Finding You ~Book 2 of Unexpected~

Chapter 18 Baby Talk

A S T R I D

"Astrid?" Hiccup's voice could be heard beside me, in the dark room. I could feel him hugging me against him protectively, like he was afraid something might come and snatch me anytime.

"Yes?" I reply laying my head on his chest.

"How many babies would you want?" He asks tracing circles on my shoulder.

Why is he asking this?

"Um maybe 2 or 3? How about you?"

"A hundred"

I slapped his shoulder playfully. He chuckles and I giggle afterwards.

"Seriously, Hiccup" I say.

"Like you, 2 or 3 is enough" He replies.

"If it's a boy what would you name him? And if it's a girl?" I ask.

"If it's a boy, I want his name to be Hiccup, and a girl, Hiccup" He jokes again.

"I'll strangle you"

"Alright alright, hm. Stoick for a boy, and Valka or Astrid for a girl" He smiles. I blushed.

"How about another Hiccup Horrendous?" I ask.

"It's alright I guess. How about you? What are your planned names?" He asks.

"If it's a boy, it's gotta either be Hiccup or Doven. If it's a girl, Allison or Astrid?" I suggest.

"Either is beautiful" He replies and turns to me, snuggling into my neck. I could tell he was feeling sleepy since his breathing was long and deep.

"You sleepy?" I say stroking his hair.

"Mmmmm" He moans and hugs me tighter.

"Go to sleep, I'll be here" I kiss his forehead before drifting off to sleep with him.

~•~•~•~

I woke up the next morning only to be hugged by Hiccup protectively like a baby's special stuffed animal, a weapon against fear.

"Hiccup you're suffocating me" I say trying to wake him up. He groans then loosens his grip and I breathed in relief.

"Don't leave babe" He begs in his morning voice.

"I won't" I reply and I turned to watch him sleep. His face was so peaceful, his eyes shut and his eyelashes looking smooth as ever. His lips parted slightly where his breaths entered and exited, and a cute sound was heard from him.

"Quit staring" He says.

"Whatever" I say and rolled away from him, stretching.

"Astrid, cuddle" Hiccup says opening his arms. I laugh and hugged him. He had his chin on my head and played with his collarbone by lightly tracing it.

"What are you doing today?" I ask.

"Learning the basics for being a chief" He replies.

"Oooooooh, look at you. I'm proud" I say kissing his neck.

"And you will be soon the head of the Berk Defenders, nothing can top a woman commanding a whole army, especially if she's my wife" He replies.

I smile. Hiccup is so sweet.

"I can't get over it" He starts.

"Over what?" I ask.

"How you're Astrid Haddock" He replies and I blush. Wow, I haven't even realized that yet. How the words rolled off his tongue gave me shivers, in a good way.

"Right!" I say and got up.

"Where are you going?" He pouts.

"It's morning and I'm hungry Hiccup" I say.

"Aw just come back, I'll cook for you" He says.

I gave in that easily.

"Alright" I say and crawl back to him.

...

Hiccup and I approached the others at our usual spot in the Great Hall.

"Oh great, the couple finally came out of their caves" Tuff says sarcastically.

"Shut your hole Tuff, I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm" I say and sit down beside Ruffnut.

"Alright, babe. I'll be heading to dad, I'll see you later" Hiccup says kissing my head.

"Ergh" Tuff shivers.

"Jealous?" Hiccup smirks.

"Me? Jealous? Never!" Tuff crosses his arms.

"Alright, be nice to my wife" Hiccup says before running out and leaving.

They all turned to me. I felt awkward all if a sudden.

"Guys look, just pretend that this is one of those good o'l days where I punch you until you bleed, please forget the whole marriage thing because I don't want it to be awkward" I say.

"Alright" They agreed. I smiled before feeling something go up somewhere inside. I held my mouth closed the second I felt something unexpectedly come up my throat. I widened my eyes and ran to the nearest trash bin and puked.

What, did I eat something bad? I groaned and felt someone rubbing my back and one wiping my mouth with cloth.

"You okay Astrid? Did you eat something?" Fishlegs asks.

"Y-yeah, maybe" I answered before standing back upright.

"You should get yourself checked" Snot suggests as he makes a ew face at the cloth he was holding.

"Nah, I guess it's just morning sickness. It's no problem" I assure them.

"Oh alright then, why don't we go dragon racing to forget all this?" Snotlout suggests.

"Good idea" I smile.

...

That was NOT a good idea. I ended up landing in the middle of the race just to puke at the sides.

"Astrid what the Odin? This is your second time" Ruff says as she approaches me with the others.

"I guess I wasn't finished earlier guys, don't worry" I say before my eyesight started getting blurry. I struggled to stand straight but my legs felt like jelly.

"Astrid? Woah Astrid!" I heard someone echo and I closed my eyes because the throbbing pain on my head was unbearable. I suddenly fell to my knees and realized it was more comfortable on the ground.

"Someone take her to Gothi" Ruff says and I felt like I was being carried and mounted on something.

"Hold on Astrid" I saw Snotlout's face before finally giving in to the darkness rapidly overpowering me.
