The months passed with ease, and soon enough the deadline was looming for Raina's decision to move them back to the Labyrinth or to stay here on earth. Jareth had done everything he said he would and more, he wasn't perfect and of course they had arguments but then how many couples didn't.
The three of them were a family and Raina knew what her decision would be, it would just be a case of explaining her disappearance to her friends. She couldn't just leave and never see them again, but travelling between the Labyrinth and Earth wasn't easy.
It put thoughts into her head which she didn't want there, thoughts like could she just up and leave the life she had made here?
Jareth couldn't leave the Labyrinth after all he was king, but was she prepared to give up her dreams for him? She couldn't bear the thought of being without him now, but what would her life be apart from just his wife?
There was one decision she had made for certain though, and that was that her wedding would be on earth with her friends around her. She called the closest friends she'd made on earth Izzy and Lara to explain it to them. The three met at their favourite café, the silver star.
The three arrived and sat together with their coffees, Raina smiled and said "Okay girls, my lovely girls you know by now I'm engaged to Jareth and that we've had a history.
Okay well the history between me and Jareth is very complicated, do you remember the book I used to obsess over?" The two nodded and Izzy said "Labyrinth yeah, you and Lloyd had so many arguments over that book. I never understood why he hated it so much."
Raina smiled and said "It was because of Jareth that he hated it!" They gave her perplexed looks until she continued, "Well Jareth isn't technically from earth, Jareth is the goblin king from the Labyrinth!"
The two started at her for a moment before bursting into laughter, it wasn't until Lara caught her serious face that they stopped and Lara said "You're not joking, are you?"
Raina shook her head and said "Lloyd wished Blair away, so I of course went after her. What I didn't expect was that I'd actually fall in love and want to stay!" The two nodded but Izzy cocked her head to one side and said "But why are you back here? And why were you engaged to Lloyd?"
Rain bit her lip; she didn't think it would affect her so much after all this time. Blinking back the tears threatening to fall she swallowed and began regaling what had happened!
After she had finished the girls were staring at her and Izzy said "Wow girl, the idea that you were brave enough to even consider taking him back is incredible. So now you've got to decide if you want to go back?"
Raina shook her head and said "No, I know I'm going back but I'll visit often I promise! I just have one more thing! Will you guys help me plan my wedding? I want it here before we go back, because of all the amazing stuff they have here!"
The girls grinned and Izzy said "Well of course we'll help you! How else are you going to get the perfect wedding?" Raina grinned and said "Well shall we talk wedding?"
The girls started discussing everything that needed to be done, the dress, the reception, and the bridesmaids. When she returned to the house Jet was sitting on the sofa murmuring anxiously to himself, Raina smiled to herself as she stood in the doorway.
She could hear what he was mumbling and it made her smile and shake her head, "Just ask her, you coward! She said she'd tell you, but what if she wants to stay? What if she's decided she doesn't trust you? What if she turns you down?"
"What if she's waiting in the doorway waiting for you to stop doubting her so she can accept the offer to go home?" Jareth spun round to see her smirking at him, he looked sad and said "I'm sorry my darling, I know I should not doubt you but…wait did you just say you wanted to go home?"
Raina smiled and moving to the centre of the room said "Jet I love you, I always have! The labyrinth, despite the problems we had, is still my home and I want to be there with you!" Jareth's face broke into a grin as he jumped up and wrapping his arms around her; he swept her off her feet spinning her round!
He set her down and kissed her gently, pulling back and said "I'll start packing at once, we'll tell Blair as soon as she gets home!" Raina held up a hand and said "Jet, wait…" Jareth frowned and said "What is it sweetheart?"
Raina smiled and said "Nothing bad love, it's just I'd like to get married here with my friends!" Jareth breathed a loud sigh of relief and said "That's fine, my dear! Of course we can get married here, I completely understand wanting to get married with your friends there! I assume you've already asked Izzy, Lara, Roz and Martha to be your bridesmaids."
Raina grinned and said "I've asked Izzy and Lara, Roz and Martha couldn't be there but I'll see them soon." Jareth smiled and said "I suppose we have an excitable child to tell!" Raina smiled and then grinning said "Shotgun not it!"
Jet gaped at her and then in a whiny childlike voice said "Oh no fair, why do I have to tell her?" Raina smirked and said "You lost, suck it up!" They smiled and embraced the other before moving on with their respective days.
When they picked Blair up from school they waited until they got home before they sat her down and Raina said "Blair we've got something important to tell you!" Blair looked at them expectantly and Jareth said "Raina's made her decision pixie, we're getting married here and then we're going home!"
Blair beamed and flinging herself into her surrogate parent's arms said "Finally, I've been waiting to hear that for so long, I can't wait to go home, and does that mean I don't have to go to school anymore? When is the wedding going to be? Am I going to be in it?"
Raina laughed and said "I've got to have a bit of time to plan it and until we're married yes you still have to go to school young lady! Of course you're going to be in it darling, I can't have my wedding without my flower girl now can I?"
Blair beamed and then pulling on Raina's hand she started babbling on about all the different kinds of things they could do for the wedding, Jareth grinned watching his two favourite girls chat about the wedding and their future together.
Meetings between the girls came and went, with details getting sorted at everyone, the four bridesmaids and flower girl. They arranged as many of them as possibly after school hours so Blair could attend them, also so the others could work at the same time.
Jareth often came and sat in a few of them, when his decision was needed on stuff, such as the venue, theme and colour scheme, other than that he left well enough alone, knowing what women were like when it came to weddings.
It was decided they would get married in Raina's home church, St Mary's and that they would move to the nearby castle hotel for the reception. The theme would be a general theme with formal attire with a slight medieval theme to fit in with the castle; the colour scheme was sapphire blue and silver.
Colours, Raina recalled Jareth had worn in his hair when they had first danced when he had stolen Blair. The dresses had been picked and the date was set, soon they would be married and they'd be going home.
Hey sorry it took so long to upload I went through a personal crisis but I hope you enjoyed it and I think they'll only be about 2-3 more chapters after this which i'm working on right now.
