Everything To Me

Chapter 13

Hey guys! 

I got some good responses on Chapter 12 which is awesome! I'm glad you guys liked it!! 

Now, on to Chapter 13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a couple of months and Hiccup and Cami were sitting in a courtroom with their lawyers waiting for the judge. The judge came and sat down and explained that they had looked over evidence and all the information given to them from others. 

"I hereby grant full custody of Hailey Valerie Haddock to Henry Harris Haddock." The judge said. 

Cami was taken aback, she was hoping for at least shared custody. The court was dismissed and Hiccup was thanking his lawyer out in the hallway. Cami came up to him. 

"What did you tell them?" She said. Hiccup looked at her. 

"I didn't tell them anything, they talked to Hailey too, I know how you treat her and she probably told them what you do or did. Let alone, you tried picking her up from school that one time when you had no rights to her to do so. You lost Cami, you brought onto yourself, and you better stay away from her or it won't be good." Hiccup said and left. 

Cami glared as he left before going to talk to her lawyer.

Astrid had got Hailey from school and they were home. Astrid was looking through Hailey's lunch bag and noticed nothing had been eaten. 

"Hailey, come here please!" Astrid called. Hailey showed up by the kitchen door. 

"Yes?" She said. 

"You didn't eat your lunch or snacks?" Astrid asked. 

"I wasn't hungry..." Hailey said. "Am I in trouble?" 

"No, sweetie, I was just wondering. Are you hungry now?" Astrid asked. 

"No, I'm okay." Hailey said. 

"Okay." Astrid said. Hailey went back to her room and put her hand on her tummy that was growling. 

"Shhh, tummy... you're too big. No food." Hailey told herself. Toothless pushed his ball towards Hailey and she smiled and picked it up to play with him. Hiccup came home and closed the door. 

"Hey, I'm back." He said. 

"Hey babe, how'd it go?" Astrid asked. Hiccup came into the kitchen and showed her the papers. 

"Full custody, Cami wasn't very happy about it though." He said kissing Astrid's cheek. 

"Of course she wasn't. Hailey didn't eat any of her lunch or snacks today." Astrid said. 

"Why?" Hiccup asked loosening his tie. 

"I don't know, she said she wasn't hungry when I asked." Astrid told him. 

Hiccup nodded and headed to their room to change. He saw Hailey playing with Toothless in her bedroom and smiled at the two. Hiccup changed into jeans and a t-shirt and came back to the kitchen. 

"These lawyer bills are gonna have to get paid off somehow." He said. 

"How much?" Astrid asked grabbing the juice from the fridge. 

"A lot, a good few thousand dollars if not more." He said. "I'll figure it out." 

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

It had been a few days and Astrid noticed Hailey hadn't eaten her lunch any of the days that week, and some days she wasn't eating snacks either. She thought about it and realized Hailey had been picking at her dinners and breakfast meals and barely eating. 

"Hiccup, her lunch is full again. It's been like this all week, and now that I think about it she's barely touched breakfast or dinner too." Astrid said. Hiccup had been filling something out at the table and got up to walk over and saw the full lunch pail. 

"Hailey!" Hiccup called. Hailey came to the kitchen door. 

"Yes, daddy?" She said. 

"You didn't eat your lunch again. You feeling okay?" He asked. She nodded. 

"I'm just not hungry." Hailey said. Hiccup had a feeling something else was going on but didn't want to push it. 

This kept going for a while, it had been another week, and Hiccup noticed Hailey didn't have as much energy and had lost weight. Hiccup and Astrid were in the kitchen talking when Hailey came in. 

"Can I go to a gym?" Hailey asked. Hiccup and Astrid looked at her a little surprised. 

"Why, sweetie?" Astrid asked. 

"So I can be skinny, and beautiful, like all the other girls." Hailey said. Astrid looked at Hiccup as they both realized what was happening. Astrid went over to Hailey and knelt down to her. 

"Do the other girls tell you that?" Astrid asked. Hailey nodded. 

"They tell me I'm fat, and my tummy is too big and that I shouldn't eat and I should go to a gym and be skinny." Hailey said. Astrid looked over her shoulder at Hiccup and then back at Hailey. 

"Sweetie, listen to me. You are perfect, and beautiful, just how you are. Your daddy and I don't want you to change at all. We love you so much, you can't listen to the girls in your class, okay? What they say, all those mean things, that's not okay, you don't have to believe them. You need to eat your lunch and other meals, okay? You could get very sick if you don't, and we don't want you to get sick. We love you too much." Astrid told her. Hailey nodded and hugged her. 

"I'm sorry, mommy." Hailey said. Astrid held her close. 

"It's okay sweetie, you didn't know." Astrid told her. 

"I love you." Hailey said. 

"I love you too." Astrid said kissing her head. "Now go see your daddy." Astrid whispered to her. Hailey smiled a little and ran over to Hiccup and climbed into his lap and hugged him, Hiccup hugged her back. 

"What do you want for supper?" Hiccup asked. 

"Pizza!" Hailey said. Hiccup smirked. 

"Alright." He said and kissed her cheek. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a couple of weeks and Astrid was driving with Hailey in the car. Astrid was going through a green light when all of a sudden the car was hit and slammed into a pole. Astrid's head hit the steering wheel and she groaned a little and looked in the rearview mirror seeing Hailey unconscious. She tried to move but her door had been pushed in slightly. 

Ambulances and fire trucks and police showed up, some fireman unjammed Astrid's door and paramedics helped her out to check her over. 

"I'm fine." She said. "Where's Hailey?" 

"She's being taken to the hospital in an ambulance, she was injured. But you need to let us take care of you." A paramedic told her. Astrid was beyond worried about Hailey now. She sat on a gurney and let the paramedics clean her cut on her head. 

"I'm pregnant." Astrid told them. 

"Okay, we'll get you to the hospital and have them look at you, okay?" the paramedic told her. Astrid nodded. 

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

Hiccup got a phone call while at work and grabbed his stuff and left to go to the hospital. Hailey was in surgery and they brought Hiccup to Astrid who was getting an ultrasound done to check on the baby. Hiccup came in and kissed her head. 

"Hey, how are you?" He asked. 

"I'm okay." Astrid asked. Hiccup could tell she was a little shaken up and worried. They could hear the baby's heart going and sighed of relief. 

"She's perfectly fine." The nurse said. 

"She?" Astrid asked. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you not want to know?" The nurse said. 

"No, it's fine." Astrid said. She looked at Hiccup. "It's a girl." Hiccup smiled and kissed her forehead. 

"I'm gonna be even more outnumbered." He said. Astrid smirked and chuckled. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that day, they were both sitting beside a hospital bed on the children's ICU floor. Hailey laid on the bed with an oxygen tube in, a heart monitor, an IV, and some other wires. She was sleeping. Hailey's had a couple of casts and some bandages due to some deep cuts. They were told it could take some time for her to wake up. 

Astrid couldn't help but blame herself. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go!! 

Also, just a note, I know you guys love this story and I love writing it. But I can't promise days that I will update. I'm a college student and have classes and assignments which will sometimes take over writing a fanfiction. It sucks, but that's the way it is. 

I also have stuff going on in my life too, I'm dealing with some health issues right now that I'm trying to figure out. 

The best I can tell you is you can expect at least one chapter a week - maybe two. But I can't promise the days they will be posted. I write when I can, and chapters are done when they're done. 

Thanks!
