Chapter Ten

 

Jareth sat in a chair next to the bed; he is holding her hand waiting for her to wake up. Sarah looked so peaceful sleeping, but her face was scrunched in pain, he knew she had to be in some physical and emotional pain from losing the baby.

The healer Madgie comes in every so often to check on them, she watches Jareth watch Sarah, she feels sadness in her heart over it, and no one is really sure how Sarah will react once she wakes up. It is known that some woman, go into a depression over losing a child, which is usually normal, and some blame other people for losing a child, she just hopes whatever Sarah does, it will go quickly and she can move on from this tragedy.

Sarah woke up feeling numb and groggy, she looked over at Jareth, he was watching her with a mix of worry and sadness on his face, and everything that happened came rushing back. Sarah turned her head away from him crying.

Jareth gently put his hand on her shoulder, she brushed it off, he spoke to her his voice low “I know Losing a child is upsetting, I am upset too”

Sarah turned and looked at him anger clearly shown on her face “you’re upset, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here”

Jareth stood up quickly his voice slightly rose “you mean if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been an owl, and none of this would have happened”

Sarah sat up quickly and hissed in pain “yes, maybe so, but maybe if I didn’t find that book, then we would’ve never met, I wish I could take it back”

“Be careful what you wish for precious, you might just get it” Jareth told her

Sarah stood up moaned in pain and held her stomach “why did you have to be so cruel, and take my child from me” she started to cry

“Sarah dear, I didn’t take our child away, you did, and your body couldn’t handle it” Jareth said

Sarah got angry and slapped him hard across the face “I hate you”

Jareth face was turning red with anger his nostrils was flaring, he raised his hand to hit her, and Sarah stood there defiantly.

“Sire don’t” a voice said from behind them

Jareth turned he saw the healer standing there looking scared, Jareth dropped his hand to his hand, and strode quickly by her and out the door.

Madgie walked up to Sarah and gently grabbed her and helped her into bed “you are weak honey, you need to stay in bed for a couple of days dear”

Sarah looked at Madgie “he’s an ass”

“Yes dear he is” she agreed

Sarah lay down and closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

 

Jareth was pacing his throne room, his hands clasped behind his back; Talon was watching him from the doorway.

“Did something happen?” Talon asked

Jareth stopped abruptly and glared at his friend “she blames me for losing the baby”

Talon sighed “I see” Jareth looked at him and Talon continued “I don’t think it is anyone’s fault, Sarah lost the baby. It was just a sad thing that happened, it shouldn’t have happened but it did, this is a time it should bring you closer together, not far apart”

Jareth took a deep breath to calm himself and replied “how did you get so smart”

“One of us had to be” Talon said jokingly

“Now what am I going to do about Sarah?” Jareth asked seriously

“Give her time to grieve, and eventually she will come around” Talon told him

“After we move on from this, what happens to us?” he says

“That would depend on you two” Talon told then disappeared leaving Jareth alone with his thoughts and to grieve.

 

Isabelle walked into the room to see how Sarah was doing, she saw that she was asleep and stayed in the room incase Sarah needed her or anything.

Sarah woke up screaming, Isabelle quickly grabbed her hand and held it tight “Sarah, you’re okay, I’m here.”

Sarah looked at her relieved someone was there when she woke up, she had a dream about losing her baby it was disturbing.

Sarah looked at her sadly, and replied in tight voice, that Isabelle can tell she was holding back tears when she said “did you hear I lost my baby”

Isabelle smiled sadly at her “yes dear I did”

Sarah tried to sit up, it was hard for her, and Isabelle helped her to sit up “I blame Jareth for it”

Isabelle gave her a stern look “now that isn’t fair”

Sarah looked at her sharply “you’re taking his side”

Isabelle shook her head “no dear, I am taking no one’s side, I don’t think anyone is to blame, a sad thing happened that is all”

Sarah broke down and cried covering her face in her hands “Oh dear” Isabelle said wrapping her arms around Sarah. She then wrapped her arms around Isabelle hugging her tightly and crying “that’s it hun not let it out”

Madgie came in “sorry to interrupt it’s time for Sarah’s meds”

Sarah and Isabelle let go of one another, Madgie gave Sarah a shot that she moaned at from the needle, after that was done, Sarah felt numb again, from the waist down. Sarah looked at Isabelle.

“I know what I am going to do” Sarah said brightly

“What’s that?” Isabelle asked curious

“I am going to take Toby, and we are going to get far away from the castle, not above, somewhere here. Maybe I will go stay with Hoggle” Sarah told them

Madgie and Isabelle gave each other shocked looks, and then they looked at Sarah.

“Uh… Sarah, I don’t think that is a good idea” Isabelle tells her

Sarah gave her a puzzled look “why not?”

Isabelle sat down on the bed next to her “no matter where you go, Jareth will find you and bring you back”

Sarah gave an agitated sigh “I guess you’re right, but I don’t want to see him for a while”

Isabelle patted Sarah’s leg affectionately “I know dear, I will try my best to keep Jareth away from you, but you know with him it will be hard”

“I understand” Sarah said

Sarah and Isabelle heard voices in the hall; it was a little hard to make out through a closed solid door.

 

In the Hall

Madgie was trying her best to keep Jareth from entering the room ‘I need to get in there, to see Sarah” Jareth pleaded

Madgie held her hand up to stop him “you upset Sarah earlier, I can’t have you doing that”

“I’m sorry for doing that, I just want to talk to her, be with her” Jareth said sadly

“Come on Jareth, let’s go, we can try to come back tomorrow” Talon said trying to reason with him, Jareth gave up defeat which wasn’t easy for him to do. They walked away.

Madgie went back in the room and joining Isabelle and Sarah “what was that all about?” Isabelle asked

“Your husband and Jareth, they wanted to come in and see Sarah, but I said no. they are going to try again tomorrow” Madgie replied

Both Sarah and Isabelle didn’t say anything they just nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

“Come on Isabelle dear, time to go, Sarah here needs her sleep to get stronger” Madgie told her

“Okay” Isabelle said

She leaned over and hugged and kissed Sarah on the cheek, and left, Sarah sank down on the bed until her head hit the pillow, Madgie was ready to go, Sarah grabbed her arm gently.

“Please stay with me, at least till I fall asleep, I have been having nightmares” Sarah said

Madgie nodded her head and sat down in the chair next to the bed. Sarah had trouble sleeping she could tell, so she started to hum softly, it was soothing to sarah and put her right to sleep.

Jareth laid in bed that night, thinking about Sarah and wondering if they could ever move past this and be together again, and soon sleep claimed him as well.
