Everything To Me

Chapter 8

Hey, back again. 

So it has been brought to the attention of the HTTYD Fandom that the third comic book "The Fire Tides" will not be released. But I was told by Richard Hamilton ( one of the writers of the comic books) that if enough fans show interest and such, that it could change. 

So if you go to my twitter httydobsessed13 (same username as here ) you will find a bunch of tweets about it and the #releasethefiretides hashtag and there is also a petition that you guys can sign.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a week later and Hiccup had gotten up early to put up a few streamers in different colors and blow up some balloons. He had a nice foil balloon that read 'Happy Birthday' on it with a picture of Hailey's favorite show characters. He had her present wrapped and a card sitting with the balloon at the table. He was currently making some pancakes when there was a knock at the door. Hiccup went over and answered it. 

"Hey." He said letting Astrid in. 

"Hey, how's it going." She asked. 

"Good, she's still sleeping." He told her. She nodded. Astrid placed her gift for Hailey beside Hiccups. 

"It smells really good in here." Astrid said. 

"Pancakes, Hailey loves them." He said flipping one. 

"Can I help with something?" She asked. 

"You wanna get some syrup, butter, whipping cream out?" He asked. Astrid nodded and went to the fridge and got the things Hiccup listed and brought them to the counter. 

"Did you want some fruit cut up?" Astrid asked. Hiccup nodded. 

"Sure, thanks." He said. Astrid went and grabbed some berries and fruit. She found the cutting board and a knife and a bowl and sat down at the table and started to cut them up into pieces. 

"So, is this what you usually do for her birthday?" Astrid asked while they both worked on making breakfast. 

"Yeah, I make pancakes for breakfast, and she opens her present from me.  Then she goes to school, I pick her up early, if I can, we stop by the pet shop, then my mom and Gary come here for supper and we order pizza, and have cake and she opens her presents from them. Just quick, and small. Nothing fancy." Hiccup said. 

"It's still nice, does Hailey enjoy it?" she asked. 

"Yeah, but I know how much she would love to have a party." He told her. He brought the plate of pancakes over to the table with everything else. He set the table with three plates and the utensils they needed. 

Hailey woke up in her bed and smelled pancakes. She sat up and looked towards her door that was open a little bit. She heard Astrid's voice as well as her dads. She grabbed her stuffed dragon and got down from her bed and opened the door. She walked to the kitchen and looked in and saw Astrid laughing about something. Astrid looked at Hailey. 

"There's the birthday girl." Astrid said. Hailey smiled and walked over to her. Astrid gave her a hug. "Happy Birthday Hailey." 

"Thanks, Astrid." Hailey said. She then went over to Hiccup and Hiccup picked her up giving her a hug and kissing her cheek. 

"There's my big girl, you need to stop growing." He told her and tickled her. Hailey giggled. 

"Daddy! I need to grow up!" Hailey said. 

"No, you're not allowed!" Hiccup told his daughter. Astrid smiled watching the two of them. 

"Yes, I'm five now," Hailey said holding up a hand. "A whole hand!" Hiccup chuckled. 

"I know. That's why you need to stop growing." Hiccup said and put her down. Hailey ran to the table and sat in her chair. "We're going to eat first, then you can open your presents. Okay?" 

"Presents?" Hailey asked knowing she usually only had one. 

"Astrid got you something too." Hiccup told her. 

"Really?! Thanks, Astrid!" Hailey said excitedly. 

"You're welcome." Astrid said. 

Hiccup put a pancake on each of their plates and Hailey told Hiccup was she wanted on hers. Hiccup put on the syrup and whip cream and some berries and cut it up for her. 

"Thank you." Hailey said. Hiccup kissed her head and sat down and Astrid and he started putting what they wanted on theirs. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast, Hailey opened her two presents, and then got dressed. The three of them headed out. Astrid was still getting rides with them because her car ended up being in worse shape then they thought and would cost way to much to fix everything. So she currently didn't have a car. So Hiccup brought her to and from work, and they would do their groceries together as well so they only had to make one trip. 

Hiccup dropped Hailey off at school and then they headed to work. At the end of the day, they got Hailey and went back to the apartment. Hiccup checked on the cake in the fridge and made sure it was okay. He found the candles to have them out on the counter and Hailey was in the living room with Astrid. Hailey was playing with the doll Hiccup got her, it was one of the "Berk Dolls" that their local city sold. They usually ran them pretty expensive, but Hiccup managed to get one on a good sale. He knew Hailey had wanted one since she was around three years old. 

Hiccup had ordered the food for supper and they were waiting for Valerie and Gary to come over. They got there soon after and they had pizza together, after a little bit Hiccup brought out Hailey's cake with candles, and she then opened her other two gifts from Valka and Gary. It was now getting late and Hiccup had let Hailey stay up a bit later. 

"Alright Hailey, say goodnight, it's time for bed." Hiccup told her. Hailey got up and said goodnight to Gary, Valerie, and Astrid. 

Hailey ran to her room and got her pajamas on and went to brush her teeth. Hiccup put her to bed and said goodnight and then came back out to the other three adults. 

They chatted for a while and soon Valerie and Gary headed out. Astrid stayed and helped Hiccup clean up. 

Astrid then went to head out back to her apartment. 

"Astrid..." Hiccup said. She looked at him. 

"Yes?" She said. 

"Um, will, would um, would you want to go out with me, sometime...or just dinner here, just the two of us." He said nervously. Astrid stared at him for a moment and smiled a little and nodded. 

"Yeah, sure. I'd love that." She said. Hiccup smiled. "Goodnight." Astrid said. 

"Goodnight." Hiccup said. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Astrid got back into her apartment and locked it. She sighed happily knowing that she was finally going to have an actual date with Hiccup. She went to her bedroom and saw something on her bed. Her smile faded. She walked over and saw a piece of paper and picked it up. 

'Don't think I'm not watching you.' The note said. Astrid all of a sudden felt fear. She looked around, didn't see anything else or anything out of place. But she grabbed her pajamas and some extra clothes and a few other things and went and knocked on Hiccup's door. 

Hiccup opened it and saw her face full of fear. 

"What's wrong?" He asked letting her in. She showed him the note. 

"I can't stay there. I'm too afraid." She said. Hiccup nodded. 

"Yeah, I get that. Stay here, as long as you want too." He told her. She nodded. 

"Thank you." She said. Hiccup smiled and got her settled in his bedroom before they went to bed. 

Someone was down the hall and had seen Astrid go into Hiccup's apartment. They smirked to themselves and walked away.
