The Biker: A new chapter
Our anniversary
A few months later
Hiccup puzzled in front two possible gifts for his anniversary and simply couldn't make up his mind. Should he go with the necklace or earrings? Should he go with something else instead? He knew Astrid wasn't really into jewellery and he wanted to give her something she would like.
"Earring or necklace? Maybe I should get something else?" Hiccup thought and stared inside the case
"Dad," Lily said pulling his hand
"Hm?" Hiccup mumbled looking down at her, "What's wrong, Lily?"
"Can we go?" She whined pulling some more
"I need to pick something for mom," Hiccup said taking her hand. Lily pout and saw her father going down to her level, "What do you think mom would like? The necklace or earrings?"
"Hm...?" Lily walked towards the case and stared at the two items. She walked back to her father and held his cheeks.
"Lily?" He asked a bit confused
"The earrings, daddy," Lily said moving her hands around his cheeks, "Can we have ice cream?"
"Okay," He said moving her small hands down, "But I have to pay for the earrings first."
"Hurry!" Lily whined and started to pout
"You can wait, Lily," Hiccup smiled and passed his hand on top of her head. He pointed to the earrings and waited for the woman to ring up the price. Lily sighed and looked around the jewellery store in boredom.
"Daddy..." Lily whined and pulled his hand.
"Almost done, Lily," Hiccup said taking out his debit card. Hiccup smiled and looked down at his impatient little girl.
"Here you go," the woman said handing Hiccup the small bag.
"Thank you," Hiccup said taking the bag from her, "Alright, let's go, Lily."
Lily smiled nodding her head and held Hiccup's hand. She didn't understand why her father was buying such an expensive gift. Her father would buy her mother gifts on occasion but nothing this expensive.
"Dad? Why did you get that gift?" She asked while they headed to the ice cream shop
"Because it's a special day for us," Hiccup explained with a smile, "Do you know what it is?"
"No," she said shaking her head with her pigtails moving.
"Today is the anniversary when I married mom," Hiccup said and hoped his explanation will make some sense.
"What's... anni...annivpersary?" Lily asked with her face wincing, as she tried to pronounce this strange word.
"It's anniversary," Hiccup said much slower for Lily to hear the pronunciation, "Anniversary is when we celebrate a special day every year. I married mom today but that was a few years ago, and that's why I'm getting her a gift."
"Oh," Lily nod her head slightly
"Now, let's get some ice cream and head home," Hiccup said opening the door for her, "After you, miss."
Haddock home
Astrid sighed and looked down at the burnt food. She wanted to surprise Hiccup with a dinner, she had made on her own. But she didn't think she would burn the food to a crisp, or charcoal black.
"I should just leave the cooking to Hiccup..." Astrid whispered opening the trash can. She sighed some more and threw the burnt food away.
"I can't even cook! Ugh! I should really take cooking lessons," Astrid sighed deeply and washed the burnt pan. She wanted to make this day special for Hiccup, it was their anniversary after all.
"We're home!" Hiccup shouted while opening the door. He shook his head seeing Lily run in the house. He had told her numerous times not to run inside of the house since she could slip and hurt herself. "Lily, don't run in the house!" Hiccup said closing the door behind him.
"Okay!" Lily shouted running upstairs to her room and completely ignoring what her father just said.
"Kids," Hiccup whispered walking to the kitchen. He smiled and placed his bag down when he smells something strange. "What's that smell?" He asked kissing his wife on the cheek.
"Don't look in the trash and I need cooking lessons... that's all you need to know," Astrid said drying her hands on a cloth. Hiccup took a moment but soon realised what had happened. He laughs softly and placed his hands on her waist.
"I don't mind cooking tonight," Hiccup said. Astrid smiled softly as she places her hands on his neck and cheek.
"You're too kind, Haddock," she said placing her head against his chest, "You're not cooking... we can just order something."
"Sounds like a plan," Hiccup said placing his hand on the back of her head.
"Happy anniversary, Hiccup," Astrid said wrapping her arms around him
"Happy anniversary, Astrid," Hiccup said softly and kissing the top of her head.
"I'll order some food and call my mother to take Lily," Astrid said parting from him with a smile, "And then we can celebrate together."
"Lily's going to be mad," Hiccup said laughing slightly, "Remember, how she ignored us for a day because she missed take out on night?"
"She probably gets it from you," Astrid teased picking up the phone
"Me? Wait... who does it get it from?" Hiccup asked and took a moment to think, "Maybe it's her own personality."
"Either way, we can handle Lily tomorrow," Astrid said dialling her mother's number first.
Half an hour later
"Lily," Hiccup got down on one knee, so he could at the same level of his pouty daughter. He already knew Lily would be angry at them, one for missing take out night, and two for going to her grandmothers on takeout night.
"Lily, this is a special night for daddy and me," Astrid said going down as well, "We love you very much but for tonight... we just want to spend it together."
"We promise we'll make up to you, tomorrow," Hiccup said and poke Lily's cheek
"Now, Lily," Astrid's mother said and looked down at the pouty girl, "One night away from your parents, won't kill you."
"You're going to have fun with grandma," Astrid said kissing Lily's cheek, "Just wait and see."
"Okay…" Lily said in defeat. Astrid smiled and hug Lily in her arms before parting from her, "Bye, mommy."
"See you later, sweetheart," Astrid said standing up
"Have fun, Lily," Hiccup said giving Lily a quick peck on the cheek, "Be good to your grandmother."
"Now, how about we celebrate?" Astrid asked pulling his arm
"A nice and quiet night together," Hiccup said giving her lips a quick kiss, "Let's do this!"
"I'll call for some takeout," Astrid said walking towards the phone
"And I'll get your gift ready," Hiccup thought with a smiled. He walked back to his bag and took out the neatly wrap present. Hiccup put it inside of his pocket and threw the bag away.
"Okay... its going to be around twenty minutes, or so," Astrid said placing the phone down.
"Movie, takeout, and make out?" Hiccup suggested
"Like on our first date?" Astrid asked smiling at him.
"Well, the make out came later..." He said with a pout. Astrid rolled her eyes and kissed him on the lips. She has been married to Hiccup for eight years, but it only seems it was just yesterday she said, 'I do" to him. "I was thinking we could go back to where he had our first date... but a stripe mall is being build, so..." Hiccup said in a sigh.
"Don't worry about it, babe," Astrid said placing her hand on his chest, "Home is perfect fine."
"What should we watch?" Hiccup asked smiling as he held her hand.
"The first movie we've seen together," she said sitting down on the sofa.
"Your read my mind, milady," Hiccup said. Hiccup took out their very first movie they've seen together. He put the movie inside the DVD player and sat down beside Astrid.
"It feels like we're on our first date," Astrid said as she leans her head against his shoulder. Hiccup smiled softly and placed his hand around her.
"With you hating me less," Hiccup commented.
"And just like that! You ruined the moment," Astrid sighed in annoyance with her eyes rolling. She looked up at him and gently punched him. Hiccup laugh softly and hugged his wife in his arms, before he kissed her on the cheek. "Oh... straight to make out?" Astrid asked kissing him back.
"Not yet," Hiccup said parting from her and placed two fingers on her pink lips.
"Hm... usually your eager," Astrid said moving his hand away, "But we can wait if you want."
Hiccup smiled and reach for his pocket when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and paid the delivery boy before walking back to the sofa.
"Take out!" Hiccup said putting the food down.
"Finally," Astrid said taking a container and opening it. She grabs a pair of chopsticks and mixed the fried noodles with veggies. She moved the chopsticks and held the noodles within them. "Open," Astrid said moving the container and chopsticks closer to his mouth.
"No surprise, you know what I like," Hiccup said as he opened his mouth and ate the noodles.
"I can't cook but I know your favourite foods," Astrid said eating some noodles herself. Hiccup grab a container of spring rolls and offered Astrid one.
"Spring roll?" He asked. Astrid nodded and took the roll from his hand, and ate It with delight. As the credits rolled on screen, Hiccup and Astrid had eaten most of the take-out food. They were currently lip locked with their hands holding each other.
"What are you doing?" Astrid asked noticing Hiccup's hand was searching his pants, "Can't you wait for a bit, or are you too eager to get to the fun part?"
"Hold on," Hiccup said parting from her. He sat up and took out the box from his pocket. Hiccup sat back down and gave the small box to her. "Happy anniversary, Astrid," Hiccup said smiling as he eagerly waited for her reaction.
"For me? Hiccup, you didn't have to... I didn't get your anything... well, the dinner was supposed to be your gift." Astrid said remembering her fail attempt to cook.
"Just open the box, Hofferson," Hiccup said rolling his eyes.
"Its Haddock, Hector," Astrid said pointing at him. She smiled opening the small box only to reveal a pair of beautiful earrings. Astrid took out one of the earrings to get a better look of it. "Its beautiful, Hiccup," she said staring at the twist heart sharp earrings.
"Lily help me pick them," Hiccup said watching Astrid putting the earrings on, "Oh... they're very beautiful on you."
"Thank you, dear," Astrid said wrapping her arms around him, "They're stunning! Happy anniversary."
"Eight amazing years," he said kissing the top of her head
"And many more years to come," She said placing her hands on his neck. Hiccup gently placed his hand on her's as the two kissed each other. Astrid didn't have an item to give to her husband, but she can give something else. "let's go..." Astrid whispered with her eyes quickly pointing to the bedroom.
"Gladly," he said as he held her hand. Hiccup blushed lightly as he was led to the bedroom.
