Today, Hiccup was officially two months pregnant and things were still rough. It was July 2nd, and a Thursday around 10:30 am. Embla would be coming to check on Hiccup, but hadn't arrived just yet. Hiccup had started to show in the pregnancy, he had a very visible bump. Toothless was first to spot it one of the nights they made love in June, and he'd also picked up the heartbeat the night before Embla came to check Hiccup at one month of pregnancy. Embla confirmed the same and congratulated the males again on their child, she also said Hiccup was going good, that the tiredness was to be expected. Ryuka brought up the medicine not working much as Embla said she would speak with Gothi, and Gobber, to try and whip up something stronger for Hiccup to take that would allow him to keep down food because she did agree that Hiccup needed to be able to eat much more than he was managing to hold down now. So far, it appeared Hiccup was indeed pregnant with one baby as no second heartbeat had been detected. Before Embla left, she made Hiccup a new medicine to try and Hiccup reported that he felt a lot better. On the same instructions, Hiccup was to take it before meals, or with them. Hiccup had said it helped to drink it in between while he ate. Embla said whatever worked, as long as he was able to eat.
Hiccup was able to manage the village, and Toothless was always beside his mate. Stoick was on standby, and everyone was doing their best to just update Hiccup and handle their work without needing him to intervene over a problem. Sometimes, it was inevitable, but Hiccup was able to stay calm and do whatever needed to be done. Toothless wasn't feel as guilty as he had the night Hiccup was suffering not being able to eat due to feeling sick and wicked tired, but since Hiccup was doing better; Toothless hoped everything would be okay. He did still feel bad because there were still times Hiccup went through that not really hungry stage Embla warned about and there had been a day or two Hiccup just wanted to sleep. And Hiccup's emotions were all over the place. There were also days that Hiccup completely forgot about the medicine and those were not good days because they had learned if Hiccup didn't take it once in the morning, it wouldn't work if he tried at lunch and dinner. He would just be sick all day, and either couldn't keep food down or managed bread and small bits of fruit. Toothless tried to be on top of Hiccup taking his medicine, but sometimes it slipped both their minds if Hiccup actually woke up that morning and felt okay.
Toothless helped however he could with taking care of the house, doing chores, even giving Hiccup massages. He did anything he could to keep his mate happy, because the fall out of an upset and pregnant Hiccup wasn't good for him, or anyone else in the vicinity. Gobber got an earful from Hiccup when the man had made a disorganized mess in the forge that Hiccup had worked all day on cleaning up. Stoick tried to hug Hiccup to console him, and Hiccup ordered Stoick to stay and help Gobber stay organized. And if anyone laughed at Hiccup's moods, they got yelled at next, or a glare from Toothless when Hiccup would get upset.
Ryuka, thankfully, was the one who usually got Hiccup to settle down and breathe. To remember no stress. Toothless adored and envied his mother's patience. Although, Ryuka had been caught by Toothless, giggling quietly when she saw Hiccup's moods out of whack, the things he'd get upset over. Like now, where Ryuka, Embla, and Draco were outside Hiccup's house and Hiccup was yelling at Toothless for how he folded a shirt.
"Love, I'm sorry…I didn't know you kept your shirts color-organized." Toothless said quickly.
"YOU DID IT WRONG!" Hiccup yelled at his mate.
Toothless bit back. "Forgive me, mate…I will fold them right next time. I prom-,"
"THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FOLDED!" Hiccup's voice made Toothless want to shrink away and disappear. "THEY GET HUNG IN THE CLOSET!"
"Of course, Hiccup. I'm sorry, it slipped my mind…It's been a busy week. It won't happen again…Just calm down, it's alright. Don't get upset…" Toothless tried.
"Busy? BUSY? You're the one that's busy? I'm carrying the baby, and running the village!" Hiccup pointed a finger at him.
Outside, Stoick walked up with Gobber. "He's in a mood, isn't he?" Stoick inquired as Ryuka nodded. "What this time?"
"Apparently, Toothless folded a shirt instead of hanging it and then Toothless said he'd been busy and told Hiccup to calm down." Embla smiled.
"And Hiccup reminded Toothless that he's the one carrying the baby, and running the village." Draco added.
"Ah," Stoick nodded. "I don't see a lot of the women who are pregnant get this emotional, why is it happening to Hiccup?"
"I suspect it's just due to the nature of the pregnancy, Stoick," Ryuka informed. "Hiccup is a male, who is pregnant with a dragon. It's just how Hiccup is responded to this and we said before that we don't know how it works. This is a learning experience for all,"
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE ME GET THIS WAY!" Hiccup screeched.
"Yes, love…I'm sorry," Toothless replied, opening the door. "I'm sure you realized he's in a mood…"
"It was hard to miss," Draco nodded. "It's alright, son…Come on out here to get some air. The girls will check on Hiccup,"
Toothless sighed and let his mother and Embla into the hut while he just stayed outside to relax a little. Yes, he loved Hiccup to death, but right now the smallest things set him off. Hiccup would snuggle up and apologized later, he always did. Toothless understood that Hiccup had no control over his emotions and that's why it was hard to do things for him because if it wasn't just right; Hiccup got the way he was now.
About ten minutes later, Embla came out with Ryuka as Toothless looked at them. "Things are progressing fine, and he's calm again," Embla reported. "Strong heartbeat, growing right. Everyone looks good, the only thing we can't seem to pinpoint is when the birth will happen. But we're going to keep watching and if I start to see signs that it's going to happen soon; I'll start coming every two weeks, or once a week…If we're really close, I'll prepare to stay until it happens."
"Thank you, Embla," Toothless bowed his head to her.
"Your mate was asking for you," Ryuka mentioned.
Toothless turned and entered the house to not see Hiccup. "Hiccup? Where are you, babe?"
"Bedroom," Toothless went over to the bedroom and saw Hiccup sitting on the edge, then Toothless went to sit next to him. "I'm sorry I yelled at you…I shouldn't have, you were only trying to help…"
"Hiccup, it's okay. I'm not holding your emotional state against you…I know your body is going through a new change with being pregnant. I can take it, don't worry," Toothless reassured.
"Yeah, but all the yelling isn't good for me or the baby. Not supposed to get upset, or angry…It's all just stress over stuff I normally don't give a care in the world over." Hiccup mumbled.
"Hiccup, don't get worked up over it. Did you feel better after you yelled at me, getting the frustration out?" Toothless asked.
"A little bit…" Hiccup shrugged.
"So it helped calm you down. And calm is good, so if you have to yell at me to feel better…Go for it. I don't mind, and I can take it." Toothless hugged him lightly.
"You're so good to me…" Hiccup relaxed against his lover.
"I try," Toothless smiled. "I try to be everything you need, get you anything you want or need…I just want you to be happy."
"You and I getting to be together, living this life like anyone else in love and with a family…That's all I need to be happy." Hiccup promised. "Embla said everything looks good with the baby and not to be surprised if I feel movement soon,"
"That's great," Toothless replied. "I just can't wait for our child to be here, in our arms…"
"I know the feeling." Hiccup giggled, looking into his mate's eyes. "I love you, Tooth,"
"I love you too, Hiccup," Toothless said back, then leaned in and kissed Hiccup deeply.
/Lemon Start/
The action quickly turned into making out and then Hiccup easily pulled Toothless down onto him as the kissed got deeper, and more passionate. Toothless broke the kissing to look at his mate lovingly. "I'm all sorts of aroused right now…Help me," Hiccup looked into his eyes.
It was kind of cute to Toothless, but he nodded and went back to making out with his mate. Toothless remembered what Embla said about Hiccup just wanting sex at random, so he definitely wasn't going to deny his mate. Toothless slowly worked off Hiccup's clothes, then his own pants and boots. Toothless moved his lips to Hiccup's neck, kissing and licking while his hand slid down over Hiccup's cock, massaging the appendage lightly.
"Oh, Gods…" Hiccup moaned. "M-More."
Toothless went to sucking Hiccup's neck on the spot the mark was, causing Hiccup to buck his hips upwards. Toothless started stroking Hiccup's length, feeling his mate's cock harden at the touch. Toothless moved down slow, leaving a trail of peppered kisses until Toothless's mouth was at Hiccup's manhood, then licking around the head and starting to move his head up and down.
"Mm! Ah…Toothless," Hiccup gripped the furs under his hands. Toothless kept up his actions for a little bit and then pushed Hiccup's legs up more to access his mate's butt, diving right into licking around the area and tonguing the holes. "Gods!" Hiccup threw his head back, eyes closed while breathing heavily. Toothless did this for a few moments, then he reached to get the lubrication, some kind of oil, and rubbed it over his cock before smearing a bit on Hiccup's ass and then pressing his length into Hiccup, making the man moan loudly. "Thor, yes!"
"Gods, it's so good…" Toothless groaned before beginning to thrust his hips back and forth.
"Tooth, more…Harder, faster…" Hiccup pleaded, obviously seeking relief through release.
Toothless pushed Hiccup's legs up, holding the his thighs and now thrusting faster and harder into Hiccup, making him cry out in pleasure. The two went at this for a while, mainly because they had nothing else to do right now with people going into lunch at the hall. Toothless and Hiccup continued to make love, changing positions often to the ones that they enjoyed most. Hiccup found he loved being on his hands and knees, also on his back with his legs pushed up to his chest. Toothless was found of Hiccup being on him, riding his cock back and forth and also the one where Hiccup was on his hands and knees. They had switched once into laying on their sides with Toothless behind Hiccup and for a little while, holding his leg up. The final position now was them back to how they started and the time was nearing afternoon.
"I'm gonna cum…" Hiccup moaned.
"Me too," Toothless leaned forward to kiss his mate lovingly. Hiccup gripped his lover's arms as they reached climax together and basked in the orgasmic high.
Toothless obviously came inside Hiccup, and Hiccup spilled across his midsection. Now both were breathing heavily, enjoying the feeling and making out slowly. "I love you…" Hiccup breathed out.
"I love you too, babe," Toothless smiled.
They laid there kissing more until the high wore off, then Toothless pulled out to locate a towel to let Hiccup clean off first, then himself. The two crawled into bed together, snuggling up.
/Lemon End/
Hiccup was beginning to drift off to sleep as Toothless shook him slightly. "No sleeping, you need to eat lunch…"
"Tired…" Hiccup mumbled. "I'll eat at dinner."
"Hiccup, you missed breakfast too…You need to eat something, please? Baby relies on you for food right now." Toothless informed.
"I know, but I'm just not hungry right now…" Hiccup told him.
Toothless sighed a bit. It happened often that even if Hiccup wasn't eating due nausea, he might also not be hungry when he wasn't nauseous. "Please? Even if it's just some bread and fruit?"
"Okay…But only a little. My stomach is being good, I don't want to upset it by eating too much before taking a nap." Hiccup agreed.
"That's fine, love. I'll go get you something to snack on, okay?" Toothless said as Hiccup nodded and after a few more moments of cuddling, Toothless got up to get his pants on and then scavenge the main area for some light food for Hiccup to eat.
. . .
A couple weeks had gone by as Hiccup was two and a half months pregnant. It was July 20th, and Hiccup was actually almost three months into the pregnancy. Embla marked it to be on the 30th. Today had been one where Hiccup wasn't up to moving much, he was tired and nausea had gotten the better of him more than a few times and that was even with the medicine being taken on time. Hiccup definitely looked pregnant now, having a hard time moving around with the extra weight of his larger stomach. Hiccup also began having sore nipples, somewhat odd cravings for food, also things he would refuse to go near. Using the bathroom a lot had become a thing. Hiccup struggled to deal with all the new emotions he felt. Currently, Hiccup was just waking up from a nap he started around 3:30 pm and as he'd been dealing with all day; he woke up with some nausea and was slow getting out of bed. Toothless didn't appear to be beside him, so Hiccup wandered out into the other room to find Toothless talking with his mom and dad.
"Hey, there you are…" Toothless went over to greet his mate. "How do you feel?"
"Awful…But I'm getting used to feeling that way when I wake up, or at random with the nausea," Hiccup shrugged.
"I'll make your medicine for you," Toothless offered. "Also, figured maybe we could have dinner here tonight with my parents?"
"I'm supposed to head dinner in the hall," Hiccup told him.
"Yeah, but you could always just start it and then come back here. Your dad and Gobber are welcome to come too. Like a family dinner?" Toothless hoped.
"I suppose that would be okay. Yeah, alright," Hiccup nodded. "What are we making?"
"I'll cook, you just relax…" Toothless chuckled. "And I'll go tell your father and Gobber, if you want them here?"
"I can go tell them, Toothless…Besides, the walk would keep me from falling back asleep." Hiccup smiled.
"Are you sure you'll be alright to go by yourself?" Toothless inquired.
"I'll be alright, babe. Don't worry so much," Hiccup reassured. "Oh and I see the fish over there…Don't make it. The smell is fresh or cooked fish hasn't agreed with me for the last couple of days…" He mentioned.
"Got it, but I was planning on making chicken soup with honey bread and some fruits." Toothless informed.
"Okay, that's fine…But still, get that fish out of here…" Hiccup mumbled, already feeling the nausea kick up.
"Head outside for some air, Hiccup. The fish will be gone by the time you get back," Draco promised.
Hiccup nodded and quickly left the house to go over to the hall to get dinner started for the tribe, then see if his dad and Gobber wanted to join him, Toothless, and his parents for dinner at the house. Hiccup took his time on the stairs, then made it inside slowly.
"Hi, son. Where's your…Uh, mate tonight?" Stoick asked.
"Dad…The mate terms are only used for dragons. Toothless and I are married for all intents and purposes. You can call him my husband," Hiccup smiled. "And he's home with his parents, I actually came to invite you and Gobber to dinner with us tonight."
"Well, that'd be very nice, Hiccup…" Stoick nodded.
"Why me? I'm not family," Gobber chuckled.
"You are basically my uncle, Gobber…Of course you're family. Now, come on…" Hiccup told them. "The rest of you, enjoy your meal and I'll see you tomorrow morning!" He called to the tribe.
"Have a good night, chief!" A few called as Hiccup was leaving with Gobber and Stoick to get back over to his house.
Getting home, Hiccup had to slow down before reaching the door because he felt movement that he hadn't before. While he knew Embla warned him he could feel it soon, nearly a month ago now; this felt different. Hiccup eventually stopped with a hand over his bump and take a few breaths.
"Are you alright, son?" Stoick asked quickly.
"Yeah, just need a minute…" Hiccup breathed out. "Go ahead, you go can go in…" He added.
"Are you sure?" Gobber questioned.
"Mmhm," Hiccup nodded. Stoick and Gobber went inside the house as Hiccup stayed outside and leaning against the wall while just giving himself a few moments.
"Where's Hiccup?" Toothless wondered as he was cutting up chicken.
"Said he needed a minute outside," Stoick replied.
"Is he alright?" Ryuka wondered.
"Seemed outta breath," Gobber shrugged. "But promised he was okay."
"And had a hand around his stomach," Stoick added.
"I'll go, son," Ryuka put her hand up to keep Toothless from immediately running out to check on Hiccup. Toothless nodded as Ryuka got up and went outside to find Hiccup leaning against the outside wall of the hut, both hands on his stomach. "Are you alright, dear?"
"I-I don't know. I felt something I hadn't before and it scared me that something might be wrong…" Hiccup admitted.
"What did you feel?" Ryuka asked.
"Movement, but…It wasn't how Embla described it would feel." Hiccup said, then held his stomach more as the feeling struck once more. "There it is again,"
"Painful?" Ryuka inquired.
"A little…" Hiccup looked at her, then winced as he felt it again and he was thankfully against the house for support. "O-Ow!" Hiccup hissed.
"Okay, let's get you inside and I can look over you. Come on," Ryuka helped to bring Hiccup into the house.
Seeing the sight of Ryuka helping Hiccup inside, Draco went over to help as Hiccup's knees buckled a little when another pain went through him. Toothless was obviously already worried.
"Are you alright, Hiccup?" Toothless asked. "What's wrong? Why does he look like he's in pain?"
"Son, settle down…" Draco told his eldest.
"I-Is it time? Is he having the baby?" Toothless questioned lightly while Draco and Ryuka worked to get Hiccup into his and Toothless's room, then Hiccup laying on the bed.
"I need you to back up, Toothless, and let me check over Hiccup to find out what's going on," Toothless stayed back with his father, while Stoick and Gobber pulled both of them back to leave Hiccup to be looked at by Ryuka alone. When it was just Hiccup and Ryuka, Hiccup felt more movement and Ryuka could steadily see him becoming more worried. "Can I feel, Hiccup?" Ryuka asked gently. Hiccup nodded and moved his hands for Ryuka to lightly pull up Hiccup's shirt and set her hands over Hiccup's belly and feel around with her eyes closed. It took a few moments, but Ryuka felt what Hiccup was talking about, since he reacted the same way and all she could do was smile at Hiccup.
"I-Is everything okay with my baby?" Hiccup asked, fearful.
"Yes, sweetheart. Everything is perfect…That feeling you're getting, its your baby kicking. It's completely normal," Ryuka promised. "It means the baby is getting bigger, more active…And it's a good sign. You're getting closer to giving birth,"
"H-How will we know when?" Hiccup questioned.
"The kicking will be a lot harder, faster…You'll cramp a lot, and probably feel like you have to push. You'll get stronger pain that lasts a few moments and then fade. When those pains get closer together, seemingly endless…It'll be time. This is a good thing, Hiccup. I will report this to Embla when she comes in ten days." Ryuka reassured. "I'm assuming that's how it'll go…Based of prior work with pregnant male dragons. But Hiccup…You cannot push, even if you feel like you have to. Don't. Your body won't let you give birth that way, and it could be dangerous and life threatening even. So if you feel any of the things I mentioned just now…I need you to tell me right away."
Hiccup nodded to her, understanding fully. The time of the birth is almost near, and soon; Hiccup and Toothless would have their baby. "I promise to tell you, Ryuka. And thank you for being here all this time, treating me like family as if I were one of your own kids. It means a lot considering my mom is gone and not with me for all this,"
"Oh, Hiccup…" Ryuka set her hand on his cheek. "You are mated to my son, and that makes you my son-in-law…So you are absolutely part of this family. Never think otherwise, and I'm happy to be a mom to you as I am to all of my kids, which you now are through marriage."
"Thank you," Hiccup sniffled a bit, willing himself not to cry. Damn emotions getting the better of him.
"You're very welcome," Ryuka smiled. "Now, let's get out there. Let everyone know the good news that the child will be coming soon,"
Hiccup smiled back, nodding, and Ryuka helped him up so that they could return to the others in the main room, then give the good news and continue the happy evening as a family.
