The New Queen

Chapter Eighteen

The Next Morning

Krysta and Sarah were the only ones in the dining room eating breakfast and talking about her upcoming wedding.

"Good morning" a female voice said from the doorway

Sarah and Krysta raised their heads to see who said that, they saw Amelia standing in the doorway smiling at both of them, Krysta quickly got out of her chair, and ran to her as best as she could in a long dress.

Krysta hugged her "I am so glad you're here" she said cheerfully

Amelia hugged her back "I wouldn't miss your wedding"

Amelia let go of Krysta and held her head in her hands "your mother would be so proud of you"

Krysta had tears in her eyes making them look glassy" you really think so"

"I do" Amelia told her, she then looked at her eyes "no tears today, it is a happy day"

Krysta nodded her head then wiped her eyes

Amelia put her arm around Krysta walked back over to the table to join Sarah.

"So what are we talking about?" Amelia asked as she poured herself a cup of tea

"I was asking Krysta about any honeymoon plans" Sarah told her

Krysta's face became red, she dropped her head down. Amelia looked at her and smiled "there is no need to be embarrassed dear; every woman goes on a honeymoon"

Krysta raised her head up to look at Amelia "what you do on yours?"

"My Richard and I went to a cozy little cabin, the one I live in, in the woods. We of course made love by a roaring fire, I loved him with all my heart" by the end Amelia was crying

"I am so sorry, I never meant to bring up painful memories" Krysta said regretful

Amelia wiped her tears off her face, she patted Krysta gently on the arm "its okay dear, they were happy memories, but I do miss my Richard"

Amelia looked at Sarah "I heard you are pregnant, congratulations my dear"

"Thank you" Sarah said

"Any strange cravings?" Amelia asked curious

"Not yet" Sarah said

"Some woman get them, some don't. I didn't when I was pregnant" Amelia said

Sarah and Krysta opened their mouths surprised "I didn't know you were pregnant" Krysta said

"Yes, yes I was, the baby died before it came to term. Richard and I kept trying after that, but it wouldn't take, and I was told I could never have children" Amelia said as she cried

Krysta and Sarah wrapped their arms around her "you were a great mother to me" Krysta told her

Amelia looked at Krysta lovingly and smiled "thank you my dear" she wiped her eyes and looked at them" so is there anything I can help with?"

"We are deciding on the menu" Krysta said

"The menu is easy" Amelia told them

They started to discuss food, unknown to the woman that outside the door, two men were listening at the door.

"Woman get very emotional when it comes to weddings" Farley said to Jareth

"You'll get used to it" Jareth said

Farley nodded his head "do woman get emotional about other things?"

Jareth laughed and replied "woman get emotional over everything"

"Oh great" Farley said

"Come to my study, we will have brandy and act like men" Jareth said to him with laughter in his voice

"Okay" Farley agreed smiling

Hours later

The women were done discussing the wedding plans and honeymoon plans. They hugged Amelia goodbye. Krysta and Sarah stood in the hallway watching her leave.

"The years I have known Amelia I never knew she couldn't have kids" Krysta said

"Did you ever wonder why she never had kids?" Sarah asked

"I did, I never asked, I thought maybe she was too busy to have them"

Sarah smiled pitifully at Amelia's back, she then turned towards Krysta "someone needs to get to bed, there is a wedding tomorrow"

"Mine" Krysta said happily

Krysta and Sarah hugged then she disappeared back to her castle.

Sarah walked back to her chambers, when she walked in she saw Jareth already asleep in bed, she smiled a loving smile at him, she got undressed, she slipped a nightgown over her head, and she climbed into bed next to her husband. She kissed his lips and smelled brandy on his breath; she snuggled close to him and fell asleep.

The Next Morning

Sarah woke to someone peppering her face with soft gentle kisses; she looked at her husband with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning" he said grinning down at her

"Morning" she replied back sleepily

"Did you have fun with the girls?" he asked

"Yes, we had some good girl talk" she said as she caressed his face

Jareth brought his hand down to her abdomen rubbing it gently, the baby kicked, Jareth laughed excitedly

"I felt our baby kick" he said joyfully

Sarah smiled at him and placed her hand on top of his feeling it too

"There is a baby in there" he told her

"Did you ever have any doubt?' she asked curiously

"No, it's just that it kicked it makes it seem real" he says

Sarah gave him a quick peck on the lips and pulled the covers off of her, she sat up ready to get out of bed, when Jareth came up behind her wrapping his arms around her. "Where are you going to fast?" he whispered in her ear huskily

"I have to get ready for a wedding, and so do you. You are walking your niece down the aisle remember" she tells him

"Right" he said and kissed her neck and releasing her

He laid back on the bed hi arms underneath his head, watching her getting ready.

The Wedding

Amelia stood up front, along with Farley; Sarah started to walk down the aisle, guests in all kingdoms watching gleefully.

Jareth stood in front of Krysta

"Are you ready?" he asked her

Krysta took a deep calming breath "I think so"

"If you're not, I can have all the guests go home, and get rid of Farley" Jareth said

Krysta laughed and playfully hit Jareth on the arm "no, I can do this"

"Then let's do this" Jareth said as he held his arm out for Krysta to take it.

Everyone watched them walk down the aisle, everyone smiling, they were happy to witness such a happy occasion.

They got to the front of the alter, Jareth kissed Krysta's cheek then stood behind Farley.

Amelia smiled at them "we are here today, to witness Farley and Krysta into holy matrimony. I had the pleasure knowing both Farley and Krysta as young children; I knew they would always be perfect for each other."

Amelia took a breath and continued "do you Farley take Krysta as your wife, to love, cherish and honor for all the days of your lives?"

"I do" he told her as he kept his eyes on Krysta

"Do you Krysta take Farley as your husband, to love, cherish and honor for all the days of your life?"

"I do" Krysta said

"I know pronounce you husband and wife, and the King and Queen of the goblins, you may now kiss your bride"

Farley kissed Krysta, everyone stood up applauded and cheered.

Everyone then went to the ballroom for the reception, people danced and ate, and Krysta and Farley couldn't take their eyes off each other, as they danced together. Sarah stood by the food table watching them almost jealous.

Jareth came up behind her wrapping his arms around her setting them over her stomach "what's wrong?" he asked concerned

"I envy them" she told him

"Why?"

"You never look at me like that" she told him

"I look at you like that all the time" he told her seriously

"You do" she said skeptical

He turned her around to face him "yes, I love you Sarah, I always have and I always will. Nothing will ever change that" he kissed her lovingly wrapping his arms gently around her waist

When he let go of her she saw Krysta and Farley leaving in a hurry waving to everyone. When they left everyone continued as they were.
