Two months after the wedding, Astrid's stomach was growing more. Now you could tell she is pregnant with Hiccup's baby. Hiccup did morning training with his dad till lunch time and went to meet up with Astrid and spend the rest of the day with her. Snotlout kept training to be a knight. Fishlegs was getting better at cooking training to become a chef.
The twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut were hired at the fireworks factory in town making explosives for Kingdom defense in case of invasion. Eret trained to become a guard for the castle. Alistair, Ingrid, Valka and Stoick all look forward to becoming grand parents. Hiccup was nervous about becoming a father and at times wonder if he was going to be a great father to his baby. He didn't want to be a disappointed in his baby's eyes.
A couple of times he would have a nightmare of his baby telling him that they never listen to them. Sometimes he worried if he was going to get tied up with running the castle all day and no time for his baby. Stoick told him "that's what I did with your mother. A King can't neglect his family or he will lose himself." Everyday Hiccup and Astrid work till noon, have lunch and then spend the rest of the day together as a family.
Astrid sometimes had mood swings and Hiccup always had the right thing to do or say to make her happy or smile. When they went to bed she would tell him "your the best guy that I fell in love with." Hiccup and Astrid walk back to their bedroom chamber to see their nightfuries. Blackhawk croons at Astrid wanting to go flying with her but Hiccup said "after the baby is born and Astrid is back on her feet, then she can go flying again."
After petting them Hiccup and Astrid left the castle to go in town and buy some baby things for their unborn child. They climb into the carriage and ride into town. First stop was baby clothes. Second stop was baby cribs. Third stop was baby toys. Astrid was thinking they would have a baby boy first but wasn't sure.
Hiccup told her "I didn't care what gender the baby would be borned. I just bought both things for a baby boy and for a baby girl." Astrid smiles at him and ask "you are going to love our baby still, no matter what gender?" He smiles "of course dear. I would love them the same no matter what gender, the baby is born." After loading the baby stuff on to the wagon. Astrid ask him "where is the baby gonna sleep when they grow out of the crib?"
He smiles "I have a surprise for you that should be built halfway by the time we get back to the castle." She ask him "you have a surprise being made?" He looks at her and says "yes dear, and you would love it." After buying what they needed for the baby Hiccup helps Astrid into the carriage after connecting the wagon to the carriage and climbs inside heading back to the castle.
When they arrive at the entrance of the castle, a couple of guards were waiting for them to return to help them carry their baby stuff. Hiccup walked Astrid to their room to see a new door ten feet down the corridor from theirs. She ask him "who's door is that one next to ours?" He smiles "first you have to come inside the room to see who's door that is." He opens their bedroom chamber door carrying the 'put together crib'.
She looks around their room to see two new doors on the left side of their room. She looks at the doors and ask him "why their is two new doors on the left side this room?" He smiles and ask "are you ready for me to show you your surprise?" She sighs and says "please just show me them."
He smiles at her and opens up the first door to see a bedroom going towards the left to see a twelve by twelve room and another door lead to the corridor with a door to the other door to see another twelve by twelve room. After looking at the two new bedroom doors and looks at him and ask "when did you find time to have these built without me knowing?"
He answers "I had the builders work on them while we were doing our king and queen training until noon before we return to our room." She ask him "are they ready for the baby?" He looks at both rooms and smiles "yes they are ready the baby." First thing is setting up the cribs in each bedroom. Then dressers and clothes then finally toys. After getting the room organized and situated for the baby.
Astrid looks back at her life when she was playing with Hiccup when they were little, how he always came to her rescue. How he showed her, he loved her everyday. He was the one who stole her heart. Now their going to become parents in five more months after dating him for twelve years. Hiccup smiles and ask her "are you hungry?" then her stomach growls making her blush. He smiles "come on, let's go get something to eat."
They walk out of their bedroom chamber and head to the kitchen. He ask her "do you like your surprises?" She smiles at him and says "very happy that you had two bedrooms made for our two kids in the future." He opens the door for her to walk inside the kitchen. They order two plates of fish and head to the Royal Dining Hall to sit and eat their dinner. Stoick and Valka join them for dinner then five minutes later Alistair and Ingrid joins them.
Ingrid looks at her son in-law and ask him "what did you do today, because we didn't see you after lunch?" He looks at her and says "me and Astrid went shopping for our baby when he or she is born." Valka ask "Astrid, do you buy things for a baby boy or a baby girl?" Astrid smiles "actually we bought things for both, a baby boy and for a baby girl since we don't know what gender the baby would be born."
Alistair smiles "I guess that would be best choice to do." Stoick ask Hiccup "what baby do you want to have a boy or a girl?" He smiles "I don't care what gender the baby would be born, I will still love them the same. But if it's a boy then Astrid wants to try for a girl." Alistair smirks at his daughter "you wanting to try for a girl if your baby is born a boy?" Astrid's face turns red from blushing.
Hiccup smiles "we both want to have a boy and a girl to rule the castle together." Astrid smiles at him for covering her. After having dinner with their parents Hiccup walk with Astrid to the kitchen to grab two glasses of hot chocolate with marshmallows and whip cream and walk to their bedroom chamber for the night.
Astrid smiles "thank you for saving me back there when our father ask me about trying for a girl if our baby turns out to be a boy." He turns her to face him and says "Astrid Hofferson Haddock, I married you because I love you and vow that I would do anything you ask me to do for you to make you happy." Astrid smiles at his statement and leans up to him and kisses his lips running her hands through his hair while he rubs her back with his hands.
Soon the call for air causes them to break the kiss. They walk to their bedroom chamber and opens up the door for her. Toothless kissing Blackhawk while the kids are asleep. Hiccup sets his glass of hot chocolate down and takes Astrid's glass of hot chocolate and sets it down next to his. They walk over to Toothless and Blackhawk and start petting them causing them to purr happy at being petted.
Twenty minutes later Hiccup hands Astrid her glass of hot chocolate and grabs his and both walk over to the window to sit and enjoy the night breeze drinking hot chocolate then went to bed for the night. Astrid layed her head on his chest while on her back. Hiccup wraps his arms around her midsection above her stomach.
Two more months later Astrid's baby bump was getting bigger and now noticeable to anyone who looks at her. Hiccup worry about her getting closer to her delivery date of their baby. She was getting excited to become parents. Mood swings come and go but sometimes Snotlout would be one on the receiving end. Hiccup sometimes wonder how to take care of a baby let alone theirs.
Astrid smiles and tells him "we will just take it one step at a time." Astrid got up one morning to feel the baby kick a little and brought Hiccup's hand down to where their baby is to have him feel the baby kick. He smiles at feeling his baby kick inside her. After laying down on the bed for a few more minutes before they both get up and change into their day clothes and walk to the Royal Dining Hall to have breakfast with their parents.
Margret looks at Astrid and ask "how's the baby coming along?" She smiles "we are doing good." Margret smiles "soon you both will become parents, have you two decide on baby names?" Hiccup smiles "I was thinking of having Astrid pick the name for the baby." Margret ask "what name do you want to name it?" Astrid smiles "if it's a boy, Hiccup can name it and if it's girl I will name it."
She turns to Hiccup and ask him "what name did you decide on for your baby boy?" He smiles "how about Bryan Hofferson Haddock?" Astrid gasped at what he was going to name their son's middle name and ask him "why would you name him Hofferson instead Horrendous?"
He sighs "I pick Hofferson because of your marriage name I picked out for you, Astrid Hofferson Haddock, Bryan Hofferson Haddock meaning he is apart of your parents as he would be as my parents. Your name is of two families. He would be the out come of two families marrying." Astrid smiles and kisses his lips deeply.
Margret sighs "I never seen a guy who wouldn't take his wife's last name off her marriage license and name their son after his mother's side of the family." Alistair and Ingrid and Stoick and Valka walk in to join their kids for breakfast. Ingrid looks at Hiccup and tells him "that the first time you got my support of you dating Astrid, was when you addressed us with manners and told us that you pick Astrid to be your queen, and offered us a seat here, I want to say thank you for this."
Another month later Hiccup gets up to meet his dad for King training. Three minutes later Astrid woke up and decides to take a bath when she looks down at her legs to see a puddle of water and calls Toothless to wake him up. Toothless peak at her and snorts at her then goes back to sleep. Astrid calls him again and says "I need you now!" Toothless gets up and walks over to her and sighs. Astrid smiles "I need you to go get Hiccup fast the baby is coming now!"
Toothless's eyes widened to the realization that she's having her baby and plows through the door running down the corridor right into Hiccup knocking him over. Hiccup looks to see who knocked him down to see Toothless and yells "what the heck Toothless." Toothless takes his hand and puts it by his stomach and rubs it then lowers it to the floor rubbing the floor.
Hiccup looks at him and ask "what are you trying to say?" Toothless sighs and pretend he's cradling a baby in his arms then points towards his bedroom chamber. Hiccup looks at the chamber door bust open and thinks about what Toothless is trying to say, stomach rub means pregnant, then to the floor means labor. Then cradle baby and ask "what are you telling me?"
Toothless gives up and grabs his shirt and drags him to the front of their bedroom chamber door to hear Astrid saying "Hiccup, Hiccup." Hiccup gets up and walks into the room to see her laying on the floor and ask "Astrid, dear what's wro-" Astrid yells "baby is coming!"
