It's very hard to take care of everything on Berk if you're the chief. You're like a king or the leader of the pack. Stoick the Vast made Berk perfect for his wife and his baby son.

"Will you look at it, Val. Look at it. This home is perfect for the two of us." he told his wife, Val. "I'm looking at it, honey. You did a great job taking care of your people." said Val. "I'm sure little Hiccup will like it too." "I'm not sure we can let Hiccup go outside. I mean he's just a baby and he can hurt himself when gets into the weapons." said Stoick. "That's why we need to keep a close eye on him and the village knows him very well, so he'll be fine." said Val. "Yeah, you're right. We could teach him how to slay a dragon, catch a fish, and he'll be the greatest Viking BERK HAS EVER SEEN!" he shouted and the whole village heard him. "Shh, you'll wake up the baby." said Val as she went inside to check on Hiccup.

They went to Hiccup's bedroom and sees him sleeping in his little crib. "Oh look. He's dreaming." whispered Val as she looks at her sleeping baby. "I'll bet he's dreaming about being a great Viking." said Stoick as he and his wife went back outside to watch his people.

"In just a couple months, Hiccup will be two. He sure is getting bigger."said Val. "Yeah. What if he doesn't like me?" asked Stoick, worried about the future. Val laughed a little bit on what her husband said. "Stoick, you're his father. He'll love you. He will be like you." said Val. "Actually, he's just like you. He'll be like you in the future." said Stoick as he watches his wife clean the steps.

Val notices her husband staring at her. "What?" she asked him. "Remember how we first met?" asked Stoick. "I seriously doubt that I don't." Val replied as she continued what she was doing. "Well, I do. Excuse me, miss? Do I have something on my mouth?" asked Stoick playfully as he wrapped his arms around his wife and twirled her around. "Ahh, Stoick! Stop it!" said Val playfully.

They stopped playing when Gobber came to the couple while panting when he stopped. "Gobber, what's wrong?" asked Stoick. "The Outcasts are here, Stoick. You better go find out what he wants." said Gobber. "WHAT?! Outcasts? In Berk?!" asked Stoick furiously.

He got out his hammer to get ready for battle. Val got ready too, but Stoick told her, "No, Val. It's not safe. You have to stay here with Hiccup. He needs you." He was right. Mothers like Val would never leave their children. She nodded in agreement. "I'll be right back." he said before kissing her forehead and left the house.

When Stoick made it to the docks, his old nemesis Alvin the Trecherous was waiting. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Stoick the Vast. Here to fight me." he said. "What do you want, Alvin?" asked Stoick rudely. "You know what I want, Stoick. I want Berk. Now surrender before I take every single life on Berk." said Alvin. "You wouldn't." threatened Stoick as he aimed his hammer at Alvin. Alvin missed his aim and called his fellow Outcasts, "Attack Berk! Take everything you could find!" They charged at the village and Stoick tried to stop them, but was stopped by Alvin. "I warned you, Stoick. Everyone is dying because of you. Now it's your turn." he said as he grabbed Stoick's hammer and knocked him out.

A few hours later, Stoick woke up in a hospital where found Gobber by his side. He groaned as he got up. "What happened?" he asked himself. Gobber heard his friend's voice and shouted in worry, "Stoick, are you alright?" "I'm fine." he said, but then he remembered something important. "Where's Val?" Gobber didn't answer him which worries him so much that he got out of the bed and ran to his house.

He didn't care if he hears his friend calling him. Stoick kept running to the house and when he got there, it was empty. "Val?" he called as he looked around his house to find his wife. "Val?!" he called again. He went Hiccup's room and it was empty. Stoick gasped in shock and looked at Hiccup's bed. "Oh Hiccup. Not you too." he whispered. He went back outside and yelled, "VAL!" and not a voice replied back to him.

Gobber went towards him and asked him, "There you are. What's with all the screaming?" "Where's Val? She's not in the house. Hiccup's not in there either!" yelled Stoick. Gobber swallowed and said, "I hate to upset you, but. Alvin took away Val's life. There was no sign of Hiccup anywhere. Alvin chased her to the woods and killed her." Stoick was stunned and didn't say anything to him. "I'm sorry Stoick. I'll leave you alone." said Gobber as he leaves to go home.

Stoick went inside and when he sat down, he wept. His only family he ever had was gone. Now the chief has nothing. Stoick kept on crying, and then, he heard a small cry coming from underground.

This little cry keeps going which made Stoick finding out where it's coming from. He opened a handle to the floor and moved the rug out of the way. When he did, it was a surprise. It was Hiccup! The poor baby was in there all this time and Alvin didn't notice this private place. "Hiccup!" Stoick yelped as he picked up the baby and cradled him in his arms. Hiccup continued crying as he was picked up by someone else instead of his mother. "Shhh. There there. It's okay. Daddy's here." he cooed to baby.

When he talked to him, Hiccup calmed down and stopped crying. "Daddy's got you." Stoick held Hiccup until he fell asleep.

When he took Hiccup to his cradle, he made a promise to the boy that would never be broken forever. "I promise, Hiccup. I'll never let anything happen to you."
