Astrid sat there for a moment before it hit her that Hiccup had just passed out on the floor.
"HICCUP!" Astrid shouted
Scrambling off the bed and to his side Astrid was calling out for a medic to come and help him. Two medics came bursting into the tent and took up positions on both sides of Hiccup. Looking him over and nodding to one another, they grabbed a stretcher off the walls of the tent and carefully placed Hiccup on it.
Lifting him up they started to walk out of the tent, much to Astrid's dismay.
"Hey where are you taking him?!" She called out
"Medical Frigate, his injuries are too much for us to handle here. They are better equipped up there." The medic replied
Astrid's heart stopped at hearing. If his injuries were too severe to be handled here just how badly was he hurt? Racing to his side Astrid followed them toward the shuttle that would take them up to the Frigate. On the way there they ran into Fishlegs, Ruff, Tuff, Cami, and Heather who all had a look of concern on their face.
"Astrid what is going on?" Heather asked
"I don't know Hiccup came into the tent that I was in, said he was back and then passed out onto the floor." Astrid explained not taking her eyes off Hiccup.
Not pressing any further the Nightfury followed the medics, who were carrying their leader to the shuttle that would take him to be treated. As they boarded the shuttle Astrid saw Toothless approaching them with another dragon that looked very similar to him.
"Uh guys who is that following Toothless?" Astrid asked very confused
"Oh shit that's right! Hey pilot, we need a shuttle to bring those two dragons up to the same Frigate we are going too. And I want known that nothing gets done to them with Astrid's approval is that understood?" Heather ordered
"Yes Ma'am!" The pilot responded
The pilot relayed Heather's message over the comm link. A shuttle came to pick up Toothless and the female Basiliskan, and soon they were all off to get Hiccup fixed.
Both shuttles touched down inside the hangar and Hiccup was immediately rushed to a room to get X-Rays and an assortment of other tests done to determine the extent of the damage. Toothless and his new companion stepped off their own shuttle and remained in the hangar next to one another. Toothless refused to let anyone near the smaller female and growled at anyone who got too close to them.
Astrid walked over to him and gave him a playful, yet displeased look.
"Come on Toothless you know they only want to help." Astrid said
"I know I just want to protect her is all." Toothless replied, nuzzling the female to bring her attention to Astrid.
"Her?" Astrid asked confused
"Yep, her. Astrid to my knowledge we are the last remaining intelligent Basiliskan's in the galaxy. All the others of our species are just mindless war beasts now. I thought I was the last one until I met her, here on Kashyyyk." Toothless answered, still nuzzling the female
"Does she have a name, and how come I can't hear her like I can you?" Astrid asked again
"Her name is Luna. And as for why you can't hear her well I guess that would be because you have to bond with her like you did me. I don't think that is the best idea right now though. She is tired, weak, and needs rest. She was there much longer than I was. Go and make sure Hiccup is okay. You two are going to have a lot to talk about." Toothless finished
Astrid stood in shock that Toothless what was up with her. He even confirmed it when he nuzzled her stomach. Gently pushing her toward the lift, Astrid took the hint and made her way to the room where Hiccup was. She was greeted with gentle hugs from Cami and Heather.
"I'm guessing you didn't get a chance to tell him." Cami stated
"Yeah he passed out before I could literally get two words in." Astrid replied with a chuckle.
"Tell him what?" Fishlegs asked from behind
"Nothing that Hiccup won't hear first Fishlegs." Heather said looking at Astrid with a small smile.
Silently thanking her Astrid turned her attention to the doctor that had just come out of Hiccup's room. He walked up to the group with a small smile, but they could see how the smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. They knew that there would be bad news mixed in with the good.
"I'm guessing you all must be the Nightfury squad, I am Doctor Bindo and I can give you an update on Hiccup's condition if you like?" He offered
Nodding their heads the doctor pulled up his data pad and began reading off all of Hiccup's injuries
"He really took quite the beating. Broken right collar bone, three broken ribs, blaster wound to his left leg, numerous cuts and scratches all over his body, and finally a mild concussion." The doctor finished
Astrid gasped at hearing all the injuries that Hiccup sustained. Granted it was nothing compared to losing his arm, but that did little to make her feel better.
"Will he be okay?" Astrid asked softly
"He will be, we placed him in a medical coma right now to let his body heal. He will be here for a while though and we want to keep him under for a while as well to give his body and mind to proper time to heal. We have him floating in a bacta tank right now, if you would like to see him." The doctor offered as he gestured to the door.
"Astrid why don't you go we will go in a little bit." Heather said placing a hand on her shoulder giving her a look.
Astrid knew what the look was for. Tell Hiccup. Even if he won't hear it use it as practice for when he is awake. Astrid nodded and made her way over to where the doctor was and followed him into the room where Hiccup was.
Seeing him floating inside the tank caused Astrid to suck in her breath. It just made him seem so much more hurt than he really was. The doctor left the room to give Astrid some privacy with him, Astrid pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him, letting the sounds of the bacta machine cool and settle her nerves. Staring up at him, the words just tumbled out of her.
"Hey babe, it's nice to see that you survived the battle. You found Toothless which is fantastic, I was worried we had gotten here too late. And you found a female Basiliskan that is mind blowing we will have to find out more about her won't we." Astrid finished with a small chuckle
"There is something I was going to tell you when you got back from the battle, but you just had to pass out in front of me and give me another heart attack you jerk." Astrid said laughing through it
She didn't realize that the door had been propped open gently and the Nightfury squad was listening in to her confession.
"Anyway what I was going to tell you Hiccup is that I'm…I'm…pregnant." She said softly looking down
"I've had my suspicions for a little while, but I got confirmation on it just before we left for here. I tried to tell you before we left Onderon, but you were so focused on coming back here and saving Toothless we never saw you for more than ten minutes and I didn't want to add to your stress. I'm so sorry babe." Astrid finished with tears in her eyes that slowly started to fall
Ruff, Tuff, and Fishlegs all gasped at hearing that Astrid was pregnant, Heather and Cami though walked through the doors and kneeled down beside Astrid and brought her into a hug.
"Ssh, it's going to be alright Astrid. Hiccup will heal up and then when he wakes up from the coma you will be able to tell him." Cami whispered to her
Astrid nodded against her as Ruff, Tuff, and Fishlegs gathered behind them and brought everyone into a group hug.
"Thanks guys." Astrid whispered out
"What else are friends for?" Heather replied
Nodding to her Astrid stood up and placed her hand on the glass.
"Get well soon babe, I hope you aren't stuck in that tank for too long." Astrid said before turning around to leave the room.
(Four weeks later)
Astrid was starting to get really pissed and really worried. Hiccup was still in the medical coma, and she was starting to show a little bit. She had hoped that Hiccup would have been awake by now but all his medical coma did was allow Astrid's mind to go through all the worst possible scenarios that could happen to her. She needed Hiccup and she needed him now.
She was walking back to Hiccup's room. He had been taken out of the tank at the end of the first week and placed in a bed on the medical Frigate.
In the three weeks that followed that led them to this point, Kashyyyk had been liberated and they were still helping rebuild the planet and setting up alliances with the Wookiees.
As she entered Hiccup's room Astrid was shocked to see him not there. The bed was made, the room cleaned, it looked as though nobody had been there in a while. Spotting a nurse Astrid went over to her.
"Hey where did Hiccup go?" She asked anxiously
"Oh right sorry dear, they pulled him out of the coma last night and he got up this morning. I think he said something about going to the bridge." The nurse replied
Thanking her Astrid made her way to the bridge. The entire trip there she was trying to figure out how she was going to tell Hiccup and how was he going to react. Reaching the bridge Astrid saw Hiccup bent over a holo-table looking at a planet. The planet looked a lot like Coruscant, only a war torn version of it. She saw the name hovering just below it. Gigantion. Pushing forward she came up from behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey sweetie." He stated quietly
"Hey babe, how long have you been up." Astrid asked
"A few hours, I wanted to get a jump start on the next mission when I found out how long I was out." Hiccup replied pulling back to the table
"But you only just woke up surely you would like some more time to rest, right?" Astrid suggested
"Not really I just want to get on with the war so you and me and live our lives the way we always wanted too." Hiccup said smiling at her
Astrid melted at hearing these words. He wanted to fight so they could get out of the fight. She could see the seriousness in his eyes and knew that nothing was stopping him from going to this new planet.
"So what is that planet?" She asked
"It's where we are going next." Hiccup replied
