A/N- I'm doing well with this. Okay I have to say I am suffering a horrible ailment…THE CRASH! *sob* I wish I was sugar high again, its fun. Anywho, this first part gets a tiny bit gruesome and there are a couple of swears so…YE HAVE BEEN WARNED!

(Standard Disclaimer Here!)

Ch 12

Will The Scars Heal with Time?

"Case, it's Jareth- he is here to see you…are you feeling better?" Marissa said as I sat out in the garden. I was wearing a pair of jeans, a t-shirt that said 'Beware the Plot Bunny!', and my converse.

It was sunny and beautiful but I just didn't feel well. It had be a week and I was sleeping with Jareth again in out room, both meanings of the terms in this case. I was talking and laughing and trying to make things return to normal. But I would wake up some nights scream at the top of my lungs and Jareth would have to calm me down.

It was the same nightmare over and over again. I was lying on the table and Marlys had the white hot knife. She slashed my stomach open and pulled out a small fetus. It was smaller than a mini muffin but it was a miracle all the same. She would take the knife and would slice the baby's throat untll it would stop oozing blood. She would drop the baby and cackle as she walked away.

I never told Jareth what the nightmare was.

"Marissa I'm fine, I may have woken up from a nightmare this morning but I'm okay." I scoffed and smile as Jareth bent down and kissed me.

"Hi, how are you feeling?" He asked as he kneeled to look at me.

"Good. The wedding it today is it not? And by the way, it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding, so scram! We need all the luck we can get." I said smiling.

"Can't you fear me like all my other subjects?" Jareth jeered

I laughed as I stood from the bench. "Nope, I know your true colors and how sweet you can be! Now, I need to get ready, you need to get dressed and I am going to go aboveground. "I said as I slipped the crystal from Jareth's grasps. He had a habit of spinning one.

"Why?" He asked, I could tell he was suspicious of me.

"Because, I need to buy some lacy panties for our honeymoon, duh." I said while giving him a kiss.

"Alright, all you have to do is spin the crystal like we've practiced and then smash it on the ground, wishing you would go aboveground. The when you want to comeback just wish yourself away again." He said as I smiled and kissed him again before walking into the castle and then into our room. I went into the large chest in Jareth's closet that contained the left over cash, which was a lot more that you would think, from our last trip aboveground.

I grabbed about three hundred dollars and shoved them in my purse and then juggled the crystal, smashing it on the ground while wishing myself to the mall. I went into Hot Topic and bought a plain black/ blue corset with some matching boy shorts and fishnets.

Nothing special, but still sexy.

I went into the CVS to get what I really came for…about fifty pregnancy tests.

The clerk gave me a funny look as he rung them all up. I looked around I saw a fridge with energy drinks; I grabbed an Amp and paid for all of the stuff. He put the pregnancy tests in a black bag, luckily the kind here you couldn't see in. I walked out, sipping my drink as I walked around in the mall. I walked past Victoria's Secret, but doubled back and decided to go in. I was looking as all the wedding intimates when I heard a familiar voice say.

"Can I help you? Thought I must say you look a bit young to be getting married."

I turned to see the girl in all my nightmares.

Princess Marlys.

"Marlys?" I asked quietly, almost ready to sob.

"Um, No. I'm Mary and I work here. I think you have me mistaken for somebody." She smiled.

She has already been banished…She doesn't know who I am. Just act calm.

"Oh My Mary!" I heard another familiar male voce sing.

I looked to the source of the voce and almost spit my drink out.

Sabastion Murphy.

"Sab?" I also said quietly as he wrapped his arms around Marlys, kissing her on the lips.

"Who is asking?" He smiled then looked at me. He smiled faded.

"Oh Casey…Hi...Uh this is my girlfriend, Mary. Mary, Casey, Casey, Mary." He introduced

"Hi, Well I was just looking around…see I'm getting married…" I mumbled as I tried to edge past.

"Aren't you a little young? Are you getting hitched to that James fellow?" He questioned.

"Yeah, I was just looking for a blue garter…I need something blue." I scowled, he should not mock Jareth or he will get slapped. Girlfriend or not.

One of my first loves and my mortal enemy who almost killed me are happily dating. How Ironic.

"Casey, are you okay? You look sickly." Sab questioned before Marlys/Mary yelled at him.

"No its fine, no I was attacked about a week ago and I'm just not feeling well. I lost a lot of weight."

"Did you get any scars?" He marvelled, Marlys/ Mary once again yelled at him.

I nodded and lifted the side of my t-shirt until he could see the burn.

"Dude that must have hurt like a bitch." Sab cried as I fixed my shirt. Marlys gasped and said she was so sorry and she would give me one of the best blue garters free as a wedding gift.

"Yeah, luckily Jar-James saved me." I sighed as Marlys rang me up and we walked out of the store.

"Well it was nice to meet you Mary." I said, she was a lot nicer aboveground than back in the underground.

"It was very nice to meet you to Casey, and I am so sorry about the burn." She apologized, as I walked away I muttered to myself.

"I'm sure you're not."

~*~

"Jesus H. Christ! Did you get enough Prego tests?!" Marissa said as I dumped the bag out on her bed.

"I want to be set till the next time I can sneak aboveground and get more. I don't want to have kids Duran Duran. I know I know I need to carry on the family name but I just don't think I would make a good mother." I said as I took one out of the package. I ran to the bathroom and set to work. After a few minutes of waiting the reading said negative, I did another one to make sure and it still said negative. Marissa and I sat on the edge of her bed after we hid the tests in her closet.

"Maybe Marlys lied…" I said as I rested my chin in my palm.

"Most likely, she was a bitch who just wanted to mess with you. Now come, you're getting married in a few hours and you're not even close to ready."

~*~

"Casey you look beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." Queen Niamh said as I stood in the mirror.

"Thank you…" I said. I looked at the dress closely, the top was embroidered with delicate lace from Queen Niamh's own wedding dress, and it was corseted and fitted until the bottom which was flowy and delicate. I loved it and so did most of the women who were helping me get ready. I had the dress with the lace from Niamh on, something new and old. I wore Queen Carmine's black cameo necklace, something borrowed. I wore the new blue garter underneath my dress, and something blue. I slipped on my cream coloured flats and pulled on my veil. Marissa, being my best friend, was set for the task of caring my ceremonial crown down the aisle behind me and placing it on the table in front of Jareth.

Jareth and I had both had crowns made for us for when we took the title of High King and High Queen. Mine was to be more delicate and Jareth's was to be strong and powerful looking. I was happy the way the jeweller and the goldsmith had deigned my crown. Normally, I don't like when people get to design what I need to wear. But Jareth made me give the permission over to both of them and I was really a pain in the ass to the poor guys. I was going to give them a few extra chickens in their pay checks for it though.

There was a knock at the door, and Queen Niamh opened it. It was Azriel. He wore a jacket similar to Jareth's blue one from the movie.

"My Darlings, I have come to steal the young bride and carry her down the aisle." He laughed. I smiled; his cheerful mood lifted my somewhat bleak one. The words Marlys had said a week before were still bothering me. Now with the two negative pregnancy tests, everything seemed more confusing than ever.

"Now darling, don't be too forceful." Niamh smiled in my direction "We don't want you to break her, she will be expecting soon."

My heart almost stopped.

"What?" I whispered. Did everybody know something I didn't?

When Niamh saw my pale face, she covered her tracks.

"Oh. Oh darling, I didn't mean anything negative by it. It's just an old woman like me can just look at a girl and know." She blushed, she obviously regretted say that.

"Oh, no don't be silly! I would love to be a mother." I laughed as Marissa, Niamh, and Azriel walked to the throne room, adjacent to the great hall. The truth was, I was dreading the day I would find out I was going to carry a baby.

The wedding was being held in the great hall. The height of society had come to see their new High King marry the girl that was almost killed by another kingdom. The gossip had spread all over the labyrinth. I was waiting for the signal from Azriel when I would be carried bridal style. It was a nod to the old medieval way that a goblin king would find a wife.

"Casey, its time."

That was the signal. I walked over to Azriel. He and I were going to be in the front, then Marissa with my new crown, then Niamh. As I became comfortable in Ariel arms I mumbled.

"May all the love in my heart help me."

It was then the doors were opened. And so was my new life.

~*~

My feet were placed on the ground across from Jareth. Jareth was dressed in an aboveground wedding tuxedo. He looked spectacular.

In front of him was a large stone tablet with strange writing on it. I was told by Jareth to place my palm on the mark in the center. As I did the mark started to glow blue. This made the crowd of goblins cheer.

Okay, that means it good…

Then Jareth told me to give him my right hand, as I did he pricked it lightly and had it drain a bit into the chalice. I told Jareth to give me his right hand after he placed his left hand on the mark. For him, the mark started to glow red. This also made the goblin's cheer.

I pricked his finger and made it drip into to the chalice; his blood seemed to sparkle on its own. I almost giggled at it. Then we each took a sip. When the water hit my lips I felt a little jolt of a spark. Like static electricity but nothing more. After that I took my finger and smeared the rest of the blood that had not clotted over on Jareth's forehead.

He did the same to me, making sure he got nothing on my dress. I smiled as he turned to me holding a peach…wait…A PEACH?! I was never told I was going to have to bite into a LSD peach. Jareth looked at me and I took it from him. I looked at it.

"It's not laced with magic. It's a normal peach; it's just supposed to signify Eve giving into the snake. In reality Eve actually bit into a peach and it was a goblin king and not a snake." Jareth whispered before I smiled and looked at the peach and took a light bite. It was so good and juicy. I chewed the bite happily.

A bit of the juice had gotten on my chin and Jareth had taken a finger and whipped it off before he licked his finger. I smiled and placed the peach with the bite mark on the stone table. Jareth came behind me. He pulled off my veil and placed my crown on my head, I placed his on his head, and we joined hands like we had practiced so many times. I smiled up at him before together we sent the crystal sliding across our hands in a way that was older that time.

~*~

"NO peeking!" Jareth laughed as he hands covered my eyes. He was leading me to the reception; we were to enjoy an evening dancing and laughter then we would get married aboveground. It was to be a busy day tomorrow.

"Come now Jareth, I just want to see!" I said as I tried to pull his hands away from my eyes.

"Oh Casey, you're going to love it!" I heard Marissa gasp as we stepped in to the room.

"Well then I would like to see it!" I said while rolling my eyes, even though they couldn't see it.

"Alright. Now, who do you love?" Jareth asked, I could tell he was smirking.

"You."

"Who do you want to sleep with for the rest of your life?"

"Princess Marlys, because I am secretly a lesbian and I think she is so sexy." I growled; I was getting rather impatient.

"Nope. Sorry you are no longer welcome." Jareth laughed before removing his hands from over his eyes.

I gasped.

The room looked as if Jareth had tree's grown through the tough marble floor. On all the branches and wrapped around all of the trunks were strands of lights. Light bulbs hung from ever spot somebody could think of. Along with the lights were strings of clear jewels and sapphires. The tables were round and were everywhere but there was still room for the dance floor. I spun around and Jareth was smiling at me.

"Oh, Darling!" I laughed as I hugged him fiercely.

"You're welcome. Tomorrow we will wake up as late as we want. We will be wed, and then we will travel to Europe. We don't even need to pack; we can buy as we go along." Jareth said as he picked me up bridal style. I kissed him as the guests came in as sat down. I looked around us. Marissa and Maximilion were sitting in a private area; he was whispering something in her ear. King Azriel and Queen Niamh were quietly discussing their moving plans. Jareth and I were dancing in the middle of the floor. I laid my head on his shoulder. He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you, Mrs. Jareth Bannatyne. Today you are Queen of the Goblins. In a month, High Queen of the entire Labyrinth." He mumbled as we continued to slow dance.

"I love you, Mr. Jareth Bannatyne. Today you are King of the Goblins. In a month, you will take your birth right. You will be High King of the entire Labyrinth." I mumbled into the fabric of his tuxedo.

And as I looked into his eyes, we shared a searing kiss that made me feel on fire.

~*~

My eye opened as the sun glared in my eyes. I groaned before flipping over. I felt my hand touch bare skin.

This is when I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Jareth was lying naked on his side of the bed. I was also as naked as the day my mother gave birth to me.

"Jareth, Jareth wake up. Today we're getting married for the second time." I giggled as I shook him tell he woke up.

He stretched before sitting up. I had already slipped from the bed. I was looking for all of my discarded wedding attire.

"Must we get married in the aboveground as well?" He groaned as he also began to look for his clothes.

"No. I don't really have anybody who I really want to go besides Marissa. She was at my Underground wedding. I don't need anything but you. Let's just leave for Germany!" I screamed as Jareth came over and pressed his lips to mine, I moaned.

"Fine by me. Now what should I wear today?" He smiled.

He began to look for his clothes again, leaving me to melt to the floor.

"Well, you do have to make yourself look like your young self." I winked.

"Oh right." He said before he pulled on a necklace that was sitting on his bed side table.

It looked like his regular amulet, just a smaller, silver version. Then within a blink he was the sixteen year old 'James'.

"Wow…" was all I could spit out.

"You like?" He said with a gay tone.

"Yeah. A lot." I smirked as I pulled on a pair of the adorable undies I bought when we went to hot topic that day. I then grabbed a pair of destroyed flair jeans and a black cami and an old green buffalo plaid long sleeve shirt. I slipped on a pair of old, 'well loved' vans. Jareth pulled on a pair of boxers with dinosaurs on them. He then got dressed in a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, an Iron Maiden band long tee and converse. Jareth grabbed the backpack we had packed; it was filled with enough money to get a nice breakfast, then to get us to Logan airport in Boston to Berlin, Germany. Then get a good sized hotel room, dinner and rent a nice car. I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I like a man with good taste.

"Are you ready?" He asked as he slung the bag on his back.

"Almost. I'm going to go say good bye to Marissa. We can meet in the throne room in an hour. Then we're on our own." I said as I kissed him and slipped through the door before he could disagree.

~*~

I slipped down the hallway, nearing Marissa's door, when it opened. I hid behind a pillar as Lord Maximilion stepped out, pulling on his coat. Marissa came out with nothing but her floor length silk robe on. She grabbed his hand as he begins to walk away and he pulled her in to one searing goodbye kiss. I could feel the heat from where I was. He pulled away reluctantly before running down the hallway and turning a corner, disappearing from view. Marissa sighed before leaning against the door frame. I stepped out of my hiding spot.

"Damn, he is a good kisser." I laughed, Marissa jumped.

"Oh my god, don't do that! How much did you see?" She asked as I walked into her room and plopped down in her chair by the fire.

"Only enough to make the assumption that Lord Maximilion stayed the night." I winked and she became frantic.

"You can't tell anybody we had sex outside of wedlock! It would ruin him! He would lose his rights to the warlock kingdom and now the land of moraine!" She ranted as she paced.

"Marissa, Marissa... relax. I won't tell anybody…I-" I started but was stopped when I saw the enormous bolder on her finger. "Rotting rock, Batman! What the hell is that planet on your finger!?" I gasped as she blushed.

"That's why he spent the night, he proposed to me and I said yes." She smiled as we both screamed and jumped up and down.

"When are you getting married?!" I exclaimed

"In the fall. I wanted to wait until you get back. Oh Casey, can you believe it? I'm getting married!" Marissa said, giving me a hug.

"I'm mad now. I'm going on my honeymoon and you're engaged. We can't have girl talk about how good Maxi pad is in bed." I laughed as she flipped.

"Hey if you get to call my husband Mr. Glitter induced coma and Mr. Tight tights. I get to call your fiancé Maxi pad." I giggled as I looked at the clock. I needed to get to the throne room before Jareth begins to wonder where I am.

"Look, I've got to go but I'll send you love every day. I'll send it to your room with my new found powers." I laughed as I conjured a crystal and threw it on the ground, causing a mound of glitter to appear.

"You're going to abuse that magic so much aren't you?"

"Yes, yes I am." I said simply before hugging her and running down the hallway.

~*~

"Now boarding, Flight 218 to Berlin, Germany."

Jareth and I were sitting at the air port waiting to board. Because we both looked like minors we had to use the magic to make ourselves look like twenty year olds. Problem was the fact Jareth looked like David Bowie and several people asked him for an autograph. By the time we had gotten out tickets and were waiting for our flight, Jareth had been glomped several times by fifteen year old girls and I was ready to kill as one girl tried to kiss him. I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her off.

"Let go of my HUSBAND!" I shouted, causing more attention.

Now that I was done fuming I was relaxing with Jareth.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yes, I can't wait." I smiled as we were told how to get to the first class by the steward.

"I can't believe you bought us first class." I smiled as Jareth put his backpack (which luckily made carry on size and weight.) above us.

"Well I want the best for you, my darling wife." he smiled before I kissed him lightly again. I started to get comfortable when I happened to see somebody very famous and somebody very familiar get on the plane in the seat across from us.

David Bowie and my mother.

"Jareth look." I whispered as I pointed at him. Jareth looked over and laughed I bit louder than I would have liked.

It caught the attention of Mr. Bowie. He looked over at us and my mother lent forward and followed his gaze. She looked at me a furrowed her brow. Mr. Bowie got up and walked over to us.

"I'm sorry if the seems strange, but you look a lot how I looked when I was your age. What is your name?" he asked, Jareth stuck out his hand for David Bowie to shake. My mother walked over.

"My name is Jareth Bannatyne. A pleasure to meet you Mr. Jones."

Mr. Bowie ad my mom exchanged glances.

"My parents were very big fans of Labyrinth. It came out on my birthday. My mother and father were at the theatre when she went into labour. I am just thankful I didn't end up as 'Hoggle'." Jareth laughed, this made my mother and Mr. Bowie chuckle.

"Well I'm glad you weren't named Hoggle as well. Who is this lovely lady who is accompanying you to Berlin, if I may ask?" David Bowie asked. I blushed.

"Mrs. Casey Bannatyne, his wife. We're newly married, in fact this is our honeymoon." I smiled as I shook his hand.

"Well then congratulations." He smiled, I smiled back.

"My daughter's name is Casey; she would have loved to marry a man named Jareth." My mother said sadly, I could tell she missed me. I was ready to cry.

"Well, what is ironic I also loved 'Labyrinth'. I was a total nerd when it came to the movie. So when I met Jareth in my mythology class, it was love at first sight." I blushed. A stewardess came over and told my mother and David Bowie that they need to sit down, we would be taking off soon.

"Well, it was very nice to meet you both. Good luck with your marriage." they both said before sitting down.

As the stewardess when over the safety instructions, I laid my head on Jareth's shoulder.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." he whispered back.

I pressed my lips to his in one searing kiss before the plane took off. As I fell asleep on the way to Germany, I could hear Jareth humming 'As the World Falls Down.' in my ear and I felt as right as I should as continued onto the next chapter of my life.
