Disclaimer: I do not own Labyrinth or any of it's characters, places etc.

Warning: This fic involves somebody suffering depression and it's symptoms including talk of suicide and self-harm. There shouldn't be anything graphic but if you're uncomfortable about that kind of thing then I'd advise you to hit the 'back' button now.

Epilogue - Two Years Later

Sarah stood out on her balcony overlooking the Labyrinth. She smoothed down the skirt of her simple forest green dress and brushed her long dark hair away from her face before taking the time to just watch the sun set on the horizon.

As the sky slowly darkened she watched as the goblins returned to their homes for the evening, smiling to herself as she saw Hoggle returning through the gates after a day of work in the Labyrinth. She let her thoughts drift to the first three friends she had made in this place; Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus. She saw them all on a regular basis now, and they helped her get through some low points in the last two years.

While the depression she had been lost in for so long had not disappeared the moment she had returned to the Underground, Jareth and her friends had helped her get through the worst of it. She still had bad days but she knew that now, no matter how lost and alone she felt, there was always someone there to help her.

She absently let her fingers run over the now fading scars on her left arm. While she hated them in many ways because they were a reminder of her past and just how far she had fallen, they were also a way to remind herself what she had gotten past and survived.

Brushing aside those thoughts she turned to go inside, only to come face to face with Jareth.

"Hello there love, nice night isn't it?" he asked, indicating the darkened sky.

Sarah nodded absently, a hint of surprise in her eyes as she realised how long she had been standing out here. "Yes it is," she finally answered.

"Come on Sarah, it's almost time for supper and it's beginning to cool off out here. We wouldn't want you getting sick in your condition now would we," he said, pressing his hand to the slight swell of her abdomen.

"Of course now Jareth," she said, smiling sweetly and finally seeming to snap out of her thoughts. "Besides, I'm starving. I am eating for two after all."

Jareth just rolled his eyes at her, having lost count of the amount of times she said that particular phrase a day. When she went to say something else he simply pressed his lips against hers until she began to move into the kiss, at which point the pulled away, leaving Sarah giving him an expression rather like a kitten being denied cream.

"The most effective and rewarding way to shut you up my dear Queen," he said with a smirk.

Sarah gave a half hearted glare to her husband and slapped his arm away from her, smiling to herself once she had pushed past him. When she reached the door she turned to look at him. "Coming Jareth? Like I said, I'm starving and I can hardly wait to get through dinner so that we can get to dessert."

At that comment and the look in Sarah's eye he hurried after her, knowing that she had him wrapped around her little finger. Only problem was that after two years, she knew it too.

FIN

AN: Sorry if there's anyone who hates the way things turned out, but it was never going to be a death fic or anything too dark, I wanted her to get better and I said this wouldn't be very long. There were a few people who said that "people don't just get over depression that fast" and other things to that effect after chapter 7 but I never said that she was over it. Of course she wasn't over it, depression isn't something that just disappears, and while I haven't gone into detail in the epilogue I have made it fairy clear that she did continue to suffer problems after the fact and while she is pretty much fine at the 2 years later mark even then she still has down days. Personally I find that fairly believeable. I mean not everyone with depression deals with it or recovers from it the same way. Sorry for ranting and taking so long to post the sadly short epilogue but RL sucks and I had no motivation to write anything. Hope that clears things up for you all, and yes I made her pregnant cause I have a thing for babies lol, and no there will be no sequel. Thank you for reading, hope you found it at least a little enjoyable if you made it this far.
