A/N: Originally, this was going to be an actual story. Then I got to thinking that I had no idea where I would take it after I had the first two chapters done, and thus, this was born. A little surprise will come along between the second and fourth chapter, I haven't decided yet, but it's going to happen!

Technically, this is the sequel, or whatever you want to call it, to Say Something.

A bunch of one-shots/drabbles of Astrid, Hiccup, and Novella.
Of course, Snotlout, Heather, Ruff and Tuff, Fish, and even Eret will be involved. Along with Astrid's relationship with her parents, and Stoick and Valka.
There will also be some OC's later on :D

Oh. Basically, this chapter is mostly something that has happened with my friends baby. Her first word was "dada" and she could say my name(kind of, anyways.), Rachael, Very (it's supposed to be Avery), and Jelica. She didn't say mama until I sat there repeating the word until she finally said it. Her mom cried, it was too cute tho!"

Enjoy these, friends!

Chapter One
Eleven Months Old

"Okay Novella." Astrid started, laying her daughter down on the couch and hovering over her "You're going to talk whether you like it or not. Say mama."

Novella stared up at her mother, a smile on her face. This isn't the first time that Astrid has tried getting her daughter to talk. Whenever Hiccup is at work and she gets bored, she will put Novella on the couch and try to get her to say 'mama'. She can look at her daddy anytime and constantly say 'dada', but she can't just acknowledge her mom?

Not that Astrid is jealous or anything. It would just be nice if her daughter said something to besides hi every now and then. She can even - almost - say Ruff's name! It sounds more like she's barking at her godmother, but it's close enough and they all know what she's trying to say.

"I will give you extra wheels from here on out if you will say mama just once."

Novella reached towards her mom. Their daughter isn't stupid. She knows what wheels are, and they happen to be her favorite snack that her parents give her. Astrid remembers when they first got them and Ruff asked if they were good. Instead of just licking it like Astrid and Hiccup did, she shoved the whole thing in her mouth. Needless to say, whenever Ruff is there, they end up needing to buy more wheels for Novella. Between the two of them, they run out quick.

"Dada!"

Astrid sighed "You just hate me, don't you?" Novella let out a squeal again, clapping her hands together "If you love me as much as you claim, say it."

Astrid laughed to herself. Her daughter can't exactly claim anything yet. The only kind of love Novella will show anyone is leaning into them and giving them a very slobbery, open mouthed kiss on the lips. As disgusting as it is, both Astrid and Hiccup love it.

"Dada!"

Astrid groaned, throwing her head back. This has to be hopeless, right? Novella is never going to say mama, and this is going to drive her insane. Why hasn't she said it yet? Even Ruff's daughter has said mama already. How is it possible that little Rain Ingerman beat Novella in saying mama first?

That's right. When Astrid was five months pregnant, Ruff told her and Hiccup that she and Fish were going to have a baby. She was one month along at the time. Four months after Novella was born, Rain was born.

"Gods, you hate me, don't you?" Astrid gave Novella a smile, reaching over and poking her in the side "You would say it if your daddy was here, wouldn't you?"

Novella seemed to get really excited, reaching up and making grabbing motions with her hands "Dada! Dada!"

Astrid waved her hand around, rolling her eyes "Yeah, yeah. Dada." Astrid jumped when she felt hands on her shoulders. She hadn't even heard the door open, or Toothless and Stormfly run towards the door "Gods, Hiccup. You scared me so bad."

Hiccup gave her a smile, sitting in the chair next to her "Terrorizing our daughter already?"

"Not terrorizing. Just having very nice mother daughter time. She still won't say mama." Hiccup reached his arms out, and Astrid picked Novella up, handing her to her daddy. Astrid frowned, staring at her husband and daughter "Of course she gets excited when she sees you."

"Well.. I am the favorite, so-Violence, Astrid! You can't do that when I'm holding a baby." Hiccup held Novella in one arm, rubbing where Astrid had hit him "Didn't you grow out of that habit?"

Astrid smiled at him, standing up to head to the kitchen "Old habits die hard. I hope that hurt. What do you want for dinner?"

Hiccup stared down at Novella. Has it really been eleven months? He thought back to the time when he and Astrid babysat Tuff's daughter, Rosie. They remember thinking parenting was going to be hard, and they almost dreaded it. Sure, the first month was pretty tough when Novella wasn't sleeping and constantly crying, but then she finally started sleeping through the night, and they realized it wasn't too bad. Novella has been the perfect child to them.

Astrid would say different though. Novella refuses to call her mama, and Hiccup almost finds it funny.

"Whatever you feel up to making, Milady." Hiccup set Novella on the ground and followed Astrid to the kitchen "Does she have to get older?"

Novella came waddling into the kitchen after her parents. The two loved that Novella was walking. Although she was all over the place, and when she had first started walking, she did end up falling and almost hitting her head on the table, but they were proud of her.

"Sadly, she does. Soon she'll be talking. She'll finally call me mama, and I think that day should hurry up and get here."

Hiccup laughed, shaking his head "Is that all you care about? Novella calling you mama?"

Astrid stood on her toes, reaching in the cabinet to pull something down. She rolled her eyes and sighed "Yes. You don't even understand how hard of a struggle it is because dada was her first word."

"Jealous?"

Astrid shot Hiccup a look and frowned "No."

Novella stood by the entrance of the kitchen looking between her parents. Why weren't they acknowledging her? She was the special one around here. She was the one that usually got all the attention. It was rare moments like these where her parents never paid attention to her and they only talked to each other. Novella fell backwards, letting out a cry. She may only be eleven months old, but she knows how to get her parents attention.

Hiccup and Astrid looked over at their daughter. Astrid nudged Hiccup with her elbow "You're the favorite. Go pick her up."

Hiccup rolled his eyes as he walked over to Novella. He mumbled something to her as he picked her up and carried her back over to stand by Astrid. He set her on the counter, and leaned so he was now eye level with her "Okay, listen here princess. Your mom has been working hard to get you to say mama. Can you do that?"

"Dada!"

Hiccup chuckled, shaking his head at her "No, mama. Say it with me. Mama."

Novella stared at her dad. More new things to learn? How old did they think she is? Five? She stared at her dad, who had a smile on his face, before turning to her mom who had a hopeful look on her face. What was so important about this word anyways?

Astrid let out a sigh "She's never going to say it. She's going to go her whole life without calling me mom, or mommy, or mama."

"You're exaggerating, Astrid."

"I am not! She can say all of our friends names, she can even throw our some hi's and hello's, and she calls you dada!"

"Exaggerating."

Novella stared up at her mom, making grabbing motions with her hands again "Mama!"

Astrid's eyes widened. Hiccup was in mid-sentence to her when she swung her arm out hitting him in the stomach "Hiccup! She said it, did you hear her?"

Hiccup raised an eyebrow at her. He hadn't even heard Novella at all. Was Astrid officially going crazy? He rolled his eyes "Astrid-"

She pushed him out of the way and stood in front of Novella, a huge grin on her face "Say it again, Ella!"

Novella smiled. Finally, the attention was all on her. She loved being the center of attention. She clapped her hands together, letting out one of her loud scream laughs "Mama!"

Astrid let out, what she will never admit, a girly-ish squeal. Hiccup had heard it before, and of course, he judged her for it. Her reaction? Punching him. He would never call her out on said squeal again, but it's always funny to hear it come from her. Astrid. The biggest tomboy he knows. His wife is anything but girly. She had one moment; their wedding.

"Did you hear it?!"

"Yes, Astrid, I heard it. I told you that you were exaggerating."
