Here you go! The next chapter! :D Enjoy it. ;)
The fifth month.
I saw Rye a few days later last month, and it was interesting.
I swept the floors, this house was constantly filling with dirt. Astrid was sharpening her axe in the chair by the fire. My red dress was perfectly shaped to hide the baby, my short hair was let loose, and I had colored my lips bright red from a mixture of thin clay, paint, and berry juices. Interesting texture that's for sure.
I move the broom under the dining table when 'WHAM!' The door opens and shakes the house. Dad is outside fetching Thornado, and Hiccup is in the house in an instance.
"Rye's fishing boat has crashed on the other side of the village, we need you two there, come on, we'll ride Toothless!" Hiccup exclaims and grabs a scythe from the barrel by the door.
He picks up Astrid and hands me the scythe, and we all dash out of the house.
"Where are Astrid and It's dragons?" I ask. Hiccup glances back at me, "Off playing..." He grumbles. I nod and follow him to Toothless.
"The rest of the gang is already there retrieving pieces of the broken ship." Hiccup states and places Astrid on Toothless's back. I hop on in front of her and Hiccup swings a leg over us as we duck and straddles the dragons neck.
Hiccup launches Toothless into the sky and we take off. Astrid grunts and squeezes my middle, "Careful of the baby Astrid.." I say with a quick gasp.
"Sorry." Astrid stammers and loosens her grip. Toothless dodges some birds and gives a small roaring sound. Hiccup stands up a bit, he makes a quick turn and I feel myself moving.
"AAAH! HICCUP!" Astrid screams. I look to see her flying off of Toothless, all of the sudden falling.
Without anyone holding on to me or me holding on to anyone I slip sideways accidentally. "Hiccup!" I say exaggerating the syllables as I feel my leg lose its grip on Toothless and I start to fall as well.
Hiccup's head snaps around as he watches both the women in his life fall off his dragon.
He has to choose! Belle or Astrid, Belle or Astrid, Belle or Astrid!
He shoots Toothless downward, he urges him towards the ground quicker, he stands up, almost falling off his dragon, when his hands grip her arms.
He pulls Astrid up onto Toothless where she grips him, hugging him close, as they face each other. Hiccup doesn't waste time, he turns to search the air quickly for Isabella.
To his shocking and utter dismay he can't find her.
I want to cry, I know Hiccup isn't going to catch me. He went for Astrid, I just watched him catch her.
I'm going to die. Four months pregnant, heir of the chief, fell to her death. Lovely thought... I feel a hand grab me, I look expecting to see Hiccup grinning at me because he saved me, but instead,
"I got ya' sweetheart." Dad says and pulls me onto Thornado.
He swings me around behind him and I hug him tight, enjoying the feeling of his slightly singed fur vest.
"I got her!" Dad yells upward to Hiccup. Hiccup's head stares down at us, grinning. "Great!"
We fly off to meet Rye, I keep a grip on dad's vest. But because of our falling mishap, the wreck was nearly cleaned up and they didn't really need us.
I jumped off Thornado and stood there, Rye was staring at his sunken ship. Astrid's hand landed on my shoulder, "Don't go running back to him just like that." She whispers to me.
Ruffnut walks over to us, we are the only three decent looking young women on Berk, of course even more beautiful women probably live elsewhere, but we are apparently 'gorgeous' according to everyone.
Ruffnut stares at my face, "What?" I ask. She smirks and says, "Face paint. Like the other women, those are some red lips. What'd ya make it out of?" She asks me.
I chuckle, "Berries, red and a couple purple, sweet honey, and clay." Disgusting recipe, but my lips are bright red now. Match my red dress, which I am currently wearing...
Rye turns around, and upon seeing me strides over to us. "Hello Belle, you look, great." He says. Astrid and Ruffnut turn me around, and we start walking away, their arms on my shoulders.
I stare at my feet as we walk, I can almost feel Rye's gaze on me. Ruffnut turns her head and looks at Rye with a glare. "You lost your chance with Belle." She says to him.
We walk away, and soon Ruffnut has to join her twin. Hiccup and dad join us.
And that was what happened last month, but now I'm five months pregnant.
I turn over in bed, I can't sleep on my stomach anymore. Ugh...
Hiccup moves the blanket and lets the cool air flow over his bare chest. Astrid stirs awake, "Hiccup, you are kind of making me sore. Can you go sleep somewhere else?" She asks her husband gently. Hiccup nods and stands up.
He walks out of the room and steps in to another.
"Hiccup?" I ponder even though I know who it is. Hiccup scooches me over in the bed and lays down beside me.
"I couldn't sleep." He says. I look into his green eyes. "Good. Neither could I." I reply. We lay there in silence until I decide to ask him a question.
"Hiccup, are you ever tired of dealing with something?" I ask him. He looks at me and pushes some hair out of my face. "Are you?" He replies in question.
I laugh quietly, "I'm tired of throwing up my breakfast and wanting typically disgusting food." He laughs at my answer and then he looks at me with the tiniest smile.
"I'm tired of walking with a limp. Every day for the rest of my life..." He replies. We burst out giggling for some reason. And then I stop.
I reach over and hug him, we press up close to each other, enjoying the enclosure. My tubby stomach rubs against is sculpted abs years of hard work pays off in looks.
All of the sudden we both wince. "Ow!" Hiccup says, I grin. "Hiccup! That was the baby! We felt it kick!" I exclaim happily.
Hiccup's face lights up and he kisses me on the forehead. "Well, when this child is old enough. We can tell it, 'I remember the first time I felt you move, you kicked Uncle Hiccup in the stomach.' Right?" I say.
Hiccup puts a hand on my stomach under the blanket. "I like that, Uncle Hiccup. Just as much as I like Mommy Isabella." He says, and to punctuate it we feel another kick, and it makes me tingle with excitement.
Alright, you have read this chapter. The next one will be out when I can figure out what to write next.
I want to say something, after Isabella's baby is born, the story will continue for a bit. But then I'm going to end it, and start up a new story, please don't freak out! This story, is seven years after this, (WOW. Belle will be thirteen years older than the first story.) and shows off Isabella's child. This story, I love it. It is my pride and soul poured into it, and you must know I still have no intentions of ending it. We could have generations of Haddock's go by before I end it.
But for now, the Haddock family is going nowhere.
