Context: South was paralysed from the waist down when she fell down the stairs at a mall.

Hiccup is 19, south is 16

Souths p.o.v

I lay miserably on my back, staring up at the ceiling, which is basically all I can do now. I wish I could move and run, but I can't. Not anymore. I sigh and look over at the window instead. I was only allowed home yesterday, and it's been truly miserable. Hiccup couldn't visit me in the hospital because he isn't family. I texted and called him, but I miss him so much. My mom walks in
"Honey, do you need anything?"
"A tall glass of cold water and someone to knock me out" I grumble. She smiles sympathetically at me
"OhX sweetie. I'll get you some water" she leaves, and I groan. I reach over and press the button to lever my bed up so I'm in a somewhat sitting position.
"Mom?" I ask when she comes back in with some toast and water
"What's up?"
"Can hiccup come over? I haven't seen him in weeks" she sighs
"Honey, he isn't good. He's too old" I groan a bit
"Mom, I'm sixteen. It's legal. Anyway, he's only 3 years older than me. Dads 16 years older than you" I point out. It is the truth, they married when my mom was 20 and my dad was 36
"That's different-"
"No it's not." She just walks or. I eat my toast and listen to my mom talking to my dad about me
"He's gonna corrupt her! I just know it"
"No, he isn't. Master hiccup is a good boy. It doesn't matter that he's a little older than her. He loves her, and that's what matters"
"No he doesn't!" They go on like this for a while. I hear the front door slam, then my dad talking again, though I can't hear what he's saying. I lay there for a long time, until there is a quiet knock on the door
"Come in" I say dejectedly. The door opens, but I don't bother lifting my head to look
"You look miserable" I hear a soft nasally voice say. I gasp
"Hiccup?"
"Yep" I reach over and lift my bed. Sure enough, he's stood near the door, grinning at me
"Are you gonna come over here and kiss me or are you gonna make me have to come over there?" I say. He tuts and comes forward. Sealing his lips on mine. I missed his soft lips. He pulls back
"Shuffle over" he says. I glare jokingly
"Real funny, you are"
"Crap, Sorry. I forgot"
"That's better than everyone else constantly reminding me of it" I laugh a little. He gently moves me over then slides into led next to him. I manage to move enough to lay my head on his shoulder.
"I missed you" he whispers into the dark room
"I missed you too. Hiccup... why are you still here?"
"Because I want to be"
"But... I'm only gonna hold you back. I mean, we can't have sex anymore, and I require a lot of help to do almost anything"
"You really think I care about sex? Sure, having sex is great and all, but I love you. I know your mom hates me, and I don't blame her, but I want to look after you." I look up at him
"Hiccup... I don't want you to tie yourself down. I know we spoke about getting married, and I want that more than anything, but I can't fucking do anything anymore" he looks at me.
"I don't care. I want you. That's it. No matter what baggage that comes with."
"Are you sure?"
"I've never been so sure of anything"

Two years later.

Life has turned out okay. I moved in with hiccup a few weeks ago. He installed a stairlift and Ramps. All I ever need help with anymore is reaching things. We got quite the nice surprise to discover that in fact, we could still have sex, and I would still feel the pleasure, just not as much. I'm sat in the bathroom, clutching a positive pregnancy test and wondering what the hell im supposed to do. I wheel into the bedroom, where hiccup is sat in bed, drawing.
"What are you drawing?" I ask him. He turns his sketchbook around. It's me in my wheelchair and him. Ion my lap is a young girl
"You want to have kids?" I ask him curiously
"Yeah. I've always wanted kids"
"What would you sag if I told you I was pregnant" he tilts his head at me
"I assume that's hypothetical" I shake my head and hand him the test. He gasps.
"Oh my god... you're pregnant?" I blush a little
"Yeah..."
"Oh my god!" He yells delightedly. He stands up and gently picks me up, hugging me against his chest. He lays me down on the bed and kisses me. I kiss him back with everything I have.
"I love you" He says breathlessly after we pull away
"I love you too"

15 years later

I'm sat reading a book in the living room. Of course, I never could walk again, nor have I gained any movement. I have to do physio every day, which hiccup helps me with. I have a nurse come over once a month just to check my muscles are doing good and whatnot.
"Hey mom" ash greets when he walks in. God gave us a blessing with a set of twins. Ash and celise.
"Hey baby. You okay?"
"Yeah. Celise is driving me nuts"
"What's she doing?"
"Talking with friend. 'Oh my god, that guy is sooo hot'" he mocks. I chuckle.
"I don't know what that's like. I was only ever with your father."
"Did you get together before or after the paralysis?" He asks me curiously. I smile
"Oh, before. I was 15 and he was 18. My mom flipped and called the police."
"Damn." I laugh at his expression
"I was mentioned?" Hiccup pokes his head around the door
"Nosy whatsit." He chuckles and comes in, follows soon by celise. Celise plops straight into my lap. I don't feel the weight, of course.
"Hello" I say to her. She grins at me
"Hello momma" I kiss her shoulder, it being the only thing at mouth level.
"Celise." Ash says sternly
"What?"
"You can't sit on moms lap. You might hurt her" I chuckle at my overprotective son
"It's okay, bud. She can sit in my lap if she wants. It's my stomach you can't sit on, though your dad doesn't listen when I tell him that" I laugh. Hiccup grins at me
"Really?"
"Yep. I've peed on him so many times because he keeps sitting on me" I laugh.
"That's gross" celise climbs off my lap and onto hiccup's.
"It's his own damn fault"
"I'm still here, you know" I glare at him.
"Obviously, He can't sit on me anymore" I hint
"And why would that be?"
"You don't sit on pregnant women, hicc. You can kill the baby" hiccup freezes
"You're..."
"Yep." Hiccup lets out a happy laugh and moves celise off his lap and scoops me out of my chair, twirling me around. Obviously, my catheter protests by wrapping the tube around his legs causing him to fall. I land on top of him with an oof
"Mom!" Ash yelps, picking me up and setting my back in my chair
"Dad, you idiot! Mom, are you okay?"
"Don't call me an idiot, son. It's rude" hiccup says, disgruntled. They sometimes don't get along well because ash is really protective of me and thinks that hiccup isn't being careful enough.
"Ash, don't be rude to him. He's just happy" I chuckle. Ash blushes a little
"Sorry dad"
"Ah, it's fine. Just remember that I've been looking after your mother for years. I know how much I can throw her about"
"Throw her and I throw you" he grumbles
"Oh yeah? You Gonna throw me, ash? C'mon the " hiccup assumes a boxing position. Ash soon joins and they wrestle. They're not actually fighting, just messing about. I laugh as I watch them. What a bunch of loons.
