(Tyrsdagr, Harpa; Morning)
(Berk; Haddock Hut)

It had been about five weeks since everything happened. Hiccup was still Chief of the Hooligan Tribe, and everyone else who wasn't a member of said Tribe had gone back to their islands. Before leaving, Hiccup helped each Chieftain and Heir or Heiress bond to a dragon, train, and fly them. This would not make traveling to each other's islands a lot easier alongside the Terror Mail, which was still in effect. As promised with the war over, Hiccup got Brenna her dragon, and it turned out to be Venomfire, the male Deadly Nadder. A lot of construction had begun to provide stables attached to houses, and the kill ring had become the Berk Dragon Training Academy. This school was run by Fishlegs, who showed the most promise in Dragon Training when it came to facts and understanding how bonding, training, and flying went.

The Berk friends had dragons of their own too, obtained when the Chieftains and Heirs got theirs. Astrid had a female Deadly Nadder named Stormfly. Hookfang bonded with Snotlout. The twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, were sharing a male Hideous Zippleback, each had had its name. Ruffnut's was Barf, and Tuffnut's was Belch. Fishlegs had a female Gronckle named Meatlug. Hiccup entrusted his dragon manual to Fishlegs during lessons but was to give it back at the end of the day during dinner. Valka had Cloudjumper back, Stoick and Gobber had dragons too. Stoick had a male Thunderdrum named Thornado, and Gobber bonded with a male Hotburple he called Grump.

Everything was going well for everyone; Hiccup had indefinitely brought in a new era of peace to the Archipelago. Overall, everyone was happier with how things were now. Also, Hiccup's friends staying too. None of them had any place better to be, so why leave? Today, Hiccup was going to plan something for Brenna, since it was her nineteenth birthday, on the first day of their Summer months. However, Brenna had been a bit sick, so Hiccup was holding off until he knew how she felt. It started during lunch the day before, Brenna complained of feeling tired and her stomach bothering her. Hiccup told her to go home and rest up, and then at dinner, Brenna said she didn't feel better and was going to miss the meal. Hiccup got home shortly after and Brenna was still not feeling well.

Hiccup was already up and had taken his flight with Toothless. Now, he was back home and about to check on Brenna before heading out to start first of the morning duties.

"Wait here, bud," Hiccup told him as he headed upstairs to see if Brenna was awake, or possibly in the bath. "Milady?" Hiccup asked as he headed into the room. Brenna was awake and groaned while Hiccup made his way to her, holding her hand in his. "Not feeling any better, are you?"

"I'm alright, just sore, babe," Brenna managed. "I'll be alright once I get going," she offered. "Can you help me up?"

Hiccup nodded as he stood and brought Brenna to her feet, and steadied her until she had her balance. "You alright?"

Brenna smiled. "I will be once I bathe, and get some breakfast in me,"

"Okay. If you need me while I'm out working; send a message," Hiccup stated, placing a light kiss on her lips. "Come on, Toothless!" he called to his friend. The two headed out to start the day as Brenna sighed heavily; she went to bathe, hoping it might help.

(Midday)
(Berk; Gothi's Hut)

Brenna did her best to push through everything; she made something to eat after the bath and ended up puking within fifteen minutes. Brenna rested a bit, and power cleaned the house. Brenna did laundry and hung everything to dry, but now it was lunchtime, and she didn't feel up to eating. The thought was making her sick to her stomach.

I should see Gothi. Brenna thought; she gathered a few things and headed out of the house. After arriving, Gothi brought her right in with an inviting smile. Thankfully, Brenna found one of Hiccup's books about reading other languages and symbols, so she studied runes and could speak with Gothi alone. Gothi motioned for Brenna to go ahead and talk about what was bothering her. "I've been feeling sick since yesterday at lunch. I'm tired, achy; certain foods make me want to throw up," she explained.

Gothi rubbed her chin a little and then had Brenna lay down so that she could check her over. Brenna did so and stayed quiet as Gothi did her thing. Finally, the woman began writing in the sand as Brenna sat up to look and read. "Have you gotten your cycle? No. I'm due for it in a few days," Brenna replied. Gothi started again. "Last month?" Brenna thought about the question. Did she get her period last month? What happened last month? Hiccup's birthday, Hiccup becoming Chief, the Drago thing, the meeting, all the dragon training. But no, Brenna couldn't recall ever starting her cycle. Nervously, Brenna shook her head to the elder.

Gothi started to write again. "I think you may be pregnant," Brenna read off, then blinked. "Y-You do?" Gothi nodded again. "Oh, Gods! I-I have to tell Hiccup right away!" she exclaimed, but Gothi stopped her and wrote; not yet. "Wait until you're due for your cycle this month, and if you do not get it on the day, come see me again. Alright, I will, Elder Gothi. Thank you," Brenna nodded.

(Laugardgr, Harpa; Morning)
(Berk; Gothi's Hut)

Brenna enjoyed her nineteenth birthday, and it also happened to land on Hiccup and Brenna's first anniversary of being married. Neither of them realized it a year ago because the wedding had them busy, so it was a nice surprise that they enjoyed one year of marriage on top of Brenna turning nineteen. Hiccup and Brenna enjoyed their celebration later on with some love-making. However, the days passed, and Brenna did not get her period yesterday when it should have been due, so here she was once more at Gothi's to inform her.

"Hi, Gothi…I'm back," Brenna smiled. Gothi smiled and allowed her in. Brenna took a seat on the cot as Gothi came over. "I never got my bleeding yesterday. No cramps or anything," she stated. "Does…This mean I'm pregnant?" she asked, hopeful.

There was another knock on the door as Gothi tapped her staff, and in walked Thordia, Colden's new wife. "Hi, Brenna," she greeted.

"Hi, Thordia. What brings you by?" Brenna inquired.

"I'm Gothi's assistant since I'm a doctor too. Hiccup suggested this might be a good job for me as part of the Tribe, and to sort of train under Gothi as the next elder. Anyway, we have a modern way of checking for pregnancy. I went out after I talked to Gothi with my dragon and picked up what we needed; that's why I was missing for a few days," Thordia giggled a little.

"Alright. I'm ready…" Brenna said.

"Okay, all I need you to do is pee in this cup," Thordia informed, holding it out. Brenna questioned things but went with it. Brenna took the cup and went off into the restroom, doing her business and coming back out holding the cup carefully. Thordia took it and pulled out a white stick, dipping it into the cup and pulling it out a few seconds later. Brenna sat down but watched still. Thordia set the stick down and dumped the rest of the cup.

"What is that thing?" Brenna asked.

"It's a pregnancy test. We use them outside of the Archipelago; there's something like a signal in your pee when your pregnant that the test picks up. So if we get one line, you're not pregnant, and if we get two, you are," Brenna nodded, sitting and trying to relax, but the thought of her being pregnant was both exciting and terrifying.

"A-Am I?" Brenna asked when she saw Thordia return to the test and lift it carefully.

"Two lines for sure; you're pregnant, Brenna," Thordia smiled. "Now…Gothi mentioned you missed your period last month, right?" Brenna nodded, trying to stay semi-relaxed. "And you missed this one…So that means you're probably…" Thordia paused. "About three weeks away from being three months pregnant, and in the safe zone from miscarriages!"

"S-So if the baby survives another three weeks…E-Everything will be okay?" Brenna asked, incredibly hopeful now.

Thordia nodded, smiling. "We're still going to watch you like a hawk, though. And no alcohol or flying your dragon. No lifting anything heavy, and stick to water and healthy foods,"

"That's…That's fine!" Brenna said, happy as she ever could be. "I-I have to tell Hiccup!" she got up and hurried out to find her husband.

. . .

(Berk; The Village)

Once outside, Brenna scanned around the area. How hard could it be to find a skinny Viking with a Night Fury? Not that hard. Brenna spotted Hiccup near the Great Hall. Being careful, Hiccup moseyed over to him and dragged him aside with her.

"What the-Bren, what are you doing?" Hiccup said quickly.

"Come with me for a sec," Brenna urged, trying to pull him still.

"B-But I have a meeting, Milady," Hiccup protested.

"Hiccup, just shut up and come with me for five minutes! Please? It's important…" Brenna begged. Hiccup sighed as he nodded.

"Kro! Reschedule for after lunch. The wife needs me for something," Hiccup sighed.

"Got it, Chief," Krogan nodded, heading into the Great Hall to deliver the message. Brenna brought Hiccup with her across the way and into their house.

. . .

(Berk; Haddock Hut)

"Okay, so what's up, babe? This is a meeting about fishing, hunting, and farming for the Summer months…It's not something I should be pushing back," Hiccup stated.

Brenna grinned almost, holding Hiccup's hands in hers. "I'm pregnant,"

Hiccup froze, staring at her. "Wh-What?" he asked to check that he heard right.

"I'm pregnant, Hiccup," Brenna repeated, still smiling.

"A-Are you…Sure? Ho-How do you know?" Hiccup inquired.

"Well, I've been sick for a while now, on and off, with some days worse than others. I decided to see Gothi on Tyrsdagr, and she thought I might be pregnant because I missed my bleeding week last month. However, she said to come back today because I was due for another cycle yesterday and missed it again. So I went there this morning, and Thordia had some…Modern test for pregnant. It came back that I am!" Brenna explained the best she could while trying to stay calm for Hiccup to process everything.

"S-So you…Definitely are pregnant?!" Hiccup questioned. Brenna nodded her head up and down quickly. "This is…Amazing! Oh, my Gods!" Hiccup hugged her quickly, being careful and not spinning her around, but still showing his excitement.

"And this isn't even the best part," Brenna continued.

"Yeah?" Hiccup blinked, curious.

"Thordia says that if the baby makes it another three weeks…I'll be three months along and safe from miscarriages!" Brenna informed.

"Re-Really?! That's…That's fantastic! Trust and do whatever that woman says; she's an amazing doctor. I have her training under Gothi to be the next elder," Hiccup chuckled.

"I know, I know; she told me when I saw her there. I must have gotten pregnant when you became Chief; we were doing it a lot that week," Brenna giggled, blushing.

"I realized you might be fertile that week. But this is great! We should tell everyone tonight at dinner, and send word to your parents," Hiccup mentioned.

"Wait…Should we? Last time we were gonna tell everyone, I…" Brenna got nervous.

"Hey, hey…Relax. It's okay. I know, babe. But this is different; you're already much farther along than those other times, and I feel like this is the one. Everything is settled and right as it should be…I think this is the one I told you we'd get when things were right…Don't panic or stress out. It's going to be okay; I promise…" Hiccup assured, holding her close. Brenna returned the embrace.

"Okay…Okay…Let's tell everyone tonight," Brenna nodded. Hiccup kissed her deeply; this was the one. He felt that strongly, this would be the baby that survived and started their family.

. . .

(Dusk)
(Berk; The Great Hall)

The day went on was Brenna and Hiccup both kept quiet about the pregnancy. Only Gothi and Thordia knew besides the expecting parents, so it would be a surprise to everyone. Hiccup worked hard to finish his tasks on time to join Brenna for lunch at the house; that way they could discuss tonight and how to do it. Since Hiccup gave the announcements; Brenna suggested that he make it known before the meal began. Hiccup agreed, and that's where they were now; it the Great Hall for dinner. When everyone arrived, Hiccup knew it was time; he signaled for the doors to be closed as he stood.

"Alright. Everyone settle down now…" Hiccup tried. No good. Hiccup rolled his eyes as Brenna closed her ears and Hiccup let out the whistle, which got everyone to hush. "Now that I have your attention; I do have one quick announcement to make before we eat," he started.

"What's up, Chief?" Gobber asked.

Hiccup chuckled as he pulled Brenna up beside him, wrapping his arm around her waist. "I'm pleased to announce that my wife is pregnant with the next Berk Heir!" there were gasps and then an uproar or cheering and clapping. Hiccup held Brenna in his arms, leaning in and kissing her deeply.
