Epilogue:

Jareth and Sarah hooked arms and walked through the gardens back to the castle. Sarah laid her head on his shoulder as they walked and she listened to him talk of all the women who tried to 'cheer him up' during her departure.

"News travels fast in the Underground, I see," she said with narrowed eyes.

"With a heartbroken king, there is only so much time to work in," Jareth explained and smirked with amusement, "I promise that you will have first shot at the next suitor who comes to knock on our doorstep if they hadn't heard that you are back."

"Good," Sarah smiled and materialized a crystal to float in front of her, "Because I have some tricks that I want to try with a few of the goblins and these suitors."

Jareth laughed and kissed her on the top of her head.

"What did you mean that there is only so much time to work in?"

"Most of the time we fae could relatively die of a broken heart if we do not find another."

"Is that why your father married Gossimer?"

"No," Jareth shook his head, "Lucky for my father, he had me. And luckily I had Toby. Not quite the same since my heart still held hope for your return."

"How is Toby?" Sarah asked with sadness laced in her voice.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" he nodded toward the archway that led to the castle and there stood a very stunned Toby.

"Sarah!" Toby rushed at Sarah, nearly knocked her to the ground as he hugged her around her waist. He quickly looked up at her face, but kept his arms around her, "You do remember me, don't you?"

"Of course, I do, champ," she nodded and hugged him back. She knelt down and looked at him in the eyes, "How did you know I was down here?"

"I didn't," he shook his head and pointed at Jareth, "I saw your owl form from the window and ran down to see who you found in the Labyrinth. And here I find my sister."

"Surprise," Sarah smiled and hugged her brother again.

"Hey, your ears are pointy," Toby pointed out and scrunched up his face.

"So are yours," Sarah flicked at one of his ears and laughed a little at his quick attempt to cover them up, "Don't worry. It's who we are now."

"I wouldn't want it any other way," Toby shook his head.

"Neither would I," Sarah smiled at her brother and then up at Jareth who helped her up.

"Come now, I want Renfle to look you over," Jareth took her arm and led her toward the castle. Toby trailed behind with a smile.

"A healer?" Sarah frowned, "the last thing I want is to be poked and prodded any more than what I was Aboveground."

"I assure you, my love, this is a lot less prodding and more of an over view," he laughed at her pout, "And you will never see another hospital again. Those humans were idiots."

Sarah hesitantly agreed to the 'over view' and smiled as Renfle looked her over. She remembered the dwarf healer from when Toby was sick and she trusted the dwarf well. Hoggle and Grindle had heard quickly of her return and were there at the examination with Jareth and Toby. Ludo was busy with the fire gang trying to rebuild the portion of the Labyrinth that he had destroyed while under the control of the shadows.

The four of them were in the room just to the side of the chamber where Renfle was examining Sarah. Toby sat on the floor with Grindle while Hoggle paced the floor every so often. Jareth just leaned against the wall by the doorway and made sure to be on alert if he was needed.

After an hour or so the healer came out of the room. Hoggle stopped his pacing, and both Toby and Jareth looked quickly to the short dwarf woman. Grindle worried with her skirt and watched the response from the dwarf.

She chuckled at their stares and shook her head, "Everything is fine. Stop your worryin'."

"Thank you, Renfle," Jareth said with a relived sigh.

"One more thing, your majesty," she waved for him to come closer and whispered in his ear. His eyes widened and then quickly turned to the doorway into the chambers where Sarah was still seated. Renfle nodded at him, "She's still in there. Go ahead."

Jareth nodded and quickly stepped into the chambers. Renfle turned to the others in the room and noticed their eyes on her as if she was going to explain.

"Well?" Grindle was the first to ask, "What was that about?"

"Let's just say that there will be another set of feet scampering the halls very soon," Renfle smiled her dwarf smile and then walked out of the room.

All three heads looked into the room to see Sarah sitting on the bed with Jareth knelt down in front of her. He was at the level of her stomach and was talking to it as if it was already a baby. Sarah smiled contently at him and ran a hand through his hair. He hugged her tightly and the couple stayed like that for a few moments.

"Let's leave them be," Grindle said and pried Toby and Hoggle from the doorway. She shooed them out and shut the door to the chambers behind her. She sighed heavily to herself and then shook her head in disbelief, "Another child to run after. My work will never be done."

A few years later, Queen Sarah of the Goblin Kingdom stood on the balcony off the side of the main balcony and looked over the blooming Labyrinth. The last runner should be running out of time any moment and Jareth would be back. Ever since the defeat of the shadows and her return, the Labyrinth grew new walls and better defenses. It responded with the happiness of its rulers and Sarah was very happy. She rubbed at her swollen stomach and kept her gaze at the far horizon line.

Two arms wind around her from behind, settled on each of her hands and a voice whispered in her ear, "And what has caught my queen's attention so well?"

"The runner give up again?"

"They were very close," Jareth shrugged, "They were at the very edge of the trash heap."

"A pity," she said sadly and turned in his arms, "Toby talked to me earlier today."

"And?"

"He isn't quite sure if he wants to be king," Sarah murmured.

"I will not force it on him," Jareth shook his head, "He is only eleven. He has much more time to think about it."

"But if he doesn't become king then-"

"Daddy!" a little dark haired toddler ran into the room. Jareth knelt down and the little boy threw his arms around Jareth's neck as if he was going to get a piggy back ride. Sarah laughed as the boy was pulled over Jareth's shoulder and into his front.

"Yes, dear one?" he smiled down at the little one in his arms. The little boy's wild short hair covered his mismatched eyes just slightly as he looked up at his father.

The boy laughed as Jareth spun him, "You and mommy going to come to dinner?"

Sarah looked over at the door where Grindle bowed her head, "It is ready, your majesties. He wanted to come and tell you."

"Thank you Grindle," Sarah smiled and looked at her pointedly, "And what did I tell you about formalities?"

"They are very far and in between, niece," she reminded her and left the doorway.

Jareth put his son on the ground and the little boy hopped to his mother where he hugged her warmly. Sarah stroked her son's hair and Jareth escorted his family toward the dining hall.

As their son walked ahead, Sarah turned to Jareth, "What about the kingdom?"

"When he is ready, he will decide," he nodded at his son and then rubbed her swollen stomach, "I doubt that he will be the last heir. And I will not force it on him. I love this land and I will serve it well. After all, it gave me you."

A/N: Hello all and thank you for joining me on my journey through the labyrinth. I have another labyrinth fanfiction almost completed, but I am not sure if I will and will only begin to upload it after I finish it. It may be shorter than this one, but I don't know yet. Thank you all, especially the one who reviewed on the chapters. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and better tomorrows!
