Hiccup couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. Their friends were there, in his and Astrid's house and god only knew how much they heard. The scream from Astrid is what got him to his senses and he reacted as any man would, "For the love of...Turn the fuck around, all of you!" Hiccup snapped, they all turned around facing the other way. Hiccup led her to her room and shut the door for her. He crossed his arms over his chest angrily. "What the hell do you think you're doing here, and barging in without notice!" Hiccup asked.

"So–sorry! You both left your bags in our cars so we brought them back to you..." Ruffnut said quickly.

"And no one could of called first! Or knocked maybe?" Hiccup asked then.

"We tried! No one answered the phone or the door, it was unlocked so we came in to wait." Snotlout replied. Astrid came out of the room now, her stance matching Hiccup's with her arms crossed over her chest angrily.

"You could of left them in the garage for us, then left a text to let us know! You didn't have to come in! Gods...how much did you all hear..." Astrid asked now.

"Everything from 'I'm so close, don't stop' to now..." Eret pointed out now. Astrid hid her face from embarrassment behind Hiccup's shoulder now.

"W–was that...your guys...first time?" Heather asked now.

"I don't see how that is any of your damn business!" Hiccup yelled now. Heather backed up into Tuffnut a little scared. Astrid was scary when she was mad, but Hiccup was down right terrifying.

"Sorry!" Heather squeaked out.

"Oh Gods! No one was supposed to find out..." Astrid whimpered softly. Hiccup sighed as he turned and pulled her against his chest now, she kept her face hidden.

"Just put the bags down and go already..." Hiccup mumbled. Eret and Snotlout put their bags down on the couch and slowly backed away. "Not a word, to anyone. Got it. I'll know if someone talked..." Hiccup warned.

"G–got it, Hiccup...Y–you sure we can't...hang out? I–I mean...we know now..." Dagur asked.

"Up to you babe..." Hiccup said looking down to her.

"It's fine...but for the love of Thor, don't ever just walk in to our house without us knowing again!" Astrid yelled at them. They all nodded quickly to her. She sighed as Hiccup kissed her forehead and then sat with her on the couch. It was an awkward silence between them. Astrid rolled her eyes looking at them now. "For Odin's sake, someone say something!" Astrid yelled finally.

"Uh...um...G–guys a little help?" Snotlout said looking at the friends now.

"Was it good?" Ruffnut asked. Hiccup smacked his forehead as Astrid's eyes widened. "Oh come on! You really think someone wasn't going to ask? Hello! We just walked in hearing you having sex, yes I'm going to ask if it was good! So...?" Ruffnut asked again.

"What do you think babe?" Astrid asked looking up at Hiccup now.

"Whatever you're comfortable telling them is okay with me." Hiccup replied softly. Astrid looked at them who all seemed to be on edge waiting for the reply.

"Okay fine, it wasn't good...it was god damn amazing." Astrid said with blush as Hiccup chuckled a bit.

"Wow...Never thought you'd go all the way Astrid! You kept saying not until you were married!" Heather added now.

"Technically...we are." Hiccup said as they held up their hands, the rings from the day of the wedding were still in their places on their fingers.

"Like for real married though! Especially after the whole Eret thing, we thought for sure you'd never do it." Tuffnut said.

"Okay, can we NOT talk about that...Its in the past, I'd like to leave it there...No offense, Eret..." Astrid said quickly.

"None taken. It shocked me but hey, if you're happy then whatever. But I agree with her, can we not discuss that whole thing? Astrid and I weren't meant to be, if we were then we'd still be together. But we're not, she's with Hiccup and if with him she felt ready then I'm cool with it." Eret said to them. Hiccup nodded to him, a silent thank you for not wanting to talk about it as well.

"But seriously, not a word to anyone...I'm 18, she's 17. Its against the law for an adult to sleep with a minor even though she turns 18 next week..." Hiccup reminded them.

"No worries we got your back bro." Snotlout told him.

"Thanks guys...Alright, I know two girls want details so I'm going to go make dinner, anything you want babe?" Hiccup asked her now as he got up.

"Um...how about just something easy like mac and cheese, ooh with hot dogs!" Astrid giggled now.

"Coming right up mi'lady!" Hiccup announced with a bow.

"We'll help!" Eret, Dagur, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Tuffnut said together getting up and walking after him in to the kitchen.

"Guys, making mac and cheese and seriously a one man job..." Hiccup sighed, "Oh I get it, you don't want to hear the sex talk the girls are inevitably going to talk about?" Hiccup asked them arching a brow with a grin.

"You were always the smart one, Hic!" Snotlout exclaimed, Hiccup only laughed getting out the big pot to fill it with water and then on the stove to boil.

"Really, nothing much happened. Little to much fun started in the shower...My fault." Astrid blushed lightly now.

"I wasn't complaining babe." Hiccup chuckled now.

"Yes you did! Mister 'It was only supposed to be a shower'. You complained until I almost slipped in the shower before taking me to the bedroom." Astrid responded sticking her tongue out at him with a giggle.

"Because shower sex is dangerous! Been proven in many studies!" Hiccup protested with a finger up. Astrid laughed shaking her head.

"Okay! Don't need that many details!" Dagur yelled now closing his ears with his hands.

"So that wasn't your first time I take it?" Fishlegs asked now.

"You'd be correct my friend." Hiccup nodded smiling as he turned to check the water.

"When was the first time?" Heather asked looking at Astrid who blushed madly.

"Romantic getaway at the hotel...The night you saw us on TV." Hiccup replied now.

"Ha! Knew it!" Ruffnut exclaimed. "You all owe me 10 bucks!" She pointed at the others.

"Are you kidding me? You were making bets on when Hiccup and I would have sex!" Astrid yelled very embarrassed now.

"Well duh!...Come on, you two are always all over each other. No way Hiccup was taking you to dinner, then a hotel for the weekend, the new amusement park, and you two not do it." Dagur laughed with the others.

"Actually, I had no intention of sleeping with her unless she wanted me to." Hiccup shrugged. "I made a promise to never force her to do anything she didn't want to do. All I want is her happiness." Hiccup smiled winking at Astrid as he turned to start cooking now that the water was boiling.

"So you were protected right?..." Heather asked next.

"Oh my God, of course we were!" Astrid blushed then sighed heavily.

"So how many times have you two done it?" Eret asked.

"4 including tonight." Hiccup answered stirring the macaroni.

"Wait, really?" Tuffnut asked.

"Night in the hotel, that next morning before we came home, the fake wedding, and tonight." Hiccup nodded.

"Thought you would of done it a lot more..." Ruffnut chuckled.

"Okay, this is getting awkward...can we please change the subject?!" Astrid asked pleadingly.

"She's right guys. It's our personal business...You know we've had sex, and obviously still do...can we drop it now?" Hiccup stated now pouring the macaroni in to the strainer, then back to the pot adding milk, butter, and the cheese. Afterwards he got some hot dogs, gave them a quick blast in the microwave before cutting them up and adding them to the mac and cheese, then giving it all a good stir together. "Grab a plate, time to eat." He said to them. They all moved to the kitchen now and got a bowl full of mac and cheese, sitting at the table and beginning to eat.

"So what's after this babe, we going to find our what our first married problem is?" Astrid asked him.

"Yeah. Good thing they brought our bags back, because the envelope is in there..." Hiccup chuckled. "BUT NEXT TIME YOU FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Hiccup warned them quickly.

"Aye sir!" They all replied. He started to eat again with a smile. After 30 minutes, Astrid was doing dishes in the kitchen while Hiccup cleaned up the table, the others were sitting around the living room. Hiccup heard panting and looked at Astrid who was leaning over the sink a bit.

"Hic...can we maybe...turn the heat down?" Astrid asked softly.

"Sure babe. Hey, Legs! Thermostat is by the front door, can you flip it down to 50?" Hiccup called to him.

"On it!" Fishlegs said getting up now and turning it down. "All set, Hiccup!" Fishlegs called back.

"You alright babe?" Hiccup asked going behind her now.

"Y–yeah...didn't I ever tell you that to much heat can make me nauseated?..." Astrid smiled a bit looking at him.

"No actually, you didn't. I'll be sure to remember that next time. Why don't you go sit down, I'll finish in here." Hiccup offered to her.

"But you cooked...I can handle a few..." She stopped covering her mouth again and trying to hold back from puking. Hiccup pulled the garbage over as Astrid bent over it throwing up harshly and coughing a bit. Hiccup sighed and rubbed her back with a soft circle motion until she stopped.

"And that's why you're going to go sit down and let me finish, Astrid. Come on...let me take care of you." Hiccup said to her.

"Is Astrid okay?" Heather asked looking back in to the kitchen.

"Yes, just got a little sick with all the heat...Can you help her to the couch?" Hiccup asked. Heather got up and walked over to them as she led Astrid back in to the living room to sit down as Hiccup finished the dishes, put the leftovers away, and finally took out the garbage.

"Oh I remember now. Whenever Astrid gets to hot, she gets nauseated. That's why she drives with the windows down..." Ruffnut said smiling. Astrid had taken off her sweater now and sitting in Hiccup's tee-shirt from earlier fanning herself lightly. Hiccup brought her a cup of ice water and smiled.

"Thanks babe." Astrid smiled drinking some of it.

"Feel better?" Hiccup asked.

"Yeah...So lets find out what our next part of the project is." Astrid said.

"We're gonna go, it's getting late. Have a good night guys!" Heather said as they all got up, hugging one another and leaving in the two separate cars. Hiccup pulled over his bag and found the envelope tearing it open with a pen and pulling out the few papers that were in it.

"What's it say?" Astrid asked looking over now as she sipped more of the water.

"Well Astrid...I guess we're going to be parents. First problem is that you're suddenly 4 months pregnant..." Hiccup said looking at her. Astrid's mouth dropped open in shock.

"You've got to be joking me...Seriously Hiccup...not even funny. I know your dad wants grand kids and all but this isn't funny..." Astrid told him.

"Babe, I'm not joking. Read it yourself..." Hiccup said handing her the papers. Astrid's blue eyes scanned over everything quickly, her eyes widening with each sentence. She tossed the paper on the table and threw herself back against the couch with a sigh a frustration now.

"Go figure...We couldn't of had losing a job or something? It had to be that!...It's because we're a real couple, isn't it." Astrid mumbled crossing her arms over her chest.

"Babe, it's really not that bad..." Hiccup said as he laid back beside her and kissed her neck lightly, she tried not to smile but couldn't help it.

"Hiccup, stop that tickles!" Astrid giggled out trying to push him off and sit up. Hiccup laughed sitting up with her. "Okay I guess it's not so bad but...come on...I have to do all this stuff...We even have to research everything. A conception date, a due date, pick boy or girl, figure out what tests go along with a standard pregnancy...Listen to this. 'Husband has to support wife in all her decisions' and this 'must show a progressing pregnancy however possible'. What does that even mean?" Astrid asked.

"If I had to take a guess...they want us to try and make you look pregnant. What's the time limit?" Hiccup asked taking the paper from her and looking over it. "2 months, that would put us at...Well we're in the beginning of March. So this would be month 1...month two is April. So the beginning of May we'd have to be done. Right before graduation since they want everyone's project done a month before graduation in June." Hiccup stated.

"So I have to make people think I'm suddenly 4 months pregnant?" Astrid stated to him.

"Not hard. This won't be hard. First step is for it to be revealed so I guess we should work on that first?" Hiccup suggested.

"Yeah, what's on the last page?" Astrid asked, Hiccup flipped to it. "A letter from the teachers to the women who got selected for this particular problem of being pregnant...let me see that for a second..." Astrid said as Hiccup handed it to her. "To all the girls who received this as their project problem. You were selected because of your outstanding personality to handle a complex situation. We carefully selected a mere 3 of you to take part in this because we found by a group vote that since your time in Berk High, you could show strength, courage, high self-esteem, and were not affected by peer pressure. You are not to tell your fellow classmates that it is your project problem. We are desiring to see true reactions from your peers of this pregnancy. However, if the project problem you have been chosen for becomes to much at any time. You may see any one of your teachers about it and they will cancel it and select a new problem from the list that can be completed in the time frame given. Please understand also that the girls girl's chosen for this problem will be asked to keep a journal and make notes of anything that happens. Reactions from others, remarks, and personal feelings. Remember, if at any time it becomes uncomfortable and you feel you cannot complete the task. You will not be penalized for it, tell your teachers and another problem will be given. Each girl is being asked if they are comfortable to give an oral report before the senior class on their findings when they were 'pregnant'. If one does not wish to give an oral report, they are not required to. But are being asked to make things known somewhere in their videos which will be viewed by the senior class through out the last month of school. Thank you. Your principal, Alvin Treachor." Astrid read off now looking at Hiccup.

Wow, so you're one out of 3 who got picked for this babe." Hiccup stated looking over the paper. "It almost seems like a social experiment." Hiccup added.

"What do you mean?" Astrid asked.

"He said not to let anyone know that it's really fake. He wants people to think its real, well our classmates at last. To get a real reaction. If people knew it was fake, they'd brush it off. I think it's the reason this whole project was put in to play for us. Because all that teenage pregnancy crap that happened a few years ago and has continued to be a problem in high school. Kids dropping out, going on welfare...You know? But they couldn't just do a pregnancy project because everyone would catch on that its fake. That's why only 3 were chosen. Small number, less chance. So they made it a school wide project with the marriage thing, to throw different problems in to the mix. That's why he wants the girls to give reports of their findings. So people will understand how much teenage pregnancy affects people with they get labeled a whore or slut. Its degrading to women..." Hiccup explained.

"So you think the whole marriage things is just to cover up this social experiment about teenage pregnancy?" Astrid asked. Hiccup nodded to her. "Wow, that's like...huge to pull off...So that means...we can't tell our friends that me being pregnant is just for show...But wait, we fricken told them tonight our first time was two months ago at the hotel...How do we explain that!" Astrid added. Hiccup thought a moment.

"We'll tell them we had sex in December, after we got together...That will make it believable that you're 4 months pregnant...We'll have to lie, tell them we didn't tell them the truth because we didn't want to get judged...What else can we say? They can know the truth in May..." Hiccup stated.

"I hate lying to them but I suppose we don't have a choice...why do all this crap to us...What purpose does it serve?" Astrid asked.

"I think its to show the other students that their words can affect people. Remember that girl from Edge Prep? She got pregnant at 16 and people gave her so much trouble she killed herself after giving birth...I think that's also why our principal said that at any time you or the others start getting uncomfortable with people's hurtful words, to let a teacher know because they don't want anyone getting hurt. It might be a fake pregnancy to us and the teachers but others are going to think its real and some may not agree, and those reactions and words will be real...Astrid, I don't know about this...we literally have to act like you're pregnant...which means if people make comments...we can't make it known you're really not..." Hiccup sighed looking at her.

"I think the bigger issue is making me 4 months pregnant...Come on...I'm as small as you. Whose going to believe that load of crap? I can't just go back to school on Monday and be pregnant..." Astrid closed her eyes.

"Actually, its possible. Ever seen that show, I didn't know I was pregnant on TLC? Some of those women are smaller than you and were like 7 months pregnant and didn't show but still gave birth to babies that were between 34-38 weeks...I believe the doctors said it was because the pregnancy was centered in the back and that's why they never showed. So we'll say that and when you go to school with a sudden belly we can say that the baby shifted and you just popped I guess..." Hiccup shrugged.

"You're being serious right now? Oh Gods I don't know if I can do this..." Astrid sighed out.

"Astrid, look at me babe...There is no pressure, even the principal said that. If you can't do it, we'll tell them Monday and get something else..." Hiccup told her.

"It's only two months? So they expect me to be 6 months pregnant come May? Going on 7?" Astrid asked.

"Seems like it. Astrid, you don't have to do it..." Hiccup told her.

"I know I don't...but if you're sure we can make it believable...Then I'll do it, as long as you're the one beside me..." Astrid told him softly.

"And where else am I gonna go? Of course you'll have me. I'd never make you go through something like alone..." Hiccup kissed her. "BUT...Astrid...you have to promise me that any time in these two months, it becomes to much...you'll tell me right away. Deal?"

"I promise, Hiccup...I guess I'm now 4 months pregnant...So lets start figuring this out...We got a lot of work to do before Monday." Astrid smiled. Hiccup nodded as they got their notebooks, Hiccup's laptop, and everything else they'd need. From that moment, they started researching everything they could on the subject.
