Chapter 21
So a certain little Hiccup is going to be brought in and then some serious stuff is going to happen. This is just going to be a nice short chapter because there's not much I have to write about this. Anyhow here's chapter 21!
The next month went by slow and I wasn't complaining about Stoick being protective, considering what he told me during our argument. But I was just under nine months now and I was ready to get he or she out of me.
I was sitting in Stoick's chair with my feet propped up on table while I read through the Book of Dragons for the hundredth time. I yawned and looked out the window to see that it was dark, question was, where was Stoick?
I just sighed and decided to go to bed, pregnant lady wasn't going to stay up for him. I stretched in the chair, taking my feet down off the table. I gasped when I felt the fetus inside my kick hard.
I laid my hand over my stomach," Calm down in there, not too much longer."
I shook my head and stood before collapsing back into the chair feeling a painful contraction. I was breathing hard and clutching at my stomach now. I furrowed my brow and stared at the floor, attempting to slow my breathing.
I knew what was happening at that moment, I was going into labor. I needed Stoick. That was the only the on my mind was getting to Stoick.
I stood from the chair again and stumbled to the door, clenching my teeth from the pain the contractions were causing. I felt my knees going weak and wobbling, I fell to the ground crying out in pain. I laid back on the floor with my eyes shut tightly I breathed heavy now, knowing I was in too much pain to get out the door.
Toothless was outside so I did the only thing I could think to do," STOICK! HELP...! Please! Anyone!"
My voice died down and I couldn't tell anymore. I just laid on the floor and tensed every time I felt a contraction. I was breathing rapidly now and I was clenching my fists tightly.
That was when the door opened," Aurora I'm home-"
I forced my eyes to open and I looked to see Stoick standing wide eyes at the door before he ran over to me, falling to his knees at my side," Aurora! What's wrong? What's happening?"
"It's coming Stoick!" I got out before slamming my eyes shut and groaning loudly.
"Oh! Okay okay, I-I need to get you to Gothi! Right away!" He exclaimed before picking me up carefully.
He ran out the door and looked to Toothless," Toothless! I need you to get me up to Gothi, Aurora needs to get there!"
Toothless nodded and Stoick jumped on him, putting the tail in place before Toothless took off and used he well renowned speed to get us to Gothi's in seconds.
Stoick hopped off Toothless and rushed to the door, knocking with his foot. The door opened and Gothi immediately knew what was happening I guessed because she brought us in quickly and had Stoick laying me down in a bed at the back of the room.
"Toothless go get Gobber!" Stoick exclaimed to Toothless and he ran out the door.
Stoick turned to me and took my hand," You're doing fine Aurora just keep breathing."
I felt a sudden surge of anger at him and I squeezed his hand as hard as I could and I saw the hidden look of pain on his face.
"Okay I'll stop talking," He muttered as Gobber burst through the door.
"What was so important that Toothless practically drug me up here?" Gobber said before he saw us," Oh is she..? Right I'll translate Gothi for you!"
Gobber came over to my other side and watched as Gothi wrote in the sand," She's says that it'll take a few hours and that she just needs to keep breathing and that she needs a yak hide...well that shouldn't be so hard!"
Gothi sighed and smacked Gobber on the head, if I wasn't in labor I probably would've laughed," Oh! She said that she isn't fully dialated yet, whatever that means..."
Gothi sighed again and drew more in the sand," Oh, nevermind, I could've lived without knowing..."
"Thank you Gobber, you can go now if you want," Stoick said gesturing to the door with his free hand.
Gobber sat in a chair," No, I'll stick around Stoick."
Stoick shrugged," If you want to."
I sighed and closed my eyes, it was going to be a long night.
It was about an hour after midnight that I found myself back in my home, laying in bed with Stoick next to me as I held our baby boy.
"He looks a lot like you," Stoick said tracing his thumb over our sons cheek.
"He looks like you too though," I said quietly.
"A bit of both of us then," He said chuckling," What do you want to name him?"
I studied my son carefully, a part of me feared that he wouldn't make it, he was so small. I ran my thumb over his eyebrow before whispering," Hiccup."
"Hiccup?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Hiccup it is then," Stoick said placing his hand over mine.
"He's so small though Stoick, I fear he won't make it," I said quietly, intertwining my fingers with Stoick's.
He pulled my hand up against his chest," He will, in fact I'm sure that he'll become the strongest of them all."
"You really believe so?" I asked looking back at him.
"I know so," He said smiling.
I smiled back at him before looking back at Hiccup and nuzzling my up against Stoick.
I felt Stoick's finger on my chin and he turned my head so I was looking at him before he leaned down and kissed me lovingly," Thank you, for blessing me with a son."
I just smiled warmly at him, kissing him once more before returning to my previous position curled up to Stoick.
I fell asleep in my lovers arms with our new born son sound asleep in mine.
