Hiccup x Astrid Forever and Always

Chapter27

Hiccup

I snap out of the daze and run inside as everyone even gothie leaves the room. Leaving Astrid and I alone. I sit on the edge of the bed holding her hand. She looks at me worried. "The baby is coming early hic..." I sigh " I know babe....but everything will be okay!" She smiles at me for being a dork. I grin at her. She leaves forward and kisses my cheek and leans back. " I love you" " I love you more Astrid" I grin again but it disappears when her face scrunches up in pain again and gothie ushers me out the door........

------------------------------------------------------
A lot of time passes with Gobber,the twins,snoutlout,fishlegs,mom,our dragons, and I waiting impatiently. We sit outside gothies hut everyone else sits at the edge but toothless and I sit by the door of the hut listening to what's going on inside. Toothless covers his ears as he lays his head oh my lap. I put my hand on his head. " I know bud.....but she'll be okay.....she's tough..." He purrs and closes his eyes.

I let my head hit the wall staring at the clouds in the sky. I sit like this for a while. Listening to Astrid inside or to the conversations or should I say arguments the twins and snotlout have, their feet hanging over the edge. I go back and forth between being wide awake or somewhere close to sleeping. A couple minutes after the twins go into another argument with snotlout I notice something......its silent.

I sit up suddenly and get to my feet quickly as gothie opens the door. She jumps a little seeing me at the door. " sorry gothie" she moves as I run inside. I stop in my tracks as I see Astrid cradling something...or someone my child......

She's making faces at our child and smiling like an idiot. My idiot. I stand shocked. Astrid finally looks at me still smiling. I smile like an idiot too and go to sit on the edge of the bed next to Astrid. Shevleans her head on my shoulder as I put an arm around her shoulders "isn't he cute hic?" He....I have a son...

" he is...and he has your beautiful eyes babe.." She smiles as I kiss her cheek. Mom walks in as the baby laughs while Astrid makes a funny face. " oh its a boy!!" She says as she stands next to me " oh he looks just like you when you were a baby hiccup! He's small like you were oh he precious!!" She smiles and a tear falls down her cheek. She's thinking of dad.... She wipes the tear away "well I'll meet you both at home" she hugs us and slowly leaves with the twins, fishlegs,snotlout, and Gobber who all surrounded the bed,but left when mom did. I smile at Astrid as were left alone "well milady shall we decide a name for our new little haddock?" She smiles. Kissing his head and hands him to me."Well I've kind of had a name in mind..." She looks at our child " I kept thinking of your father and how he shouldn't have died the way he did. He was a great cheif and should be remembered......I was thinking we could name him Stoick.... " I smile looking into her gorgeous eyes......

I kiss his head and look at my child...

"perfect....Stoick it is..."
