READ THIS PROMPT- 6 Months after the birth of their first child, Astrid and Hiccups dragons still don't take kindly to their newest member

Newest Member

Green eyes bearing down, staring daggers at the small creature,"what's so great about you" the reptile thought. Hiccup and Astrid were in a meeting, this leaving Toothless and Stormfly alone with this thing.

The little one slowly opened it's eyes, waking up from his nap to find the night fury staring at him. The baby's expression was blank, as if trying to figure out why the other was looking at him so intensely. Toothless gave a low growl, his eyes were slits, his teeth were shown, to most, this would make them back away in fear.

The baby laughed.

He giggled at Toothless, his emerald eyes shining at the dragon. Toothless blinked, his eyes turned back to their round pupils and head cocked in confusion, "this is wrong", he thought, "your suppose to fear me".

"He's so cute it's sickening"

Toothless turned around to find Stormfly at the doorway, she had to hunch slightly to fit through but could still enter and sharing the same distaste for the child as Toothless did. She approached her fellow reptile at the crib of this monstrosity.

Toothless snorted, "I never thought such a tiny human could be so aggravating. . . . ever since it came into the house, I never see Hiccup"

"Yeah, me neither with Astrid. . . . . . . "You know what I think Tooth ?"she asked.

"What ?"

"I think it's some kind of sorcery. . . . I mean, think about it, Hiccup and Astrid act so strange when around it"

"You know what. . . . . . . . .I think you might be right, Hiccup's always making faces, or talking in a weird voice when he's around it"

"And sometimes, I hear Astrid singing to it, Astrid. . . . . singing . . . . . .think about that." Stormfly added.

"*sigh*, oh you poor things" said a voice in dry sarcasm, the two dragons turned around to hear a third voice, the voice of a Stormcutter dragon.

"Cloudjumper ?" Toothless asked, "what brings you here".

"Calm yourself young Alpha, I only come to visit the little one, but from what I hear, you two are not as felicitous of him" Cloudjumper inferred.

"That thing is doing something to our riders !" Stormfly screeched.

Cloudjumper merely chuckled, "young ones, humans are strange creatures, your riders only are trying to care for him", Cloudjumper began to slowly rock the baby's crib, "when Hiccup acts strange, chances are he's just trying to make the baby laugh, and when Astrid sings, she's trying to sooth him, their doing what parents do, take care of their child, it's not black magic, it's nature".

"But why do they have to spend all their time with it anyway ?" Toothless asked glumly.

"Well he's still quite young, he needs as much attention as possible, and balancing being the humans leader, your riders probably just can't find the time, honestly, I was quite surprised, I really did think you'd be more excited about this"

Stormfly looked to the Stormcutter, "Why would be excited ?"

Cloudjumper turned his head from the baby and to the other two reptiles, "well another human in the house, would mean another rider, when he's grown that is".

Toothless's ears perked up, "another rider !"

Cloudjumper smiled, knowing he had them hooked, "well if the child is anything like his parents, he'll want to fly a dragon when he gets older, so when your riders are busy, you'll have your own little rider ready to go".

Toothless and Stormfly approached the small baby in his crib smiling at them, Toothless leaned his head towards the child, to have the little Haddock put his hand up to him, and start petting him, this petting soothed Toothless as he pulled his head back out.

"I think he likes you Alpha" Cloudjumper commented.

"Hey let me try" Stormfly objected putting her head into the crib, only this time, the child grabbed one of the spikes on her head but wouldn't let go, "uh oh" she said as she pulled her head back out to have the baby dangling from her head, the nadder slightly shook, making the baby loose grip and fall down, but quickly catched by Toothless's wing.

He climbed up the night fury's back and slid down his tail like a slide, laughing all the way. Cloudjumper chuckled at this, "well I must be going before concern befalls Valka, I do hope you two enjoy our newest member", and with that, he flew out the window.

Time seemed to fly by as the two dragons played with the tiny human, careful not to harm him with their spines, claw or fire. His laughter became music to their ears, now enjoying his company.

"You know what Stormfly"

"Yeah Toothless ?" the nadder asked.

"I think we can make this work" the night fury answered.

Stormfly smiled, "me too".

It was a good many hours before Hiccup and Astrid returned back home, "ugh, I thought that meeting would never end" Astrid groaned.

"Yeah, me neither, but we got through it, I'm just worried to see how they pulled up without us" Hiccup answered.

"Stormfly and Toothless are probably trying to keep as much distance as possible from the nursery, do you think they'll ever get comfortable with him ?"

Both Haddocks has noticed the sour glances, the low growls and look of complete distaste with the newest member of the house-hold that their dragons were giving, both knew that they had been more distant to them, but with a new baby, plus the daily struggles coming with being in charge of an entire tribe, time was hard to gather for their dragons.

But as the couple entered their house and up to the nursery, what they found was the last thing they thought they'd see. Both Stormfly and Toothless were peacefully asleep in the nursery, and the baby could be seen curled up, snuggled into Toothless's black wing smiling in content and comfort.

"Well that's one problem solved" Astrid whispered.

Hiccup quietly chuckled, "I guess so. . . .should we wake them ?"

"No let them sleep" Astrid answered softly.

With that the loving couple slowly closed the nursery door.

(When watching the sequel, I found Cloudjumper as dignified and a little stiff, but can be a little playful when he wants to be, and the baby does have a name, you'll find out what it is tomorrow, IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FEEL FREE TO COMMENT THEM, read and review and this is Moonlight Snowflake signing off)
