Sho took a split second to understand what was going on, and of course remembered that he was the one who was supposed to care for Macy as Chai had so entusiastically nominated him, even though family planning was not exactly his field of expertise.
"Yes, yes of course." he said, searching for his medical bag and feeling a little nervous about having to disappear into thin air. "What are his symptoms, exactly?"
Jareth watched as Macy closed his eyes. Sleep seemed like the best thing for him to be doing at the moment.
"I know," he whispered "He must have love you very much as well."

"well he's most probably in shock and he's emotional, as he's just received a letter telling him the baby's father is dead.....he came over funny saying he felt ill and went pale and weak" Hyde explained, watching Sho look around. He was feeling a tad uneasy about travelling aswell, as taking two always drained him.
Macy hadn't picked up what Jareth said, though his eyes slid open to stare blankly at the silky canopies over his bed. He was remembering all the positive things he and Caspian had shared, feeling that being upset would only tarnish the Pirate's memory, make Caspian upset for causing it and the strain on the baby would help none either.

The goddamn wa sjust a pain in the back side at this exact moment!
Usually it was annoying as hell anyway! But today the hurrt he was feeling made things even more obnoxious! He'd gotten lost a good bakers dozen times already! It was driving him mad! And one of the goddamn little Gits Jareth was king off had tried to lure him into the damn Bog! The little rat thing had fallen in itself, and Caspian felt that it almost cirtainly had that one coming! He was sure it had tried to cut his toe nails for him!
Finally after what seemed to him to have been hourse, at least five or six... he was tired after all, he'd run the ship as hard as he could to get here. His crew had met him at the elven coast a little under a week ago with news of what had happened, and a copy of the damned letter.
He was dead as far as the rest of the world was concerned...
And that had given him way more anxious greif than anything else had to date...
Macy was pregnant after all, and the situation would have felt to his lover like a horrible repetition of his own childhood. That wasnt somthing he ever wanted to put the unigon through... He wouldmt be surprised if Jareth tried to skin him for this...Especially as Macy was pregnant with his child.
Still.. he was going to go back none the less, he loved Macy more than he could ever express really and planned to be with hum until time ended one of their lives.. and his end, if natural was cirtainly not at any point soon....and hopefully wouldnt be anyway...
Now he just had to get to him... once he got to the end of the Labyrinth it was easier going as he knew the castle inside out and upside down, he'd spent long enough there with Jareth, it just seemed to be the damned maze he couldnt get his head around.
He refused any announcement at the gates.. he was tired, very very tired as he had rushed here, his wrists were still slightly bloody though they were beginning to scar, and there were numerous imperfections on his arms, legs and torsu, even the odd scratch on his face that showed he had not made imprisonment entirely easy, but hs escape had warn him down as well..
He was so tired, he almost felt like he was going to collapse... the ship had been low on water and food and he had refused most of his portions for the sake of his men who meant far more to him really.. he was well enough to move, that was enough... he would get to Macy.. he would manage it!
His slightly tsumbled footsteps took him down th emany corridoors, and helped him to punt a few obnoxious little goblins out of the way. Finally however he found the room he wa slooking for, he'd snuk in there months ago now and stollen the Unigon away.. and now he was stumbling in there once again, in a far worse state..
Regardless however he reached out a hand and seized the door handle, pushing it and pushing it open, he stepped into the room, letting the door bang open, hi slong hair flopping around his shoulde,r both his vivid green eyes fixed on Macy as the patch was long gone and he'd not bothered to try and find another.. he was just more intent on finding his lover..
"I told you I'd come and find you.." He said with a smie smile, a little unsteady on his feet and the slight break to his voice giving away howtired he was. Sleep woul dnot have bee easy coming while improsioned, and on the trip home the letter and how may well be affecting Macy had eaten away at him none stop.
And also the nagging worry for how Jareth was... He didnt like the idea of his closest friend mourning him...
"And I never go back on my word to those who I love...Sorry it took me so long to get here..." He was so very very tired...

Macy had been in a greiving state all week, he and the child were fine, it was just his emotions that upset his body when he started to feel ill. So he didn't cry or lash out anymore, he just greived inside and moped about like a lost puppy. He truly did feel lost, and that was why he had retreated to his room after dinner, staying anywhere else with all the fake pleasantries suffocated him and made him feel even more precious. He wasn't glass!! He was him, a living being who knew the difference between a want to and a need to.
He was sure some of the people on court thought badly of him. Especially with that old no-no that everyone did but still criticized:'sex before marriage', what the hell?! This wasn't some two hundred years ago or some holy place, only people that were truly stuck up their oar-end followed that saying.
So now he was led on his back on the bed, the pendant he had given Caspian in his hand and the journal, a few books and Caspian's hat led next to him in a neat pile. He grew agitated and restless, so he kicked the books off, they clattered to the floor. He was half way through getting up to put Caspian's hat on his dressing table when the door banged open, he turned an accusing stare to it and then it dropped.
"Caspian??" he asked in a disbelieving voice, he looked terrible. Macy got up as quick as he could and walked over, he had been waiting for what seemed like an eternity and with the letter, he thought Caspian would never come back again. He raised his hands to rest on the taller man's cheeks, his eyes brimming with joyful tears.
"but the letter, they said you'd been executed and they sent me some of your things...Cas, I thought you were dead" he added, a small smile tugging on his lips as he led Caspian over to his bed. He wouldn't push as the pirate looked awfully tired and he needed his wounds to be disinfected and a bath by the looks of it. Macy would help him later when he felt more up to it.
"get some sleep, you look tired we can sort you out later love" Macy said softly, sitting on the bed and swinging his legs up so he lay on it again. He was very cautious and knew now not to put too much strain on his body.

Caspian stopped, holding tightly onto Macy hand and just pulled him against his chest, stopping the Unigon from taking him anywhere right away. He just wanted to hug him.. to hold him, to feel his arms wrapped aroung his younger lover and their un-born child.
"Oh I love you.." he murmured quietly, holding him quite tightly, nosing his face against Macy's neck.
"You're wonderful.. Its so wonderful to have you back.." he let his hands run up and down Macy's back a few time, he was just so relieved... it was wonderful to be with macy again.. even he had to admit that there had been some momentts when he had actually feared that he might not be able to find Macy again.. that he might actually lose him.. he was so relieved to have him back.
"I'm sorry I took so long.." he said quietly, just holding him as close as he could.
"Things werent exactly easy to keep controll of.. but.. I promised Id come back to you.. I wasnt going to let our baby go through things the same way the you had to... we'll take care of the baby together.. and everything will be fine.." He did sound tired, but he didnt want to lay down just yet..."

Macy melted into Caspian's hold, hsi eyes wet with tears.
"I thought i'd never see you again, I felt awful" he murmured softly, a few tears trickling down his cheek and dampening his shirt.
"I woke up, hoping you'd be back and then the letter came and--Cas I missed you, I love you so much" Macy admitted, his arms wrapping around Caspian's chest. He was admitting all that he feared now, all he wouldn't tell.
"and they kicked me off the ship, I reallly thought that was it! the captain's gone so his lover goes too" he said softly, his voice muffled by Caspian's shoulder. It felt wonderful, being back in the Pirate King's arms and with the life inside him, it just made him all the more grateful.
"and those stupid stuck-up toffs!! they looked down their nose at me because I'm pregnant! 'sex before marriage oh good lord!!' it wound me up, but Dr Miyagi said it was bad for me to get too emotional, it would harm the baby"
"Cas you need to rest, I don't want you suffering" Macy ended his little rants, stroking the brunette hair out of Caspian's face and putting the pendant back around his neck, his hands staying attached to it as he gazed up at Caspian.

Caspian smiled slightly, and tightened his arms arounf the Unigon a little.
"I'm sorry I scared you Macy, I never wanted to.." He shifted and kissed him firmly on the cheek, holding him close still.
"And I'm sorry.. the crew were under my strict instructions not to endanger you at all.. and this is the safest place for you to be if I'm not there to look after you.." heshifted back a little and touched his fingers to the Unigons chin, tilting the other Males head back.
"Macy.. You should learn to ignore what the snobs here at court say to you.. but if they keep on saying things like that I might just have to do somthing about it... mightent I..?" he smiled slightly again.
"I love you after all. I cant have people bad mouthing you name my beloved..." he chuckled.
"And as for rest, i can assure you that while yes.. I am most definately tired.. I am okay.." He moved them both slightly closer tot he bed however, still holding Macy's chin elevated, when they neared it he leant down and captured the lovely Unigons lips with his again, in a gesture that he had been longing for since the moment they ha been seperated.
It was so wonderful to have him back...

Macy had his gaze tilted down, watching where his hands were resting against Caspian's chest, he made no complaint when Caspian made his head tilt up and definately not to the kiss on the cheek, he was just feeling a tad overwhelmed. Yesterday he had gone to bed thinking his lover and father of his un-born child was dead, today he was back in his arms. It was all a little weird, though he honestly couldn't be happier about it.
"what?? what do you mean??" Macy asked, he knew he should have ignored them. But they said horrid things about both Caspian and their child, and it made him rightfully angry. "Cas what are you thinking about??" he asked, a curious smile on his face.
He said nothing more when Caspian moved them, his gaze locked with his older lovers and he felt himself melt in the gaze, it was a beautiful emerald green, he felt a little sucked in. When their lips met he was a little surprised, his eyes widening a second before they drifted closed and he responded, his hands tightening their hold on Caspian's shirt. He had been wanting for Caspian's hold and his kiss, since the pirate king was escorted onto the naval ship.

Caspian laughed, finally breaking the kiss that he had held for quite some time now, unwilling to break the contact with the beautiful lover he had been so longing for.
This would likley be the first day tha Macy would have seen both the emerald green eyes staring at him, the eyepatch of course had never been returned to him.
"What am I talking about..?" He asked with a small smile, before shifting one hand round behind his back, the other still holding Macy close to him.
"I'm talking about keeping you with me forever of course..." he smiled slightly, releacingMacy for a moment, and dropping down to one knee before him, ignoring the slight pain it caused him.
"I'm talking about asking you to be mine, to marry me, to become my life's partner.. if the laws of the land will not allow it then I will use the laws of the sea.. I want you by my side forever.." he smiled fondly up at his lover.
"It does seem propper after all that our child should have a proper family, withbother parents firmly together, dont you..?" he held out a hand, a silvery coloured ring made from who knows what precious metal, white gold..? Platinum..? Set with a ruby and an emerald side by side rested in the palm of thepirates hand... the only stop he had made had been to pick this up.
"What do you think...?" He didnt plan to ask Jareth before Macy.

Macy would have complained about the length of the kiss, because air was a requirement to some people. But he had missed it, so he kept the contact, also unwilling to break it. He smiled when the contact broke, his hand smoothing over the surface of the pendant he had returned to Caspian.
He looked up when Caspian said the word 'forever', totally missing one of Caspian's arms leaving him to go behind his back. But he did notice the pirate king dropping to his one knee. His eyes wide, one hand held absently infront of his mouth he watched Caspian, his ears hearing but his brain hardly registering the words, he was that excited.
"Cas...of coarse I will.." Macy answered after a little while, it wasn't hesitation it was the initial relief and shock mulling over him, rendering him a tad speechless. He dropped carefully onto both knees and flung his arms around the pirates neck, snugglign himself closer to him. "of coarse i'll marry you!" he said happily, a smile on his face as he kissed the pirates cheek.

Jareth had been trying hard to keep life as normal as possible. Although that was quite difficult seeing as his childhood friend was confirmed as dead and his ward was pregnant with his child. but still he had done his best to keep Macy comfortable and made sure he had regular doctors appointments. But life just wasn't as bright anymore, even the Labyrinth had become a little darker and he suspected that Eidolon was just as upset as he was.
At that moment he had climbed the ridiculous amount of stairs to Macy's room with the Unigon's evening meal. Since Macy did not like having the Goblins around, he had to deliver his meals, which annoyed him no end, he was supposed to be a king not a waiter. He lightly tapped on the familiar oak door and let himself in, creating an unusual balancing act with the tray he was carrying.
Luckily the plum pudding that Macy had a desperate craving for stayed on it's plate and did not end up in a sticky mess on the floor like it had threatened to. Sometimes Jareth wished his 'son' could have picked a more tooth friendly craving, but he was largely ignorant about those sorts of things. If only Shiayla were with them, she would know what to do, not to mention the fact that she would have been thrilled at the prospect of becomming a grandmother.
"Macy?" he called softly as he stepped through the gloomy doorway, "I brought your dinner..." he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight in front of him and the tray fell to the floor with a noisy clatter.

Caspian swept himself easilly up off of the floor as the door opened, recognising the voice at once, this was well timed, any sooner and the goblin king might have had somthing to say about his little proposition.
"Hello old friend!" He stated in his jovially mocking one of voice,
"Surprised to see me..?" He smiled, that same infectios slightly crooked smile that had been a common sight on his face since he left the court for the first time and no longer had to be a well mannered noble.
It felt good to stand again, his joints were sore and the abraisions on his skin haddntl iked being stretched to allow him to kneel, some fresh traces of blood on his clothing told of this, but outwardly he made no complaint at all. He did look a bit of a mess however, and it was clear that his treatment haddnt exactly been first class.
"Come now man!" He said, gesturing at Jareth,
"If you get any more slack jawed people will mistake you for an ash tray, or you'll start catching flies, that would be a fine thing wouldnt it...?" He grinned impudently again and brushed his ponytail back over his shoulder, leaning down once more to kiss his now fiance on the cheek.
"Really Jareth, that looks doesnt become you at all, anyone would think you'd seen a ghost, its really no way to congratulate your ward on his engagement.." he smiled, his fingers twitching lightly against Macy's back.
He would never dream of keeping the new arangement a secret from Jareth, but he would never dream of breaking it to him gently either.
He smiled fondly at Macy and brushed his nose over the spot on his cheek where he had just kissed him.
"Its amazing how shiny and white the Goblin Kings teeth are, dont you think my love..? This is the perfect angle to see them from! Tis a rare chance indeed!"

Macy looked up when the door to his room opened for a second time that evening, of coarse he was less than happy that his pudding was now on the floor. He had wanted to eat that. A ghost of a pout flickered onto his lips as he slowly rose along with Caspian, finding it rather uncomfortable on the cold stone floor of his bedroom.
His face heated up slightly and he stepped back to sink into a sit on his bed. Finding himself suddenly drained, being pregnant was an awful bother sometimes. He was just dreading when the little life within him started to kick or even the birth....he cringed.
"Cas...really must you start so early??" he asked his fiance, directing to his going back to tease Jareth already. He'd barely been confirmed alive for five minutes and he'd already got straight up into the swing of things. Macy had quite lost his taste of teasing the Goblin King. Maybe pregnancy was maturing him...pfft yeah whatever. The Unigon rolled his eyes at that thought.
"Caspian.." Macy said in an exasperated tone, that really was no way to break an engagement to your family. He stood up and wrapped his arms around the pirate king, smiling as he felt his cheek be brushed with the tip of his nose. Caspian needed a bath, he smelt a little off. Macy wasn't going to tell him that, he wanted to be with him too much. He bit his lip to force back a laugh at Caspian's observation of Jareth's teeth. That was wholly too random.

Jareth frowned, some things obviously never changed. And to think he had sunk as low as grieving the old scoundrel.
"So you're immune to death now? I should have guessed, you always find a way to spoil my plans."
With a slight gesture of his hand, the mess the pudding had made was gone, he didn't usual use magic so flippantly but he was annoyed and did not want to hang around any longer than he had to.
"No doubt you'll want to recover, under my roof, without so much as a thank you. And if you expect me congratulate either of you on your little fluff-fest you've got another thing coming. Go and get married if you wish, it's really no concern of mine, you're both adults and it's about damn time you started behaving that way, because I am sick to death of both of you." and with those final words he disapeared, a pale barn owl in his place which swooped silently out of the window.

Macy's mood dropped about sixteen levels at Jareth's tongue-lashing. He had been right, the Goblin King much preferred him being away from court. His moods swung heavily and with all the sadness he had been feeling, he was very, very touchy and that was what landed him to shout at the people who had bad-mouthed Caspian and his unborn child.
He stood up, arms leaving Caspian as he stared out the window. Wow, no acceptance to a new stage of life, he didn't understand but his heart stung at Jareth's words. He was in pain, and it wasn't physical pain either, it was emotional.
"you should go bathe Cas, I'll get you some clothes and food..." He said with a slight smile down to his fiance, Jareth had been his rock for weeks now. To have his new found affection for the Goblin King flung in his face made him feel like distancing himself again.
