A/N: Hey guys what's up? Good? Bad? Great! Whatever it is, hope it gets better!
Also, I didn't write all of the two months vacation, because I thought it make the story way too long.
If you guys want, I can make a delete parts fanfic of it, but I'll only do it if enough people want more details about the two months.
But don't worry, there is a reason why The Chief made them leave. So it's not pointless to the story.
Anyway, hope you enjoy :)
The next morning, Valka woke up Stoick before anyone walked in on them. They got dressed in separate rooms and waited for The Chief to come to tell them to get ready for the next ceremony. They went to sit at the dining table waiting for him to walk through the door. After a few moments of waiting, The Chief walked in the house with a smile.
"Did you two sleep well?" He asked them and received a nod from the both of them. "Well good, now Stoick are you ready to give her the morning gift?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." He said picking up the little box as they walked outside of their house.
The three of them walked to The Great Hall and stood outside of it by the double doors. After about an hour, everyone was in the village waiting for the last marriage ceremony to be started.
"EVERYONE, I WELCOME YOU THIS MORNING TO WITNESS THE MORNING GIFT CEREMONY OF MY SON AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW." The Chief bellowed out for everyone to hear. Stoick saw his father give him the signal to proceed with the ceremony.
"I Stoick the Vast give you, Valka a key to our household. With this, you don't just become a part of the Haddock family, but a leader as well. I put my trust in you to help me protect our family and to lead me through battles."
Valka took the box and said "I Valka promise you, Stoick to be a leader, protect our family, and lead you through battles."
"'I'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU CITIZENS OF BERK, MR. AND MRS. HADDOCK!" The Chief roared to the crowd and they cheered for the new married couple.
"Oh by the way, the ship to your vacation is ready to set sail." The Chief said to them and walked away from them.
~oOo~
It was a day's journey to get to the island. It was small but very green. Once they docked, they took their bags and followed the directions to the hut The Chief laid out for them. When they found the hut, it was small but cozy. They set their bags on the floor and Valka collapsed on the couch.
"This is going to be the two longest months of my life!" she cried out.
"No kidding, but maybe we should make the most of it."
"Like what?"
"What about that date we talked about last night?"
"How about we unpack first?" She asked him. Stock nodded and they stared to unpack their things.
~oOo~
After they finished unpacking, Stoick went out and found a trail in the woods. Stoick picked up his axe and they both followed the trail. During their walk, Stoick was hoping to find an animal to kill.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Valka said trying to break the silence.
"Um, like what do you like to do for fun?"
Valka sighed trying to think of the best answer. "Well I like to read-"
"You read?" Stoick was shocked, when she was a kid girls weren't allowed to read. Berk didn't support girls to learn literature until a few years ago.
"Yeah, before girls were allowed to read, Spitelout went ahead and taught me."
"What else do you like to do?"
"I like to do little things. Manly watching the sky, climb trees, one time I found a giant stick that fell out of a tree and I stared to swing it pretending it was some rod or staff. Nothing really special, so what do you like?"
"I like to hunt and fight. When I'm feeling down I sharpen my axe or do target practice. So, do you want more rules on the marriage?"
"I made mine all ready, how about you make some rules."
"Alright but I only have one rule: we trade sleeping on the bed and couch every night."
"So who sleeps on the bed tonight?"
"Since I slept on the floor the other night, I think I should take the bed."
"Fair enough."
~oOo~
The next two months were boring after that. Valka and Stoick had talked more, but that was all they did. When they weren't talking, Stoick would hunt for boar, deer, or any animal. If he wasn't doing that, he would practice throwing his axe. While Valka would just sew and knit clothes from the dead animal's fur.
They went ahead and started to pack up before the ship docked at the island. Valka decided to look for fruit to eat while they sailed back to Berk. While she was still picking fruit and placing them in the folds of her skirt like a bowl, she heard a horn blow. The ship had just docked. Valka put the fruit in a barrel that was on the ship and helped Stoick place their belongings on it.
The journey back home felt shorter than leaving it. When they both saw that little island in the distance, they were filled with joy. Neither one of them thought they would be homesick for Berk. Right after they docked, people were welcoming them home and helping them grabbing their things.
"Welcome home!" The Chief cried hugging his son and daughter-in-law. "Lunch is about to start."
~oOo~
Stoick and Valka never thought they would be glad to eat Berkian food. They were enjoying their lunch with their village for the first time in months. Valka was now allowed to sit next to The Chief for the first time since the wedding.
After a while before they started to leave, Stoick saw a drunken man walking towards them and put his floppily arm around Valka's shoulders.
"Hey lass, I was wondering when you would return."
"Hey!" Stoick cried out to him. "That's my wife you're talking to!"
"Stoick, it's alright. It's just an inside joke between us."
"You know this loon?" Stoick asked her pointing at the big blond drunk.
"Yes, he's The Blacksmith's Apprentice."
"What's up?" he asked Stoick with his arm still around her.
Stoick now knew why he had never seen the guy, only The Blacksmith can make The Chief and his family's weapons. The Apprentice can only make the villagers' weapons.
Valka cleared her throat to get their attention. "Um, Stoick meet Gobber the Belch."
Stoick stared at the man. "Oh, so you're Gobber. I heard a lot about you, but for some reason I never saw you."
"The Forge is like my home, you can find me there if I'm not here."
"Are you always this drunk?"
Valka answered "Well, where do think he got the title 'Gobber the Belch?"
"It was nice to finally talk with you, Stoick." Gobber said holding his limp hand out. Stoick grabbed his hand and shook it. Gobber then stumbled out of The Great Hall leaving a confused Stoick watching him leave.
"I think you two will be great friends!" Valka said cheerfully, but Stoick gave her a look that said "not on your life".
A/N: Gobber is now in my fanfic! YAY! I never thought he be so much fun to write.
