Everything To Me

Chapter 15

Hey, back again! 

Hope you all are doing well, I'm so glad about all the great feedback I've been getting on this story, I'm so happy you guys love it!

"Hi, dad. It's Astrid." Astrid said over the phone. 

"Hi, sweetheart." Her dad said. "How are you?"

"Pretty good actually. A lot has happened since the last time I saw you. I know we haven't talked much, I've been trying to stay under the radar." Astrid told her father. 

"I know, it's okay. I'm still trying to deal with your mom and trying to get a handle on Sean issue for you." Mr. Hofferson said. 

"Thanks, I appreciate it. I am with someone else now, he is so sweet, you would love him. I'm pregnant too. So lots going on." Astrid told him. 

"You're expecting?! That's great, sweetie! I'm guessing you need some money help then?" He asked. Astrid sighed. 

"Yeah, and you know I wouldn't ask unless absolutely necessary, but it's because I was in a car accident with my boyfriend's daughter. I'm fine, and she was pretty banged up but she's okay. But we have a lot of bills and some debt, the car is wrecked and we can't afford a new one, but we need one, and Hiccup's daughter needs physical therapy, we have to buy stuff for the baby, possibly find another apartment, because ours is too small, but we both only work at a small coffee shop, and I don't know how we're going to afford all of this." Astrid told her father. 

"It's okay, I will help you, okay? Just give me some time and I'll figure it out." Her dad said. 

"Okay, thank you dad." Astrid said. "I'll try and talk soon again." 

"Alright sweetie, I love you." He said. 

"Love you too." She said and hung up. 

Astrid and her dad were actually pretty close. She was very close to him growing up but her mother had an affair for years and her father finally found out. He left and Astrid rarely saw him. They kept in contact and her father was always willing to help when she needed it. He knew about Sean being abusive and was part of the reason why Astrid was able to get out of the relationship in the first place, and he was trying to track Sean down to get him arrested as well. Astrid was thankful for her dad, even if they didn't live close to each other or saw each other often. 

Astrid came back out to the kitchen and saw Hiccup still at the table. She came and sat with him and put her hand on his. 

"Babe, relax. It's going to be fine. Trust me." Astrid told him. Hiccup smirked at her and kissed her forehead. 

"I'm still allowed to worry a little bit." He said. Astrid shook her head at him. 

"I know you will anyway. But it's going to be fine." She said. 

Astrid didn't want to tell Hiccup that she had asked her dad for money, because she knew he would probably refuse it. 

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

 It had been a couple of weeks and was near the end of the month. Astrid was working on making dinner and Hiccup was on the phone with someone. 

"I need the money by the end of this week, Mr. Haddock. You haven't paid for the medical bills of the hospital yet either." A lady over the phone said. 

"I know, I don't get paid until later this week. I will give you the money when I can!" He said firmly and hung up. He sighed putting his phone on the table. Astrid sighed. She took her out her own phone and sent a text to her dad. 

A few days went by and Hiccup went to the hospital to pay what he could. 

"Just let me pull up the file." The lady at the counter said. Hiccup noticed her face change looking confused. 

"Is something wrong?" Hiccup asked. 

"This says you don't owe anything. It was all paid for, medical bills, the debt from the hospital, all the appointments and physical therapy was covered and is pre-paid for however long Hailey needs it. The balance is at zero." She told him. Hiccup looked at her a little shocked. 

"May I ask how?" He said. 

"There was a donation. A huge one. From H & H Enterprises." She said to Hiccup. 

"Okay, thank you." Hiccup said and left.  

He went back to the house and Hailey was playing with a couple of her dolls on her bed. 

"Hi, daddy!" She said as Hiccup came in. Hiccup came and kissed her head. 

"Hi, Sweetie. Where's mommy?" He asked. 

"I think she's in her bedroom." Hailey said. Hiccup went into their room and Astrid was brushing her hair. 

"Hey, babe." Astrid said. 

"Hey, do you know anyone that gave a donation to the hospital for us?" He asked. Astrid froze. 

"Why?" She asked. 

"I went to pay some of the bill and they said everything has been paid off and covered for future help with Hailey. They said it was from someone named H & H enterprises." Hiccup said 

"Oh." Astrid said starting to braid her hair. 

"Astrid, isn't that your dad's company?" He asked. She sighed. 

"Yes, I called him a couple of weeks ago and told him what was going on. He was more than happy to help. He isn't doing it out of pity. He's always willing to help me out with money if I need it. He's the reason I was able to move here in the first place. I would still be stuck with Sean otherwise. and since you're my boyfriend and Hailey is your daughter, he was more than willing to help. He offered to buy a new car for us too. He even said he would give some money to help with getting the baby stuff." She said and put her arms around Hiccup's neck. 

"Astrid, you know I hate getting money like that." Hiccup said. 

"Hiccup, he is doing it to help. Not because he feels bad. If you don't want to think it was for you, then just tell yourself he did it for his daughter and soon-to-be grandchild. He would like you. I hope you and him can meet someday." She said. Hiccup sighed and shook his head at her a little and smirked. 

"I love you." He said. Astrid smiled and kissed him. 

"I love you too." She said and they kissed again.
