~ Baby AU! ~
Author's Note ~ Okay. Let's see where were at now. *Face palm* Baby Au ... Why did it have to be baby Au?! ANYWAY! In this little One-Shot, Hiccup is a two year old toddler growing up with HER godfather cause everyone else abandoned her. The only other company she's got is a plush night fury dragon she calls Toothless and a four year old neighbor who lives with his aunt Tooth, Uncle North, and eight year old cousin Aster. But, years later, when Hicca runs away, who will find her sitting against an old willow tree? Yes, I made Hiccup into a girl. DEAL W/ IT HATERS! ~
She was happy. She had everything she could ever want. A home, a place to sleep, food, and someone to love her. Hicca Alexis Haddock the III, lost her mother at child birth. Out of grief her dad sent her to an orphanage three days later, never to return. Two years later Hicca was adopted by her godfather Gobber, whom was a close friend with her dad. The problem was that her dad had died three weeks earlier and Hicca never knew. That was the way it had to be.
Gobber sat on the couch as he watched Hicca spin around in the living room. Her brunette hair long and beautiful and her eyes full of light. There ws a knock at the door and in surprise Hicca hid behind the side of the couch. Gobber opened the door and smiled at the family that stood on the front porch. "Aye North! What brings ya here?" He questioned to the man. He had a long white beard and he wore red and large black boots. Hicca could've sworn that he was Santa Clause. "Ana and I are going out, I was hoping you would watch Aster and Jack while we're out." North replied.
Gobber nodded,"Of course I can, How long will ya two be out?" "Just for a couple hours if that's alright." "Of course," Gobber said as North bent down to the two boys that were with him. "Listen, You two are gonna stay here and play alright? Tooth and I will be back later to pick you up. And Jack, listen to Gobber and Aster." Jack nodded as North ruffled his pure white spiked hair.
North left as the others came into the house. "Hicca," Gobber called,"We have guest!" Hicca ran from her hiding place into the kitchen and hid in the cupboard. Gobber rubbed his chin. Where had she gone? Jack pulled on Gobber's finger and pointed to the closet. Gobber smiled as he said,"Where did Hicca go? She was here a few minutes ago," Hicca giggled from the closet,"I sure wish she would come out. Oh well, I guess Aster, Jack and I will have to go play outside without her." "No!" Hicca shouted jumping out off the cupboard. Everyone started laughing, but Hicca started crying and ran to her room.
Gobber sighed,"Jack, ya wanna get her and tell her it's snowin'?" Jack nodded excitedly and went up to Hicca's room. He knocked on her door and said,"Hicca. Do you wanna build a snowman? It's snowing outside." There was no reply. "Hicca? Come on, let's go outside and play!" Still no reply. Jack opened the door slowly and walked into Hicca's room. Her room was so big. Probably helped that her dad and godfather were rich. Jack looked around and heard tiny little 'hiccups' coming from the bed. Jack climbed up, and found Hicca crying and holding an ebony dragon plush as if her life depended on it.
"Hicca? Aren't you gonna come outside?" Hicca shook her head,"No." "Why not?" "You all laughed at me." "We didn't mean to. Please?" Hicca only shook her head. Jack was about to leave when Hicca's hand grabbed his arm. "No!" She cried,"Please, stay with me." Jack nodded and got back beside Hicca. "As you wish it," he said as Hicca nuzzled her head into Jack's neck. Soon they fell asleep and when Gobber came into the room with North two hours later, Hicca and Jack were sound asleep, in each others arms.
~ Twelve years later ~
She never knew. And now she was running. Running away, hoping to get away from all the lies. That was her life. Lies and deceit. She couldn't take it anymore. Hicca ran from the house to the forest which she used to play hide and seek with Jack and Aster. But, that was when they were mere children and when Hicca didn't know about what happened to her parents. That was when she knew happiness.
She ran all the way to the middle of the woods. There stood a large willow tree. A small swing hung from one of the branches, it was there ever since Hicca's third birthday and she loved it. It started raining and there were enough leave to provide a covering for Hicca to sit under the tree. Yet, not enough to keep her dry. She hugged her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms tight around her legs. After years of holding them in. Hicca cried her heart out; wishing for her parents.
She stayed there for what seemed to be hours. Until someone familiar called out her name. "Hicca!" It called. Hicca could hear thumping footsteps on the wet grass. The sound of panting breaths came closer. Soon, a familiar boy with pure white spiked hair and pale skin and crystal icy blue eyes stood in from of her. "Oh Hicca!" It was Jack. Hicca and Jack had been neighbors since Hicca was just two years old and they've always stayed close to each other whenever they could. Jack knelt down and hugged her. He had been looking everywhere for her.
"Come on, let's get you home." He said taking her hand. "No Jack! Please don't make me go back there!" Hicca replied. "But Gobber's worried sick about you. And my dad will kill me if I don't get home." "I don't care! Don't make me go back there." Jack sat next to Hicca and wrapped his hand around her waist. Pulling her closer so that her head can rest on his shoulder. "I miss them Jack," Hicca said softly,"I miss my parents." "I know Hicca," Jack replied just as soft,"I know."
Soon, Hicca started to fall asleep and Jack picked her up bridal style. As Jack started heading back to Hicca's house, Hicca opened her eyes sleepily. "Jack," She said. "Yes?" "Please. Stay with me." Jack smiled as he remembered the last time he heard her say those words to him and he replied the same words he did to her that day twelve years earlier. "As you wish it." ~
