"It's soup Daddy," Four-year-old Sylvia said placing an empty bowl in front of Hiccup.
"What kind of soup?" Hiccup asked, going along with the game.
"Hmm..." Sylvia thought for a moment. "Invisible."
"Mmm, my favorite!" He grinned and began eating the 'soup'.
"Mm! Mm!" One-year-old Stoick toddler over, two-year-old Kari following close behind.
"Kari, come here!" Hiccup said and happily scooped his daughter into his arms. Her red curls bounced as he gave her a piggy-back ride around the living room.
"Me next Daddy! Me next!" Sylvia said jumping up.
"Me! Me!" Stoick mimicked his sister, reaching his hands up to his father.
"Oh no! The wild dragons are after me! Astrid! Help me!" Hiccup ran around the room with Kari on his back, being chased by a giggling Sylvia and Stoick.
Astrid walked into the room from the kitchen and shook her head at the silliness as she sat down on a wooden chair and began fixing one of Stoick's shirts. Hiccup was "captured" by the "wild dragons" and fell to the ground, the kids laughing as they went with him.
Hiccup grinned wider and looked at Astrid as the kids ran out of the room, now playing the dragon chase game Uncle Tuffnut taught them.
"Stop it," She told him, not even looking up.
"Stop what?" He asked, his jaw slightly dropping.
"Stop looking at me like that."
"Looking at you like what exactly?"
"You know I don't know how to explain it," Astrid said setting down the shirt. "But every time you give me that look, you get me pregnant."
"I still don't know what look you're talking about," Hiccup said, his grin returning. "You're just being ridiculous. I have never looked at you that way. I'm pretty sure that look doesn't even exist."
"Oh, trust me, it exists," She nodded and Hiccup laughed. "You laugh now, but in a couple weeks when I come and tell you we're having another baby, you'll understand."
"And what, per say, does this look, look like?"
Astrid tried her best to imitate Hiccup, giving him a weird look and tilting her head, to which Hiccup laughed at.
"Okay, now I know you're being ridiculous, because there is no way I have ever done that," Hiccup said shaking his head.
"We have this discussion all the time."
"If we have it all the time then how come there aren't tons of kids running around here?"
"Because a. I have self control-"
"Nope, that's a lie. There is no way you could resist this much raw vikingness."
Astrid ignored him. "And b. there is no way we could handle that right now."
"I bet you we could."
"Hiccup, don't get any ideas. I want to wait until Stoick is at least two."
"Well, who's to say we couldn't start practicing?" He asked and then ran out of the room, following the kids.
"Oh, Thor help me," Astrid said and continued to work on sewing.
