Hi, everybody! So, this is a series of little Hiccstrid drabbles and one-shots that I made in my spare time, because I am a sucker for them, and I couldn't think of a better title. Forgive me if my writing is a little sucky, I am only thirteen, and a beginner, but my sister who is also on fanfiction, more on my profile, is really good at it and loved to help me. Please check out her stories as well, she when she first published it, I swear, she just about started crying she was so happy. Anyways, suggestions are always welcome, and please R&R.
Summary: Set right after Season 5 of RTTE. Hiccup, Fishlegs and Dagur return from Vanaheim, and Astrid has some news for him… And everyone on Dragon's Edge.

After Snotlout had left, Astrid and Hiccup were left alone in each other's presence for about a minute more. Then Astrid lifted her head from Hiccup's shoulder and looked her betrothed in the eyes. "Uh, Hiccup? Can I talk to you? Alone?"
Hiccup looked slightly confused, but he complied. "Sure. Right this way." He held out his hand in the direction of his hut.
Hiccup opened the door, and Astrid smiled and walked in, arms crossed around her torso as if she was cold. She sat down on one of Hiccup's chairs, arms still in place. Hiccup noticed her quiet and knew that something was out of the ordinary. "Hey, Astrid, is everything alright?"
"Yes. No. I—Ugh! I don't know."
"Astrid, what's wrong?"
She looked at him in the face. "Okay. What I'm about to tell you, no matter how absurd or unlikely it may sound is completely true because o would never joke about anything like this especially with—"
She was cut off by Hiccup gently grabbing her shoulders and shaking her. "Astrid! It's okay! What's the matter?"
She looked at him again. She took in a deep breath, let it out slowly and spoke softly. "I'm pregnant."
Despite of her small voice, Hiccup felt like he just hit a brick wall. "What?"
Astrid looked down. "Your right. I shouldn't have told you. It was a bad time—"
"W—What? No, it—Pregnant." He said again after soothing her slightly. Then he smiled lightly. Then he began laughing. He smiled brightly, then stood up and lifted Astrid from her seating position and her feet, and spun her in the air. The movements were sudden and quick, emitting a surprised squeak from Astrid. But in the end, she too ended up smiling. "So, you're not mad?"
"What? No! Why would I be mad? This is fantastic news!"
"Astrid chuckled meekly, still kind of nervous. "It's just…The circumstances. I didn't know, if this was a good, time, or if you had other things on your mid, or yeah."
Hiccup nodded, still smiling. "Yeah, I get you. But this is amazing news! You and me. We're going to be parents, Astrid. We…We have to tell everybody—"
"No! No, Hiccup. Not…Not yet," Astrid cut him off. "Just…Until we can't keep it a secret anymore."
Hiccup paused before answering, not taking his eyes off her. "Oh, yeah. Of course, but, this is huge, Astrid!"
"So I'm told." Astrid muttered to herself. "Listen, don't tell anyone, especially not your dad, yet. The minute he knows, everyone, and I mean everyone will know. Now, I will tell Heather, first of all because she's my best friend, and second she is the only dang person around here who knows how to keep their mouth shut." Before Hiccup could protest, Astrid put a finger to his lips and continued. "Fishlegs, when put under pressure, will tell just about anyone anything. If Snotlout senses anything going on, I don't think the 'My name is Fishlegs, I live on the Island of Berk, I don't know anything about dragons or those who ride them,' tactic will work."
At that, both Hiccup and Astrid laughed. Hiccup ultimately stopped and looked her straight in the eye. Her crystal blue eyes were always bright, but not always happy…
But he noticed that her eyes at this point were bright…More than normal and filled with love and happiness.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. She simultaneously wrapped her arms around his neck, running her fingers through his hair. He smiled down on her saying, "I love you Astrid. And don't you forget it."
She shook her head slightly and smiled. "I'm not planning on it anytime soon." Then both she and he pulled each other close, sharing a passionate kiss. They pulled apart and rested their foreheads together. Then Astrid spoke. "I love you too, Hiccup."
So! Part 1 of….3 I think. There may be some conversation material between Hiccstrid, AstridxHeather, at least. I don't really want to go through the entirety of Hiccstrid revealing the news to the gang, but, you know. I might. Tell me what you think. There will be at least 2 parts, tho. Feel free to give me any suggestions for one-shots or drabbles, rules are on my profile. Thanks again for all the support from my other story, Shackles and Chains. Sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes and stuff like that, I looked over it pretty good.
