Chapter Ten

Hiccup groaned. Since Hiccup had come back from his 5 day 'exile' Toothless had mounted him no less than 5 times. Though he wasn't complaining. Even when he was heavy with Toothlesses babies he still enjoyed being mounted. Some things never changed, and luckily that never changed. Hiccup really enjoyed the feeling of being tied with his mate.

He let a soft moan as Toothless pulled out and slid off him. Sighing happily he glanced over at Toothless. The larger dragon was catching his breath. Hiccup purred and hobbled over to Toothless. The other dragon looked up and pushed his head against his Hiccup. "I missed you." Toothless purred.

"I missed you too." Hiccup sighed licking him softly.

Toothless smiled at Hiccup. The more time they spent together the stronger the bond seemed to become. "Don't leave like that again. I don't know what might happen if you do.

Hiccup gave a sad chuckle. Toothless knew he was going to have to leave again. Maybe not for as long, but he was still going to have to go. He needed to make sure his nest was in good enough condition for him to have his babies. "Toothless you know I'll have to go soon."

Hiccups heart broke a little at the cry Toothless gave. The larger dragon pushed against Hiccup. He did know Hiccup was going to have to go, but just the thought made Toothless want to cry. "I'll miss you. A lot."

"I know, I'll miss you too. But just remember that every time I'll be back." Hiccup couldn't handle Toothless being so sad. But there was no way to change anything. At least he could spent as much time as he could with him before he really had to go.

In the month that followed Toothless had become not only very protective but very sheltering. Like previously agreed on they went to Berk during the day, but none of the other dragons were able to come close without Toothless growling and snapping. It was about the same with the people. They could get a bit closer-Toothless didn't find them as much of a threat as he did the dragons-but if they tried to touch him, then Toothless would have a cow.

He also wouldn't let Hiccup do a lot of the things he usually did. The smaller dragon couldn't hunt, go farther than eye sight, and couldn't be near any other dragon, or human. In a way it didn't really bother him much. He usually didn't want to leave his cave anyways with it being so close to the time of having his young. The only real time he left was to chase Toothless way.

More and more Hiccup didn't want the other dragon near his nest. Hiccup would go out and cuddle with him but when it came to actually being near the den Hiccup would guard it as if it was something sacred.

Noon found the two dragons lounging in a patch of sun. As Hiccups stomach had seemed quite pronounced before it was now huge. The smaller dragon looked very uncomfortable when he walked. Toothless could tell it his stomach was putting a great deal of stress on his legs, but there was nothing he could really do, so he just offered himself as a shoulder to lean on.

"How are you feeling?" Toothless asked Hiccup softly.

"Okay I guess." Hiccup sighed, not lifting his head.

Toothless watched hi s mate and smiled. He couldn't wait to see his children. Hiccup was doing so well. If their positions had been swapped he knew without a doubt that he wouldn't be able to do half as well as Hiccup was doing. Still smiling he let his head rest on Hiccups neck.

Night had fallen slowly. In the dark of the forest Toothless watched as Hiccup paced back and forth. The smaller dragon had woke before the sun was fully below the horizon, complaining about feeling off. Hiccups stomach was going crazy with movement, which was probably the reason for Hiccups discomfort.

Growling in frustration Hiccup turned and jumped into his den. Toothless wanted to follow but the last time he had tried to follow he had nearly had his nose bit off. Sighing Toothless shook his head and smiled at the mouth of the cave. He could hear Hiccup scraping around in there. Then the noise stopped.

A low hiss sounded from the cave startling Toothless. He wasn't that close to the cave. "Hiccup are you okay?"

Another hiss, and it's more angry this time. Growling Hiccups head poked out and growled angrily at Toothless. "Leave." He growled, "Get out!" Crouching down a shocked look came across his features. A howl of pain tore from Hiccup, causing the dragon to jump. He was about to take a step towards the cave when another growl sounded from the dragon. "I said get away!" And with that Toothless dashed off throwing one last glance in Hiccups direction.

It had been going on for about an hour. Every Viking in Berk could hear the pained cries of Hiccup. It seemed as if all the work in Berk had stopped as every man , women, and child turned in the direction of the cries with a worried look.

Unlike the Vikings the dragons all waited in anticipation. When Toothless had come back without Hiccup, and then Hiccups cries of pain, every dragon knew that soon there would be little Night Furry running around. There was a wave of excitement that traveled through the atmosphere. The only dragon not completely excited about this was Toothless. Sure he was exited. He was going to be a father. What male wouldn't be, but, Hiccup sounded like he was in real pain, and it bothered him that he couldn't be there with him. So he sat perched on top of Stoicks hut.

The larger Viking watched his sons dragon as it stared intently at the forest. He could see the worry in his eyes and he knew that the dragon making the horrible noise was Hiccup.

Astrid had to laugh. It was sad how easy it was to sneak out of Berk. Everyone was so focused on the sound that they didn't even realize she had snuck out. Unlike the other Vikings she was curious. She wanted to know what was going on. So she made her way into the forest and towards the loud screams.

It didn't take long. She just sounded the sound till it got louder and louder. After a few minutes following the sound, the Viking teen walked into a mall clearing, where a fallen tree covered the opening of a cave. The tree was black where Hiccup had burned the wood.

Climbing on she peeked into the mouth of the cave only to jerk her head back. A large bluish purple ball of fire shot out of the mouth of the cave, and hit a tree. Astrid stared wide eyed at the tree then back to the mouth of the cave. Hiccup was obviously mad about something.

Swallowing hard she poked her head back into the cave only to have her jaw hit the floor figuratively. Inside the cave Hiccup was obviously distressed. All around the cave there were small puddles of what looked like blood.

Looking at Hiccup she did a double take at what she saw. Coming out of Hiccup was a blood covered head at least that's what looked like, she couldn't really tell. She looked back up at Hiccup in horror. The dragon looked like he was in a lot of pain. Hiccup grunted, and pushed. A few moments later the black figure about the size of golden retriever fell ungracefully and hit the ground.

Astrid nearly screamed at the sight. Hiccup immediately turned and began licking the small dragon.

"Oh." Astrid cooed. Bad idea. Hiccup turned and growled at the teen.

Hiccup crawled above the dragon and growled again. Fear gripped Astrid at the look Hiccup gave her. He looked like he was going to kill her. The baby must have made a noise because Hiccups attention was pulled away from her and back to his young. Astrid took this as her opportunity and jumped off the tree and ran back to Berk.

She didn't stop running till she was in front of Stoick. The man gave her a confused look. "What is it Astrid?" he asked.

"Hiccup Hiccup he's having .Hiccups having a baby!" Astrid panted.

Toothless jumped off the roof and growled at Astrid. Stoick stared at her as if she'd grown two heads. "What are you talking about?" Stoick asked grabbing her shoulders and picking her up.

Toothless growled at the teen. Why had she been so close to his mate?

"Yeah! He's having a baby. There was just so much blood! He looked like he was in so much pain."

A whine came from Toothless. Just the thought of his mate being in so much pain was hard for him. And there was nothing he could do. Hiccup didn't want him near and he wasn't going to push it. So he waited.
