I thought something might have happened and I think it did, since you look upset” Talon tells him

“breakfast was fine, Sarah is still upset about losing the baby and it seems she is in a hurry to get pregnant and married” Jareth replies

Talon thought for a moment and said “and you don’t want that, or is it that you don’t want that with her”

Jareth gave him a stern look “of course I want it with her I love her, I always have. I just don’t to move to quickly and have her realize that she made a mistake and she resents me because of it”

“Months ago you would’ve done this, just to hurt her later on for revenge” Talon said

“Yes, I would have, but now I want to be the good guy and not her villain” Jareth said

Talon smiled “if it’s meant to be then it will be my friend”

Jareth smiled in return “thanks”

Talon bowed his head “I have a wife and son to see too”

“You are a very lucky man, congratulations again on your son” Jareth said

“Thank you” Talon said and disappeared from the room

Jareth sat down in his throne chair thinking about his situation with Sarah and is trying to decide the right thing to do; he really wants to be with her in every way but doesn’t want to hurt Sarah anymore.
