Dad raised his hand and....






















Pulled me into him hugging me with both hands.
"I was wondering when I was gonna have grandchildren!" He said happily.
"You...were?" I asked unsurely.
"Thor oh mighty! How old are they?"
"An hour old."
"Only an hour? You ok lass?" He asked Astrid.

She nodded. She still looked a little tired, but alot better.
"Dad...can't...breath..."
"Sorry son."

He let go and stabled me.
"Son, why's Viggo here?"
"Uh... Well...h-h-heres the thing..."
"You might want to sit down, Chief." Astrid said.
"First let me say, we would've told you Astrid was pregnant, but we didn't know until the third month and she started showing three days later so she wasn't aloud to fly, Viggo captured her during her eighth month of pregnancy towards the end. Mala, Throk, a few warriors-"  I started.
"Our best warriors, we brought them here to." Mala spoke.
"And... L-lucinda..." Astrid spoke softly.

A tear fell down Astrid, Mala Throk and everyone from the wings cheek.
"Rescued her and took her to the wing. Viggo and his men attacked, killed Lucinda, Viggo found away to transform into me, took Astrid and she was saved again by the wingmadiens, she was then put in danger by Johan in the offical nesting grounds where they lay eggs, she saved a young lady and herself, and when we got home, Mala, Throk and everyone were here we didn't listen when they told us to go, hunters surrounded us, Astrid went into labor, Viggo took the kids and dropped them into the volcano-"
"WHAT?!?" Astrid screamed suddenly.
"Ash their fine, Dauger saved them."
She calmed down a bit and looked at our children.
"And we brought them back."

Stoick sat there, looking at me.
"Are all of you alright?" He asked.
Everyone nodded.

I sat next to Astrid, Dad turned to look at us.
"Son...Astrid...m-may i-?" He asked unable to finish.

Astrid smiled. I took August from her and handed him to Dad.

He took him slowly, holding his breath. He relaxed and smiled, tears falling.
"What's the name of this one?"
"His name is August, and this is his big sister, Robin."
"Robin? Your parents wanted to name you that."
"Really?"
"Yep. I took one look at you and said you wouldn't look like a Robin and said you'd look more like an Astrid. So I said 'Trust me, she'll be great full, ok, Astrid it is!"" Gobber said.
"Like you did with the girl you named Magnus?" I asked.

He nodded.
"Let's say I was right about Astrid only." Gobber Laughed.
"Aye, I was busy with helping your mother with you. You almost died on your first week." Dad said.
"I...what?"

Astrid went stiff.
"Aye, don't know what you had. But as you can tell, you survived."
"I...I didn't know that." I said slowly.
"No matter." He said gazing down at August.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around Astrid. She laid her head on my chest and sighed.

She kissed Robin's head who had promptly fallen asleep.
"Mommy will never let anything happen to you two agian."
"Nither will Daddy." I said.
"None of us will." Dad said.

Astrid and I looked up and smiled.
"Thanks Chief." Astrid smiled.
