A/N: Well. Ashton will find someone. I mean. We all know who it is. To be honest, he wasn't going to be her love interest at all but, he needs some love and I love him, so why not have Ashton love him, too? You'll find out at the end of this chapter or the next one who it is.

I don't think I've ever specified what color hair Ashton has before? I know in the first chapter Heather says "give you blonde hair", so it's being confirmed in this one what color hair she has.

Also, it has been decided that the next chapter will be the last because I can't remember where I originally wanted this story to go. There will be a sequel, it will be Hiccstrid Centris, but of course Ashton and everyone else in it, too!

Chapter Seven

Ashton was taken aback. Her sister was… No, Astrid couldn't be pregnant. Hiccup was so much more careful than that. Astrid was much more careful than that. When had they slipped up? What were they even going to do with a baby? Do either of them even have room for a baby? Ashton knows full well that Hiccup doesn't have room.

"Ash?"

Her sisters voice cut her off. Ashton shouldn't be the one panicking. If anyone was suppose to be panicking it would be Astrid. But her sister seemed so calm compared to her "I'm gonna be… You and Hiccup are gonna be.. Parents?"

"Well, yeah, that's kind of what being pregnant means."

Ashton let out a groan, throwing her head back "Oh Gods, stop. You sound like Hiccup."

Astrid laughed before letting out a sigh "I just.. How am I going to tell mom? She always said -"

"Don't ever tell me you're pregnant out of wedlock."

The sisters broke out into an impression of their mother before they both laughed "You know. She's told you a million times before, too. When she found out about Hiccup and that we – yeah, she has said it every time I've talked to her."

Ashton only shrugged, almost forgetting that Astrid wasn't there to see it. "What did Hiccup say when you told him?"

It wasn't any of her business. She knows, and Astrid knows that. But she has to know. Was he mad? Upset? Confused? Happy? He wears his heart on his sleeve, it would be so easy to tell.

"He wasn't happy at first. I told him when we were still at moms house. I had told him that before he decided that he wanted to get back together that there was something I needed to tell him, and he could freely leave if he wanted to. He asked why I wasn't more careful, and I shot the same thing back at him. If he didn't want this to happen he shouldn't have -"

"Astrid, don't even say." Ashton could have gagged at what her sister was going to say.

"Right. Sorry." Astrid laughed before continuing "Anyways, I think he was mad about it at first. That neither of us were careful enough, you know? But we talked about our future, about how we both want kids some day, we just weren't expecting to be parents so soon."

Ashton knows her sister wasn't trying to upset her. She knows that Astrid and Hiccup will be happy together in their future with their future son or daughter. She should be happy for them. She is happy for them, it's just clouded over by the news that her longtime crush is going to be a dad.

Ashton took a deep breath "So, parents. Wow. Who is going to be the godmother? Me?"

Astrid laughed again, opening a door before she started talking "Well, you've already got the role of aunt sealed, obviously. I thought Ruffnut could be the godmother. She has been my best friend for years. And Hiccup will be choosing who the godfather is."

There was a muffled voice on Astrid's side of the line before Ashton heard a snort from her sister "Hiccup said anyone but Eret."

"Seems fair.", Ashton agreed "You do know that one of us is bound to have twins, right? Both mom and dad have twins in their family."

Astrid sighed, "Yeah, I know. I'm worried about that. I don't want the twins."

"Twins?"

Ashton could have laughed at how panicked Hiccup had sounded. She listened as Astrid told him about the twins on both sides of their family and how one of them were bound to have twins themselves "I always thought it would be Ash." she had said, earning a scoff from her sister.

"Hey, not to interrupt your explaining going on, but where is the baby going to go? I've never been to your place, Astrid, but I know Hiccup's isn't big enough for all that."

Ashton heard Hiccup laugh "Oh, didn't Astrid tell you? We're just going to leave the baby with you."

"Nice one, Hiccup."

Astrid caught her breath before she started talking again "I don't know, Ash. We haven't thought that far ahead." Ashton heard Hiccup mumble something to her sister "Well, I've got to go. Hiccup has work in the morning and all this talking is keeping him awake. We'll see you tomorrow!"

Ashton set her phone down before staring up at her ceiling. Her sister and best friend are going to be parents. No matter how many times she thinks it, it's not going to stop sounding so weird in her head.

"I've been reading all these things about being pregnant."

Ashton raised an eyebrow at her sister "And?"

Astrid shrugged, staring down at her phone while she talked "I found out about a lot of things that could go wrong, some strange facts, a lot of things I never knew but will now know because I am pregnant." she frowned, looking back up at her sister "Did I mention things can go wrong?"

Ashton sighed, reaching over and snatching the phone from her sister "Nothing is going to go wrong, Astrid."

Astrid waved her off "I'm confident enough that I don't think anything will. But it's still a scary thought, you know? You wanna know something else I found out?"

Ashton nodded, hanging her back her phone "Tell me."

"Hiccup and I were talking the other day about whether or not we wanted a boy or girl, and I told him a boy, obviously. It would be nice to have a boy in our family. Hiccup agreed that he wants a boy, only because he doesn't want the struggle of raising a girl." Ashton snorted but nodded "So, when I was looking things up the other day I found out something about boys, and it's so weird and kind of freaky. Did you know that when in the womb, boys can still get an erection? Like honestly, that's so freaky."

Ashton grimaced, waving her hands around and made a false gagging noise "Oh gods, Astrid. That's honestly the creepiest thing!" Ashton glared at her sister before leaning down towards her sisters stomach "Listen here little nephew, I will never look at you the same way again."

Astrid swatted her sisters shoulder while laughing "Gods, some of the facts that I found were weird. I told Hiccup that one, and I had never seen him look so disgusted before."

Astrid leaned her head back, her hands going to her stomach "I'm almost excited for this. I mean, I know I'm young, and Hiccup is young, but a baby."

Ashton had taken Astrid's phone while her sister was occupied. She was looking through the most recent facts that her sister had been reading. Ashton laughed, looking over at her sister who had her eyes closed and a contented smile on her face "But are you ready for your feet to possibly grow a full size?"

Astrid's eyes snapped open "Ew, what? No." she looked down at her feet, tilting her head "My feet are fine as they are."

"What are you going to do for work?"

Astrid shrugged "Can't train or fight, obviously. So I don't know. Maybe I'll be one of those stay at home moms or something."

"Make Hiccup do all the work?"

Astrid stared down at her stomach before nodding "Yes. If I'm the one at home with the baby all day, he can bring home all the money."

Ashton watched her sister talk. She talked about Hiccup and their future like… Like they already had everything planned out, which they probably do. He can bring the money home? Is that Astrid's way of saying that the two are going to be moving in together soon or after the baby? She couldn't keep from thinking about whether or not the two would end up married either.

"Oh! Off the baby talk. I know someone who likes you, he's a bit of an idiot sometimes, but he's also real nice and not Eret."

Ashton narrowed her eyes at her sister "Who is it? Because I swear if he turns out to be a jerk like Eret I will -"

"He's not like Eret, I swear!" Astrid said with a laugh, cutting Ashton off "Better, I guess in a way. You know Ruffnut." Ashton nodded "Her twin brother, Tuffnut. I know you've only met him a few times, but he's a sucker for the whole twin thing. And you've got the whole, beautiful brown hair, blue eyes thing going on that he's always dated."

"Tuffnut? Really?"

Astrid nodded, crossing her arms and smiling at her twin "Come on. He's not that bad, I promise. He's also not the brightest ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, but he's nice. His longest relationship was two years back in high school, since then he's just been on pointless dates."

Ashton wasn't sure how she felt. The Thorston twins were violent. They were both nice people, but also violent. Tuffnut was always out hanging with Lout somewhere, she wouldn't be able to tell anyone when the last time she saw either of them was "I mean… He's cute, I guess. What do you have in mind?"

Astrid smiled again, pulling her phone out to text Ruffnut "Another double date with Hiccup and me. It'll be better than the one with Eret."

"Okay. Okay, I guess let's do it."

Astrid sighed with relief "Good. Because I didn't have the heart to say no to those giant puppy dog eyes of his."
