Stoick laid Hiccup down in his crib to sleep after getting his cut on his chin taken care of. Gobber walked over to him and ask "are you going to be okay with him?"

Stoick sighs "I'll be fine for now."

He lays Hiccup down in his crib to sleep for the night. Spitelout stop by to give him the review of what the village lost. All he thought of was losing Valka and figure out how to raise Hiccup alone.

Next morning, Ingrid knocks on the chief's door.

Stoick grumbles getting up and going to see who's knocking on his door.

He opens the door to see Ingrid carrying Astrid and smiles "hi chief, uh do you need help with Hiccup?"

Stoick smiles "sure, I could use some help with him."

Ingrid sets Astrid down in a high chair and says "I'll be back in a few minutes, Astrid."

Astrid smiles at her mom.

Ingrid walks upstairs to Hiccup's loft to get Hiccup ready for the day. She shakes her head thinking about losing Valka in a dragon raid last night. She made a promise to Valka to protect Hiccup from the village and look out for him and never turn her back on him even though their tradition says to treat a hiccup like an outcast but that would only cause them to leave everyone behind believing that no one loves them.

Hiccup was sleeping in his crib holding his stuffed Deadly Nadder toy when Ingrid started 0rubbing his back to wake him up "time to wake up little Hiccup."

Hiccup stirs a little to yawn.

Ingrid smiles "Astrid's downstairs waiting to see you." Hiccup's eyes shoot open and Ast ere?"

Ingrid sighs "yes son" and lifts him up out of the crib and carries him downstairs to the livingroom to the kitchen to see Astrid and reaches out to give her a hug good morning. Stoick left to go take care of the village. Ingrid made two bowls of oatmeal for Hiccup and Astrid.

After having breakfast Ingrid watched Hiccup and Astrid play with their stuff toy.

Lunch time came and Gobber stop by to check on Hiccup. He asked her "do you care about Hiccup?"

Ingrid smiles "I care about him like he is my own son and I made a promise to his mother that I wouldn't turn my back on him like this village may!"

Gobber sighs "neither will."

Gobber left after seeing Hiccup cared for by Ingrid and wonders what other things Valka and Ingrid did without Stoick knowing.

Evening came and Stoick arrived home and goan from the stress of running the village. Ingrid smiles "good evening chief, how was the village?"

Stoick sighs "very tiring."

Ingrid smiles "don't worry, about Hiccup, I'm sure I can help look after him if your too busy with him, but if I could make a suggestion?"

Stoick nods his head for her to continue.

Ingrid smiles "maybe take every other day to spend a day being with Hiccup."

Hiccup smiles "bye, Ing! Bye,Ast!"

Stoick gaped "he started talking?!"

Ingrid sighs "he try saying Astrid, but all he says is Ast."

Hiccup looks at his dad and says "hi, da da."

Stoick smiles "hi son."

Ingrid left taking Astrid with her back home.

Stoick decided to read Hiccup a book call Medieval Times of Knights and Dragons.

Every time a good part in the story happened, Hiccup would say "wow."

After reading Hiccup a few chapters of the book, Stoick made Hiccup oatmeal for dinner.

After having dinner and put Hiccup to bed, Stoick would grab the picture off his dresser of him, Valka and baby Hiccup and whisper "Valka" while crying softly.

Ingrid made Astrid dinner.

Alistair curious ask "how was babysitting Hiccup?"

Ingrid smiles "it was good, he's no trouble at all. He is infatuated with our daughter which I find very adorable."

Alistair sighs "only time will tell what kind of guy, Hiccup will grow up to be."

Ingrid sighs "he seems too nice to hurt someone."

Alistair sighs "I wonder how he's dealing with the lost of his mom?"

Ingrid sighs "I don't know but I wonder if he cries for her in his sleep."

Next morning, Stoick decided to spend the day showing Hiccup around the village.

Every building Stoick showed Hiccup, he looked amazed at the buildings and the shops, how things get made. The village defense weapons. When they visited the blacksmith forge, Hiccup seemed more interested in how weapons were made.

Gobber told him "it's my job to make sure that the villagers didn't die from unreliable weapons against dragons and enemies that want to take Berk for themselves."

Stoick took Hiccup back home to have lunch. Hiccup thinks about his mom wondering where she's at and why she isn't with him now. He dreams about creatures that like the one that night but couldn't put a name to the creature.

While he looks at his stuff Deadly Nadder toy, his dad looks at the photo of Valka with a tear running down his cheek. "Oh Valka, why did you have to die on me for?"

Hiccup being a baby still, doesn't know what happened to her.

(At Hofferson's house)

Alistair ask his wife "how is Stoick coping with the lost of his wife?"

Ingrid sighs "he misses her and I miss her too."

Alistair sighs "I hope he can handle being a single father okay, but if not at least Hiccup has us to help look after him."

Ingrid smiles "before Valka was taken, me and her made a marriage contract between Hiccup and Astrid because they formed a bond when they met somehow."

Alistair curious ask "when does the contract state that they can get married?"

Ingrid smiles "anytime after they turn fifteen."

Alistair smiles "Hiccup might make a great husband to our daughter."

Ingrid smiles "he's such a sweet boy."

(With Stoick and Hiccup)

Next morning Stoick got up and woke Hiccup up for breakfast. Hiccup whimper being woke up from his sleep. Stoick smile at Hiccup being adorable. He picked him up and changed his diaper, then made him oatmeal for breakfast.

After breakfast, Stoick took Hiccup to Ingrid Hofferson to babysit him while Stoick ran the village.

Ingrid smiles "Stoick, here to drop Hiccup off so you can chief the village?"

Stoick nods his head yes.

Ingrid smirks "well I think Astrid will be very excited to see Hiccup."

Stoick hands Hiccup over to Ingrid to babysit while he chiefs the village.

Alistair leaves to join Mulch and Bucket on fishing.

Ingrid sat on the couch while watching Hiccup and Astrid play with each other. Hiccup stack Astrid's building blocks to spell out ASTRIDS TOWER. Ingrid gaped at Hiccup spelling out Astrid's name with building blocks. Astrid would knock the tower over to show she can overcome challenges. Hiccup would clap his hands to cheer for Astrid.

Ingrid curious wonder how Hiccup spelled out Astrid's name.

As Hiccup and Astrid play pin by seeing who can hold the other down which ended with Astrid pinning Hiccup's arms to his sides while Hiccup trys to free himself from Astrid's hold, then thinks of an idea and wraps his arms around her waist and rolls them over catching Astrid off guard and pinning her arms above her head. Astrid struggles to break free from Hiccup's hold before she sighs and relaxes.

Hiccup rolls off of her giggling.

Ingrid smiles "they are going to make a great couple when they start dating." She sighs and walks over to the kitchen and begins making two bowls of oatmeal for Hiccup and Astrid for lunch. When lunch was made she walks into the livingroom where Astrid was holding Hiccup down with his arms pinned above his head giggling at him.

Since Hiccup can't break his own hold so he nuzzles Astrid's neck causing her to loose her grip slightly for Hiccup to roll them over and wrap his arms around her in a hug and lay his head in her neck.

Ingrid smirks "Hiccup seems very smart on figuring out how to counter Astrid's pin." She smiles "lunch time you two."

Hiccup rolls off of Astrid.

Ingrid picks up Hiccup in right arm and Astrid in her left arm and carries both to the kitchen setting Astrid down in her highchair and then Hiccup in another highchair. Ingrid feeds them both lunch. After lunch, Ingrid sets Hiccup and Astrid down in the livingroom to play while she cleans the kitchen.

She washes the dishes, then sweep and mop the floor. After cleaning the kitchen, she notices that she doesn't hear Hiccup or Astrid playing and walks into the livingroom to see the most adorable thing, Hiccup sleeping next to Astrid in each other's arms. So she lets them sleep like that and goes upstairs to clean her bedroom.

Afterwards, she walks downstairs and sits on the couch and folds clothes.

An hour later, Alistair arrives home with a basket full of fish.

Ingrid smiles at him and whispers "hi babe."

Alistair smiles "why are you whispering?"

Ingrid points to where Hiccup and Astrid are sleeping to gape at their new position. Alistair looks at them and gasped at Astrid laying on Hiccup's chest with her arms around his sides and Hiccup's arms around her waist. He looks at his wife and says "this might grow to be a problem when they get older."

Ingrid smirks "if Hiccup follows after his mother, then we won't have a problem with Hiccup."

Alistair smiles "I think it's better to wait until he grows up to see what type boy he becomes."

Both watch Hiccup and Astrid sleep together. Dinner time came, Stoick knocked on the Hofferson's door for Alistair to open the door and says "I'm here to pick up Hiccup."

Alistair smiles "come in."

Stoick entered the Hofferson's home to see Astrid nuzzles into Hiccup's neck while sleeping.

Ingrid lifts Astrid off of Hiccup, who started whining before Ingrid started whispering softly to calm Astrid down.

Stoick took Hiccup home to make dinner and feed him. Stoick sighs coping with the lost of his wife.

(Two years later)

Hiccup and the gang are three years old. Hiccup and Astrid's bond as friends got stronger.

It was night time and Stoick was sitting by the fireplace poking the fire when Hiccup climbs down the steps to see him. Stoick looks at Hiccup and ask "your thinking about her aren't you?"

Hiccup pouts "I miss her sometimes."

Stoick sighs "I miss her too."

Hiccup ask "what was she like?"

Stoick smiles "your mom was beautiful. We were bestfriends but I was too shy to ask her out."

Hiccup ask "how did you two get together?"

Stoick smiles "it was Snoggtog and I was watching everyone dancing to the music. Your mother was talking to Ingrid Hofferson. Ingrid notice I was staring at your mom and told your mom about me. Next thing I know she came over to me and ask me to dance with her. After that, we started hanging out together. Sometimes she would sneak out and drag me out to watch the stars."

Hiccup smiles "wow! Did you two get in trouble for sneaking out?"

Stoick smiles "your mom's dad found out and ask if I been kissing her or doing other things with her and I told him I was too shy to do anything with her."

Hiccup sighs "what did he do?"

Stoick smiles "your mom told him that I was too shy because I never initiate any affection to her over three weeks after Snoggtog because if she gave me a hug, I would stiff up or nervously hug back."

Hiccup smiles "what did she like to do?"

Stoick smiles "she liked to help out the villagers and grow curious about why dragons attack and she always try finding a way to Peace with the dragons."

Both went to bed after Stoick spent time telling Hiccup about his mom, Valka Haddock. Morning, Stoick took Hiccup over to cliff and told him out at edge of the ocean falls off a waterfall is a hidden world filled with tons of dragons."
