(Laugardgr, Harpa; Early Morning)
(Berk; Haddock Hut)

It had been four days since Brenna began to feel very tired and a bit sick. It was random, but Brenna seemed to be alright. It was mainly nausea and some fatigue. However, going on four days, which was today; Hiccup was concerned for her. Brenna started throwing up right before dinner; it happened on the stairs heading into the Great Hall.

/Flashback; Frjadgr-Night/

Brenna made her way up the stairs to the Great Hall after a long day of feeling sick. It came in sections, but she knew she had to be sick. Brenna hadn't done much around the house, and she felt bad too. Hiccup worked hard all day with his father and the village; he probably expected her to have the house spotless every night he returned home. Brenna was tired, trying to get up the stairs, but she felt out of breath and like she was going to throw up.

"Brenna, come on," Ruffnut urged. "The others are already inside,"

"I'm coming," Brenna managed. However, she stopped and covered her mouth a moment. Brenna shook it off and continued, nearing the top; she felt the vomit rise in her throat.

"Hey, you don't look so good," Tuffnut mentioned. Suddenly, Brenna leaned over the edge of the stairs and threw up twice.

"Tuff, go get Hiccup," Ruffnut went beside Brenna with a hand on her back. "It's alright…Easy," Ruffnut tried, not sure what to do. Inside, Tuffnut scanned the room for Hiccup, who was talking with his father. Tuffnut hurried over, panting a bit.

"Hiccup, hey; you gotta get outside," Tuffnut said quickly interrupting the conversation.

"Wait a moment, Tuffnut," Stoick informed.

"Sorry, Chief, but this is more important than what you're gonna assign Hiccup to do tomorrow when the guy knows the job," Tuffnut stated, surprising Stoick. "Hiccup, Brenna just threw up twice outside on the stairs," he looked at Hiccup now.

"What?" Hiccup asked quickly, concern in his tone.

"She was walking up the stairs and just suddenly leaned over the side and threw up twice. Ruff is with her now but told me to get you," Tuffnut informed. Hiccup turned and rushed out of the hall to find his wife.

"Brenna?" Hiccup looked around.

"We're over here, Hiccup," Ruffnut popped her head up. Hiccup headed over to the side of the stairs, finding Brenna sitting in the grass, looking miserable.

"Go on, Ruff; I got this," Hiccup said as Ruffnut moved away, watching a moment. Hiccup got down next to Brenna. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"I-I don't know; it just kind of happened when I was walking up the stairs. I felt tired and sick; then it just came up," Brenna confessed sadly. Hiccup had his arm around her shoulders and leaning his head on hers.

"Alright, no big deal. Maybe you caught something; let's get you back to the house to rest," Hiccup suggested. Brenna only nodded to him. Hiccup helped her up, and then he helped her get back over to their house. Ruffnut headed into the Great Hall for dinner, and to update Stoick who was waiting on some kind of explanation.

/End Flashback/

Brenna was miserable through the night, but she managed to get some sleep after throwing up three more times throughout a little time, a hot bath, drawn for her by Hiccup, and then falling asleep in his arms. However, it was no better this morning. Brenna woke up, thankfully, just as Hiccup was returning from a raid on Bog-Burglar, and before that Dragon Hunter. Things were easier now that Hiccup could come in and do his work as Drage; then leave instead of doing all the in-between stuff like before they started trusting him. But Brenna was sick, and Hiccup felt it was time for her to see Gothi, the village elder and healer of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe.

Brenna threw up just moments after Hiccup got in; it paused until the sun was rising, and then it happened again. Hiccup was preparing to leave for the day as Brenna was relaxing on the couch. "Are you sure you're gonna be alright?"

"I'm fine, Hiccup. Go on," Brenna assured. "I'm just going to stay home and clean since I slacked yesterday,"

"You were sick, it's okay," Hiccup stated.

"Well, I'm good right now, so go on for training with your dad," Brenna smiled. "I'll see you for lunch?" she asked.

"Likely," Hiccup replied. "Do you, uh, maybe wanna catch lunch with me here at the house?" he asked, hoping she might accept. Brenna looked at him surprised now. "I-I just figured maybe we could spend some time together since we…Haven't gotten a lot since the wedding?" he added softly, perhaps a bit nervously.

"That…Sounds really nice, Hiccup," Brenna smiled. Hiccup perked up a bit. "I'd like that. Yeah, I'd lo-," she suddenly stopped.

"Brenna?" Hiccup asked. Brenna jerked a bit, closing her eyes; then she quickly covered her mouth and dashed for the downstairs restroom. Brenna hit her knees and puked; Hiccup went to check on her when he heard knocking on the door. Hiccup opened it; seeing his father there. "Hi, Dad,"

"Ready to get started?" Stoick inquired. Hiccup heard Brenna throw up again. Hiccup looked back at his father.

"Not today, Dad. Brenna isn't feeling well, and I think I should stay home to help her," Hiccup stated.

"Son, you have the training to do," Stoick sighed.

"Dad, for Odin's sake; we've been doing the same thing for a week. I think I can afford to miss one or even a couple of days to make sure my WIFE is alright and take care of her. You would do the same thing if mom were still here," Stoick stared at him. "Sorry, but I need to be home to take care of her," Hiccup closed the door, just waiting for his father to flip out. Oddly enough, Stoick blinked a few times and ended up walking away. Hiccup shook his head and moved to the restroom, knocking on the wall. "Brenna? Hey, are you alright?"

"I d-don't understand why it keeps happening," Brenna whimpered a little.

"Can I come in?" Hiccup asked.

"I-I'm coming out. Gimme a second," Brenna said. After a few moments, the door opened, and Brenna came out slowly; instantly falling against Hiccup and he led her back to the couch.

"This had been going on a few days now, Bren…Let us go see Gothi," Hiccup suggested. Brenna sighed, giving in, and nodding.

"Okay…" Brenna replied.

"Come on," Hiccup offered his hand, Brenna took it. "Think you can walk there, or should I bring Gothi here?" he inquired.

"I can walk," Brenna replied. Hiccup nodded as together, they walked out of the house and went to Gothi's hut.

. . .

(Berk; Gothi's Hut)

"Shouldn't we have grabbed Gobber?" Brenna inquired after they reached the elder's home. "Doesn't he translate for Gothi?"

"I can read the runes, don't worry," Hiccup assured as he knocked on Gothi's door. A few moments later, they were greeted by the little old woman holding her staff. "Hi, Gothi. Do you think you can take a look at Brenna? I think she's sick; maybe you can whip something up to help?" Hiccup told Gothi. Of course, Gothi opened the door more, motioning for them to come inside with her staff. Brenna headed in with Hiccup behind her, and then Gothi closed the door. Hiccup helped Brenna to one of the cots, and she sat down as Gothi came over and began to look over Brenna.

After a little time passed, Gothi dumped some sand on the floor and began to write in it. Hiccup glanced over her shoulder to read it. "What's been wrong with her?" Gothi nodded to him. "Started with tiredness, feeling warm on Tyrsday. She hasn't eaten much due to feeling like she was going to throw up. And since last night, she has been throwing up. It just happens at random," Hiccup explained. Gothi rubbed her chin a little, thinking before wiping away what she said before and starting again.

"What's she saying?" Brenna wondered.

"Hang on, Bren…" Hiccup said as Gothi finished. "She wants to know if you're breasts are hurting at all, like tender or sore to the touch?"

"Little bit," Brenna nodded. Gothi wrote something else under her first question.

"Any cramping?" Hiccup asked.

"Some, but nothing awful, so I ignored it," Brenna shrugged. Gothi wrote one more thing, and Hiccup arched a brow.

"Did you bleed this month? Your monthly cycle or whatever?" Hiccup inquired; he knew how it worked, but wasn't sure what the female who had to deal with it referred to it as. Brenna thought a moment before shaking her head.

"No, I haven't. I…Should have yesterday, or the day before," Brenna replied. Gothi used her foot to swipe what she wrote, then smiled writing something new. Hiccup's eyes widened instantly at the words written in the sand.

"Are you sure?" Hiccup asked. Gothi smacked his head with her staff, glaring. "Okay, okay! I was just asking…" Hiccup said quickly.

"What is it, Hiccup?" Brenna looked at him.

"You're, uh, with child," Hiccup informed. Brenna's eyes widened a little now.

"I-I'm pregnant?" Brenna asked.

"Gothi says you missed your bleeding week, and that you must have gotten pregnant the night of the wedding, which was two weeks ago when you would have been fertile. So, I guess you're…One month along…" Hiccup said, still trying to process the news. Hiccup knew how pregnancy worked; that was among other teachings when he ventured outside the Archipelago. Hiccup knew that the start of a cycle was called a period, where women bled for a week; this would happen every month. However, between days twelve and fourteen after the cycle began; a woman was fertile, and if there was unprotected love-making during that time, pregnancy would typically occur. So if a woman missed her period, she was considered to be one month pregnant.

Of course, Hiccup wasn't going to go into all the technical stuff with Brenna; she knew what she did about cycles, and the bottom line was that if she missed her bleed week; she was with child. "Wow…I…Never guess that would be the reason. I knew it was possible, but…Didn't think it would happen so fast," Brenna finally said.

"Yeah, tell me about it," Hiccup took a deep breath. Alright, so Brenna was pregnant, and he was going to be a father much sooner than he thought. "Uh, Gothi, do you have anything that can help with the throwing up?" Gothi nodded as she went rummaging through a few things and pulled out what she wanted; then handed it to Brenna. Gothi wrote something and Hiccup nodded to her. "Thank you," Gothi smiled at them, bowing her head as Brenna got off the cot and left with Hiccup.

"What's this for, you didn't say," Brenna inquired.

"It's something you can make into a tea to drink that will help with the sickness," Hiccup informed.

"Oh, alright. That might be helpful to get through the day," Brenna said. "So…We're gonna have a baby. Wow…" she took a deep breath.

"Yeah, I-I guess so," Hiccup nodded.

"We should tell your dad, and send word to my parents…" Brenna mentioned.

"Let's just…Give it a few days," Hiccup stated. He should have noticed something off right away with his abilities; focusing more now, Brenna's scent was different around her stomach. Hiccup could smell the baby. It's not that he wasn't happy, but of course, this was the worst time. Now on top of Chieftain training, forge work, and Brenna being pregnant; Hiccup had to stop the raids for good. "I'm still sitting with it…" Hiccup admitted.

"Of course, that's fine," Brenna put her hand on his arm as they walked.

. . .

(Berk; Haddock House)

Returning to their home; Brenna instantly went to start on the tea that would help her nausea and throwing up. Hiccup went to his office, closing and locking the door from the inside. After sitting down; he lowered his head onto his arms and took a deep breath to try and calm down.

"Toothless?" Hiccup said to his friend.

"Yeah? What's up?" Toothless replied.

"We need to kick it into high gear with finding the source of the raids. My time is running scarcely short…" Hiccup informed.

"What happened now? Is your dad going to make you Chief earlier than expected?" Toothless inquired.

"No. No, much worse. Brenna is pregnant with the next Heir to the Hooligan Tribe. Which will likely cause a chain reaction that my dad makes me Chief sooner…" Hiccup said.

"Well, that does put a rush on things. On a completely different note, congratulations on your soon-to-be fatherhood. And nice job managing to get her pregnant on the first try!" Toothless said cheerfully.

"I WASN'T TRYING!" Hiccup yelled.

"Even better!" Toothless chuckled.

"Zip it, Toothless. Just…Get ready for a fly; I'm coming in a few minutes. I need to be in the air right now…" Hiccup sighed.

"Hey, on a serious note, Hiccup; stop stressing. Everything will be alright," Toothless said.

"Can you promise that?" Hiccup questioned.

"Of course. You got something no one else does," Toothless reminded.

"And that is?" Hiccup wondered.

"Me as your best friend. It's gonna work out, trust me. Now, come on; let's go flying," Toothless stated as Hiccup smiled. He was ridiculously lucky to have Toothless, and his friend was right. No one else was best friends with a Night Fury. It was stressful, and time-consuming to have these responsibilities, but everything would work out. Hiccup had to believe in that, or he wasn't going to survive before he turned nineteen. Hiccup left the office and headed out where Brenna was making the tea still.

"I, uh, have a couple of things to do today, now that all this is figured out. I'll…See you for lunch still?" Hiccup asked her.

"Of course," Brenna smiled.

"Alright, see you later," Hiccup kissed her cheek and headed outside. As soon as he was out, he snuck around the back and headed into the woods to get to the cove. Hiccup needed to fly with Toothless; he needed that freedom right now.
