Chapter 46

Epilogue

Jareth 's POV

A sat in my throne properly, so in other words, uncomfortably, talking with Sarah's father Robert. After greeting him, I had asked which name he prefers. Robert or Samuel. He answered with something much like Sarah's. That he had often thought about it, and decided, he couldn't help his name being changed, but weather he liked it or not, his name was Robert, and he had to deal with it.

Robert had come back and visited with Toby after he found out about mine and Sarah's engagement. He was shocked about how soon it had happened because he had only been home a few minutes. Sarah could barely contain her laughter as she explained the time difference again.

Me and Robert were just sat talking, drinking something called tea. Apparently is was a common, non - alcoholic, beverage they drank in the Aboveground.

At first, I was confused by the taste, but after a couple of sips, I started to like the warm brew.

"Jareth." He started, causing me to look up from my drink. "I want to talk to you... About Sarah."

I had a funny feeling I knew where this was going, and it wasn't going to be easy for him, so I simply nodded.

"She's never really had... a boyfriend. Or anyone for a matter of fact." He took a slow breath and continued.

"She's happy with you, I can see that plain as day, but... I guess what in trying to say is... the wedding night..." He stopped and shifted in his seat. This really was uncomfortable for him, then again, I don't blame him. We never told Sarah about what Vailan had tried to do... or what me and Sarah had done.

I internally smiled at the thought of Sarah beneath me, and couldn't wait until she was ready for that again.

Sarah... your father thinks you're still a virgin.

I heard her laugh inside my head and reply. He's so adorable. She laughed again and I had to try very hard to not join in.

He's trying to give me a speech on how, you never had a relationship so I should go easy on you on the wedding night.

She laughed again before she replied.

Or not.

I almost spat out my tea at that little response. Her words gave me hope that I would have her squirming beneath me sooner than I had thought.

I snapped back into the conversation just in time to save Robert from it.

"Don't worry Robert. I respect Sarah. And I respect that she might not want to..." I trailed off, seeing the look on his face.

"Thank you Jareth. I am proud of my Sarah for doing what she did in the Labyrinth. And I am proud to have you, as my son in-law. When I gave you my permission, do you know why?"

I looked at him confused. "I assumed it was because I was the only one who could keep Sarah calm through the nightmares."

He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder. "Partly yes. But also because you made her happy, and I could tell you would keep her that way. Everything about you, the way you talked, the way you held yourself, the way you acted, it was all very proud and kingly. Honestly I thought it was kind of pompous. But when I got to know you, I knew it was all a wall. I could see how... vulnerable. .. you were. But just like you helped her, you brought her to life. She did the same for you."

I smiled and nodded at him.

We stood just as Gareth walked through the doors. He nodded at me and I nodded back, then looked towards Robert.

"I understand." He said, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"I'll speak to you later my boy." He said, then did the one thing u did not expect. He hugged me. After I got over my shock, I hugged him back. I had never had a father figure, but Robert was becoming just that.

After Robert had left to go see Sarah and Toby, Gareth walked over to me.

"Well well brother. Looks like you did beat me to it after all." He smiled.

I laughed and replied. "Against you and Ruby? I have nothing and you know it."

We laughed over that for a moment then continued to talk about our suits for the wedding. We stuck to the traditional black suit, with green waistcoat and cravats because the colour suited Sarah.

Gareth was complaining about having to wear that light band also known as a princes crown.

"How do you think I feel? Have you seen that sandbag of a crown I have to wear? I'll implode from the gravity pull."

We laughed a little while longer and Gareth continued, telling me the guest list. There weren't many people, but it was boring me to death.

I started to think of Sarah in her wedding dress. Obviously it was up to Sarah and Ruby to design it, but I could still dream.

I pictured myself and Sarah, after the wedding, standing on the balcony to our bedroom. I stood behind Sarah, my arms around her waist as I kissed her neck. She turned to me and that look in her eyes told me the one thing I wanted. And my hands slid down to the laces on her wedding dress.

"Jareth!" I heard, Gareth snapping me out of my thought.

"Would you please stop imagining taking Sarah out of a dress she hasn't even got yet! I'm trying to talk."

I laughed and we continued.

Ruby and Gareth had left me and Sarah for some time alone. I walked over to her, her back facing me, and wrapped my arms around her waist, lightly kissing her neck as she leant back onto me. She turned in my grip so she was facing me, pulling me into a hug. I hadn't realised what she was doing until it was too late. She started kissing down my neck. Licking and biting at the skin. I groaned and she smiled against the skin, before biting down hard on the soft spot.

I used my arms wrapped around Sarah to pick her up lightly off the floor and walked backwards into the room.

I placed Sarah down on the floor, I was about to turn us around so I was on top, but she pushed me onto the bed before I had chance. Normally I would want to be in control, but I liked being beneath Sarah for once, as she laid between my legs rather than the other way around.

She moved back to my mouth and steadied her kissing, and I followed.

I placed my hands on her waist as we laid there, kissing softly.

As much as I wanted Sarah beneath me, I enjoyed this too.

"Just one more day." She whispered against my lips.

I smiled as I corrected her, using a quote from our first encounter which rather bizarrely lined up.

"One day, nine hours and twenty three minutes, and you'll be mine."

She laughed lightly and kissed me once more, before lying on my stomach, playing with my hair as she had done in the dungeon. We were discussing the flowers for the wedding. Sarah insisted on having white rose bouquets everywhere, but I interjected with red. In the end we agreed.

We were going to have white bouquets with a single red rose in them, red rose petals down the aisle and Sarah's bouquet would be entirely made out of red roses and foliage.

Sarah hadn't told me much about the dress, except that I was white, which I kind of figured.

Sarah and I had also talked about it and, no one was going to have to wear there crowns, which would cheer Gareth up and made me a very happy man to the point where I kissed her again.

Me and Sarah spent the rest of the day talking over the last few details and when we realised how late it was, fell to sleep.

We woke the next morning and laid talking a little longer. Today, Sarah and I would be separated due to tradition, which also meant I would be sleeping in my own chambers tonight, which reminds me. I had better put the bed back.

I kissed Sarah and said my goodbyes just in time for Gareth and Ruby to walk through the door.

After we left, I told Gareth about the decision to ditch the crowns and he literally jumped in the air. He was always so enthusiastic.

I spent the day helping to set up the decorations in the throne room, where the wedding would be.

I had some of the goblins move my throne and now in its place, stood the alter, where I would marry the love of my life.

Gareth kept trying to give me supportive words on how, 'it will all be ok.' And how, 'she'll love it.' Though I think he was trying to convince himself more than me.

The day passed by rather fast and before you knew it, it was night time.

I laid in my bed, talking with Sarah in mind.

Is Ruby sat watching you?

No. She was though. I told her she was creeping me out so she went and sat outside.

The same thing with Gareth. I said, wondering if they had secretly snuck off to be in each other's company. Keeping myself and Sarah apart, they had not seen much of each other.

This bed is way too big without you.

"I agree." Sarah jumped as I wrapped my arm around her waist in bed.

"Jareth what are you doing? We're not supposed to see each other before the wedding." She scolded, though I could tell she was happy.

I smiled and pulled her back against my chest. "I'm not looking... are you?"

She laughed and snuggled in further as I kissed and nuzzled the side if her neck.

"I love you Sarah."

"I love you too Jareth."

I smiled and we fell asleep.

I had managed to get up and out of Sarah's room before Ruby or Gareth entered in the morning.

I was now stood at the altar, waiting for Sarah, who was half way down the aisle.
