Joys and joys,
(Author's note: This is a lot happier than my previous fic, and man is nervous Hiccup adorable.)
Hiccup and Astrid walked along the sandy beach area, for no reason Hiccup was nervous, probably because him and Astrid hadn't had a decent alone time in a couple months. Hiccup made a sudden outburst, "So, uh Astrid, maybe we should go take Stormfly and Toothless go on a flight, because they need it, and we haven't had time and-" Astrid cut him off and grabbed both his hands, "Hiccup, I've been meaning to tell you, I'm pregnant." She said with a grin, Hiccup didn't process it quickly, "Like I was saying, we should go- WAIT, what?" He suddenly stopped in shock, She laughed at his dumb nervousness, "I'm pregnant, due in seven months, um, You are going to be a dad." She jokingly explained, Hiccup didn't know what to do, he just leaned in hugged her, he snaked one of his hands down and placed it on her stomach, "You won't feel anything," she said, Hiccup said to her nervously, "I know, but.." She laughed a little, "I understand." They layed down together on the beach, "Astrid, what will our parents say?" Hiccup asked her,
Astrid giggled, "I already told them and everyone else, I just planned on telling you. And this was the perfect time." She said, Hiccup kept fidgeting, "What's wrong Hiccup? You look kind of sick, do we need to get you home?" She asked him as he fingered with his vest, "Astrid, when you told me I was so excited, now I'm scared! A baby? What will I do! I have to go out and train dragons! And the village needs you as well! You are my assistant, you are also one of our top handy men, what we'll we do? I can't just quit exploring, and no way are you going to be doing any hard work, rough training, or wild riding on Stormfly. And really, I'm scared. I don't want something bad to happen to, it. And, I don't know the first thing about babies or children! And what happens when we have another baby? You were an only child, I was an only child! Siblings would be so much to handle! And how would we cope?! Will we have live together now? Will we not raise the baby and let someone else do it? Where is the baby's main home going to be?! Are we going to have to spend every moment together changing diapers and cleaning up messes?! Will we-" Astrid stopped his rambled questioning. "Let's start with one baby first, I don't know, we'll work it out. Maybe the baby can sleep at my house for a row of four days, then yours for three of the weeks, alternating between whoever during the day? Now my question, names. If it's a girl, what will we name it?" Hiccup relaxed and thought for a minute, "Well, the baby's last name is going to be Haddock, kind of obvious. For a girl we could name her, Willow? And her middle name could be Astrid, for the fun of it. Willow Astrid Haddock, I like it." He said, Astrid smiled, "I like that, and for a boy we could name it, Ash! Hmm, Ash Stoick Haddock." Hiccup smiled his classic toothy grin at her, "Ash Stoick Haddock, perfect." He said, then he kissed her. A perfect ending to the day.
