Httyd 2 death AU

"Dad! No!" Hiccup yelled. Stoik was sprinting to where he was trapped between ice and a mind controlled Toothless.

"Take care of Astrid!" Hiccup rushed Toothless as Drago cried "Fire!"

The world seemed to stop. She didn't even recognize her own scream as Stormfly landed. Stoik was trying to get Hiccup to woke up, until Hiccup's mom put her hand on his shoulder. He face covered in tears. Astrid rushed over, placing a hand over Hiccup's heart. There was nothing.

"No! Hiccup!" She hit his chest, "Wake up! You promised not to leave me. You… can't. You can't leave me here." Her voice broke, as her body began to shake with sobs. Strong arms held her and she blacked out.

When she woke up she could hear whispers about collecting things. "Astrid are you alright lass?"

She looked at the chief, "Please tell me it was a dream. That he's just out scouting or something." She knew before he could say anything by the look in his eyes. She sat up and looked down. This whole thing was wrong.

"I'm sorry lass. My son is gone. My heir is gone." Stoik's voice was quiet as he spoke and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Where are the others?"

"Collecting things for…. For his funeral ship."

"Then I need to tell you something." She took a deep breath, "You still have an heir."

"Astrid… I want it to be wrong as much as you do but…"

"I know." She looked him in the eye, "I meant your grandchild. I'm pregnant, two and a half months." Stoik's eyes went wide. "We'll have to lie and say that we married quietly, so that Hiccup's child can be legitimate."

"When? I can't… your sure?"

"I told Hiccup yesterday."

"The last thing he told me was, 'Take care of Astrid.'"

Astrid broke down again. Of course he would have made sure she was taken care of. But why couldn't he have lived? He could have dived out of the way!

"Chief everything is ready." Fishlegs said.

"We will be there in a minute. Send in my wife and Gobber."

When they came in, Astrid was still crying. Valka came over and put her hand on Astrid' s shoulder. "Thank you… for loving my son." She said quietly

"Valka. Our son lives on with Astrid."

"We all will remember him Stoik.".Gobber said.

"No Gobber. Astrid is pregnant." Valka and Gobber starred in shock. "Gobber you are going to say that you married them and we witnessed their marriage this morning. A few hours before the battle started. Astrid will be put in the position as heir until the baby is born." He turned to Astrid, "As my daughter-in-law, you have the right to fire the arrow. If you want it."

"Can I see him first?"

"Of course."

He looked like he was sleeping. The only thing that kept her from believing that was that there was no heartbeat under her hand. "I miss you already. I. How am I supposed to raise this baby without you?" She brushed his cheek with her fingers, it was cold. " I love you."

"There do I see my Father, my mother and my brothers and sisters. There do I see the the line of my people back to the beginning. They call to me and bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla. Where enemies have been vanquished, where the brave shall duel forever. For we shall rejoice for those who have died in glorious battle. Odin welcome the spirit of our warrior Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third. He was a seeker of knowledge, a dragon trainer, a friend, a son, a husband and a father."
