The 5 Year Surprise

Day of Departure

Chapter 7: Day of Departure
Astrid POV:
It was a morning, 2 days after I left Hiccup standing on the street at Fury Diner. I was sitting on my couch, eating breakfast, and watching Greys Anatomy's newest episodes, since I needed to catch up. I had the day off from work, so I stayed home in sweatpants and a messy bun.
"Mommy?" Someone says and I turn around. I saw my brown haired girl, with ratted hair. She was rubbing her eyes, and holding her stuffed bunny. She had just woken up.
"Morning sweet pea." I say and she yawns. She walked over and climbed over my legs. She grabbed my fork and took a piece of my eggs. "Hey!" I exclaim and she laughed. "Mmm! Good!" She exclaims and ate more of my eggs. "Why don't I just make you your own?" I laugh and she immediately nodded for more eggs.
I walked over to the cabinets, and dig through the bottom drawers and found a pan. I took it out and got out the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. I even got out the measuring cup again. I put the ingredients into the bowl, when I felt warm arms around my waist.
"Aww morning." I laugh and my husband kisses my cheek. "Morning babe." He says and sits on the stool. "Making eggs for me? Oh how nice!" Blake says, and I laughed. "It's for your greedy 3-year old on a Saturday morning." I laugh, and his mouth drops. "None for me?" He sighs. "I'm just kidding, I'll make you some!" I laugh and playfully punch his shoulder.
He laughed and I turned to look at Freya, also watching Greys Anatomy. "Babe she's wayyyy to young to be watching that show." Blake nudges me. "Oh stop! It's just a medical procedure part." I laugh and rub my hands through his hair.
I walk back over to the frying pan and flip over the eggs. "Freya honey, get a plate and fork." I say. I then heard a ring coming from me and Blake's room. "I'll get it!" He exclaims and runs back down the hallway, and he ruffled Freyas ratted hair on his way. Freya watched her dad runaway and then she climbed up the stool. She sat her bunny on her lap, and sat down.
"You forgot your plate and fork." I say. "Sorry mommy." She says and starts to climb off the stool. "It's fine baby I've got it." I say and she sits back down. I grab a plate and a fork, and put the finished eggs on her plate. I sit them in front of Freyas ocean blue eyes that she got from me, and she immediately dug in. "You little piggy." I exclaim and comb through her ratty, thick hair.
"Yes, yes sir. I'll be there at 14:30" I hear Blake say, and I immediately knew that it was time. He was being deployed again.
He walked out of the bedroom, with the saddest face, and he sighed. I gave
him the look that meant "I know you have to go." And he ran over and hugged me so tight. We both sighed and I wrapped my arms around him even tighter.
Blake was a Marine, and was deployed at least 3-4 times every year, and was always gone for months.
"Go pack." I sigh and held back my tears, and he walked into our room to pack.

Me and Freya were waiting for Blake at the door, and the he appeared from the hallway, wearing his Marine Corp uniform. He dropped his bags by the door, and knelt down to Freyas height. I crossed my arms, and I sighed, for this is always hard to watch them say goodbye.
"Hey sweetie, daddy's gonna have to leave for awhile." He says and wraps her in a hug. "I know daddy, just please come back." She begins to cry. Blake looked at me with the saddest his hazel eyes have ever been. He rubbed Freyas back and she sniffled. I wiped my tear as it slid down my face. He pulled her away from him and he wiped away her tears. "I always come back baby." He says and she nods. He kissed my baby girl, and then they hugged again. "Mr. Rabbit, you look after her," Blake says and messed with her bunny as Freya laughed.
Blake stood back up and faced me, and I don't usually cry but they came down. I enveloped him in the biggest hug and wrapped my legs around his waist. "Come back to me." I sniff and he rubs my back. "I love you so much." He says and we break apart. He kisses me, and I kissed right back. "I love you too." I say and wipe away my tears. He grabs his bags and opened the door. He turned back around and waved to us, then left our house.
