*One Year Time Skip*
It's been a year since their first anniversary. Stoick and Valka have started to see each other more as friends since their date in the woods. Once in a while, Stoick will whistle the song for Valka's amusement. The two have gotten closer, but not close enough to give themselves away to each other. The temptation for Stoick to be with her was killing him. It didn't help the fact that he started to notice her body changing over the years. She was defiantly an early bloomer.
Sometimes, Stoick tries to work out in front of her to get her attention. Valka knew what he was doing, so she'll torture him to think that she doesn't care. When in reality, she likes seeing his large muscles ripple, but he didn't need to know that just yet.
~oOo~
The morning of their second anniversary, Valka woke up and saw that her father-in-law wasn't home. She took the advantage to finally do her plan. She went into her closet and found a nice outfit to wear. Originally she was supposed to wear this during their honeymoon, but this felt more appropriate.
Once she got dressed, she looked at herself in a mirror. The leather skirt went down to her knees, the fur boots were only ankle height, but she decided to go barefoot. The knitted tan shirt was tight now due to the fact that her bust got bigger. The shirt also showed a bit of her lower abdomen. She even tried to pull the shirt down, but that just showed her cleavage. She looked at herself and decided to keep it that way. She looked once more, and decided to let her hair be free and unbrushed.
She was getting tired of the temptations that they had faced for a year now. Once she saw that her chief was gone, she was determined that they would become man and wife today. Just to make sure that he wouldn't come back, she locked the door. She went to the table and cleared it off from the night before. She heard footsteps from the second floor. Valka took a deep breath and sat on the dining table. She crossed her bare legs and leaned back with her arms to prop herself.
She heard him coming down the stairs and her heart started to beat fast. She was pretty sure that Stoick could hear it before he turned around to notice her. Once he turned his head and saw his wife, his face turned red as his beard. Valka smiled smugly and moved up to push out her chest.
"Um….Val, what um…." Stoick could feel his face getting warm. He wasn't sure if she was testing him, or she finally wanted to complete the marriage.
"What? You thought I was only good for cooking?"
Stoick snorted and said "oh defiantly not."
Valka brushed that comment away; she wasn't going to have him distract her by talking about her bad cooking. She got off the table and walked up towards him. She saw his face burning and tried to not look at her. Stoick nervously cleared his throat while trying to think of something to say. "Um…y-you know…..I had plans to-to-meet up with Gobber!" He stuttered.
Valka glared up at him and pursed her lips. "You had plans, to meet up with Gobber?"
Stoick looked around the room and nodded at her.
"You had plans to meet up with Gobber, on our anniversary?" Valka questioned him. Stoick clenched his eyes shut and nodded slowly. After he slowly opened his eyes, he could see he was that she was annoyed. Valka put her hands on her hips and just walked up to their room. "You know what, I don't know what your problem is, but I thought this might be a good time to finally consummate our marriage. I guess I was wrong." She mumbled and went back up the stairs.
~oOo~
Gobber was fixing a sword that needed to be flattened. While he was pounding the heated weapon, he saw his friend walking with his head hung down. "Oh no, what did you do this time?" Gobber called out and saw Stoick lifting his head up and walked towards him.
"Oh Gobber, I really messed up today."
"Wait a minute, last year you didn't say anything. Now you did say something, and both of them happened on your anniversary. Is this going to be a regular thing for you?"
"To be precise last year is was the day after my anniversary."
"Stoick, what did you do?"
"I can tell you what I didn't do."
"You got that right." Stoick heard Valka's voice behind him. He cringed before turning around and saw his wife behind him with arms crossed. She was now fully clothed and had her long hair neatly braided. She looked nothing like she did earlier, but she was just as angry.
"Ah Valka, how are you this fine morning?" Gobber asked and only received a glare. Gobber cleared his throat and continued. "Anyway, I have some good news, but I can tell that this is a bad time."
"No Gobber, go ahead. Tell us your good news." Valka said trying to hide her anger with a smirk. Gobber cleared his throat again. "Oh, um….. well, this is my first day as The Blacksmith."
"Gobber that's great!" Stoick cheered as Valka jumped slightly and hugged him.
"We should celebrate! Just the three of us, our own little party! What do you say, Gobber?" Valka asked with a grin.
"How about we celebrate tomorrow, I mean it's your anniversary. You guys should be celebrating each other." Gobber said and went back to work leaving the couple alone. Valka sighed and looked up at her husband. Stoick rubbed the back of his neck and whispered "can we talk? You know, back home?" Valka gave him a slow nod and they walked back to the house.
~oOo~
Shoutlout and The Chief watched their children walk back to their home from The Forge.
"I don't understand, sir. They have been married for two years now. Why is my daughter not having children?"
"I wish I knew Lout. I'm home every night, and you would think that I would be hearing something after they go to bed."
Shoutlout thought about what he said, and then he glared angrily at his chief. The elderly chief saw the man with pursed lips and a frown on his face. The Chief just kept staring at him and asked "what? What did I say?"
"You've been home, every night, since they got back from their two month long vacation?" Shoutlout grunted.
"Well yes I….oh." The Chief cringed once he realized his mistake.
"You're the reason why our kids don't have children?!"
"I didn't even think about-"
"Chief, with all due respect, you really don't think clearly."
"I just didn't-"
"Did you really think that a married couple would have sex with their father and father-in-law in the same house?!"
"You're right, you're right. I'll go somewhere else soon."
"Good, maybe with you out of the house, we'll finally get those grandchildren we want."
~oOo~
Stoick and Valka go up to their room and sit next to each other on their bed. Valka starts to play with one of her braids while Stoick wasn't sure what to do with his hands. He just started to nervously rub them together over his lap.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Valka mumbled trying to break the silence.
"I really made a giant mistake this morning." Stoick grumbled as he thought about Valka's outfit.
"Don't you mean I made a giant mistake? I thought we were ready, and I freaked you out and I-" Valka was stopped when Stoick put his hand over her mouth.
"Trust me on this Val; you did not make a mistake." He stated and took his hand off of her face. Valka blinked a few times before she understood what he was trying to say.
"So…..what do you want to do?"
"Val, maybe this is a sign. We obviously want 'it', but we're not ready just yet."
Valka nodded and smiled up at him. "Yeah, so…do you think we'll be ready soon?"
Stoick put an arm around her before saying "I like to think so. Let's just wait, and see what happens."
Valka beamed up at him and pressed her head on his chest. Stoick kissed the top of her head and rubbed her arm. Just before anything else could happen, the couple heard the front door open and slam shut. Valka got out of her husband's touch once she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Once he got on the last step, The Chief saw his son and daughter-in-law sitting next to each other.
"Well, before I say anything else, happy anniversary. Also, I'm going to have dinner at The Great Hall Tonight, I think that you two should stay here for dinner."
"Well alright." Stoick said receiving a grin from his father. The three of them just looked around the room not making a sound. Valka just went back to play with her braid and Stoick just cleared his throat waiting for someone to say something.
"Well, I guess I should be going. I'll see you two later. If you need anything, I'll be in The Great Hall." The Chief said walking down the stairs.
~oOo~
The Next day, Stoick and Valka went to The Forge late at night for their little party. The three of them had a mug of mead and some smoked yak meat. Gobber took a bite of his meat before speaking. "So, how's the married life?"
Valka nodded at his question due the fact she had food in her mouth. She swallowed and answered "it's better than I thought it would be. What about you Stoick?"
"Um?" Stoick didn't say anything since he was sipping on his mead. He put his mug on the table and signaled his hand up. "To be honest, I wasn't so sure how this marriage would be, but it's not what I thought it would be."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Valka snapped playfully.
"I mean that I wasn't sure what to expect. We have a big age gap, and I wasn't sure how it was going to work out."
"That's true; I thought you were going to be boring, blood thirsty, nothing but a dragon killing Viking."
"I thought you were going to be stuck up and childish."
"Now you see how your marriage worked out? Just shows that you can't judge people until you get to know them." Gobber said and took a sip from his mug. Stoick nodded in agreement, he never thought he would actually like Valka, but things were definitely changing. Stoick set his empty mug down and continued eating his meat. "Do you want more to drink, Stoick?" Gobber asked.
"No thank you, Valka and I decided that one mug a meal is good enough."
"Wow Valka, you got him whipped!"
The young woman laughed and said "actually, cutting back on the mead was Stoick's idea. I just went along with it."
"Oh, why are you cutting back on the alcohol Stoick?"
"Oh….um…well…" Stoick tried to think of a lie fast. So he thought of the first thing that came to his mind. "I didn't want to be one of those guys who gets dunk and does stupid stuff." Stoick watched Gobber hoping he fell for it. The blond Viking nodded and said "understandable. If I found out that you hurt this young lady, I would probably kill you."
Valka just shook her head and got up from her seat. She stood outside of The Forge and saw that the moon was almost right in the middle on the sky above them. "Um, as much as I'd love to stay more, I can't. It's almost midnight and I do not want to wake up late."
"Yeah you're probably right. Well Gobber it was a nice little get together, but I want to go to bed as well."
"Alright, well goodnight you two." Gobber said before the couple left to go home.
~oOo~
The Chief woke up coughing. He got up from his bed and got a glass of water for himself. He was having a hard time drinking because he kept coughing. He finally got a gulp of water down, but the coughing wouldn't stop. He sat down at the dining table and hung his head down. The Chief jump when he heard the door opening revealing his son and daughter-in-law.
"I thought you were in bed." Stoick said shutting the door.
"I was, but I woke myself up from coughing. I thought a drink of water would help." He said gesturing to the cup.
"Well we just got back hanging out with Gobber, so we're going to bed." Valka said walking away to the stairs.
"Alright then, goodnight."
"Goodnight, chief."
"See you in the morning."
