NOTE: I OWN NOTHING!

Baby's First Steps (Ten Months Old)

Serpent and Serpentine both cooed as Elias II Stoick Fiersome waved his little arms up at them, asking for permission to pet the Zippleback. Edgar and Henna both smiled as their son was granted permission to pet Serpent and Serpentine. Zenna, El's older sister, was watching her baby brother happily crawl all over Stryka while squealing happily.

"Odin's beard, he's getting big…" Edgar chuckled as he watched El blow a raspberry at Stryka. "He is, isn't he, love? It won't be long until he's old enough to have his own dragon," Henna smiled. "And you two are going to be…Holy Shields, you guys are going to be so old," Zenna joked while Stryka made a funny face at El who giggled adorably.

Edgar laughed at his daughter's tease. "Aye, old age is the enemy of any strong man," he said jovially. "Well, at least we have a daughter who is a doctor to care for us in our old age even when she's married," Henna smiled. "Now that's a job I can handle," Zenna grinned before Serpent and Serpentine warbled excitedly.

The family looked in time to see El stand up. "Well would you look at that!" Edgar grinned. El giggled, liking this new standing up position. He could see more things now and he felt taller! And, at that moment, Hiccup and Toothless both happened to pass by. El cooed as the Chief and the Alpha passed by at a considerably far distance, their backs facing him as they went off to do some joint-chiefing together.

Next to his Uncle Eret, El absolutely adored his Uncle Hiccup! Whenever he was around, Uncle Hiccup always had a cool new invention or toy for him to tinker and play with. And, in fact, Zenna, her family and all of the other Riders theorized that El may have inherited Hiccup's intelligence as the little boy was already capable of doing things highly advance for his age. At three months, El already knew how to answer simple arithmetic questions by using his fingers to give out the numbers. At six months, he was already learning how to read silently and could already scribble down the Runic Alphabet. And at nine months, El had discovered the joys of drawing when Hiccup gave him one of his blank journals and a box of crayons and showed him how to draw Toothless and Stryka.

Needless to say, El loved Uncle Hiccup and Uncle Hiccup loved him right back.

Wanting to have his Uncle Hiccup and Toothless join him in playtime, El lifted one little foot up into the air…and took a single step.

Zenna's eye nearly popped out of its socket while Edgar and Henna's mouths dropped open. Stryka and Serpent and Serpentine crooned encouragingly as El took another step.

"Those are his first steps…" Henna murmured, looking at her equally gobsmacked husband. Then Zenna shouted, "HOLY SHIELDS, EL'S TAKING HIS FIRST STEPS!" in the loudest and most excited tone ever. "Hiccup! Chief, turn around!" Edgar yelled, excited as well, as El began to waddle towards the young man. Hearing Edgar's yells, Hiccup turned around. His emerald green eyes widened at the sight of El, his sweet and adorable nephew, wobbling on over to him on his little chubby legs. El was laughing happily, keeping both arms out at his sides to aid his balance, as his steps became steadier and he took his first long walk.

"El?" Hiccup blinked at the little baby boy in surprise. "Let him come to you, Chief!" Edgar and Henna told him, the two of them grinning widely. Zenna was practically bouncing about with glee. "Those are his first steps, Hicc! El's first steps!" she squealed in excitement.

Now Hiccup got really excited and began to bounce on his toes as El slowly made progress. The dragons were now roaring excitedly as they watched the little Fiersome hatchling walk for the first time.

"Go, El! Go, go, go!" "That's it, son! You can do it!" "Go, little bro, go!" Henna, Edgar and Zenna cheered their little baby boy on. El cooed happily as he neared his goal. "That's it, El! Come on, buddy! Come to Uncle Hiccup!" Hiccup grinned widely as he squatted down on the ground with his arms wide open. With just a few steps left, El was determined to turn his walking into running. With a happy squeal, El sprinted the last few steps right into his Uncle Hiccup's open arms.

"Yay! Yay! Yay! Hip hip hooray!" Edgar and Henna whooped while Zenna did a backflip of sheer joy. Hiccup was all smiles as he lifted El up high, his little nephew shrieking with delight. "You did it, buddy! I'm so proud of you!" he laughed as Zenna and her parents rushed over to them with similar happy expressions on their faces along with their dragons.

"Not yet talking but you're already walking! El, my boy, you never cease to amaze us!" Edgar laughed as his son gurgled happily and grabbed at his fingers. "El, you're such a smart little one! You're going to do great things when you grow up, sweetheart…" Henna cooed and gently kissed El's button nose. Zenna then patted her baby brother's soft black curls and whispered, "You are amazing, baby brother…"

El giggled and gave Zenna a raspberry kiss. Toothless, Stryka and Serpent and Serpentine all cooed and nuzzled little El. Then Hiccup got an idea to let El exercise his newfound walking ability. Gently setting El down on the ground, Hiccup got Edgar, Henna and Zenna to stand on three different sides forming a square with him on the lower right, Edgar lower left, Henna upper left and Zenna on the upper right.

Hiccup smiled, patting El's soft black curls, and pointed at Edgar. "Go on over to your Daddy, buddy," he said to El gently. Giggling, El did as he was told and successfully walked over to his father. "That's my boy. El, you are incredible, my son. And I'm so proud," Edgar smiled and affectionately rubbed noses with his youngest son. El then walked on over to Henna who gave him a big hug. "There's my big boy!" Henna smiled softly and gently kissed El's pudgy cheeks. Then El looked at Zenna and smiled.

The one-eyed Dragon Doctor had the biggest grin on her face as she knelt down and held out her arms. "Come on, El! Big sister's here!" she called out encouragingly. El squealed and immediately began to run, his little legs pumping, over to his big sister Zenna.

But, suddenly, El tripped and fell flat on his face!

Edgar and Henna both gasped with fear as the dragons yelped as if they were the ones who had face planted. Zenna, on the other hand, anxiously held her breath as El slowly picked himself up. Back on his feet, El put his hands up to his face where he had a small bump on his forehead. But, instead of crying, El just laughed and continued running towards Zenna.

Zenna felt tears of joy and pride well up in her eye as her baby brother practically jumped into her waiting arms. Her baby brother was a tough kid, that's for sure.

Hiccup, Edgar and Henna could only beam with pride as El waved his little arms up at Zenna who fussed over his bumped forehead.

Ta-da! Little Elias II Stoick Fiersome can now walk! Bravo, baby boy! Bravo!
