I want to thank one of my reviewers, snoopykid, for unintentionally giving me the idea for this chapter! When I was brainstorming new ideas, I remembered your review about Siri possibly wanting to know how Hiccup lost his leg, and before I knew it, I came up with this, so thankyou! :p

I also want to thank everyone who has reviewed, favoured and followed this story since I started. I am honoured that so many of you like my story and I am so grateful. I never thought anyone would like my work, so having so many people reading and reviewing has made this all worthwhile. I don't know what you all like about my stories, but I'm glad you like them :)

Enjoy the chapter! :D

Chapter 10 - Imagination

It's no secret that children have very active imaginations. Whether children are playing pretend, creating their own stories based on things from their own lives or simply having imaginary friends, children are incredibly creative beings. This included Siri, who constantly amazed her parents with the lengths her mind would go in making up stories.

At 4 years old, Siri had one of the most active imaginations on Berk and was always play pretending as a dragon trainer like her father or a brave warrior like her mother. She also loved to make up stories about dragons and Vikings and act them out with the village children her age; in particular four year old Lennart; sometimes in front of a small audience in the village or just with her family. Astrid believed that this was one trait she had inherited from her father was her active imagination.

Because of this both Hiccup and Astrid should have realised that there was one issue that she would have used this talent for; Hiccup's leg.

Hiccup and Astrid had never told their daughter how her daddy had come to lose his leg, thinking the time would come when they believed she would be old enough to understand. What they didn't realise was that time came a lot sooner than either of them expected or wanted. Siri had a active imagination at the best of times, but put her with four year old Lennart and it suddenly got a whole lot wilder, which it did on one particular day, six months after her fourth birthday.

"Lennart! Lennart, get back here right now!"

Siri looked up from the book her mother was reading to her on her lap outside the house to see Anna chasing her four year old son around the village, all the while trying to hold onto her five month old son, Sigmund. Hearing the yelling, Astrid also looked up looked just as Anna stopped outside their house, looking worn out and breathless, as Lennart continued to run ahead of her.

"You alright there, Anna?" Astrid asked the young woman sympathetically. "Lennart looks like he's giving you the run around." She looked around. "Where's Snotlout?"

"Out flying with Tuff and Annika," Anna answered wearily as she watched Lennart get further and further away from her. She nodded towards his retreating figure. "Snotlout usually takes Lennart if he gets bored, but today I'm on my own. I can't keep up with both of them at the same time when he's in this mood," Anna explained with a slight sigh.

Astrid looked over at Lennart, still running around ahead of his mother. "Anna, why don't you leave Lennart with us for the day?" she suggested kindly. "I'm sure Hiccup won't mind and that way he can play with Siri. You know those two never get bored of playing Vikings and dragons," Astrid added with a chuckle and Siri's eyes lit up with this offer.

So did Anna's. "Really, you wouldn't mind?" she asked Astrid gratefully. "I wouldn't usually ask, but with Snotlout out and Lennart in this mood, you'd really be helping me out," Anna said in relief as she shifted the five month old boy in her arms.

"I don't mind Anna, really" Astrid smiled. "He's no trouble. I'll just ask Hiccup," she said with a glance towards her husband. "It's his day off, but I'm sure he won't mind." She turned to Hiccup, engrossed in a sketch he was doing while leaning up against Toothless nearby. He hadn't heard the conversation yet. Rolling her eyes with a grin, Astrid got up and went over to him, where he finally looked up at her.

"What's up Astrid?" Hiccup asked her with a smile, completely oblivious to the conversation that had just occurred.

"I know it's your day off, but you don't mind if Lennart comes over to play with Siri do you? It's just that Anna needs a break," Astrid said as she nodded towards Anna, who smiled sheepishly at the young Chief.

"It's fine with me," Hiccup said with a smile towards Anna as he stood up. "Lennart can come over whenever he wants Anna."

"Thanks Hiccup, I appreciate this," Anna said gratefully, before she turned her attention to Lennart. "Lennart!" she yelled loudly, "do you want to go over to Siri's house?!"

That got the boy's attention and he immediately stopped what he was doing and ran back to his mother, a look of excitement plastered on his face.

"That got your attention didn't it?" Anna chuckled. "Now, Hiccup and Astrid said you can play with Siri today, so you be good; promise?" Anna told him firmly.

Lennart nodded. "Yes, mummy," he said before he ran off to play with Siri.

Anna turned to Hiccup and Astrid. "If he starts acting up, just send him home. He can be a bit of a troublemaker," Anna said with a sigh, glancing over at her four year old son running around with Siri who was squealing as she tried to avoid getting caught.

"So can Siri when she wants to be," Astrid grinned. "He'll be fine, Anna. We'll drop him home before dinner."

"No, I'll get Snotlout to pick him up when he gets back," Anna said quickly. "Thanks for this Astrid," she added appreciatively as she turned to leave, just as a fine dusting of snow began to come down. Astrid waved to Anna as she hurriedly trudged through the slush on the ground, not wanting Sigmund to be exposed to the cold.

"I guess that's our cue to go inside," Hiccup said with a look at the falling snow. He turned to the kids with a smile. "Sorry kids, but it's too cold out here. You'll have to go inside and play." He ushered them towards the house where they both sighed, but went to follow Astrid inside. As Hiccup began to follow, though, Astrid's eyes suddenly widened.

"Hiccup, watch out for that-"

Hiccup's metal leg caught in a small hollow in the ground and wobbled with his weight on it, sending him sprawling; Toothless tried to catch his friend and support him, but was too slow and could only watch as he fell face first into the snowy grass.

"-hole," Astrid finished with a wince. Hiccup groaned and spat out a few blades of grass as he sat up again causing both Siri and Lennart to burst into fits of laughter and a moment later Astrid joined in, unable to help herself.

"The old metal leg strikes again it seems," Hiccup said dryly as he stood up from the ground, making Astrid just laugh harder.

"No, you just keep forgetting the hole's there, that's all!" Astrid laughed. "I've never seen anyone so accident prone in my life!"

Siri giggled too. "You're clumsy daddy!"

"Nice to know my girls have so much faith in me," Hiccup said, voice dripping sarcasm, causing Astrid and Siri to burst into fits of laughter again, as did Lennart who was looking at Hiccup's metal leg in wonder. Why did he have a metal leg anyway? He would ask Siri; she'd know.

After a moment, Astrid finally calmed down, before she gave her husband a grin. "We do have faith in you; we just know you're accident prone" Astrid said in amusement, making Hiccup groan, but grin at his wife as he gave her a tender kiss on the lips, before bending down and kissing his daughter's cheek, making her giggle.

"I'm not that clumsy, am I sweetie?" Hiccup asked her with a chuckle.

Siri grinned at her father."Yes, you are, daddy," she said honestly.

Hiccup shook his head. "I feel the love sweetie, thankyou," Hiccup said dryly, but he beamed and picked his daughter up, tickling her which made her squeal in fits of laugher again as he and Astrid brought her and Lennart inside from the cold flurries of snow.

"Sorry that you two have to play inside, but it's too cold outside now. Just play what you want in here, but be careful alright?" Hiccup said as he, Astrid and Toothless went to sit down by the downstairs fire while Siri and Lennart sat on her blanket on the floor.

"We will daddy," Siri said with a smile as she and Lennart began their usual game of dragons and Vikings for a moment, before Lennart looked at Hiccup and then back at Siri.

"Siri, where did your daddy's leg go?" Lennart asked his friend curiously.

Siri looked up at Lennart with a look of surprise on her face. None of the other kids had ever asked her that and she didn't know the answer either. Her daddy's metal leg was just there. It was so normal to her that she had never really thought about it, but now it got her thinking; where had her daddy's leg gone? Her parents had never told her about it and all she knew was that he had lost it long before she was born.

"I don't know," Siri admitted, "it's been like that for a long time. Mummy and daddy never told me what happened," Siri said with a frown.

"When did he lose it?" Lennart asked curiously

Siri gave a shrug. "I don't know. A long time ago, before I was born. Daddy never says why, but he always makes funny jokes about it. Like when he falls," Siri giggled, remembering the incident outside.

"Maybe it fell off!" Lennart suggested. "Can legs do that?" Lennart asked with wide eyes.

Siri eyes widened in shock at the suggestion, before she laughed. "Legs can't just fall off!" Siri giggled. "If they could, no one would have one!"

Lennart frowned in thought, well as much thought as a four year old could anyway. Then he looked around the room and spotted Toothless asleep in the corner of the room where Siri followed his gaze and knowing what he was thinking, gasped.

"Toothless didn't bite my daddy's leg off!" Siri protested. "He loves my daddy. It would have been another bad dragon," Siri said as she looked at Lennart, who frowned in annoyance.

"It wasn't my daddy's dragon! Hooky is only naughty listening to my daddy. He loves your daddy!" Lennart replied in a huff.

Siri giggled. "I was only being silly," she said. "Maybe it was a wild dragon?" she suggested. "Maybe daddy tried to save mummy and it took my daddy's leg?"

"Maybe," Lennart said with a nod. "My daddy said dragons and people use to fight so maybe a naughty dragon took your daddy's leg like they took your Uncle Gobber's," Lennart said.

"Why doesn't daddy hate dragons then? If a dragon took it, wouldn't he hate Toothless?" said Siri mystified.

"I don't know, maybe it wasn't a dragon. Maybe it was a pirate!" Lennart exclaimed dramatically.

Siri frowned. "My daddy's never mentioned a pirate," she said. "Maybe it was an accident?" Siri suggested quietly as she suddenly looked down at her left hand where there was a faint, small scar that stretched from her knuckles to the centre of the back of her hand where she had hurt herself a year ago trying to use her mother's axe.

"An accident?" Lennart asked, perplexed.

Siri showed him her scar. "I hurt myself being naughty with mummy's axe a little ago," she explained. "Mummy was very scared when I did and she kept saying about daddy's leg. Maybe he accidently lost his leg playing around with an axe too and that's why mummy and daddy were so scared," Siri wondered sadly.

"I hurt myself on daddy's sword once, and my mummy was scared and I don't think my mummy and daddy have lost their legs," Lennart said.

Siri looked thoughtfully at her parents and nodded. "I guess so, but how did daddy lose his leg?" Siri asked Lennart before her eyes suddenly widened.

"Daddy's very clumsy, maybe he got it stuck somewhere. He always says he'll lose another one if he's not careful," Siri said with wide eyes, turning her attention to her daddy, talking to her mummy on the wooden couch in the room; her mummy's head lying on his chest.

Lennart followed her line of sight and he stuck out his tongue in disgust at the scene.

"Eww," he shuddered. "Are your mummy and daddy always like that?" Lennart asked his friend in disgust making Siri burst into fits of giggles.

"Not all the time," she giggled. "Mummy and daddy sometimes fight, but not for long. Daddy gets scared of mummy mad," Siri said with another round of giggles.

"You think your mummy could have done it?" Lennart whispered jokingly and Siri went silent for a moment, before bursting into fits of giggles along with Lennart, falling back onto the floor laughing.

"No way!" Siri said breathlessly and Lennart grinned again just as Hiccup and Astrid looked up at the laughing pair with confused looks on their faces.

"What are you two laughing at?" Astrid asked them and the two 4 year olds looked at them with innocent grins.

"Nothing mummy," Siri told them innocently. Hiccup and Astrid looked at each other with an amused look, but let them go, keeping an ear on the conversation in the process, though.

Siri looked back at Lennart before giving him a playful punch on the arm with a grin. "That was mean Lennart, why did you say that!" Siri laughed.

Lennart winced at the contact of Siri's fist but grinned at his friend. "I was joking," he grinned. "My mummy threatens my daddy when he's being annoying," Lennart added, leaving Siri once again to try and hold back a laugh.

'Yeah, but she doesn't do anything Lennie!" Siri grinned and Lennart blushed at Siri's nickname for him, before laughing.

"Maybe a troll ate daddy's leg?" Siri said with a gasp and Lennart snorted, in a way very much like his father.

"They steal socks Siri. Like they steal your Uncle Gobber's," Lennart stated matter-of-factly.

"Oh yeah."

"Daddy told me about nasty plants he's seen flying once. Your daddy could have had his leg eaten by a plant," Lennart said.

"Or an animal," Siri said. "Daddy use to go out in the forest a lot." Siri frowned. "A plant?" Siri questioned.

Lennart shrugged. "Maybe a plant suddenly grabbed your daddy's leg and ate it?" Lennart said, his imagination, like Siri's, now running wild. Siri gasped at the thought of her daddy losing his leg to a plant and Lennart grinned mischievously and started to snap at Siri like that plant, before he started chasing her. Siri squealed and ran off, Lennart chasing after her, their theories forgotten in their minds for now.

They weren't forgotten in Hiccup and Astrid's minds, though. Having eavesdropped on the kid's conversation after Siri had laughed earlier, Astrid was now looking at Hiccup with a look of amusement on her face, Hiccup looking back at her with an identical expression.

"Is she...trying to guess how I lost my leg?" Hiccup asked, amazed.

Astrid nodded with an odd expression on her face. "I guess her imagination doesn't just stop with her games now," she sighed. "We should have known that she'd use it to guess what happened to your leg," Astrid said.

Hiccup wasn't deterred though and he grinned. "I like some of them actually, they're more interesting. Especially the one where they thought it was you," Hiccup said grinning cheekily and Astrid snorted and hit him on the arm with a smile, before her face turned serious.

"Hiccup, as much as I love our daughter's imagination, I think it's time she knew the truth," she said. "She's getting curious Hiccup and we can't have her thinking like that her whole life. You lost your leg saving us and were a hero. She needs to know that about her daddy," Astrid said quietly as she lay her head back on Hiccup's chest and Hiccup sighed as he wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulders, kissing her hair softly.

'I thought we weren't going to tell her until she's ready though?" Hiccup said with a nervous edge to his voice and Astrid turned her gaze up to meet Hiccup's eyes.

"She's going to be 5 this year Hiccup and she's already guessing. I think it's time to tell her the truth. She's ready Hiccup, believe me," Astrid said gently and Hiccup sighed , but nodded in agreement with his wife.

"Alright, if you think it's for the best," Hiccup sighed. "Do you want to tell her and Lennart together now or later?"

Astrid looked at the two kids chasing each other around the room and back at Hiccup. "I think Lennart should hear it too. Siri may try to tell him later and it may get lost in translation and who knows wild that could get," Astrid chuckled.

Hiccup laughed before he turned to the kids, now sitting down on the blanket, breathless from all the running around they just did.

"Siri, Lennart, could you two come over here?" Hiccup asked them gently and Siri and Lennart looked at each other worriedly, before getting up and going over to the couple.

"Did we do something wrong, daddy?" Siri asked her father anxiously.

Hiccup smiled reassuringly at her. "No sweetie, you didn't," he reassured her with a smile. "It's just mummy and I heard you two talking about how I lost my leg. You came up with some wild ideas there didn't you?" Hiccup asked them in amusement.

"We were just being silly daddy," Siri said quickly with quick glance at Lennart. "Lennart asked me how you lost it and I didn't know, so we tried to guess ourselves. Did we get it right?" Siri asked, her bright blue eyes wide in astonishment.

"No, not quite sweetheart, but you're right that you didn't know,' Astrid said. "We weren't going to tell you until you were older, but we think it's time for you to know. If that's alright with you?" Astrid asked them gently.

Siri's eyes widened in excitement and so did Lennart's.

"Can I hear it too, Miss Astrid?" Lennart asked hopefully and Astrid smiled at the little boy.

"Yes, you can sweetie," Astrid said kindly and Siri quickly got up on her father's lap, while Astrid allowed Lennart to sit on hers.

"I'm really going to know how you lost your leg daddy?" Siri asked her father in awe.

Hiccup gave her a loving kiss on her forehead with a nod. "Mummy thinks you're ready, so we're going to tell you. Now, do you remember the stories I tell you about when we use to fight dragons?" Hiccup asked her and she and Lennart nodded solemnly. Snotlout and Anna had told their son the stories as well and it was hard to believe how much had changed in that time.

"Do you also remember the story about how your daddy beat the Red Death and brought peace between us and the dragons?" Astrid asked them as she turned to Lennart, who frowned for a moment, before his face brightened as he too remembered the story.

"Yes, you said daddy won and we became friends with the dragons," Siri nodded. "Was that when daddy lost his leg?" Siri asked, her bright blue eyes wide in shock.

"We only told you daddy won, but we didn't tell you the full story," Astrid told her gently as she looked down at the two children. "Do you remember how we said that we arrived just in time to warn everyone about the Red Death and save Toothless before your daddy fought the dragon up in the clouds?"

Siri nodded. "Daddy fought the Red Death and won," Siri recalled.

"Well, that's all we told you because you were too young," Astrid explained softly. "Now," she continued, taking a deep breath. "Your daddy did fight the Red Death in the cloud and was winning too. Toothless shot a plasma blast into the dragon's mouth..."

"...and it exploded!" Siri finished eagerly for her mother and Astrid and Hiccup smiled at their daughter. She remembered all the stories well.

"Well, the dragon exploded sweetie and I removed Toothless's tail as it was damaged," Hiccup continued. "I thought we were going to make it out of there, but the Red Death's tail hit us all of a sudden and I was knocked off Toothless into the fire from the dragon exploding. All I remember is Toothless trying to save me as I fell into the fire before I blacked out," Hiccup said quietly, his face going blank for a second as he recalled the moment.

Siri's eyes widened in shock, as did Lennart. Neither child had been told of that and they were hanging on the parents every word.

Astrid looked at Hiccup and took a deep breath before continuing the story. It may have all happened eleven years before, but this story was still difficult to tell for the young woman.

"Well, after it exploded, we all rushed to see where your daddy and Toothless ended up," Astrid said. "We found Toothless by the explosion, his prosthetic tail fin gone and him injured and in pain, with...with your daddy nowhere in sight. We all thought that he hadn't survived the explosion," Astrid explained, her voice wavering as she spoke.

Siri and Lennart looked up at Astrid and were surprised to see her suddenly bring a hand up to her mouth trying to stifle a sob that had let its way out of her mouth, her azure eyes filling with tears as she remembered that moment. A moment she had tried so hard to forget in those years afterward. The one moment that she had let herself show her emotions in one moment in front of everyone for the first time in many years.

Hiccup took a hold of his wife's hand, and brought it up to his lips in a soft kiss, before wrapping his arm around her shoulders in comfort.

"Ssh, it's alright Astrid, I'm still here," Hiccup whispered to his wife softly. "Well, most of me is," he added with a chuckle and Astrid suddenly laughed. He always made that joke whenever they talked about this and strangely enough, it never got old. Siri looked at her mummy sadly, before moving from her daddy's lap to her mummy's and giving her a hug, while Lennart moved next to Hiccup, a little confused as to why Astrid was acting like this, but remaining silent for once in his life.

"Why are you so sad mummy? Daddy's right here," Siri asked her in confusion and Astrid chuckled.

"She knows that sweetie, it's just remembering that day is hard for her is all," Hiccup explained gently to the little girl. "I guess seeing it was pretty bad. All I know about is from what people have told me."

"So, what happened after that? Lennart interrupting them and Siri frowned at her friend.

"Lennart, my mummy is sad!" Siri exclaimed in annoyance, but Astrid stopped her.

"I'm fine Siri; Lennart just wants to know the rest. I'm alright now," Astrid smiled, before continuing.

"...Now, after we found Toothless, we didn't know where your daddy was. After awhile though, he opened his wings and revealed him. It turns out he'd caught your daddy and saved him from the flames," Astrid explained with a smile in Toothless's direction who returned it with a gummy grin. "Toothless saved his life, but there was one thing he couldn't save; his leg. Toothless had to take it to save your father..."

Siri eyes widened as she and Lennart exchanged glances. So it was Toothless! Sort of. He's had no choice Siri pointed out to herself.

"...Your daddy saved us all that day sweetheart, but he lost his leg in the process," Astrid said proudly as she gave her husband a wide smile, before kissed his cheek.

Hiccup smiled back at her. "The next thing I remember is waking up in my house, Toothless beside me a few weeks later with a metal leg," Hiccup explained. "It took some getting use too, but I'm proud of it as it reminds me of that day," Hiccup said with a smile.

Siri broke into a large grin. "Daddy, you're a hero!" Siri said joyfully, which actually made Hiccup blush bright red which made Astrid giggle.

"You were so brave sir," Lennart said in awe.

Hiccup chuckled in embarrassment. "Well, now you two know the full story. I hope it's as exciting as how you two thought I'd lost my leg," Hiccup said. "Although I admit the plant thing was pretty cool," Hiccup said with a grin, making the two 4 year olds laugh.

"Its better daddy," Siri said beaming as she gave both her parents a kiss on the cheek, before she slid off Astrid's lap and ran off with Lennart. As Hiccup and Astrid watched them, they realised the truth had given way to a new version of their Vikings and dragons game with Hiccup saving them all, but losing his leg.

"Why were we so scared of telling her the truth again?" Hiccup asked his wife in amazement as he watched the kids play their new game.

"I have no idea to be honest," Astrid said with a chuckle and Hiccup smiled at her gently, before kissing her forehead.

"You alright from earlier?" he asked her softly as he cupped her cheek. "I didn't realise that still made you feel that way."

"I didn't either," Astrid admitted with a sad sigh, "but I think it always will. I'm alright though," she added, before she grinned mischievously and hit him hard on the arm, making him wince.

"Oww, Astrid!" Hiccup rubbed his arm. "What was that for this time?" .

"Making me remember things I didn't want to remember," Astrid grinned.

"Actually that was Siri's doing," Hiccup pointed out.

"Well, I'm not going to blame her now though, am I?" Astrid said grinning and Hiccup rolled his eyes with a laugh.

"No you're not, milady," he admitted with a smile. "I'm sorry that I made you cry though. Why is always me that does?" Hiccup asked her, mystified.

Astrid shrugged. "Because I love you, and you make me more emotional than anyone else?" Astrid suggested, before her eyes widened at what she just said. "Where did that come from?" she exclaimed with a laugh. "I sound like I've been married for more than 6 years!"

Hiccup laughed. "That's the weirdest 'I love you' I've ever heard!" he chortled, making her blush. "Astrid, don't worry," he said to her with a warm smile. "I don't see you as weak for being upset earlier. You're not weak, it just upsets you." He stroked her cheek softly making her smile. "Heck, you kicked my butt in combat training the other day, as you always do. You're still the best warrior out there," Hiccup said with a smile.

Astrid smiled back. "Don't you forget it either," she said with a false accusatory tone.

Hiccup put his hands up in defence. "Never will, I promise you," Hiccup said as he leant forward and met lips with Astrid's and she went to protest, but a moment later, her eyes slid shut and she kissed him back with all the passion she could manage.

"Eww mummy, you're grossing us out," Siri said with a look of disgust and Hiccup and Astrid both snorted with laughter as they broke off their interrupted kiss, looking down at the two four year olds revolted expressions.

"No more kissing in front of the kids it seems," Astrid grinned and Hiccup pretended to sigh, making Siri and Lennart laugh, before going back to their game.

They didn't get to play for long though as only a few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Lennart sighed knowing it was most likely his father coming to pick him up. He was having too much fun!

"Looks like the snow brought your daddy home early Lennart," Astrid said as she got up to answer the door where, sure enough, Snotlout was standing out the front in heavy snow. Snowflakes were attached to his hair, making it look white and he was breathing out mist. The snow must have gotten a lot worse in the previous few hours without the household noticing.

"Wow, I didn't realise the snow had gotten worse. Get in here Snotlout," Astrid ushered him in quickly.

"Thanks," he said as he quickly came in. "It's only just gotten worse, so I thought I'd better get home. Anna told me Lennart was over here. How's he been?" Snotlout asked them as he looked over at his son playing with Siri on the floor.

"He's been fine Snotlout. He and Siri have just been using their wildest imaginations, that's all," Astrid said with a grin.

Snotlout frowned. "How so?"

"It seems the kids were coming up with their own versions for how I lost my leg,' Hiccup said. "Very interesting versions too, I might add." He looked over at the two giggling kids.

"I hope they didn't go too crazy," Snotlout said uneasily.

"Don't worry Snotlout, they were just joking around," Hiccup said. "But we told them the full story. I hope you don't mind," Hiccup said anxiously with a look towards his friend who shrugged undeterred, before shaking his head.

"Nah, its fine. Anna and I were going to tell him soon anyway" Snotlout said reassuringly, before he turned to his son. "What did you think of the story Len?"

Lennart beamed at his father. "It was a lot cooler than what we thought daddy".

Snotlout chuckled and then looked at Siri. "What did you think about how your daddy lost his leg, Siri?" he asked the four year old who smiled proudly, her eyes lighting up.

"Uncle Snotlout, my daddy is a hero".

Alright, considering I came up with this at the last minute after the shelving of an original planned storyline, I hope it was alright :)

I also apologise in the fact that I always seem to make Astrid OOC in some chapters. I do believe that she would get upset over this, but I really need to give her a break :p I promise that I will try to keep her in character from now on though.

Ok, next chapter Siri will have just turned 5, and getting what she wants at last, her own Terrible Terror! Also people have been asking me when and if Astrid will have another baby, and that answer is YES! I'm not going to tell you when as it will ruin the surprise, but I can promise you it will be very soon! :)

As always, if you liked this chapter, please review! :) NO FLAMES though, but constructive criticism is appreciated, as long as it's KIND

Thanks for reading! :D
