Can you do one where Astrid is pregnant but there are problems in the pregnancy)

     Hiccup sat outside Gothi's, his head in his hands and his heart heavy. Astrid had been having issues with her second pregnancy. Her appetite had diminished and she was terribly weak. Hiccup worried for her safety and the babe she carried. Now he sat outside Gothi's hut while Astrid was inside fighting for her life and the baby's.
     Earlier that day Astrid had collapsed in the plaza. Hiccup had helped her up, but carried her to the newly built Great Hall, as she was convinced it was simply lack of nutrients. Inside the Great Hall she had managed to eat a small portion of bread and yak. Zephyr had been jabbering all day on how Uncle Fishlegs had been telling her stories at his house. Stories of the dragons and especially Fishmeat, Meatlug's darling baby Gronckle. Astrid had suddenly fainted and Hiccup rushed to get her to Gothi's in time. Gothi had taken Astrid and ushered Hiccup out.
     "Daddy?" A small voice pipped up.
     Hiccup looked up to see Valka carrying Zephyr up the stairs on her hip. Valka sat the young girl down and let her run into her father's arms. Valka rubbed her side as her age began catching up to her. That and Zephyr was almost to big for her to carry around anymore. Hiccup quickly wiped his eyes and picked her up.
     "Hey, what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked in a light tone.
     "What's wrong with Mama?" Zephyr asked with wide blue eyes.
     Hiccup smiled as her eyes were the same as Astrid's. Zephyr pulled on his beard slightly and cuddled into his chest.
     "Well, your mother is having some trouble with your little brother," Hiccup explained gently.
     Zephyr narrowed her eyes and looked at Hiccup. "Mama says that I'm gonna have a baby sister."
     Hiccup chuckled as Zephyr crossed her little arms and stuck out her lower lip. "Eh, she's probably right."
     Zephyr, happy with that response, jumped off and ran off. Valka took a seat on the edge of the bench next to Hiccup. She simply folded her hands in her lap and watched the sunset. Hiccup's eyes closed and he bowed his head. His fur cloak billowed behind him. Valka reached out an arm, but retracted it. She instead placed a hand on his knee.
     "I'm sure the babe just wants to make an early arrival," Valka assured. "Like father, like son."
     "You think it's a boy too?" Hiccup looked at his mother in shock. "I thought you were behind the whole 'mother's intuition'."
     "Oh I am," Valka said quickly. "But your father knew from the moment that you were going to be the strongest of them all. I'm certain your son will be the same."
     "You really think he's still alive?" Hiccup asked quietly. "I mean, I want him to be, but all the complications."
     "Everyone's pregnancy is different," Valka said. "Astrid's mother had no difficulty. Her's was slick as an axe's blade. Astrid came on time and perfectly healthy. But you, oh ho, you gave your father and I quite a scare. I had the same trouble with eating enough for both of us. You came so early and were so tiny, but you grew to become more than I could've ever dreamed."
     "Astrid has been through so much," Hiccup said softly.
     "What are you talking abou-" Valka broke off, her face twisting into understanding. "She would have had a third sometime."
     "We never told anyone, Astrid didn't want anyone to worry," Hiccup admitted. "But I saw how much it broke her. She kept a brave face on, but I know her."
     Valka pulled Hiccup's head into her chest and cradled the back of his head. "Whatever happens, I know you two will work together and figure it out."
     Hiccup's tears ran down his face. Valka gently rocked him and she relished in this moment. After years of not having her son, she was so happy to feel like his mother. If only it were in better circumstances. Suddenly there was the small creak of a door. Hiccup and Valka jumped up, turning around to see Gothi standing there. Hiccup rushed forward and looked at her.
     Valka twisted her head to read as Gothi began scribbling symbols in the sand. Valka's face broke into a smile and tears began pressing the backs of her eyes. "They're okay. I'm going to get Zephyr."
     Hiccup rushed in as his mother rushed off. Hiccup stopped short when he saw Astrid sitting up with a blanket covering her legs. She looked up at Hiccup with a soft smile. Her face was pale, but her cheeks were slowly regaining their usual blushed tinge. Hiccup walked forward slowly and looked down at the baby wrapped in a green wool blanket. Astrid was in an old white dress that was coming off her shoulder, but she smiled down at the life she and Hiccup had created.
     "You're okay," Hiccup breathed. "You're both okay."
     He sat next to her and Astrid shifted so she was close to his chest. Hiccup pressed a kiss to the side of her head and smiled at the new baby boy they had.
     "Nuffink Stoick Haddock," Hiccup whispered the name that they had chosen. "Welcome to Berk."
     Zephyr paddled in and peeked over her mother's arm. Hiccup picked her up and stood her on the bad for a better veiw of her brother. She wrinkled her nose and huffed. She sat down sullenly and held her small Night Fury plush close to her.
     "I wanted a sister." She pouted.
     Valka walked in and Astrid handed her the newest member. "Oh but brother's are fun," Valka insisted.
     Zephyr climbed into Astrid's lap. "No they aren't. Their boys."
     Hiccup and Astrid bit back laughter as they knew their daughter had clearly been hanging out with Gruntlout and Yaklegs. Valka smiled and looked back at her new grandson. Hiccup smiled, knowing that Nuffink would grow on Zephyr. He cradled Astrid's head close to his and kissed her forehead.

     Hiccup sat with Nuffink. He watched as the one-year-old squirmed to get in a comfortable position. Hiccup pulled out the old Book of Dragons. Nuffink squealed and reached for the leather cover. Hiccup began to open the book, but stopped when he heard the patter of more little feet.
     "Don't start without us," Astrid said.
     Zephyr waited until her mother was nestled next to Hiccup before climbing onto Astrid's lap. Zephyr grinned and bopped Nuffink's nose. He gurgled and laughed, Zephyr joining him. Hiccup and Astrid sent each other looks of gladness as Zephyr had found out that little brothers can be fun. Astrid readjusted her position and looked at him expectantly.
     Hiccup looked at his kids and smiled. "There were dragons when I was a boy."

STORYTIME:
So when my best friend CelestialPancakes(Celest) went to see HTTYD 3, we walked into the theater. We were a bit early, but neither of us checked out watches to realize that we were actually like 45 min early. So we walked in and I was so confused because I saw Stormfly. And I was like, "Why are they showing previews of the movie at the movie?"
Then Celest grabs my arm and whisper yells, "IT'S THE END!!"
I don't think I've ever left a movie so fast. Luckily we only made it through the door and we just turned and ran out fo the theater. It was fun!
Okay! Story over!
Byeeeee!
