Hiccup laid in his bed thinking about Stoick since it's been seven months since he eavesdropped on his dad's conversation with the council members about him and stopped talking to him and seeing him because he felt like he didn't matter anymore.

Everytime Gobber mentioned his dad he would tell them: I don't care about him and walk away from the scene.

Gobber sat down and talked to Ingrid, "Ingrid, we have a problem. Hiccup stopped talking about his father and everytime I mention Stoick, he says he doesn't care about him anymore."

Ingrid smiles at him "he must have heard something that made him close his father off."

Gobber sighs "it must have been bad enough to make him turn away from him for seven months."

Ingrid smirks "and I know three people who he will open up about it and all three are Hoffersons."

Gobber sighs "you think he'll open up to you?"

Ingrid smiles "well there's me, Astrid and my husband."

Gobber smiles "he's your son."

Hiccup sighs "that's what Spitelout smirked about at my house to my dad."

Ingrid's eyes widened and realized what happened that caused Hiccup shut Stoick out of his life and ask "Hiccup, did Stoick have a meeting at your house and talk about you in a mean way?"

Hiccup closes his eyes and nods his head.

Gobber sighs "who else was there, Hiccup?"

Hiccup sighs "Mr. Thorston and a council member. The council member talked about having me thrown in a cell for withholding information about the nest location and Mr. Thorston talked about the promise you made with my mom to take care of me if Stoick couldn't and she said I wasn't worth the trouble to care for, that she wouldn't even made a promise with my mom."

Ingrid sighs and bends down to hug Hiccup "your not trouble at all for me to care for. Mr. Thorston never liked you since you were born because you were smaller than the otzee aacrher kids. The council members will have to remember that the reason why your not telling them where the nest is, is because your protecting us from a giant dragon that we only have your word to go on."

Hiccup cries softly "when Spitelout said you treat me more like your son and Stoick said he didn't know what to do with me. Spitelout said that everyone wants me ship off the island because of me being a bad omen."

Ingrid sighs and smiles at him "Hiccup, when me and your mom made that promise was because you and Astrid chose each other as soulmates."

Hiccup whispers "me and Astrid are soulmates?"

Ingrid nods her head "if you leave her for a while, she would become sad even though she won't admit it, I believe she feels like a part of her is gone with you."

Hiccup whimpers "I think I feel it when she is sad but I'm not sure if it is true."

Ingrid smiles "if she screamed your name, if you were to leave and never return, you would feel pain in your chest proving that your both soulmates."

Gobber sighs "Hiccup, how about I give you the day off because your not your best today?"

Hiccup nods his head "thank you Gobber for giving me the day off."

Ingrid takes Hiccup home to her house to play a game of checkers with him.

When Astrid came home from training in her training spot with her wooden sword to see Hiccup playing checkers with her mom, she ask "how come he wasn't at the Forge working?"

Ingrid sighs "he had a breakdown over a meeting he eavesdropped on at his house seven months ago."

Astrid curious ask "what meeting?"

Ingrid sighs "it was a meeting of Stoick, Spitelout, Mr. Thorston and a council member and they were talking about us and Hiccup in a bad way. And I want you to be careful around those Jorgensons, they are not to be trusted."

Hiccup sighs "I may be a Haddock by blood, but I feel like a Hofferson more."

For the rest of the day Astrid and Ingrid played checkers with Hiccup until Alistair came home from fishing to see them.

Alistair and Ingrid went to the kitchen to make dinner together.

Ingrid tells her husband everything about the meeting that Hiccup heard seven months ago and why he distance himself from Stoick and everyone.

Alistair gaped at the news and says "that's why Stoick was less talking about Hiccup these last seven months?"

Ingrid nods her head "it explains why everytime Stoick was mentioned, he would turn and leave or say he doesn't care about Stoick."

Alistair sighs "Stoick came to me today and ask if I seen Hiccup today because he hasn't seen him in seven months and if he saw Hiccup, Hiccup would runaway from him scared."

Ingrid smirks "oh I wonder why he runs away scared."

Alistair sighs "how did you get him to open up?"

Ingrid sighs "Gobber made a comment about Hiccup being my son after I smirked that me and you or Astrid could get him to talk about what was troubling him and he said that was what Spitelout said and that's when I realized that it was about Hiccup and he talked about that meeting."

Alistair sighs "I can't believe that Stoick would let those people talk about Hiccup like that."

Ingrid sighs "it's know wonder he kept avoiding Stoick for seven months."

When dinner was ready, Ingrid walked into the livingroom to see Astrid and Hiccup sitting on the couch in each other's arms with Hiccup resting his head on Astrid's head and her head resting on his shoulder sleeping and smirks at them "you two are so adorable together."

Alistair walks into the livingroom to see Hiccup and Astrid sleeping on the couch and smiles at them before softly waking them both up for dinner.

Hiccup softly opens his eyes to see Alistair nudging his shoulder and yawns sleepy "what time is it?"

Astrid whispers "who cares what time it is. Let's just sleep more."

Ingrid giggles "you two make a good couple and dinner is ready."

Hiccup sighs "let's go eat dinner then."

Astrid sighs "no, sleep more!"

Hiccup smiles rubbing her back "if we sleep any longer, then our stomachs will start growling."

On cue Astrid's stomach growls and Hiccup smirks playful "seems like someone is hungry?"

Astrid blushes "shut up before I hit your shoulder."

Hiccup grabs her hands and smirks "how can you hit me with your hands held?"

Astrid smiles seductively at him and leans in to kiss his lips. As she kisses his lips, his hands loosen around her hands and next, he feels a punch to his left shoulder.

Hiccup whines "ow! If you keep hitting my shoulder, I'm going to have to wear my armor suit for protection."

Astrid hits his left shoulder again "one more negative comment about me hitting you because of you choosing bad choices and I'll stop kissing you everytime you act sweet to me."

Hiccup sighs and gets up and follows Alistair, Ingrid and Astrid to the kitchen to have dinner. After having dinner, Hiccup decides to take a walk to the arena, "it's been six months and three weeks since me and the Hoffersons took you back to the Hidden World of the dragons, Azula and came back here to Berk and I miss you so much."

Thinking about Azula so much, he didn't notice Snotlout tripping him, "hey cousin, time for your missed beating now!"

Hiccup yells "get off m-!"

Snotlout punches him in the mouth to shut him up. He punches him in the ribs.

Stoick was walking through the village checking everything to make sure everything was good when he sees Snotlout beating his son and sighs before continuing on his objective of checking everything out.

Snotlout and Hiccup notice Stoick walk past them, ignoring them and Snotlout smirks "even your dad doesn't mind that I hit you anytime I feel like it. He wouldn't care if I killed you in the woods and say you were attacked by a dragon!"

After hitting him a few more times, Snotlout leaves Hiccup laying on the ground in pain laughing heading home.

Hiccup laid on the ground for a half an hour before Ingrid came to check on him and found him unconscious on the ground.

When morning came, Hiccup moans in pain. Ingrid whispers to him "easy son, do you know what happened to you?"

Hiccup moans "Snotlout attacked me."

Ingrid sighs "I'll have Alistair take care of it."

Hiccup shakes his head "no, it's not just him, Stoick walked right passed us when Snotlout was hitting me and didn't even tell Snotlout to let me go."

Ingrid snides "oh he is definitely losing custody over you, son!"

Gothi comes in and writes in the sand which Gobber translates "how are you feeling, Hiccup?"

Hiccup whimpers "in pain that no one cares about me except you two and the Hoffersons."

Gothi writes in sand which Gobber translates "you suffered two cracked ribs, a bruise jaw and a bruise on your stomach. Do you know who did this to you?"

Hiccup sighs "Snotlout and Stoick watched it happen and did nothing."

Gothi and Gobber stared wide eyed in shock "Stoick watched Snotlout hit you and did nothing about it?!"

Hiccup whimpers "that's not even the best part, Snotlout even told me that no one would care that he took me in the woods and kill me and say that I was killed by a dragon!"

Gothi writes in the sand and Gobber translates "rest, Hiccup, Ingrid is staying here until Astrid comes to watch you."

Hiccup sighs and closes his eyes to rest.

Gothi and Gobber leave the room to Hiccup rest.

Gobber sighs "I didn't think Stoick would turn his back on his only son like this."

Gothi writes in the sand "Stoick is not in the right mind to have a heir to Berk anymore."

Gobber ask "what will happen to Hiccup now?"

Gothi writes in the sand "Stoick is to forfeit his rights to Hiccup because he can't protect him like a father should."

In the afternoon, Stoick walks into Gothi's Hut to see Hiccup sleeping soundly and sees the bruise on his check and jaw and stomach along with two cracked ribs "your nothing like me. Your more like your mother."

Ingrid walked in to see Stoick standing beside the bed and snides angrily "you have some nerve to come see Hiccup after witnessing Snotlout attack him last night and did nothing about it! As far as I'm concerned you no longer have any rights to call Hiccup your son anymore! Now get out!"

Stoick leaves the Hut and goes back to chief duties.

After another encounter with Snotlout's flirting, Astrid frustrated walks inside Gothi's Hut to change shifts with her mom in watching over Hiccup.

Ingrid sighs "more of Snotlout's flirting?"

Astrid sighs "he's pretty stupid to think I would like him because he thinks he can put his hands on anyone for fun."

Ingrid smiles "don't worry, daughter. We won't be signing any marriage contract with those Jorgensons. Besides your already engaged to Hiccup since you both were born."

Astrid blushes at being engaged to Hiccup.

Ingrid smiles "well I'm going to go see what Gobber and Gothi are doing."

After Ingrid left, Astrid looked at Hiccup laying on the bed and crawls on top of it to snuggle up to him.

A half an hour later, Hiccup slowly opens his eyes to feeling hungry and sees blonde hair on his chest and smiles seductively at seeing Astrid laying on him and wraps his arms around her back to hug her.

Astrid nuzzles his neck and sighing deeply.

Hiccup kisses the top of her head and rubs her back in affection.

She lifts her head to see Hiccup awake and smiles seductively at him before leaning in kissing his lips deeply.

After they break the kiss, Astrid smiles "I was so worried about you after I heard that Snotlout attacked you!"

Hiccup sighs "I know and I think I'll be living with you for a while since Stoick turn his back on me."
