Although things had taken an unsuspecting turn with Astrid being almost 10 weeks pregnant, meaning she'd be 3 months in just a mere two weeks. It wasn't hard to tell that Astrid was in fact very scared even though she knew she had Hiccup at her side. It was a long night for them after getting home from the hospital, now that she knew she was pregnant, the morning sickness seemed to be hitting all the time and she was incredibly uncomfortable at night. Hiccup did his best with it for the night and when morning came they had a lot to talk about.

As the sun started to rise, Astrid was up before Hiccup and puking in the bathroom. To avoid her passing out again, even if it wasn't originally from the puking Hiccup brought her in a water bottle and told her to drink lightly in between the waves of nausea. To her surprise, it was helping keep it down since when you get dehydrated, it can also cause you to throw up violently. Once it passed, Astrid took a shower and got dressed. Hiccup took a shower after her and got dressed to meet her in the kitchen. Hiccup took it upon himself to make them breakfast but the smell of cooking bacon seemed to not sit well with Astrid, she got up and walked outside for the fresh air.

When Hiccup was done cooking he set their plates down and opened the window so get the smell of bacon out, Astrid came back in and sat down starting to eat slowly. "You know babe, looking back on it...I guess you had more symptoms that we over looked for other reasons." Hiccup pointed out.

"What do you mean?" Astrid asked as she drank her orange juice slowly and looked at him for an answer.

"Well just look at it all. You had the aversion to tuna, something you love. Same here just now with the bacon. Doctor had mentioned you might have different tastes now that you're pregnant." Hiccup told her as he continued to eat.

"I guess...alright so we have school today...and we still have a lot to talk about." Astrid reminded him. Hiccup nodded as he grabbed his phone and called someone, they picked up on the 3rd ring with a yawn and very tired tone.

"Hello..." Came Anna's voice.

"Hey Anna, it's Hiccup. Sorry to wake you up so early but can me and Astrid ask a favor when you go to school today?" Hiccup asked, Astrid tilted her head slightly, what was he doing?

"Hiccup's it's only 6am...What could possibly be this important?..." Anna mumbled now.

"I know, I'm sorry. Can you just let Mr. Bludvist know first period that Astrid and I aren't coming in today." Hiccup asked with a hopeful tone. He heard some shuffling now as Anna's whole view changed.

"Oh my God, that's right! How's Astrid? How are you?! Is everything okay?!" Anna asked quickly as Hiccup laughed a bit.

"Geeze Anna...Yes everyone is fine, everything is okay. Astrid and I have a lot to talk about, ya know? So can you just let the teacher know we're going to be out today?..." Hiccup asked again.

"Sure, no problem. Seriously though, are you two okay...? We're all here for you guys." Anna said softly with concern now and no longer hyper active.

"Well, it's a lot to take in and like I said we have a lot to talk about and going to school today just is going to force us to have to put it off. If Astrid's up for it, maybe you guys can stop by later and we'll fill everyone in...Okay? I appreciate this Anna and uh if it's not to much trouble...try not to talk about it at school. We know the school thinks she's pregnant, but they don't know its real and neither do the teachers...until we're ready to have it be known, y–you get what I'm saying right?" Hiccup asked her.

"We understand, Hiccup. Don't worry. Your secret is safe with us. Check in later!" Elsa called now from the background.

"We will. Thanks guys." Hiccup said with a nod as they said their goodbyes and hung up. "Well, that takes care of that..." Hiccup added as he put his phone down.

"I normally don't like just taking days off babe but...I agree we need time to talk and school is only going to get in the way. But we are going tomorrow..." Astrid added to him.

"Of course...Lets finish eating and we can talk about things...First things first, we have to call Dr. Vali's office and set up your appointments. He said he wanted to see you in 3 weeks for standard testing." Hiccup nodded to her.

"The papers with his number should be on the table in the living room from when we came in last night..." Astrid replied finishing her food and orange juice now taking her plate to the sink. Hiccup finished after 5 minutes and placed his dishes in the sink too before joining Astrid in the living room as she was going over the papers he'd given her.

"Did you find his number?" Hiccup asked. Astrid pointed to the paper sitting near her phone. "What's all that you got?" Hiccup questioned sitting beside her.

"Looks like stuff about pregnancy. Things to watch for, list of medications I can take, a chart to track the weeks and what I should expect for that time, early labor symptoms, even a list of pediatricians...God it's so much." Astrid sighed closing her eyes. Hiccup put his arm around her gently and kissed her cheek.

"Hey, number one thing on that paper is not to stress out. We'll go through it all, one page at a time. Okay...these are things that test a couple right. We've been doing it all year in school with the play marriage, we can handle this. But we need to calm down and take it slow. Alright? One step at a time remember?" Hiccup smiled at her.

"Yeah, you're right...I'm sorry I just...I don't understand how it happened, Hiccup...We used condoms every time, did one break?..." Astrid asked looking at him now.

"Who knows. Maybe I put it on wrong, maybe it broke, maybe they were bad? We can't worry about how it happened now...It did happen and now we have to deal with it, and we'll do it together. I promise you that, Astrid. You've got me at your side forever." Hiccup told her calmly. Astrid smiled with a nod to him, he was right. How it happened didn't matter, it did and now they had to face it together like they did with everything else.

"You're right...so...how do we...start this?" Astrid asked him now.

"I guess the first thing would be deciding if we were keeping the baby but we did that at the hospital." Hiccup pointed out, and she nodded quickly. "Next I assume we figure out the financials but...I really don't think we have an issue with that, do you plan to keep working?" Hiccup asked her. In the time they'd been together since it came out that Hiccup was Fury and Strike, Astrid started working at Gobber's shop as his secretary. Hiccup was to busy with the band and dragon racing so he ended up quitting and Astrid took it because she was sick of sitting at home by herself on the nights that Hiccup was busy or their friends couldn't come over.

"I guess I can keep working for now, maybe not 5 days a week...it gets so hot in there and you know I can't handle that..." Astrid stated to him.

"Well, we can talk to Gobber. I'm sure he wouldn't mind putting you at 3 days a week or less even. Up to you really. You only sit at the desk handing appointments, and handling money." Hiccup reminded her.

"True...not like its stressful for me. Yeah, I'll stay working just shorter hours and less days...Are we...staying here?" Astrid asked now.

"Do you want to? We could move somewhere else but since you're almost 3 months, I'd like to get that out of the way if we do leave here." Hiccup looked at her calmly.

"Well this is only a two bedroom, its pretty much a house...and one we've been comfortable in for months...Are we going to keep the sleeping arrangements the same? Or will the baby stay in my room with me?..." Astrid asked.

"I was thinking maybe we...as in you and I share the big room and give the room I've been in to the baby...? Its not like you and I haven't shared a room before...This would just be more...permanent." Hiccup offered to her.

"I–I guess it could work...but Hiccup you know how I feel about sleeping arrangements. Yes we're together and I agreed to live with you...well agreed, then forced by my dad when mom died...but actually like in the same room...you know that..." She stopped when Hiccup smiled.

"I know, Astrid. You said marriage first but look at all we've been through since we got paired, since we got together. We've done a lot out of order..." Hiccup stated. Astrid looked down now.

"Can't we just...go to town hall or something and get married like that?..I'm sorry Hiccup, it's just how I feel about it...I know we've shared a room before but that was when I was hurt, mourning and didn't want to be alone at night...This is different. This...us having a baby, and having a bed together, actually...living in the same room...You did say we could get married for real one day..." Astrid said softly to him now.

"Astrid, do you really think it's a good idea to be getting married behind everyone's backs? Our dad's are already going to flip finding your that your fake pregnancy, is actually real...I know I said we could get married one day but I was thinking way after high school when we've settled in our careers and what not..." Hiccup sighed closing his eyes now.

"I'm sorry...I'm making this more difficult..." Astrid sighed getting up now, Hiccup watched her now as he got up and took ..her hand in his softly.

"You always make things more difficult...But I love a challenge. We'll figure it out...we have time still...lets just go over everything else okay? It's new to both of us, we'll take it slow." Hiccup told her.

"I'm scared Hiccup...I'm...terrified to be pregnant..." Astrid said looking down.

"These are things we need to talk about. All the facts aside, we have to talk about how we're feeling right now...So tell me how you feel. All out in the open." Hiccup told her.

"It's just...all happening so fast!" Astrid sighed out frustrated. "Everything since the day we got paired, it's been a non stop emotional roller coaster and this just...puts the freaking cherry on top..." Astrid sat back down now.

"Okay, good start...lets uh...touch base on the happening so fast thing...explain it to me, aside from the obvious..." Hiccup asked.

"Well I mean getting paired, me and Eret fighting, you driving me home, meeting at the café and actually getting along. Then you end up taking me back to your house, I find out a secret that you hide from everyone...You lied to Eret for me, you saved me when he put me in harms way, you let me live with you for two weeks to make sure I was safe, the concert night when I kissed you, got scared because of how you made me feel, like I mattered, that you actually cared!..." She took a breath. "Then the accident, living with you again, longer this time. Getting together on Christmas, the weekend at the hotel, having sex for the first time, my mom dying...you being Fury, then Strike...just...everything Hiccup...it's like it never stops and just gives us a minute to relax...and now being pregnant...we never will. It's like everything is...rushed...and I just...don't know how to handle it." Astrid finally stopped and looked at him now.

"I won't disagree with you, it's been pretty crazy since we met. I can understand why this scares you, this isn't something we just get over and move on from because the baby will be with us for the rest of our lives. If anyone knows a fast faced life, its me. I had a triple life...Being a dragon racer, a singer, and son of a wrestler...all while still trying to lead a normal life. But it all changed when I met you, Astrid. My lifestyle...got you in to all this. Just that first night you came here, and realized I wasn't some loser but a cool person, well according to you...since I didn't take to the popularity and still wanted to be me...From the moment you found out who I was the son of...everything changed for both of us." Hiccup told her calmly.

"You were never a loser, no one gave you a chance...I did, it was forced because of the project but after hanging out with you...I saw who you really were. You weren't what people thought you were, what I thought you were. But you're right...That night we became friends and you became someone...I could rely on as a friend. That's why I knew I could trust you to be there for me...That night you came to save me...Friends I had for years didn't even answer my calls, but you did and right away...you had no hesitation, you just came for me. That's when things changed because I that's when I started falling for you...And since then, it's never slowed down..." Astrid sighed closing her eyes now.

"Astrid, I know everything changed that night...Hearing you in trouble, that afraid...I realized that I didn't have just a crush on you. I loved you. And then the accident...that did it. I was in love with you and I knew it'd never stop. Astrid I know you're scared about this, I am too. But I didn't leave your side as a friend, or a boyfriend through all we've been through...and I won't do it now. You're saying things are rushed but getting married on top of all this...is not just rushing things further...but it's also going to be a lot more stress on you and that's not good for you or our child and I'm sorry but I won't risk either of you..." Hiccup said to her. "You keep the big room, the baby can have the little room beside yours. I'll sleep on the couch. Alright?" Hiccup said firmly.

"Hiccup...no. I'm not making you sleep on the couch..." Astrid replied with wide eyes.

"The man of the house does everything he can to ensure the safety, stability, and well being of his family. Whether we stay here, or move Astrid...I will continue to make necessary sacrifices for you and the baby." Hiccup informed her with a serious tone. "No matter what we do, Astrid...I'm okay with because I'll have you two. I just want your happiness..." Hiccup said as he kissed her forehead. "I still promise to marry you one day Astrid...just not right now, there is a lot going on with school, our jobs, and now this...trying to get a wedding together...its to much. Besides, the day I marry you...I'll be going to your father first for his blessing. I want to give you the wedding you want...and I know going to town hall or whatever...isn't what you want. Is it?" Hiccup asked gently.

Astrid shook her head to him. It was true, she didn't want to go to town hall to get married. She wanted a wedding like the fake one they had. Just family and friends, her and Hiccup together. Astrid looked down now as Hiccup pulled her in to a hug. "You always seem to be my voice of reason, you know that?..." Astrid murmured lightly to him as she smiled in their embrace.

"I get it from mom...Now...lets not worry about arrangements, and what not...For all purposes, lets just say we're going to stay here and we have 6 months, we'll figure out something in that time okay? For now...lets do what we said we'd do. And call the doctors office to get your appointments set up..." Hiccup smiled at her.

"Okay. Can you hand me my phone please?" Astrid asked after they separated from the hug, Hiccup reached over and got it for her as she dialed the number to the office and waited for it to answer. There was a click connecting the calls before a woman answered.

"Family Beginnings. This is Eerika, how may I help you today?" Came her cheery voice over the phone. Astrid smiled nervously, she was shaking. Hiccup held her hand now as she took a deep breath.

"Hello...My name is Astrid Hof–Haddock and I uh...just found out I'm...pregnant...Doc–doctor Vali told me to call to set up my appointments?..." Astrid stated as calmly as she could.

"Ah yes, he said you might be calling soon. First off, congratulations! I took the liberty of making you an intake appointment with him today at 1:15pm. Since there is paperwork, questions, and a few other things to do. If you can't make it, we can reschedule?" Eerika said gently.

Astrid put her phone over the mouth piece and looked at Hiccup. "She wants to know if I can come in today at 1:15pm for an intake appointment babe?" Astrid asked now.

"Yes you can. Ask if you need to bring anything with you too." Hiccup told her.

"Yes, I can make it...umm do I need to bring anything with me when I come?..." Astrid waited for the answer.

"Your license and insurance cards sweetie, that's all. Is there anything else I can help you Mrs. Haddock?" Eerika asked, a smile in her voice.

"No thank you. My husband and I will be there at 1:15 then, thank you." Astrid said happily as the call ended and she put the phone down gently and sighed. "You know, this married thing we've been playing off since the accident is going to come out...Hiccup, they think we've been married a while...if I show my license or insurance cards...they still read Astrid Hofferson. You have any idea how much trouble you could be in for lying to doctors about our marital status to get information on me?" Astrid asked him with fear in her tone.

"Hey hey, relax...The name change process takes a while. As far as anyone knows, you just haven't gotten your new cards yet and the insurance company is waiting on a copy of our marriage license which town hall is going to fax it to them. Relax...We're covered." Hiccup chuckled to her.

"You're too relaxed..." Astrid sighed.

"And you're too worried. Let me handle it...It doesn't matter anyway since we were both 17 when we did it, both 17 when you conceived, and since I'm that baby's father...they can't keep me away from you and we're both adults. You now make all your medical choices babe. Calm down...seriously...I'm gonna go check on Toothless. You alright in here?" Hiccup asked her gently.

"Yeah just gonna keep reading all this stuff and get the mail. Tell Toothless I said hi." Astrid smiled, Hiccup kissed her cheek and headed outside to the stables. Astrid shook her head as she started to read over the papers, there was so much to take in. There was a knock at the door as she got up, "Coming." She called going to the door and opening it and seeing Gobber there, she blinked a few times.

"Ello there, Astrid. I didn't think you'd be home being it's a school day...Where's Iccup?" Gobber asked now. Astrid giggled a bit hearing what Gobber called Hiccup, Gobber knew his real name but occasionally his accent got the the better of him and he didn't pronounce the H in Hiccup's name.

"Outside with Toothless. We stayed home because I didn't feel good...What brings you here, everything okay at the shop?" Astrid asked him.

"Oh yeah, everything is fine lass. These came to the shop for you two, don't know why they sent them to me. I gave them your address but here you are." Gobber said handing her the envelopes and she took them.

"What are they?..." Astrid asked looking at where they came from. Social Security Administration, DMV, Insurance, and Town Hall? Why would these places be sending them information. Mainly to her, her name was on these. Addressed to Astrid Haddock. The one from town hall was addressed to Mr. And Mrs. Haddock.

"Well its your new license, social security card, and then yours and Hiccup's marriage license...? Didn't I tell you the day of the wedding they'd be coming in a month or so?..." Gobber asked her. Astrid ripped open the social security one, she read it over quickly. 'Congratulations on your marriage, Mrs. Haddock. Enclosed is your new social security card.' Was the top line. Pulling out another paper was a small laminated blue card with her social security number on it, her name read Astrid Haddock. She took a few breaths opening the one from the DMV, same thing. A new license with the name Astrid Haddock too. She felt her heart pounding in shock.

Astrid shakily opened the one from the insurance company, a new card with her new name. Astrid looked at the town hall one and opened it slowly, she unfolded the paper and her blue eyes scanned over it quickly. "This is a true and exact copy of your marriage license. Hiccup Haddock the Third and Astrid Hofferson entered matrimony on February 12th, 2015. Ceremony headed by Gobber Borgeson, a licensed minister for the town of Berk. Witnesses Heather Beserk and Fishlegs Ingerman. Consenting parents to the marriage of two minors were Stoick Haddock father of the groom, and Calder Hofferson father of the bride. Congratulations on your marriage Mr. And Mrs. Haddock. Enclosed is the copy of your license. Many years of happiness to you both..." Astrid panted out as she read it aloud.

"Isn't it wonderful lass! I took care of everything after you two got married. I turned in all the paper work for ya. Now yer official!" Gobber said with a smile.

"Gobber...we told you...Oh my Gods...do you have any idea..." She couldn't even formulate a perfect sentence. Their wedding was...real? The wedding they had in February was a real wedding. Gobber was a licensed minister for Berk and now she and Hiccup were...officially and legally married in the eyes of Berk. Astrid couldn't believe it. "HICCUP!" Astrid yelled out loudly.
