Thanks to all who reviewed they cheer me up all the time. Sorry it's a bit late but I have had lots of coursework in school and pressure from upcoming exams. I still own nothing, and please review.

Lying in bed Astrid thought over the month's events. First collapsing in the Great Hall, then spraining her leg in Dragon Training, and finally revealing her pregnancy to Hiccup. He was still being amazing. He and Ruff had been silent, even Tuff didn't know and they told each other everything, they had always been super close, so her loyalty was greatly appreciated.

Her leg still hurt a little, but only when she ran or had walked for too long, and the bruising was almost invisible. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said about Astrid. Because of her extreme combat training she could already feel her stomach had a slight curve, or was it her imagination. Either way she would be properly showing soon. Hiccup was really supportive but he would change as quickly as Snotlout would move once he saw a yak butter parfait.

It was foggy today so Astrid only rode to the academy not fly. Hiccup was finally there with them after Stoick said that he could only get time off by working overtime for a couple for a couple more weeks. So this was the first training session in a long time where they would all be together.

"Zippleback today" announced Hiccup as he hopped off Toothless, "they can cause explosions as well as using unlit gas as a weapon itself"

"Yeah we know Ruff would spray me in gas after I washed, so I would have to wash again to make sure I didn't blow up in the forge, although that would be kinda cool" Tuffnut started smirking and went completely silent, bad for a guy who had just imagined setting himself on fire.

"Anyway we should be prepared in case any wild Zipplebacks attack" Astrid spoke calmly wanting to start training.

After Hiccup had told Astrid the proposed lesson, the night before, he immediately thought of the risks he would put her in, but of course she had demanded she do it as well while stating. "The thing is a peanut and is not going to get in the way of my daily life, for now".

Back in the arena, Hiccup was teaching the theory."The gas makes you hallucinate and can cause you to pass out, right I think that's everything, let's start!" Ruffnut stood on the edge of the arena outside the fence and used the hand signal for Barf to start releasing gas. Green vapour soon filled the arena while the young Vikings tried to avoid breathing it in. Almost all of them were successful, "Wow a flying yak, look at it glide!" everyone knew Tuffnut had failed in his gas protection techniques.

Suddenly Astrid legged it out of the arena, Ruffnut noticed straight away and signalled Barf and Belch to start flapping their wings causing the gas to disappear instantaneously. Luckily it was still foggy so no one saw Astrid empty her breakfast round the back of the academy, but they all heard. Concerned Hiccup followed her just as quickly as she had ran and found her sighing while wiping her mouth. Astrid turned to see her husband staring, his emerald eyes were confused and worried at the same time, she would have thought of an excuse but...

"Whoa" her vision went blurry as her legs wobbled beneath her, this time she had some support.

"Ok you need to sit down" unusually Astrid nodded instead of ranting to her husband how she was fine and he needed to stop being overprotective. Hiccup walked her back to the academy one hand behind her waist the other holding her fragile fingers which seemed to tremble. She sat down on the little bench and groaned with her hands supporting her throbbing head. Luckily Ruffnut and Fishlegs had taken Tuffnut to get some Cod to clear the gas from his system, but they were stuck with Snotlout.

"So looks like Astrid couldn't handle the Zippleback, not a big surprise since you married Hiccup his weakness must have rubbed off on you".

Astrid groaned again Snotlout would never change, but today she wasn't able to reply someone else did. "Don't ever speak like that to Astrid ever again". A small thud could be heard, however Hiccup who was now a little taller than Snotlout glared at him and was oblivious to the noise. The staring match was a little wonky but the icy stares lasted long enough for neither of them to notice Astrid had crumpled onto the bench.

"Why?"

"Because she's..." At this point Hiccup turned round to see the blonde, and started to lift under her arms to get her up.

"Because she's pregnant!"

Snotlout's face fell, this was when he realised Astrid was never going to be his. Now she was carrying Hiccup's child, she would always have Hiccup. Fortunately she was not conscious enough to see him or hear her biggest secret revealed. Hiccup sat on Toothless and got him to run, he was cradling her and not wanting to hurt her made sure the dragon didn't leave the ground.

By the time Astrid had got home she had woken up. Toothless only walked backed then so it didn't look suspicious. Stormfly ran with the night fury worried for her rider who had been acting strangely.

"You need to be more careful, I knew I shouldn't have let you join in" his eyes looked guilty he didn't want to put his wife in danger.

"I'm fine Hiccup how about we go away next month, you, me the dragons then I won't have to hide as much" Her face told a perfect lie, but inside she still wasn't ready to slow down.

"Ok that sounds good, then I can really have a break" He smiled then walked off towards the stove and started to make some lunch. Astrid was still upset though she was changing already and didn't like it.
