Hiccup could barely move, he stood there frozen in shock and disbelief. This woman was his mother, it wasn't possible. His mother was dead, she was taken by a dragon when he was a baby. How could this woman be his mom. He sat there trying to process is all, trying to make any sense of it. "You're a spy from Berk...My mother is dead." Hiccup stated after pulling himself together.

"No! Odin no...I'm not lying to you son..." Cloud said quickly.

"Don't call me that." Hiccup snapped at her. Cami got up now and stood beside him, pulling him to away slightly. "How dare she...call herself my mother..." Hiccup scoffed.

"Hiccup...Wait a second...she might be telling the truth. Stoick said your mom was taken by a dragon right?" Cami said softly stroking his hand.

"Yes..." Hiccup began.

"You said her body was never found...Make her tell you her story, the whole thing. You know the story of how she was taken...If it matches up...then maybe she is your mom. Just...ask her things only your mom would know. About Berk, you, your...former dad..." Cami insisted. Hiccup sighed and nodded as they walked back over to the table.

"Prove it." Hiccup ordered firmly.

"Prove what, that I'm your mother? How?" Cloud asked.

"By answering questions only she would know. First...who was your husband, my former father." Hiccup asked.

"Stoick the Vast Haddock. Chief of the Hooligan tribe to Berk." She answered.

"What's my full name?" Hiccup stated.

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third." Cloud replied.

"What's my mother's name." Hiccup held a firm look in his eyes.

"Valka the Gentle Haddock." Cloud replied calmly. She didn't blame him for being unsure so she'd do as he asked. "And for added measure...you got that scar on your chin from the Cloud Jumper, the night I was taken. He cut you by accident. That's how I knew who you were...A mother never forgets her child." Cloud said.

"Who is my uncle, and cousin on Berk?" Hiccup asked, that chin remark shocked him a bit. He had always wondered where it came from.

"Spitelout and Snotlout Jorgenson." Cloud sighed.

"So you are Valka Haddock, the woman who believed peace was possible on Berk but no one listened?" Hiccup asked her. She nodded to him. "Tell me then. Everything from my birth to you being taken. I know the story I was told, if yours matches. I will believe you." Hiccup stated.

"You were born early, I feared you wouldn't make it but your father never doubted. He always said you'd become the strongest of them all...and he was right judging by what you've done here in a years time...You were a wee thing too but always so happy. Berk however was a land of kill or be killed, but I believed peace was possible. It was an unpopular opinion too. But one night...when you were about 7 months old...a dragon, Cloud Jumper in fact broke in to the house and found you in the cradle. I rushed to protect you but what I saw...was proof of everything I believed. Cloud Jumper was playing with you, letting you hold his claw but his weight on the cradle made it rock and he left you that scar on your chin..." Valka began softly. Hiccup only listened.

"This wasn't a vicious beast, but an intelligent, gentle creature whose soul reflected my own...It didn't last, your father came and frightened the dragon who lit the house on fire. I begged him to stop and he did, your father grabbed you and went to get me but Cloud Jumper already took off, holding me in his claws..." Valka looked down sadly, "You and your father nearly died that night, all because I couldn't kill a dragon...It broke my heart to stay away but I believed you'd be safer if I did..." Valka sighed closing her eyes.

"It runs in the family..." Hiccup finally said after taking it all in. This woman was his mother, she was alive all this time afraid to come back because of her love of dragons wouldn't be accepted by Stoick. Hiccup couldn't be mad about that. Valka's eyes widened a bit. "Looks like I turned out like my mother after all." Hiccup smiled at her as he moved in front of her gently, he hugged her.

"Oh Hiccup...I'm so sorry for staying away so long...You took after me all this time...and where was I..." Valka whispered out as Hiccup pulled from the hug. "Can...can we start over...? Will you...give me another chance?" Hiccup nodded to her.

"As chief of this island...Mom, I welcome you to the Dreki tribe of Dragons Edge." Hiccup smiled wide.

"And I am aware of Alvin, your father's enemy...Who is this lovely young lady?" Valka asked looking at Camicazi.

"This is Camicazi, my girlfriend. Cami, this is my mother, Valka." Hiccup introduced.

"An honor to meet the woman who gave birth to such a smart, handsome man." Cami greeted shaking Valka's hand.

"And a pleasure to meet the one who makes my son so happy. There is so much I have to know, Hiccup...I want to know everything I've missed but first...I must ask...would you mind if I brought my dragons here...?" Valka asked.

"How many do you have?" Hiccup asked her.

"Hundreds, perhaps two or three. I honestly lost track..." Valka chuckled lightly.

"Yeah that's fine. Want me to come with you?" Hiccup said.

"Heavens no son. It's a 6 day trip to my nest...I'll send Cloud Jumper to tell them to come here." Valka said as she stepped towards the door and whistled for her dragon, it landed before her. "Go home, bring them here boy. Don't worry I'm fine here with my son." Valka said rubbing the storm cutter's head lightly. It gave a roar and took off in to the night sky. Valka faced Hiccup, Alvin, and Cami now.

"I will tell you everything you've missed tomorrow mom. For now...it's been a long night. You're free to stay with me. I have extra rooms." Hiccup told her. Valka nodded as Hiccup kissed Cami gently. "See you for breakfast, Cami. I love you." Hiccup said gently, Cami nodded saying it back then rushing off to her house on Sunflower. Alvin dismissed himself as Hiccup led his mother to his house and got her settled in one of the extra rooms.

"Sleep well son." Valka called to him as he was leaving the spare bedroom.

"Night mom. You too, I'm really glad you're here." Hiccup told her calmly.

"And here I will stay." Valka said. Hiccup smiled and left the room going to his own. Hiccup was happy, he couldn't believe it still. This woman was alive and unlike the rest of Berk, she was like him. She liked dragons, respected them. It was so unreal to him. It was like he said, it only got better from here. Seems like leaving Berk was all he really needed to do, which he would have quietly if Astrid hadn't ratted him out. Oh well it was in the past now. Hiccup fell asleep not long after, tomorrow started his first time being chief of Dragons Edge. He couldn't of been more excited.

(6 Months Later)

Since that day, nothing had gone wrong. His mother's dragons returned with Cloud Jumper and to Hiccup's surprise, so did the alpha Bewilderbeast which she conveniently forgot to mention to him. Hiccup didn't mind since it mostly resides in the water being tidal class and didn't bother anyone. Valka explained that every nest had its queen but this graceful giant was the alpha species, the king of all dragons and one of the very few that still existed. As promised, Hiccup told his mother everything that happened since she was taken.

He told her how Stoick had no time for him, constantly scolded him and only cared about the village. Hiccup told her how he was constantly picked on and hated for being scrawny, and apparently a disaster child. Hiccup explained that he was under Gobber's care from the time he was 6 to when he left at 15. Hiccup made sure to tell her how he met Toothless, how Astrid ratted him out, how the cast out happened. He didn't leave anything out, not even that he wanted to kill himself.

Everything Valka heard made her want to return to Berk to scold Stoick but Hiccup told her not to waste her time with it, that he moved on and no longer cared because his home was here now. Hiccup informed her of everything he'd done some coming to outcast island now known as Dragons Edge. All the inventions he'd made, the buildings, and how things worked. Hiccup showed her around while explaining how he came to be chief at such a young age, though she didn't mind. 16 or not he ran his village well. The people loved him.

The bewilderbeast was using his ice spitting ability to build a nest just behind Dragons Edge for all the dragons to stay since the village alone just wasn't big enough. His mother was given the option to have her own place but she insisted on living with Hiccup since she'd already missed out on the first 15 years of his life, she like everyone else followed Hiccup's command. Valka personally thanked Alvin for taking care of Hiccup and letting him stay on the island when he came to them after being cast out.

Camicazi and Hiccup were getting pretty serious too. They'd made love a few times after the first few months of being together, Hiccup would always go over her house so no one would know. It was his island, the rules weren't the same as with other Vikings. Hiccup had no limit on when a couple could have sex or get married as long as they were over 16 and understood their responsibilities if anything happened. Hiccup was a firm but fair leader, he rarely got upset unless someone didn't do their job. Hiccup had people in groups of 5 to 15, placed by their skills.

Some were fishers, farmers, or builders. Hiccup had trained a few people under him in the forge, he was also head of the academy teaching about dragons. Hiccup's armor had a new piece to it, a face mask. He got the idea from his mother, something to conceal his face with if they were out traveling and he was spotted. It was metal, made of gronckle iron with two holes for eyes, there were spikes on top and to the left and right. The bottom made from leather. Behind it his voice was deeper, and only showed his green orbs. First time he wore it, Cami didn't even recognize him until she saw the night fury symbol on his right shoulder pad.

Hiccup was an amazing chief, and everyone knew it on the island but the wavering question they kept to themselves was when Hiccup was going to make Cami his wife, they all knew how in love he was with her. Luckily for them, Hiccup heard everything in his village and wasn't slow on taking hints about what everyone thought he should do. Which is why he planned to propose to her soon. He was waiting for her birthday, Hiccup was already 17 but Cami was only 16 at least until tomorrow she was. Hiccup had been working on the ring for her all day, having his mother keep Cami distracted while he was working in the forge.

It was a silver ring with engravings on it, just a little pattern Hiccup created on the outside of the band. The inside had the initials HH and CS. Their initials to stand for Hiccup Holgerson and Camicazi Solberg. At the top were 3 purple stones, Cami's favorite color. One larger in the middle. Hiccup couldn't wait to give it to her and he had the perfect way to do it too. At dinner with everyone watching, that was sure to make Cami and everyone else happy. Hiccup wasn't at all nervous. He knew Cami loved him as much as he loved her. Tomorrow would be perfect. Everything was ready.

(Next Night-Dinner Time-Great Hall)

Hiccup waited outside the hall for his mother to arrive with Cami, they'd be coming together. Hiccup saw them making their way to the stairs, when Cami saw him she ran to him happily hugging him tightly. "Hey babe. Missed me?" Hiccup asked with a smile.

"Always. Where have you been all day?" Cami asked.

"Here and there. Ready to go inside?" Hiccup asked her.

"In a minute...I wanted to talk to you first..." Cami smiled gently blushing a little.

"I wanted to talk to you too, well...ask you something." Hiccup replied. They both laughed a little. "You first." Hiccup told her.

"Okay...um...well...I wanted to ask you...how you feel about kids?..." Cami said nervously twiddling her fingers.

"You know I love them, we have tons here. Why?" Hiccup responded curiously.

"I–I meant...us having kids?" Camicazi rephrased her original question. His eyes widened a bit, she wanted kids already?

"Uh well...I figured we could have them...ya know...later in life...?" Hiccup answered softly.

"Oh." Cami sighed, Hiccup knew that face he lifted her chin lightly so she was looking at him now.

"Alright Cami...I know that face. What's going on?" Hiccup asked her.

"Hiccup...I...its hard...to say...I wanted...to know how you felt about it because...I–I'm with child." Cami finally said. Hiccup's mouth dropped open with wide eyes. Cami was...pregnant? How? Well he knew how, they'd made love before but when did this happen? How far along was she? Hiccup had not been prepared for such news. He wasn't mad, just shocked. "I–I found out a few days ago...I–I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away...I was nervous...and scared you might be mad..." Cami admitted lowering her head.

"Ma–mad?! How could I be mad about something like this...I'm...shocked is all...Ho–how far along are you?" Hiccup asked her finding his words now.

"The healer says because I'm not really showing yet she guesses maybe a 4-6 weeks." Cami replied softly, Hiccup could see tears in her eyes. Was she upset about carrying a child, their child? Did she not want it? "I was asking you how you felt about it because we never really talked about it before, though I guess...maybe we should of after we made love the first time...I–if you don't want it...I'll...get rid of it...I know how much stress you have already being chief...I don't want to get in the way of that." Cami closed her eyes.

"What! Cami no! I will never be that busy babe. Gods no...Cami, this is...unexpected but no I don't want you to get rid of it. That's our baby. Yes I want it! I'm happy about this, so happy about this!" Hiccup said with a wide a smile, he was going to be a father! Who wouldn't be happy about that news? Hiccup saw her face turn to a smile as he pulled her close and kissed her deeply. She returned it fully. Hiccup couldn't believe it, she was pregnant with their child.

"S–so you're okay with this...even though we aren't...married yet?" Cami asked him lightly.

"Of course I am! But Cami...what I wanted to ask you...was if you'd marry me?" Hiccup said softly. Her turn for eyes to widen now.

"Wh–what?" Cami breathed out.

"I worked on it all day yesterday...That's why I had my mom keep you busy...I want to us to get married. I was going to ask you inside in front of everyone but...I just...can't wait anymore. Camicazi Solberg. You are the smartest, funniest, strongest girl I've ever met, and by Odin if you aren't the most beautiful too and this...This right here is only further proof of the love we share..." Hiccup said softly with a hand on her stomach. Hiccup watched her eyes fill with tears as he dropped to his one knee holding her hand in his. "I have loved you since we met, and I promise to love you forever. Will you do me the greatest honor, and make me the happiest man alive...Will you marry me, Camicazi?" Hiccup asked pulling the ring out of his pocket and presented it to her.

"Hiccup...Oh my...Its beautiful...You made this yourself?" Cami asked, Hiccup nodded. Cami let the tears fall freely now. "Oh Hiccup...yes. Yes I'll marry you!" Camicazi replied throwing her arms around him happily. Hiccup slid the ring on her finger and kissed her again. They pulled apart for air. "Should we tell everyone now?" Cami asked him.

"Only if you want too." Hiccup smiled.

"Lets do it!" Cami said excitedly as she took his hand and walked in to the hall after she composed herself and wiped her eyes dry. Hiccup kept his arm around her waist as Toothless spotted him and rushed up, he licked Hiccup's cheek lightly then Cami's as they both laughed. Toothless sniffed at her belly and gave a wide gummy smile.

"Ssh bud...Yes she is. We're going to tell everyone in a moment. Go lay down." Hiccup told him, Toothless obeyed and went to lay down in his spot as Hiccup and Camicazi made their way to the front of the room. He linked his arm to Cami's as he faced everyone with a wide smile. "Excuse me...Can I get everyone's attention please?" Hiccup called out to his people, the room came to a whisper then finally silence as they faced their chief smiling. "I have two announcements to make this evening and I sure hope they make you as happy as they've made me..." Hiccup smiled.

"Well don't keep us waitin boy! Out with it..." Alvin laughed, the room joined in as Hiccup used his hands to settle them down.

"Calm down father...First announcement...A chief is only as good as the people who stand with him. I wouldn't be up here today as your chief if it weren't for my father, Alvin who allowed me to stay here when I was cast out from the isle of Berk. And for the life of me, I still can't figure out how this group of outcasts was ever hated by so many. They are wonderful. But a select few...have been there from the start. You know one, I just mentioned him. Alvin. Who not only took me in but has been like a father to me and I will forever be grateful. Second is Toothless because without him...we wouldn't have all this now. It was him who showed me the truth...and lastly...Camicazi. She was one of the first people I brought here to start a new life, one that involved peace with dragons. She's been at my side since the start and I'm pleased and proud to announce that she will be standing with me forever, as not only my second in command but also my wife." Hiccup said with a smile.

The room burst in to cheering and clapping at the announcement. Hiccup and Cami laughed sharing a kiss. "Is it true!" Someone yelled out.

"Are you two engaged?" Another called.

"Yes. I asked her just moments ago and she said yes. We plan to marry as soon as we can." Hiccup smiled happily.

"Should we tell them the other good news?" Cami asked his.

"If you'd want to love." Hiccup replied.

"You say it." Cami blushed. Hiccup nodded facing his people again and raising his hands.

"Alright...Alright everyone...Settle down. I have one more announcement regarding the village..." Hiccup said trying to sound as serious as possible. The room calmed slowly all happy for the announcement their chief had finally asked Cami to marry him. "My last announcement is also big...because no only will you all be getting the beautiful, smart, and strong Camicazi Solberg, soon to be Holgerson as your chieftess...you'll also be gaining Dragons Edge's first heir." Hiccup said happily, the room was silent now.

"Well of course, the chief always gives an heir." Valka stated.

"No...Mom...I mean...Cami is already pregnant with our first child. We just found out before coming here. Well...she told me outside. Dragons Edge will have its first heir in 8 months time." Hiccup told her.

"So she's...already...WOOHOO!" Someone cheered out, and more applause and congratulations to them. It was a happy day, well night. Everyone was so thrilled with the news that Hiccup was taking Cami as his wife and they were expecting their first child. Nothing could make Hiccup happier. He had a place where he could be himself, no. He made a place for himself. He got the girl he loved, his mother, a father, his best friend, and now a child. His life was perfect.
