Novella is finally here! Come along with the Haddock's as they learn what to do, and what not to do, with their first child while also struggling with everyday problems.

Astrid is keeping a secret from her fiancé, Hiccup. He's noticed the changes in the way she acts, and hopes that she'll be able to tell him. After the secret is spilled, he reacts better than she thought, and they start getting prepared.

Hiccup Haddock was never one to fit in when he was in high school. Now being a freshman in college, he's grown up. His looks changed. A lot. Astrid Hofferson, his best friend, isn't too fond of the attention he's now getting, especially from a certain girl.

Life as a young Viking adult in Berk might have gotten a lot more fun since dragons arrived, but theirs is still a harsh world. Battles remain to be fought - against warring tribes, stereotypes, tradition - all for the sake of freedom, willpower...and love.When you have to choose something to sacrifice, which one will you leave behind? Love, or duty?/HICCSTRID
