Zodiac- learning to live under the stars

Chapter 11- Hey Mini...

MARCH
Capricorn's POV
"Last card, ready guys?" Mini pulled off the last dobble card.
Her, Gem, Aqua and Lib studied the card for a second before-
"Ha! Skull!" Libra took the card.
"You win. Again," Aqua sighed.
I sniggered as Scorpio came and sat down next to me.
"Just ask her out," he grumbled.
"Wha- who?" I became very flustered.
"Mini. Just get it over and done with, she likes you, you like her," he explained.
"When's Can's appointment?" I changed the subject.
"Shoot! In ten minutes. Mini, come on!" He stood back up.
"It's time?" Mini stood up. He nodded and they ran out the lounge.
"Come play with us Cap," Gem patted Mini's vacated seat.
"I'm good. Leo and Taur promised me a game," I left the lounge and walked upstairs to Taurus' room.

"What road? Rainbow road, Wario Stadium, Peach Gardens or Bowser's castle?" Leo asked.
"Wario Stadium," me and Taur said in unison.
"Cool. What characters do you want? I'm having Princess Peach," Leo clicked the character.
"Wario," I said.
"Toad," Taur chose the character.

"Dinners ready!" Virgo shouted.
"Hey your wife's home and you didn't notice," I nudged Leo.
"She didn't come up to say hi," he muttered but tore downstairs anyway.
Me and Taur followed him at a leisurely pace.
"Hey Mini... er.. how was the appointment?" I scratched my neck as we bumped into her on the way to the dining room.
"It was interesting," she grinned.
"Cool, cool," I flushed.
"Hey, are you okay?" She stopped to look at me, concern etched on her face.
Taur left us and gave me a knowing smirk.
"I was just wondering... erm.. if you wanted to get coffee sometime?" I rushed.
She grinned widely. "I'd love that. It's a date," she went on her tip toes and kissed my cheek before following Taurus into the dining room.

"Ask her out yet?" Scorp nudged me.
"We're going on a coffee date somewhen," I smiled proudly.
"Go you. You grew a backbone then," he chuckled.
I rolled my eyes.
"How was your day then?" I asked.
"It was great. We found out the gender," Scorp answered.
"Great. What is it?" I asked impatiently.
He winked at me. "You'll see," he smirked.
I groaned.

A week later

"So can we know the gender yet?" Sagittarius asked.
I looked up from my book.
"Please? I need to know what gender they are so I can spoil them rotten!" Libra chirped.
"I don't think I want him to be spoiled rotten," Cancer looked alarmed.
It took a few minutes for us all to process that.
"It's a boy?" Pisces grinned.
"He's a boy," cancer laughed.
