Chapter

Hiccup mused about the last phrase, 'I win'. Well, it wasn't so much a phrase as a statement. She won what? Hiccup paced as he thought about that. Fishlegs and Astrid had been doing most of the work and Astrid slapped his arm, "Get your head out of the clouds and start with the swords! Or Arrowheads! Or something!"

Hiccup grinned at Astrid, "Yes ma'am." He ducked when she chucked a cloth at him. Hiccup started hammering away at a sword, still thinking about what his wife said. She won indeed...Hiccup was already plotting ways to make sure Merida knew he had won. This would be a difficult task, but he was up to it.

When Hiccup's work day was over he walked inside the house and right towards the unsuspecting Merida. He trapped her and gave her a strong kiss then walked away. Merida's eyes grew about the size of saucers and she was rooted to her spot. She watched as her husband walked away and touched her mouth for a second. Then she grew irritated at herself for turning into a helpless girl and went back to cooking, beating up the bread she was making.

Hiccup was very afraid to come out of his room. He changed and then came out, sitting in the chair, he grinned at his wife and commented, "I won." He held in a laugh when Merida's head whipped around, giving him the evil eye. Hiccup gave her his best winning smile and was surprised when Merida gave him a grin right back. Obviously this had turned into a war, and it wasn't going to be very pleasant.

Merida swung her head back around and remained silent as she worked. She briefly wondered what Hiccup was thinking about and wasn't surprised when he had trapped her again. Only this time Merida stuffed some of the bread dough in his mouth, "Taste."

Hiccup swallowed the bread and smiled, "Tastes good." He set his head on top of hers, "So, when are we going to have kids?" Hiccup wasn't surprised when Merida stiffened and tried to recoil, only she had nowhere to go. Hiccup kept her trapped and focused his eyes on hers when she turned around, "Merida, running away won't make the reality change."

Merida looked down and gripped the counter space tightly, until her knuckles turned white. She slowly looked up to meet Hiccups eyes, the emotion in her eyes hurt Hiccup. She looked afraid.

Hiccup held her hands and gently massaged them until she was calm again, "Its alright, Merida." He watched as she relaxed a little, "We do have to think about this. And I didn't mean now."

Merida said in an unusually soft voice, "I will give ye an answer tonight." She went up on tip-toes, kissed him on the cheek, then went back to what she was doing.
