It snowed a lot in the last 3 weeks. The snow was nearly up to my knees. The house was quiet after an hour. Hiccup and I did our own things after a bit. I spent some time cleaning and then spent some time with Asher. I see the puppy, that I named Smoky, running around trying to get Toothless to play with him. I only laugh then look around. I haven't seen Hiccup in a while.

Toothless only stood up, and walked away, leaving the pup alone. I only laugh. Hiccup's father asked me where he was a while ago. I'm hoping he fell asleep or is working on something.

I pick up the puppy, then walk down the hall. Surprisingly, I walk into Hiccup, who was looking at his phone. "Oh, uh. Sorry." I say to him.

"Hmm? It's cool. I didn't see you there.." he said. I turn around as we start walking to the living room.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask.

"Texting Rapunzel." He said.

"Oh. Cool, what's up with her?"

"Her and Merida are coming over tomorrow night." He said.

"Why?"

"Movie Night. We do one every year."

"That sounds cool."

As we enter the living room, I heard Hiccup's father call him. Hiccup stopped, putting his phone in his pocket, then narrowed his eyes. "... Great! In the Living Room!"

I set the puppy down as his father came in, coming to him. "You, my boy, have to stop disappearing at random times. It's not right." He said hugging Hiccup tightly, forgetting how frail Hiccup had become.

"Dad... I can't... Breathe."

"Oh, right sorry." He let go of Hiccup, letting him breathe.

"How're ya feeling?" His father asked.

"Dad--" Hiccup started with a look.

"Oh. Sorry." He then turned back to Hiccup. "How're you feeling?" He asked.

"Fine."

"Do you feel woozy or, like your going to pass out?" Hiccup only shook his head. His father only looked at him. "Why do I feel, like I can't trust you with this?" He asked.

"Dunno, but you should trust me, I'm your son."

His father didn't reply. He just ruffled his son's hair then went on his way. "Just start taking it easy, Hiccup. With the weather getting colder, I don't need you falling ill... Well, more than you already are." He said before leaving.

"I'll be fine," Hiccup called back before fixing his hair. "He's really got to stop doing that," I heard Hiccup mutter, as he continued to expertly part his hair how he had it. After that, he looked at his phone. "I'm going to crash." He told me quietly.

I then realize the time. It's like ten to eleven. "Yeah, so will I." Hiccup looked at me. He took a few steps. "Hiccup?" I call trying not to laugh.

He turned to me. "Yeah, Els?"

"Will you carry me?" I ask him giving him Puppy Dog Eyes. He smirked then came to me. Without a warning, he scooped me up bridal style then look to me. "Only cause I love you," he said to me.

He thought for a moment. "And that Puppy Dog Eyes always get me." He added before going to the stairs.

Before he could even make it halfway, his father stopped him. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked him.

"Carrying Elsa to bed." He said.

His father didn't look amused. "No funny business, Hiccup."

"I wasn't planning on it." He took one step then stopped.

"Take it easy, son. I don't need you two getting hurt." His father muttered walking away.

"I'm fine." He told himself then went up the stairs. He stopped at my door then, set me down. "This is as far as I'm going." He said.

"Why?"

" 'Cause dad said no funny business." He replied.

I punch him lightly. "Good night."

He goes to his room then looked at me. "Night." He smirked before closing his door.

The next night was busy. Hiccup was busy, I was busy. Merida and Punz were here. For the movie night. Hiccup was in the kitchen, making himself something to eat, as Punz and Merida fought over what movie to watch.

Punz said she wanted to watch If I Stay, which I watched a million times during my pregnancy. And Merida was up for some action movie that I didn't know the name of. I asked Hiccup about this, and he said they always fight over the movie, because their so opposite. It was snowing like crazy. I haven't seen this much snow in a while.

I really hope we don't get snowed in. I walk into the living room to see the two of them still arguing. "Uh, if I were you, I wouldn't be fighting over a movie," I say going to them.

"Well, Punzie wants to watch some romantic movie," Merida grumbled.

"And she wants to watch something violent." Rap complained.

I sigh madly, as Hiccup walked into the room. "Hiccup!" They both yell making him jump

He stood there with half a sandwich, looking sadly confused. After a minute, he got the point then sighed. "Okay. This happens all the time." He started. "So this time, Elsa gets to pick," he added, finishing off his sandwich. He must've been hungry. That was his fourth sandwich today.

I guess starvation is a symptom. Hiccup sighed again, as he went into the kitchen again. I knew his father wanted to talk about something. The girls and I walk to the front foyer as Hiccup and his dad did. A strong gust of wind, outside blew, when suddenly the power went out. Hiccup blinked in slight confusion.

"Great." He finally said. "Just what I need. The power to go out."

"Can't you turn it back on?" Punz asked.

"The powers out, Punz. I can't turn it back on." He said.

"But your generator can." His dad told him.

"My... What?"

"That little generator you made last year."

Hiccup only sighed. "Okay, fine. Elsa lets go." I follow him down the stairs, as do the dogs. Hiccup stopped at the bottom, grabbing a flashlight, turning it on. He flashed it at me, so I could see. "You good?" He asked, taking my hand.

"Yeah."

He looked around then shivered. "I hate it down here. I always have." He said before walking. We finally find the control panel. "Stay here," he said leaving me.

I stood still, not moving in the dark. Thankfully I have the Dogs, or I would be freaking out. I hate the dark. A few minutes later, Hiccup returned carrying something. He set it down then gave me the flashlight. I flash the light down to see a small generator. Did he build that? "Don't move," he ordered me, as he bit his bottom lip, trying to set this thing up.

After a few more minutes, the lights suddenly came back on. Hiccup looked almost shocked. "Huh, it actually works." He stood up, taking the flashlight, turning it on. "Let's go." He said as we went to the stairs.

As we got upstairs, his father suddenly scooped him up, with a hug. "I always knew you had some talent, kid."

"Dad. Put me down." Hiccup tried to away from his dad.

His father let him go, then fixed his hair. "Forgot, you hate that."

Hiccup only scoffed then went to the kitchen. "Well, we have power." He started.

"Might as well, get our use of it, before it goes out again."
