The New Queen

Chapter 20

The whole kingdom heard of Sarah giving birth to the new prince, they sent her gifts, of flowers and food and things for the baby. She was surprised to see their chambers covered with presents, she looked over and saw Jareth feeding their son with a bottle, and she smiled at them. Jareth looked over at her returning her smile.

"Your finally awake my dear" he said quietly

Sarah sat up as best as she could still being in pain from hours ago having her son. "What are you feeding him?" she asked curiously

"Your milk of course" he told her

She looked confused "how?"

"While you were sleeping the healer milked you, I am surprised you didn't wake up" he says

Sarah looked horrified "she milked me, I am not a cow" she replied pouting

"I know that precious, you know what I meant" he said

"Yeah, I know, but why?" she asked trying to understand, but she was still tired from not getting a lot of sleep and just delivering a baby just hours ago

"that way if you are ever sleeping, I can feed him without waking you up, you get mean when people wake you up" he tells her playfully

"I am not" she laughs

They both watched Toby in Jareth's arms yawn "he's sleepy, he had a busy day" he told Sarah

"oh he had a busy day" she said as Jareth moved Toby forward in his arms so Sarah could kiss him, then Jareth leaned over and kissed Sarah on the forehead. He gently put Toby down in his crib next to their bed. Jareth sat back down next to Sarah.

"you know usually the baby gets his own room, so the servants and a nurse could take care of him, but I can't bear to be away from him, I like fatherhood, and I am still knew at it" he said to her while looking down at Toby

Sarah smiled at him lovingly "where did all these gifts come from?"

Jareth looked around the room "friends, family, people and creatures in our kingdom"

"That was very sweet of them" Sarah said

"Yes it was, how often are babies born anyway" Jareth said

"All the time" Sarah said confused

"Yes that is true, but not many babies born to royalty" Jareth told her

"Why not?" Sarah asked

"A lot of births here never come to term, and ones that do are very lucky" he says

"So I was lucky I had my baby to term?" she asked

"Yes"

"Could I have more children?"

"Hopefully" he said smiling

She returned his smile, Jareth laid down with Sarah, he rested his head gently on her chest, she combed her fingers through his hair smiling, and she felt him smile against her. Then she heard his even breathing, she realized he fell asleep and joined him in slumber.

Krysta was in bed with her husband, just talking about the days plans; she already looked like her stomach was going to pop with her being pregnant. Then all of a sudden her water broke. Farley looked at Krysta.

"Is the bed wet?"

Krysta looked at him innocently and replied "my water just broke"

Farley jumped out of bed and started to panic, Krysta started to moan in pain "what do I do?' he asked her

"GO GET THE HEALER!" she yelled

Farley quickly ran out of the room looking for the healer, he could hear her moaning in pain as he ran down the hallway. Moments later Farley and the healer returned.

"I want Sarah, this hurts so bad" she moaned

"I'm sorry my dear, but she just had her baby and she can't go anywhere for a while" Farley told her

"Oh shut up" Krysta said

"Since Sarah can't come, will you take me" a female voice said from the doorway

Krysta looked up breathing deeply "mom you came"

"Of course I did dear, this is an important time in your life, I wouldn't miss it" Amelia told her sitting next to Krysta and holding her hand

"Push dear" the healer told her

Amelia helped Krysta sit up a bit so it would be easier for her to push, while Krysta was pushing, Farley was pacing back and forth with a big smile on his face.

Krysta started to push and do a lot of grunting.

"I see the head" the healer told her

Krysta smiled through the pain, Amelia smiled back at her lovingly and encouragingly.

Farley stopped pacing when he heard a baby cry he whipped around and saw Krysta holding their baby, he saw that the baby was going to be dark haired like Krysta.

Farley sat down next to her "this is our daughter" she told him

"What are you going to name her dear?" Amelia asked

"Kiera after my mother" Krysta told them they all smiled

"Mom, would you like to hold your granddaughter?" Krysta asked Amelia

Amelia smiles a genuine smile at her" I would love to dear"

Krysta gently placed her daughter in Amelia's arms, Amelia looked down at Kiera "hello my beautiful granddaughter, I am going to love you and spoil you"

Krysta grinned at the sight; Farley watched also enjoying the sight of seeing Amelia happy and the look that she actually belonged to a family.

Amelia placed a soft kiss on Kiera's head and gently held her to her hugging her, she gently handed her to Farley, who looked at his daughter as any new proud father would.

And like Sarah, Krysta was also showered with gifts from friends and family, and goblins in her kingdom, plus other kingdoms, she really adored the one from Sarah and Jareth, it came with balloons, flowers, chocolate and baby clothes. She knew that once she and Sarah heal from giving birth, they are going to have to talk about motherhood and show off their babies. Krysta watched Farley whisper to their sleeping daughter in his arms, with a wide smile on his face, and Amelia standing next to him fawning over her, sleep claimed Krysta making her eyes heavy, she tried to fight it but didn't win. She fell asleep with a wide grin of happiness on her face.
