The Zodiacs {9}

Days turned into weeks, and weeks became months, yet the pain of loosing him was still uncontrollable. Part of me prayed everyday I had made some mistake, and that he wasn't dead, but the other part of me knew he was. I had to keep going though. I had to be strong for my babies. The only things I did related to Scropio and his children. I went to the inquest about how he died. A drunk driver. He had been walking home after going to the park, when a drunk driver lost control of the car a plowed into him. My love lost his life because someone was stupid. I went to his funeral. I don't remeber much all I remember is crying and, seeing his face. So white, so lifeless. But even dead he was beautiful. Dad, took me to all of my scans, but all I could think about was he should be here sharing this with me. He should be helping me choose names, and picking out baby clothes. Everywhere I went, I got disapproving looks from older women. I was really starting to show. One woman had the nerve to come up to me and call me a slut, and asked if I even knew who the father was. I set her straight. I told her how he was dead. I never took my ring off. Never. Dad and the twins kept badgering me about choosing baby names, but I kept saying I would choose when I knew the gender. I had taken to every morning and night before I could sleep, I would have to go to Scorpios room, just to be near him. It was only after the first month, I noticed the envelope on his desk. Venus, it said in his messy handwriting. I opened it and in it was a letter.

"My love,

I know you hate me but, I need to tell you the truth. It wasn't me, Pandora drugged me. I found that out when I confronted her after I dropped you back off at home. I love you, please, please please, forgive me. You are my soulmate, now and forever. I love you,

forever yours scorpio xx

I hated myself. It wasn't his fault. I didn't trust him. The twins heard me sobbing and came to see me,

"Whats up Venus?"

"Is there a problem with the babies?" I shook my head and handed them the letter.

"THAT BITCH, WE ARE GOING,"

"TOO RIP HER HEAD OFF." I didn't care what they did. She was a bitch. She took my babies' father from them. There was a knock on the door,

"Hey, Venus, your dads here to take you to your scan." It was my 20 week scan and I was finally going to find out the gender of my twins.

"Thanks Leo" Leo is Sco, was Scorpio's youngest brother. He was cute.

"Anytime, Ve, and I just have to say I'm sorry." He started to cry. I went and hugged him the best I could with this infernal bump infront of me, while stroking his hair.

"Sshh, Leo, come on, its ok, don't cry. I know it's hit us all hard, but time will make it easier,"

"You promise,"

"I promise." I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and started out the door. As I left I heard the twins say

"She is gonna make a great mother." I smiled at the thought, and headed downstairs to go and see my babies.

When I got to the hospital, I was so excited I was nearly bouncing up and down in my seat. This made me feel guilty, should I really be happy without him here? The answer, yes. He would want me to live on for our children. They lay me down on the bed, and put the gelli stuff on my stomach. I shuddered. I still wasn't used to it. After a while of moving the little scanner around, she finally asked,

"Are you ready to know to gender." I nodded.

"Your having a boy and a girl." I smiled. A boy and a girl. One for me and one for Scorpio. I could now think about names. I went out to my dad, and just whispered,

"Its a boy and a girl," He started jumping round the room, whooping. After a very strict looking nurse can and asked us to leave, we did, and I got dropped of straight at home. I went straight up to bed, and I dreamed up the perfect names for my children. I wrote them down and went back to sleep.

The next day, I walked through school ignoring the whispers that ran through the corridors as normal, trying to find the twins. I told them the news, and when they heard the names, they squealed up and down. I guessed they liked them. They decided to take me to the mall to get a locket, with their names engraved on it, and also so I can put pictures in. We went in and I picked a silver one that had a rose on the front and said "Never Forget Our Love". I had a picture of Scorpio and me put in and I left a space for a picture of my children. I also had their names engraved on the back.

"My children, Nyx Luna Harlily & Apollo Sollar Harlily." I had decided to give them their fathers name, as even though I never got to have it, they should. The names had come to me as if Scorpio had been whispering them in my ear, and I felt if Scorpio liked them, then those should be their names. I couldn't beleive that I would soon be able to hold my babies. My link for all eternity to Scorpio.
