Begin Again
A Zodiac fan fic
The war left scars that went far beyond the surface. There are nights where I scream myself awake with only the security of Hysan’s arms keeping me tethered to the universe and no the clutches of the Sumber. 
After the war it took months to be able to be able to bring myself to commune with the stars. There were too many factors at play in the present to focus on what the future held. Factors like life after Hysan’s trail, the betrayal his people had felt by the deception of the youngest guardian in history was snuffed out by the impact Hysan made to not only Libra, but to the entire Zodiac. 
“Libra has always known it’s true guardian far before its people. We, the jury, find Hysan Dax not guilty of treason and recognize his role as it always should have been known, Guardian of Libra and citizen of the Zodiac.” The young woman announced at the jurors station, her deep brown eyes reminding me so much of Ruby. 
Hysan forced his features into a stoicism, but back in the penthouse. He crashed into me, kissing me and spinning me around. When he pulled away I saw the tear tracks on his golden face. He had not been abandoned by his people, his greatest fear since he was twelve years old. There was a celebration held four days after and everyone flew in by the ship full. 
Pandora found me in the crowd and gave me the biggest grin, she shyly grabbed my hand and led me to a more secluded room. 
“I am so glad that Hysan was pardoned and that he has been set as the true guardian. You must be so proud of him.” She told me in her misty voice. I glanced towards the crowd where Brenna had squealed and practically tackled Hysan in a hug. He radiated Helios’ light more than anyone one I have ever known and now with no secrets to hide behind he was absolutely radiant. 
I absentmindedly touched my chest, at the beating heart that thawed out of darkness. Hysan saved me, in more ways than one. My love. My tether to this world. 
“I am.” I said and then looked back at Pandora. She seemed to be fiddling with the ends of her blouse. The fabric hugged her skin a bit tighter than I was used to seeing on her. Still long and muscled there was nothing to deem the blouse was anything but outgrown, but then she cradled her stomach gently. My eyes widened and I searched her face for confirmation and with tears in her radiant violet eyes she laughed and nodded. 
I crashed her into a hug and began to cry as well. Tears of the purest joy. There was going to be new life brought into this world and my dearest friends were expanding their family. 
“I see that Pandora told you the good news.” A musical voice said from behind me. I turned to see Mathias with his hands in his pockets. He had a moon-bright smile beaming from him. Without letting go of Pandora I dragged him into our hug. 
“I am so happy for both of you. I know how much you wanted a family. This child will be blessed by all the guardians of the Zodiac. I will personally see to it.” I said and Mathias laughed and shook his head. 
“I have learned to never doubt you, Holy Mother.” He said and placed a sweet kiss on my cheek. I left the soon to be parents at the buffet and made my way about the entertainment hall. I plucked off a wine flute from a nearby serving tray and leaned against a pillar. 
Soon a pair of arms snaked around my waist and I felt a warm breath tickling my ear. 
“Are you enjoying yourself, my lady?” Hysan purred and kissed my neck. I leaned back into him and brought my hand back to cup the side of his face. 
“I am. Seeing all of our friends again gives me hope. Especially since Pandora is pregnant.” I said and Hysan turned me to check if I was okay. I leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips. He gave me his centaur smile and brought me closer to his chest. 
“That’s wonderful.” He said and then leaned in closer so only I could hear the husky shift in his voice. “And if you ever feel the urge. I would be honored to have a family with you. You just let me know when you want to start trying” He said and I could feel each hair on my body stand on end. I shivered which made Hysan smirk. I made a show of adjusting the collar of his suit. 
“Let’s talk about that after we’re married.” I wink at him and turn around to face the party once again. There is a swarm of bodies dancing around and laughing. Just as they had on Sagittarius, only this wasn’t a celebration in spite of the end of the world. This was a celebration of living. 
“Was that a proposal, my lady?” Hysan asked from behind me. I looked over my shoulder at him and froze. Hysan was kneeling down on one knee. 
“Because you beat me to the punch.” He whispered. His face was not his usually confident radiance. There was nervous excitement in his leaf green eyes. He was so open and vulnerable. I fell to my knees and stared at Hysan’s face and down at the glittering blue pearl surrounded by blue-gray crystals. 
Cancer’s new planetary form.
My eyes began to well with tears and I looked up at Hysan again. He swallowed. 
“I had this made before we went to Ophucius.” He said quietly. I bit my lip and thought of those moments before Ocus and I went into the Psy. Hysan had looked as though he wanted to tell me something, but he knew I needed to be focused. 
“You are my everything, Rhoma Grace. Will you marry me?” He asked and I nodded quickly before wrapping my arms around him. 
“You are my everything, Hysan Dax. I want nothing more, but to be a part of your family.” I said through tears. He squeezed me tighter and I could hear the roars of cheers behind us. With Brenna projecting a hollow banner that read ‘Rho and Hysan forever’. 
“Well, at least we know that this part of the Zodiac approves.” I laughed and Hysan squeezed my hand. 
“The only person’s approval I care about is that of my future wife.” He said and kissed me deeply and the Abisthe rush flooded into my heart to the point of bursting. 
Yes, this was to begin again.

Looking from above
A continuation of a Zodiac Fan Fic.
Thank you so much to everyone that liked and shared my previous story. I binge read and reread the Zodiac series this year and loved it so much that I couldn’t let it go just yet. I obviously do not own this world the Romina Russell has so masterfully created. My heart just feels a little happier thinking of the snippets of after.
...
Sometimes I think I can hear her in the Psy. The need to search the stars for the dangers of tomorrow had proven to be a habit too difficult to break. It became worse when I realized I was pregnant. 
Nishi would have been overly involved in every step of the way. It took every molecule in my body not to name my daughter after her. Hysan had suggested it, but I knew Nishi. She would have scoffed and said that it would be cruel to give my child the expectation to live in the shadow of her mother’s best friend. 
So, we named our daughter Helena Grace Dax. 
There was a heavy tension in the Zodiac for years after the war. Some of the older generations were too comfortable in their old ways. 
When we were thirteen, then twelve types of people and not one Zodiac. 
When there was the Taboo. 
News of Hysan and I getting married, did not come without backlash. Many came from Cancer, some cancreans never forgave me for hesitating the warning signal when Cancer was going to be destroyed. 
They called me a traitorous whore. There was a sting of rejection, but Pandora reminded me that my people were all over the Zodiac. Not just Cancer. She knew first hand with her blue-eyed son of a cancrean. Her family had not been so welcoming to the news either. 
Little Jaius, was precious and the firstborn in the new world. Needless to say, we all spoiled him rotten, much to Mattias’ objection. 
When Helena was born, Jaius found a constant companion. They would be sure to Wave each other each night before bed to recount their days. 
Jaius was the one who coined Helena’s nickname ‘Lena’ partly because he was an excited two-year-old when he met her for the first time. 
I smile when I think of the memory of leaving the medical bay to see my friends gathered around the lobby with an obnoxious assortment of gifts and a beautiful boy racing to hug my legs and peer at Helena’s tiny, squished face. He gazed at her with so much wonder and looked at me with big wide eyes. 
“I love Lena,” He announced and Hysan and Mattias burst out laughing. 
“Give her a few years, Jaius. Besides, Grace women love the thrill of the chase.” He said and swiftly ducked away from my kick. 
At the present moment, I blinked awake not realizing that I had fallen asleep in the reading room. The golden orbs winked in and out of sunlight with the new version of the Capricorn snow globes with memories. 
I struggle to sit up, my swollen abdomen pushing me back into the plush, plum-colored couch. This pregnancy has left me much more exhausted than I was with Helena. I expect it’s a boy for that reason. 
Massaging my lower back, I manage to waddle out to the hall and follow the sound of singing power tools. 
Hysan had been working on a new android. Ms. Trie had informed Hysan and me that for Helena to reach her true potential she would need various tutors to challenge her. Hysan had rolled his eyes but complied. Although, I knew the real reason he caved. 
The taboo was eradicated and people were more accepting. For the most part. Our little family was held at a different standard. Many houses questioned our loyalty to the entire Zodiac. 
Equinox had already been attacked twice. Once after Helena was two months old and the latest last month when it became impossible to hide my pregnancy. 
As I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of sparks dancing in the air. There is a large silver object at the center of the work table. Hysan has his welder’s shield on so only his golden halo of hair. He has his gray coveralls and his muscles arms peek out from above his rubber gloves. I bit my bottom lip, Another side effect this baby has brought out is an unquenchable need for sex, even eight months along. 
Hysan didn’t seem to mind this affliction one bit. The helmet moved in my direction is pulled back just as soon as the welding gun is off. 
There was sweat beading on his forehead and a light shadow of stubble coating his chin and cheeks. The gold in his eyes flickered at my expression. He braced his arms against the workbench. My mind traveled to all the times he had taken me on that very bench. Hysan seemed to read my thoughts because he inclined his head for me to join him. 
I slowly make my way to my husband and place my hands on his shoulders. He circled his arms around my hips and lower back. He took a moment to caress my stomach before moving up to my heavy breasts. My breath hitched and he swallowed the sound while pulling me to his chest. 
“Daddy, I need the 4mm socket wrench.” Called a soft voice from above. Hysan’s hand slid to my lower back and we pulled away. We looked up to see our daughter dangling upside down on the hanger. With her mane of curls tied back in a long, blonde braid and large green goggles dwarfing her face. 
Hysan reached for the tool but didn’t hand it to Helena. 
“Hmm I am not sure 4mm is the right size it seems too small for the hover scooter, Lena”: He said and Helena pushed the goggles to her forehead and narrowed her hazel eyes at her father. She analyzed his debate and managed to look much older than six. 
“It’s the right size even a 5mm would be too big and slip off of the bolts.” She challenged with a smirk, looking just like Hysan. He grinned and handed Helena the tool. 
“Ahh yes. My mistake,” he said and Helena leaned down and kissed Hysan’s cheek before going back to work on her scooter. 
“She is just like you,” I said. Hysan turned to me, still beaming, and shrugged. 
“Maybe just a bit,” He said with a wink, his face full of pride. 
“I have a feeling baby number two is going to follow the same path” I say and rub small circles on my abdomen. 
“A house of prodigies, how will I ever keep up?” I laughed and Hysan hugged me close. 
“Don’t sell yourself short, you are a prodigy with the stars and a wonderful leader and mother. I’d say you give me a great deal to work up to.” He said softly into my hair. 
Suddenly, I jolted upright, nearly knocking my head into Hysan’s chin. The baby managed to give two simultaneous kicks on separate sides of my stomach. 
“What is it?” Hysan asked, His face tightening with concern. Helena swung down from the hanger and scurried to my side. 
“Are you okay, Mama?” She asked her to face a bit pale. I smoothed some of the frizz on the top of her head. 
“Yes, my love. I’m fine. I just think I may have figured out why I am so big this time around” I sighed motioning to my swollen abdomen. They both seem confused and gave mirrored concerned expressions to one another. I shook my head and placed both of their hands on my stomach. 
A moment later the same painful simultaneous kicks thumped against my skin. 
Hysan’s eyes grew wide and he rubbed his mouth and chin. 
“Why is the baby being so rough with you, Mama?” Helena asked, her eyes narrowing at disapproval at my stomach as if she could stare down her rowdy sibling through the womb. Hysan barked out a laugh and ruffled her hair. 
“Well, they are probably kicking around to make room.” He said and kneeled to Helena’s level. 
“Mama has two babies in her belly” Hysan clarified. Helena stared from me to Hysan and then to my stomach. She rubbed her hands on her face, leaving tiny grease marks across her cheeks. 
“Mama, that is too much!” She exclaimed and Hysan doubled over laughing at one point there were tears in my eyes. Helena did not find this amusing. 
“Nothing we can do about it now, Lena” Hysan said and Helena shook her head exasperated. She placed her hands on her tiny hips. 
“Well, Daddy. Now you have to make another android because I simply cannot handle two of them.” She instructed Hysan while wagging her finger at him. He stood and firmly placed his welder’s helmet and saluted the young girl. 
“As you wish, my lady,” he said and Helena beamed at him. She turned and firmly grabbed my hand. 
“Come on, let’s go get some ice cream. You must be exhausted.” She empathized. I nodded and shot Hysan a glance over my shoulder. He lifted his helmet and blew me a kiss. I smiled at him. 
Nishi would have been doubling over with us. I look up to the skylight in the kitchen and make out the faint constellation of Sagittarius in the night sky. Deep in my heart, I know Nishi is looking down on us, watching over in Elysium with Deek. They probably are teasing me without mercy. Helios, they are probably the ones that spoke of me having twins into existence.
