Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 44

Hi guys!

So this is a short apology before the chapter.

I'm really sorry it took so long my hand just finished healing enough to where I could type and I just returned from a small vacation yesterday.

But I'm free until Sunday and I'll be working on updates!

So without further ado, Lé chapter.

Hiccup's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to hear Stoick crying and feel Astrid poking my side.

"It's your turn." She mumbled, her face half tucked into her pillow.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes, then walked down the hallway. I entered his room, which used to be Mercy's but we built onto the house and she moved downstairs so Astrid and I could be closer to him. I pickedhim up out of his crib and held him in my arms. He started to relax a little bit. I sat down in the chair that we kept in the corner of the room. After about a minute, he was sound asleep. I took a deep reath and before I knew it, I was asleep too.

Astrid's POV

I woke up to the sunshining through the window, lighting up the whole room. I looked over to my side to find and empty half of the bed.

"Hiccup?" I pulled my blankets off and stood up. I went across the hall and into Stoick's room, finding them both asleep in the chair. I smiled, then tip-toed over and gently shook Hiccup's shoulder. "Wake up." I whispered. His eyes popped open.

"What time is it?" He asked with a groggy tone.

"Nine. Come on, you fell asleep in here. I'll get breakfast ready." I said and grabbed Stoick, then began walkeing downstairs. I could hear Hiccup's leg hitting the floor upstairs.

"Hi mom." Mercy said as she walked in.

"Hi sweetie. How did you sleep?"

"Fine actually." She answered as I rubbed my eyes. "You were up most of the night again weren't you?"

"Yes I was. Your father is probably exhausted he fell asleep in that chair upstairs."

"Yikes. That is not a comfortable chair to sleep in." She stated as Hiccup walked down the stairs, a tired expression plastered of his face. "Morning dad."

"Morning Mercy. Did you sleep okay?"

"Yes I did."

"Good." He said and rubbed his eyes.

"I'll get breakfast started." I stated and stood up.

"You don't have to."

"It's fine. Mercy you staying for breakfast?" I asked.

"I'll probably fish something out of the lake in the cove. Which reminds me, dad do you need Toothless today?"

"Yeah a sheep fell through a roof during yesterday's dragon race and Toothless and I are going to help some villagers fix it."

"Okay mom can I borrow Stormfly for today?"

"Yeah but be careful and be back beofre it gets dark."

"The usual routine I know. See you guys later." She said and walked out the door. I looked at Hiccup and he looked at me.

"She needs her own dragon." We both said at the same time.

Mercy's POV

I landed in the cove and layed in the grass. My stomach growled as I stared at the sky. I sat up and looked at the lake.
