The Dream Life || Revamped

Chapter 47

 It had been a month since the trial, and March had finally arrived. It was the March Blizzard. The winds made loud roaring sounds as they blew past the mansion. Virgo and Libra decided to watch the blizzard in the Roel manor with their parents. Virgo rubbed his stomach slowly. He smiled softly and looked up at Libra. "I'm so happy," he whispered. He had been feeling sluggish lately and struggled to eat the meals that Libra made him. Libra and Virgo decided to visit the hospital earlier in the week, and they found out that Virgo was around two weeks pregnant. Virgo was glad that he was pregnant. He looked out the window and saw the snow moving wildly. The trees were swaying against the violent winds. The sky was pure white, but it felt like the entire world was engulfed in dark.

Libra smiled gently as he kissed Virgo's rosy cheeks. He looked outside the large window and hummed. All the cars were in the garage, and the news reporters were advising the entire kingdom to not go outside. Why would anyone go outside in the blizzard? The winds were going at least eighty miles an hour, and it was hailing and snowing violently. Libra sighed as he leaned his head back. He and Virgo were cuddling on the couch and were watching a movie that was playing on the mounted TV screen.

The smell of cinnamon was filling the spacious living room. Lepus and Ceres were baking cinnamon rolls. Virgo enjoyed the smell of cinnamon, and he had been craving cinnamon rolls for a while. He was glad that his father and his father-in-law were baking cinnamon rolls. He could feel his mouth drooling at the smell, and he sighed happily. "It smells so good, bubba," he whispered. Libra nodded. He held his ceramic mug up to his lips and drank the hearty and delicious hot chocolate. He yawned and rubbed the back of his neck.

Libra's assignments were piling up, and he had been working on his assignment nonstop. He was annoyed by all of it, but it was senior year. He would be graduating soon and getting his Business Management degree. Libra's laptop was standing on the wooden coffee table, and it was propped open, but Libra didn't feel like doing his assignments. He wanted to enjoy Virgo's presence and celebrate Virgo's pregnancy.

His ears twitched when he heard creaking from upstairs. He looked at the stairs and saw Lynx and Austrinus walking down the stairs. Lynx saw Austrinus as a business opportunity. She smirked as she shook Austrinus's hand. She knew it would be beneficial to have the owner of the best hospital in the kingdom as a business partner. Austrinus was also a Lufrindan veteran and was the admiral of the best naval cavalry in Lufrinda. "Your boyfriend must be happy to be dating you," Lynx told Austrinus. "He has gone through quite a lot when he was young."

Austrinus chuckled and nodded slowly. He looked down the stairs and noticed Virgo laying on the couch. He smiled weakly and looked at Lynx. "If I wasn't so easily discouraged, I would have fought harder to get Ceres out of his marriage," he said. "I regret not doing more despite having the power to do so." Lynx slowly nodded. She could hear the pain in Austrinus's voice, and she was saddened that Austrinus and Ceres were separated from each other because of a dominant woman. She sighed and looked down the stairs. If she could, she would have killed the woman.

The two arrived at the bottom of the stairs. "So, what were you talking about?" Libra asked his mother. He set the mug on the wooden coffee table and looked back at the two. Austrinus looked at Libra and Virgo and rubbed his clean-shaven jaw. He looked at Lynx and saw her annoyed expression.

"We were talking about our spouses," Lynx answered. Libra rolled his eyes and turned around. He caressed Virgo's cheek and kissed him on the lips. Virgo smiled as he kissed back. He wrapped his arms around Libra's neck. Lynx frowned bitterly. She knew that Libra got his shameless actions from her. She massaged her forehead in annoyance. "Ceres is lucky to have Austrinus now, but he is still in danger because Pyxis's entire family is full of psychopaths. They know that Pyxis is in jail because of Ceres, and they'll start searching for Ceres to get vengeance."

Virgo pushed Libra away, and he looked at his mother-in-law with fear. "Wait what?!" He screamed. "They'll hurt my dad?!"

"Well, it won't happen," Austrinus reassured Virgo. He walked over to Virgo. He kneeled onto the ground and rubbed Virgo's back gently. Virgo let out a panicked sob, and he covered his mouth. He looked at Austrinus with fear. He didn't want his mother's family to go after Ceres. His father didn't deserve any more stress. Austrinus hugged Virgo, letting Virgo cry into his shoulder. He wondered what horrors that Virgo and Ceres had to face in the house. He wished he wasn't a coward back then. He pursed his lips, and he shook his head slowly. "I'm so sorry, Virgo. I should have saved you and your father from that hellhole. I'll make sure Pyxis's family doesn't come anywhere near you too."

Libra rubbed Virgo's shoulder gently. He smiled softly and said, "Princess, you don't have to worry about anything. You're getting married into a powerful mob family." Virgo looked at Libra and smiled softly. He sniffled as he wiped his snot away. Libra was right. Virgo let out a teary giggle and let go of Austrinus. He smiled sweetly at his future stepfather. Austrinus smiled back and stood up. He walked to the kitchen and glanced back at Virgo and Libra. He hoped he could be a good father-figure for Virgo.

Virgo hugged Libra, burying his face into Libra's chest. He took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm lucky to be your fiance." Libra inhaled sharply. He could feel Virgo massaging his chest. He chuckled and looked down at his fiancé with a raised brow. He never expected Virgo to be mischievous. Virgo looked up at Libra with a cheeky grin. "You should be lucky that I'm your fiancé."

Libra smirked. "Of course I am," he answered. "You are carrying my child after all."

Gemini huffed as he ate his bagel sandwich which consisted of sour cream and avocado. He rubbed his stomach gently. He looked over at Musca and giggled. Musca was pregnant, and her stomach was growing visible. She looked at her wife, Cassiopeia Armand. She was the wife of the Grand Duchess of the Armand Duchy. Cassiopeia was a close relative of the royal Archambeau family of Andrial, and she considered herself lucky to be Musca's wife. She kissed Musca's cheek and said, "Well, I better go. I have an important meeting with your father."

"Okay," Musca answered. She giggled as she waved farewell to her wife. She looked over at Gemini and said, "It's quite a coincidence that Cassy is visiting when the blizzard is happening." Gemini nodded. He rubbed his stomach gently and huffed. He would be giving birth in early May, but he worried that he might go into labor early. Musca smiled softly. She was glad that her son and Gemini's twin sons would grow up together, but now that she was living in Andrial, visits would be scarce.

Gemini turned around and looked at the living room entryway. He sniffled, wondering where his husband was. He stood up and walked towards the entryway. "Where's Aries? He said he would be here by now," he sniffled and let out a frantic sob. He rubbed his stomach gently. Musca gasped and stood up. She rushed over to Gemini, rubbing his back gently. Gemini covered his face as he cried quietly. "I want him to be here."

"Oh, Gem, it's gonna be okay. He just had a meeting with dad and Cassy," Musca reassured. Both of their eyes widened when they heard a pop. Musca's eyes trailed down, and she gasped when she saw a puddle of water surrounding Gemini. Gemini moaned in pain, and he wrapped his arms around his stomach. He was getting painful contractions. Tears ran down his cheek rapidly, and soon blood started staining his pants. Musca let out a frantic scream, and she looked around the living room in panic.

No one was in the room. "Circinus!" Musca screamed, remembering that her older brother was training to be a doctor. "Gem's gone into labor!"

Gemini let out frantic sobs. He was going into labor early, and it had to be on the day of the March Blizzard. He didn't want to go into labor early, especially not during March. He kneeled down the ground, keeping a tight hold on his stomach. He breathed heavily. Why now? Why did he have to go into labor now? He looked up at Musca and said, "Get Aries. Now."
