Zodiac- learning to live under the stars

Chapter 4- UNO

NOVEMBER
Mini's POV
I winced as I heard gags upstairs.
This had been happening every single day since we met Ophichius.
Usually, I'd assume it was his fault.
But Can is displaying symptoms that are quite normal for...
"Hey Mini," Aquarius walked into the lounge.
"Hey can you get something for Cancer?" I asked.
"Sure. What?"
I whispered something into her ear.
Her mouth started to open and close like a fish.
"I'll go. We need milk anyways. We drink too much tea and coffee in this house,"
"And sag loves milk," I chirped.
She snorted and left the room.
I heard her shut the door and one of the cars started.
Cancer appeared at the doorway, and she looked exhausted. "Can you're ill. Back to bed before anyone else comes home," I sprang to my feet.
"I am the nurse. I am not ill," she glared.
"I know but no one else knows that and I don't want virgo to go all teacher on me!" I pouted.
"Fine," she went back upstairs.
Pisces and Gem strolled over. "Hey! Mini! Ha! We can play UNO now Pi!" Gem joined me on the sofa. Pisces rolled her eyes and started fiddling with her wedding ring. "Can is fine. Come sit," I demanded.
She sat down on a beanbag opposite me and Gem. Gem started handing out cards then put the pile onto the coffee table in between us.

"Take four,"
"Take eight,"
"Take twelve,"
"Take sixteen,"
"Take twenty,"
"Take- oh I have no plus fours left. Drat," Gem groaned. I laughed as she counted twenty cards and added them to her array.
"Sure you can hold them all Gem?" Pisces grinned.
Gem shot her a glare.
"Hey guys I'm home!"
"Leeeeeoooooo!!" Gem drawled as the blonde entered the living room.
"Um hey?" Leo raised an eyebrow at her.
"She's just annoyed cuz she had to pick up twenty cards. want a game?" Pisces asked.
"Well actually... erm... this might be a little rushed seeing as you and Ari got married last month but-,"
"SHOW US THE RING!" Pisces screeched, launching herself over the coffee table and landed in front of Leo who looked incredibly worried for her mental health.
"Yeah! Show us!" I chirped.
He dug into his jacket pocket and opened a small black box. The ring was simple, yet elegant and simply Virgo, it had a square diamond in the center, diamond leaves coming out of it.
"Whoa V will love this," Pi whispered.
"It was my mum's. They found it in her jewelry box the day she died. I found it a couple of years ago," Leo admitted.
Gem patted his shoulder.
"Why haven't you proposed to her yet?" I asked.
"I wanted to see Pi and Ari married first, since they were the first couple, it's kinda sweet. I also wanted to wait until I became an uncle but I guess I want to propose soon," he said slowly.
"You are an uncle. We're aunts," I grinned.
They all shot me a quizzical look.
"Hey I got the test!" Aquarius strolled over then froze when she saw the others.
"Test?" Gem asked, confused.
"Go give it to Cancer. Stay with her. I need to sit these three down," I called out to Aqua.
She nodded and left.
"Can... is pregnant?" Pisces asked quietly.
"I think so. We'll just have to wait and see," I whispered back.
"Well I'm going to go upstairs and plan a proposal, I'm sure I'll hear the results," Leo smirked and followed Aquarius up the stairs.
"Let's continue our game. I need to thrash you both," I said seriously.
"Yeah no," Pisces shook her heads "imma win, definitely,"
