The Breakable Child Summary

I do not shame you for not reading The Breakable Child! It has some very graphic sexual content, so I am glad you decided to go ahead and skip it if it is not the kind of thing you like to read.

However, if you are here and did not know there is a little one-shot as a kind of prequel/background to this story, go ahead and go read it, if you'd like.

This is the third story in my trilogy. The first is "How to Say Goodbye" and the second is "Once a Berserker, Always a Berserker." If you haven't read those, go check them out!

So, here I am to give you the jist of what happened in The Breakable Child.

Hiccup, Astrid, and the other Dragon Riders are living on the Edge with their dragons and are still battling Viggo.

One day Astrid goes to Hiccup's hut and is extremely upset. When asked what is wrong, she tells Hiccup that her parents signed a marriage contract to some man from another island.

Hiccup tried to figure out how the contract was legal because Stoick would never sign it, but Astrid explained that it only needed one chief's signature. Her parents were also offered a nice dowry, which is why they decided to go ahead and sign it instead of waiting for Hiccup.

Hiccup and Astrid leave The Edge and go to Berk to get the mess sorted out. There they meet Stoick, Gobber, and Astrid's parents, Ansorf and Eshmelda.

They also find out that the man who Astrid was going to marry (in only a week) was none other than Viggo. He was trying to get at Hiccup and had lied about who he was and had also made sure the contract was signed before Astrid met him.

Hiccup and Astrid are distraught when they find out the contract is completely valid, until Gobber tells them about something that could break the contract - a Breakable Child.

Gobber explains that if the woman in the contract were to become pregnant by another man, the man in the contract would be able to decide if he still wished to marry the woman. Either way, a new contract would have to be written up to include the child. That means Astrid's parents could refuse to sign the contract.

The only risk there was that Hiccup was the future chief of Berk and was expected not to be intimate with any woman except his intended wife, so if it didn't work, he would lose the respect of the village.

Hiccup and Astrid decided that the benefits outweighed the risks and began trying for a Breakable Child.

It didn't work at first, the young couple started to think maybe they couldn't have a child together. The wedding started getting closer and closer until it was only a few days away. Viggo arrived on Berk, but Astrid refused to stay with him like he asked. She instead stayed with Hiccup and the day before the wedding they find out she is finally pregnant, much to Viggo's dismay.

The marriage contract is rendered void and Viggo vows that he will return for the child.

Months later, the Dragon Riders are throwing an annual party on The Edge. All their allies are there including Heather and Dagur, Mala and Throk, Atali, Minden and Nadia, and Stoick and Gobber.

During the party, Astrid goes into labor and Atali helps to deliver the baby. While this is going on, Viggo makes an appearance with his ships and the other Dragon Riders and their allies use their skills and their dragons to try to fight off the ships.

After many long hours, Astrid and Hiccup's child is born. It's a little boy whom they name Brandt Stoick Haddock. Hiccup and Astrid realize that their son would never be safe with them as long as Viggo was there, so after many tears, they allow Atali to take the baby to a family she knows. She promises that the family will love Brandt as their own and that he will be taught all about who his real parents are and about Berk. Hiccup sends a Deadly Nadder named StarBlaze to help protect his son.

When Viggo finds out that the baby is gone, he and his ships leave The Edge and Hiccup and Astrid are left to wait for their son's return.

That was all nearly twenty-five years ago. Now Hiccup and Astrid have three more kids and are living with their friends on Berk, home of the Hooligan Berserker Tribe.

One day a ship sails into their waters with four passengers. Two are Dagur's children, whom he thought were dead. One is the son of Marina, Dagur's daughter. And one of the passengers is Brandt, the long lost son of Hiccup and Astrid.
