After the ceremony had ended with Stoick announcing them as Mr. and Mrs. Haddock, the party was in full swing on the Island of Frigg. There was food, music, dancing, laughing, talking and not a single person who wasn't smiling. Today was perfect in every sense of the word for them, except for Astrid getting sick right before the ceremony. However, thanks to Hiccup, that was taken care of rather quickly. Hiccup and Astrid had their own table, but Emma sat with them of course, and boy did she love being able to call Astrid 'Mommy' all the time now. As for everyone else who was sitting around, there was no real order for it except that Stoick, Valka, Alva, and Hilda sat at one table together and the others were just scattered or moving around to enjoy the festivities.

"You know, you haven't danced with me since my birthday," Astrid poked her new husband's arm.

"Oh, I haven't? Let's fix that then," Hiccup replied as he got up and took her hand in his while leading her to the open area of where the celebration was being held. Once in position and eyes locked to one another, they started dancing, and the music changed while they did to something to fit the mood. While this was going on, others quieted down and took their seats to just watch. Hiccup and Astrid continued their dancing for the next three minutes before stopping and sharing a kiss and the guests clapping for them. Hiccup and Astrid moved back to the table where their seats were and sat down to relax.

"Is it bad then I don't even see everyone here right now, and it's just us?" Astrid inquired.

"I don't think so. Why? Want it to be just us? We can take off on Toothless, and they couldn't catch us if they tried?" Hiccup offered her as she laughed a little and shook her head.

"In a bit when it gets dark. It's only 4 pm, they all came out for this so we shouldn't be rude to our guests just so we can go make love," Astrid reminded him while closing her eyes and relaxing a some.

"Mommy, are you okay? You look pale," Emma mentioned as Hiccup looked over at Astrid again and noticed it as well.

"I gotta agree with our daughter, you don't look so good right now," Hiccup stated quietly.

"I'm fine. I wasn't feeling well from the moment I woke up this morning, your medicine helped for a little while," Astrid told him.

"It's more than that, Astrid. Come on now, you know I know you better. You say okay and then ten minutes later you are throwing up behind a rock or tree. Talk to me, babe. You've gotten sick a lot in the last month, and you haven't seen Gothi about it. She's here now, why not have her check you over?" Hiccup suggested, but Astrid shook her head.

"It's okay, Hiccup, really. I'm not going to have Gothi check me over while we're celebrating our wedding. I promise if I'm still not feeling well when we get back then I'll go see her about it. Please? I don't want to ru-" Astrid stopped short in her words, and Hiccup saw her heave a bit, then she put a hand to her mouth. Hiccup backed out of his chair and helped her up and just behind the tree line where she hit her knees and threw up harshly.

"Toothless, wing block," Hiccup asked of his friend, Toothless stood on his back legs and spread his wings to block Astrid from view while she puked. Hiccup sighed and made sure her hair was out of the way while rubbing her back in slow, circular motions.

"Hiccup, is Astrid alright?" Hilda questioned.

"She doesn't feel well, just like this morning. Keep Emma busy and send Gothi back here, I want to know what's going on with my wife. This is not the first time in the last month she's gotten sick at random," Hiccup called to his younger sister. Gothi came behind the wing barrier put up by Toothless and offered a small smile to them. "Can you please check over her, Gothi?" he asked after Astrid's throwing up had stopped. The elder of Berk gave him a short nod and motioned for him to have Astrid lay on her back.

Astrid closed her eyes and gave in to his request. Gothi knelt down and performed her regular examination to diagnose common illnesses, then she found a clear spot to write in as Hiccup looked at it. "She's been sick on and off for a month. Mainly tiredness, small bouts of pain, headaches and throwing up," he informed the elder.

"I'm sure it's nothing serious, Hiccup," Astrid mentioned again.

"I'll let Gothi be the judge of that. So, any ideas about this illness, Gothi?" Hiccup inquired. Gothi began to write again, and Hiccup's eyes widened a little as he nervously bit his lower lip and only gave a nod to the old woman. Gothi rubbed her chin slowly while her eyes glanced to Astrid's stomach before the elder placed her hand over it and closed her eyes slowly. Hiccup watched her, Gothi had asked him if he and Astrid had been intimate lately and that's why Hiccup nodded to her. They made love one time two months ago the night of the engagement. Now Gothi's question made sense, she was trying to find out if it could be pregnant or not.

"Why is she touching my stomach?" Astrid questioned slowly.

Finally, Gothi pulled her hand away and smiled at Hiccup. Gothi wrote in the sand just two words: with child. Hiccup's eyes grew wide with shock. Astrid was with child! She was pregnant with his child! Gothi continued to write: two months in. He was going to be a father! Again! "Thank you, Gothi." Hiccup helped Astrid to sit up since it was evident she was confused. "Astrid, you're pregnant. That's why you've been so sick lately," Hiccup held her hands as her eyes turned to widen now.

"I-I'm...pregnant?" Astrid looked back and forth at them as a smile came to her face now. She was pregnant with Hiccup's baby!

"Astrid we're going to have a baby, this is...fantastic news!" Hiccup exclaimed with a happy smile plastered on his face as he helped her up to her feet and hugged her. "Let's just go out there and tell everyone, Emma first." he chuckled as Astrid nodded, "You can lower them, bud," Hiccup called to his friend. Toothless put his wings down and returned to being on four legs while everyone was looking at them curiously as to what was going on. "Em, come here princess," he cooed. Emma got free from her aunt's arms and hurried to her father and new mother.

"What is it, Papa. Is Mommy okay?" Emma asked quickly. Hiccup knelt down and placed Emma on his knee with a smile.

"Mommy is just fine, baby girl. I wanted to ask you something, do you remember what you asked me on Snoggletog for Odin to bring you?" Hiccup questioned her as it was quiet and everyone was listening carefully.

"Um, I wanted a baby brother or sister," Emma beamed happily, a few others chuckled a little at the request.

"Well, it might come a bit late, but you got your wish," Hiccup watched the smile on Emma's face light up with wide eyes and everyone else gasped.

"REALLY, PAPA?! I'm gonna get to be a big sister?!" Emma exclaimed happily barely able to contain the excitement.

"You certainly are, Emma. Mommy and Daddy are going to have a baby. Odin blessed us with a child that I'm carrying in my belly, and he or she will be born in seven months," Astrid said now with a happy smile. Emma used her father's knee to get higher up as she put her hands on Astrid's belly and kissed it.

"I can't wait to meet you!" Emma stated. "I love you little brother or sister!" she added then got down and started running over to Stingwhip and the other dragons to tell them about it while Hiccup and Astrid chuckled looking to their family and friends who undoubtedly wanted an explanation about all this.

"What are you gonna do, get her pregnant tonight and hope it's born early to meet that deadline?" Snotlout asked.

"For the love of," Hiccup facepalmed hard, "Astrid is already pregnant. We made love the night I proposed to her two months ago,"

"You know the traditions, Hiccup. I explained them countless times." Stoick smacked his face and brought his hand down slow.

"It's not his fault, Stoick. He told me about them, and I pushed him to do it because I wanted it. I know the traditions, both partners to be wed are supposed to stay pure until the wedding night. However, Hiccup isn't pure and wasn't when he and I made love. He was married once before to Selby and has Emma, his Heir to Berk when he becomes Chief after you, Stoick. It didn't matter if Hiccup and I made love early because he already has a legitimate Heir." Astrid explained quickly.

"When did this even happen?" Hilda questioned.

"I already said that. Two months ago on the night, I proposed to her. We snuck off with Toothless and Stormfly for the evening and returned before the sun came up to make it seem like we'd been in the nest all night. Astrid and I were making love for five hours on Dragon Island," Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Let's be happy that Astrid and I are married...and she's two months pregnant with another Berk Heir?" Hiccup asked.

"A-And that Emma gets her wish of being a big sister!" Astrid added in quickly. Toothless and Stormfly came beside them next and started growling as the warning to just deal with it.

"I know it's not the most ideal situation but come on, this is a party, and now we have one more thing to celebrate. I'm over the moon about the news even with how unexpected it is, I can't wait to be a Dad again. On top of that, I got to marry the love of my life an hour ago, I have my friends, family, my best friend...I'm happier than I could have ever imagined." Hiccup informed calmly. "So let's just all go back to having a good time, okay?"

Feeling like they didn't have much of a choice anymore between the fact they were being growled at by two dragons and Hiccup was asking them to just accept it because he and Astrid were happy about the news, they all sighed and smiles returned to faces. "He's right, it doesn't matter," Valka got up to hug them both.

"Agreed. We're celebrating a marriage between these two, the love that brought them here and made that child. It's a blessing to me," Colby smiled.

"It's fine by me!" Hilda giggled happily. Now things were coming around again, the party resuming to its former fun before Astrid got sick and the announcement of her being with child. The celebrations continued well into the night when around 8:30 pm, Hiccup, and Astrid mounted their dragons and left the Island of Frig, promising to return to Berk in seven days. For them, this was one of the best days of their new lives together.

(Seven Months Later)

Astrid was due any day to have hers and Hiccup's baby. Everything had been perfect since their wedding day, from leaving there they traveled around the Archipelago and even a little outside of it where Hiccup showed her how life was different from their own. Astrid loved the sightseeing from the back of her dragon, staying in an inn, sleeping on the ground with their dragons around a campfire. Of course, as all newly married couples did, they made love and Hiccup removed her Kransen. Astrid took his sword, and the both of them dropped those items off with their parents the next morning before actually starting their little vacation. Emma stayed with Hiccup's parents but hung out with Astrid's during the day. When Hiccup and Astrid returned, he put her on a no flying ban after three months along so she wouldn't risk the baby.

As planned, they were staying in the ice nest for their place to live. It made no sense to build a whole new home when Hiccup had one in the nest, and all they needed to do was add a new room for the baby. Also in a strange turn of events, Drago's Bewilderbeast returned to Berk and begged for Hiccup's and Toothless's forgiveness where he explained that Drago was hurting the other dragons to make him obey, so he agreed to keep the others safe in a way. Now that Bewilderbeast who was named by Hiccup as Blaster was living in the nest with them but Toothless was still alpha. Not everyone had been keen on it at the start, but Blaster proved he wouldn't cause trouble and he was accepted now.

For Hiccup, as Astrid suspected, right when Hiccup got back from his and Astrid's vacation, his father was talking about starting his Chief training since he was twenty-one now. Shockingly, Hiccup turned the position down to become Chief of Berk. It was surprising to everyone, mainly Stoick. Hiccup outright said he had enough responsibility being the voice of peace between Vikings and dragons, on top of being head dragon trainer, rider, father, and husband. Hiccup didn't want anything else on his plate so to speak, so he respectfully handed it over to Hilda to be the next ruler of Berk. Written in the laws, an Heir could start training at seventeen and take over at eighteen if the Chief felt they were ready. Since Hiccup turned twenty-one during Snoggletog, that meant that Hilda turned seventeen recently.

Hiccup spent most of his time working on the baby's room which was right beside Hiccup and Astrid's, separated by only a door to make getting in and out easier but for the first six months or so Astrid planned on keeping the baby in their room to make feedings easier. Now here they were just waiting out the days until the birth, neither of them could wait.

"I will be so thankful when this baby comes out," Astrid huffed. She loved that she was about to be a Mom again but hated that she couldn't fly Stormfly right now or that it was hard to get around without help.

"Settle down, Love. Soon enough," Hiccup chuckled at his wife's impatientness.

"Easy for you to say, you aren't carrying the baby, and you can still fly your dragon!" Astrid grumbled.

"You're right, I could be out flying Toothless right now. But I'm not, babe. I'm here with you and our growing baby because I want to be." Hiccup smiled as Astrid crossed her arms over her chest. Hiccup smiled softly as he moved in closer and kissed her neck in the spot that drove her wild, right below the ear. Astrid shivered a bit and dropped her arms down while the smile returned to her face, even a light moan escaping her lips. "There you go, just relax," he soothed against her ear.

"Hiccup, you know that turns me on," Astrid reminded.

"It also relaxes you so let me do my job. You need to calm down," Hiccup pressed his lips to Astrid's neck again and brought a hand over to massage her breast carefully, and Astrid moaned again. "Emma is out of the house with your parents on a little fishing trip, my parents are teaching Hilda how to be Chieftess, the dragons are content, and our friends are doing their jobs around the village. It's just us right now," he murmured gently as Astrid let her body relax.

"Oh, come on. You don't want me right now, I look terrible," Astrid muttered.

"I beg to differ, I still find you drop dead gorgeous my beautiful wife," Hiccup smiled as his hand slipped past her belly and towards her leggings, "I have never wanted you more than I do right now," he inquired seductively. Astrid blushed and went to nod to him to go ahead when her face suddenly turned to shock and maybe worry.

"Hiccup, my water broke," Astrid said slowly.

It took Hiccup a minute to realize what she said, and he only noticed because he felt the wetness on her leggings, at this, his eyes widened. "Wait, what?!"

"MY WATER JUST BROKE, HICCUP!" she practically yelled at him as he quickly got off the bed and began to panic.

"Alright, it's okay. I'll go get Gothi and my Mom," Hiccup said.

"Don't you dare leave me here alone!" Astrid demanded while beginning to cringe from the pain she felt.

"Okay, okay. I won't just...take it easy, babe. Toothless! Go get my Mom and Gothi, Astrid's having the baby!" Hiccup yelled to his friend.

"I'M ON IT!" and with that, Toothless was gone moments later while Hiccup started getting everything they would need such as a boiled knife, towels, two buckets of warm water and setting everything up in the bedroom before he took his place beside her, holding her hand in his.

"Ssh, I know it hurts. Breathe through them," Hiccup instructed to his wife who was on the verge of tears from the pain. Gothi and Valka ran in as fast as their legs would carry them.

"What happened?!" Valka panted out quickly.

"Astrid's water broke twenty minutes ago," Hiccup informed while dabbing a cold cloth on her forehead and keeping all his focus on her.

Then he paused looking to his mother, "And don't even think about kicking me out either, screw the traditions but I was with Selby for Emma's birth, and I will be here for this birth too. It's not negotiable," he added sternly.

"I wasn't going to argue, now what do we say to having this baby." Valka smiled having now caught her breath. Hiccup smiled and nodded, then Astrid did the same. For the next thirty minutes, it was all checking Astrid and coaching her through the breathing of the pains she felt and then finally, it was time to push. Valka already told Hiccup that everyone was outside the nest or some being in the area where the dragons were waiting for news about the baby. After five good pushes, in the silence, a loud wail was heard emitting from Hiccup and Astrid's bedroom.

"You did it, baby!" Hiccup leaned over and kissed her deeply before looking back to his mother who was holding the crying newborn in her arms, cutting the cord with Gothi's help, then cleaned the baby off with the warm water before she wrapped it up and handed the baby to Astrid to feed.

"Congratulations you two, you have a healthy baby boy. Should I go tell the others?" Valka asked him.

"Yes, and let them know the child's name is Reynir Haddock," Hiccup told her, Valka nodded with a bright smile as she and Gothi left to make the announcement little Reynir's birth. Hiccup just stared awestricken almost at the sight of his new son being held by the woman he loved. Not more than fifteen minutes later after the feeding was over, Toothless let Hiccup know that Emma was back and wanted to meet her baby brother, so Hiccup got up to let her and anyone else waiting inside. This group of people was his parents, Astrid's parents, Hilda, Gobber, and their friends. Emma ran in only to be picked up by her father. "Easy now, Em. He's little and fast asleep with Mommy,"

Emma nodded as Hiccup walked her over and let her see him up close, "Hi Reynir, I'm Emma! Your big sister," she introduced herself as everyone else crowded around but still leaving some space for them. Hiccup was over the moon about it all. Here he was standing in a room of friends and family to all admire his and Astrid's newborn son. But for Hiccup, it was so much more than the birth of a new child, this was a grand culmination of everything he'd been through.

Hiccup had placed Emma down on Toothless's neck so she could still see little Reynir, it was now that Astrid sat up a little and put Hiccup's son in his arms for him to hold. It was this moment that made everything worthwhile. Hiccup was holding his new child while standing beside his wife and daughter and surrounded by everyone he held near and dear to him.

It was just incredible to think that twenty-one years ago this is where it all started, and though for nineteen of those years he wasn't on Berk, it was where he ended up again and happier than he ever could have imagined he'd be because this was his amazing life and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
