Zodiac- learning to live under the stars

Chapter 15- helper

JUNE
Taurus' POV
Aries seemed on edge. "Ari," I poked him.
He jumped.
"Taur- oh hey," he said.
"What's bothering you?" I asked.
"Oh- it's- it's nothing," he seemed to deflate.
"I'm not an idiot, something's bothering you. Is it the reason you were awake earlier then Cap?"
"No," he lied.
"You're a terrible liar," I said.
"Fine I had a nightmare about the night my family died," he sighed.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I patted his shoulder.
He shrugged. "Everyone seems to be on edge, I mean Can is due in July and Scorp isn't here, and Pi is sick as well,"
"Pi is sick?" I raised an eyebrow. This was the first I was hearing about this.
"She's just throwing up a lot. It's disgusting," he shuddered.
I nodded slowly.
"I'll talk to her," I stood up and left Aries in the lounge.

Pisces was sick, she was sat with her head against her bathroom door with a hot water bottle resting on her tummy.
"I'm guessing you're on your period," I sat down next to her.
She shook her head.
"So congratulations then," I nudged her.
"Thanks," she muttered.
"If you feel like hell is freezing over, go talk to Can. She's eight months pregnant remember?" I said.
"Yeah. Help me up," she put out a hand.
I stood up and lifted her too her feet.
"Let's go tell Aries first," I said.
She mumbled incoherently.

Aries was still in the lounge when we walked downstairs, he had his head in his hands and was mumbling to himself.
"Aries?" Pisces has composed herself and ran over to her husband.
"I'll leave you guys," I said, moving upstairs to where I knew Gem and Mini were gaming or Gem was fussing over Mini about her date tonight. Probably both knowing the twins.

"Taurus! You can help us! You're great with fashion!" Gem said when I knocked on her door. She pulled (yanked) me into the room where Mini had her arms folded across her chest and was scowling.
"Be careful the wind might change," I teased. She stuck her tongue out at me.
"Okay, so, dresses I don't know! Dresses or jeans?" Gem babbled.
"Jeans," I said. "And lilac shirt," I added.
"Great. Okay, thank you Taurus," Gem grinned widely, making Mini shrink in slight fear of her sister.
So what d'ya know, I'm a helper today!
