The News
Hiccups P.O.V.
Well, it was a normal day for my family, with me at the family business, my beautiful wife Astrid at Berk High as the sports coach of the girls volley ball team, and my beautiful daughter Aera at her baseball team. Yup, all normal, or that's what I would think, I'm not home that often I'm always at work from straight at 8:00a.m. to 9:00p.m. or sometimes near ten at night. Yes it bothers me that I'm not with my family long enough ever since my Dad retired and handed down the job to me. It is nice or okay to run a big business but I would like to go back to the old good days and do what I would do with my friends and family. At least I get to see them some times on Sundays if I'm not called up to work for a business meeting but ... Yup that's how my life is now. I don't think any of this will ever change.
Later that day
I arrived home to a sleeping daughter but Astrid was wide awake and waiting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hands. This was strange normally she would be fast asleep on the couch or in our room.
"What's wrong" I said
"I need to speak to you" said Astrid
Oh no, this is it she thinks that I don't spend enough time at home, that I don't spend enough time with them, she's going to want a divorce and leave me, no, I can't let that happen I won't be able to live without them.
"What is it?" I said
" I'm going out of town for a while" said Astrid
"Why?" I said, still nervous
Oh no hear it comes, she can't stand me away from home all the time, she probably needs some time away from me, is this my payback for not being at home or what, what did I do wrong?
"Me and the girls are going to a tournament, and won't be back for one or two months" she said.
"Oh thank God your not leaving me" I said with released.
"What, why? Why would I leave you?" She said a little confused.
"Never mind-wait you're leaving for two months, where are you going?" My nervousness returned, it felt like I was running out of air, "I don't think that it would be good for you to take Aera away for two months, it will bring her grades down".
"We're going to London for a while probably half a month and them we're off to Italy for the tournament for for part of the next month and the remainder of the month I will get on a plane back home"
"Oh, okay-but what about Aera, if she stays away from school so long she'll flunk third grade"
"Shell be staying with you, its not that I don't want to bring her it's just that its-a business trip, as you would put it" she said with a smirk on her lips as she got up and walked to stove were the pot of coffee was.
"Wait you're leaving me with Aera, but-don't you think it will be better for her to stay with her grandparents or aunts. I mean I'm hardly ever home and I can't leave her alone"
"I've already made arrangements with your dad, he's agreed to go back to work only for the time in gone and I can't reschedule" she said as she walked to the sink to dump the coffee remains.
"Good night Hiccup" she said as she gave me a kiss and headed upstairs to bed.
"Good night" I said to her before she disappeared up the stairs.
I stayed up for a while, thinking on what to do the day she leaves. I am dead, I mean I've never actually been home to know what Aera does other that she plays baseball, at least I'll have toothless to help me around since he stays home and sees what happens around.
And as if he knew my distress he came down the stairs followed by stormfly to were I was seated. Toothless, my Belgian sheepdog (the black dog on the pic on top) I've had him since he was a puppy, named him toothless because he was the only one that didn't have his full set of teeth when the rest had theirs. Behind him was stormfly, Astrid's grey and white Shetland sheepdog (pic of the dog on the right), both took a liking to each other even before Astrid and I got officially settled.
"Hey toothless, hey stormfly, what are you two doing up" I said to them as I scratched both their necks. They looked at me with apologetic eyes as if they knew that I was feeling completely hopeless.
"What am I going to do bud", I said with a deep sigh but all he did was lick my hand and continue staring at me. I hope that when she leaves I'll know what to do.
