Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 28

Hiccup's POV

I woke up in the morning and noticed Astrid wasn't in bed. I got up and looked downstairs, but she wasn't there either. So I went upstairs to get into my armor and check the village, when I heard her in the bathroom.

"Astrid you okay?" I said and knocked on the door.

"Yeah you can come in Hiccup." She said. I opened the door slowly. "I hate being pregnant." She said as she looked at me. I walked over and sat next to her, and rubbed her back.

"You've gotten through this once and I'm sure you can do it again. You're Astrid, the bravest, strongest, and most beautiful girl in the whole world." I said and kissed her cheek. She smiled and stood up shakily. I helped her walk back into the bedroom, and she layed down.

"I could really go for some breakfast I haven't eaten all day." She said and jumped up, then started pulling me down the stairs and towards the Great Hall.

"Uh Astrid what about Mercy? Isn't she still at the house?"

"No she went out with Ethan, Agnes and Stormfly. She said something about training in the forest." She said and kept pulling me.

"Um alright as long as she has a dragon with her. And you can stop pulling me now."

"Oh my gods I'm sorry I didn't realize I was still doing that. You alright?"

"Yeah shoulder should pop back into place in no time." I said and wiggled my shoulder.

"Well let's just walk to the Great Hall I'm still starving." She said and we walked at a leisurely pace side by side.

Once we stepped inside the Great Hall we noticed only a few Vikings in here, along with the gang sitting at a table. Astrid grabbed more soup and I grabbed a fish, then we walked over and I squeezed between Allysa and Astrid.

"Morning guys." I greeted happily.

"Hey Hiccup." They said.

"We haven't seen you around for a while. What's going on?" Allysa asked curiously. I knew that Astrid told her about our second, but the rest of the gang doesn't know.

"Allysa is there something you're hiding from us?" Snotlout interrogated.

"Please me hiding something? That's less likely then Hiccup actually telling a good lie." She sassed.

"Am I really that bad of a liar?" I asked. Everyone nodded at the same time. "Sounds like I need to work on my skills."

"Okay Astrid what's with the soup you've been eating nothing but soup for a while now." Ruffnut asked. Astrid gazed at me and I nodded my head once, telling her to tell them.

"Well guys I'm-" she started.

"She's pregnant!!" Allysa finished excitedly. She quickly covered her mouth and widened her eyes. "Oops." She said once she took her hands off her mouth.

"Woah wait really?" Ruffnut asked as she held in a girly squeel.

"Yep." Astrid responded.

"Wow congratulations Hiccup and Astrid." Fishlegs said with a smile.

"A toast to the chief and his growing family!" Allysa said loudly as she stood and raised her glass. We all did the same and clanked our glasses together, then took a gulp. Once everyone swallowed and took a breath, we all burst into laughter. "So you guys up for a little training?"

"I'm always up for training. Anything to feed my inner warrior." Snotlout said arrogantly.

"Well let's learn a few techniques." I said.
