Chapter 5 Extra Help

"Alright Stormfly." I told her as we landed at the market "Keep a look out for Hiccup and Toothless. If you see them, come and get me."

-Chirps in agreement-

"Thanks." I responded as I walked into the market to find the sugar and maybe another gift for Hiccup while I was here. "I'll stop by Gobber's and see if he has any fancy daggers. I bet Hiccup would like that."

"ASTRID!" an all too familiar voice rang out from behind me

Turning around, I saw that it was my mother holding a basket of fruit and veggies

"Hey mom." I said as she approached

"And how's my favorite daughter today?" she asked as she gave me a hug

"I'm good. Just in need of some sugar."

"You making cake?"

"Yeah." I said slowly "Valka and I are having some trouble making one. We ended up running out of sugar."

-Chuckles-"Well many cakes have you too made?"

"Three?" I said subconsciously

"'Three?!'" my mother questioned in awe "Why don't you let me come over and help you two?"

"That would be great!" I told her "Just as long as Hiccup doesn't find out."

"Why?"

"You know what he's like." I told her as I walked over to where Phaliga was selling her baking items "He hates it when someone goes out of their way for him. He'll do it for others, sure, but he won't let them do it for him."

"Well ya' can't blame him dear." my mother said "After all, for the first fifteen years of his life, no one gave him a second thought as far as his feelings were concerned."

"I know." I said sadly. Gods why did I do that to him? I asked myself All of those years of denial. All of those years of treating him like he was dirt. And yet…he still loves me. He married me for Thor's sake! He forgave me above and beyond what I deserved. He forgave them all. He was even willing to die for the very people that rejected him.

"He is defiantly loyal. That's for sure." my mother said breaking my thoughts "And has Hiccup ever told you that you think out loud when your truly sorry?" she said with a grin

"Was I really?" I asked Gods I need to fix that

"Or when you're embarrassed?"

"You know what? I'm just going to stop thinking for a few minutes." I said with a laugh "I need to get the sugar before Hiccup shows u-."

"Hey Astrid!" Hiccup said as he walked up, interrupting what I was saying

"Oh! Um…hi….Hiccup…w-what are you doin' here?"

"Um…I was just checking on things in the market." he said as he cocked one of his eyebrows "What are you doing here?"

"I…I…um…" I stuttered

"You know how funny you look when you're hiding something?" Hiccup said grinning widely

"Um…hiding..? W-who's hiding…? Arg! Hiccup! Would you be so kind as to stop confusing me?"

-Chuckles-"Whatever you say dearest." he said as he pulled me into a kiss "Now." he said as he broke it off "What are you doing here?"

"I came to buy some more sugar."

"'Sugar'? But Astrid, I just bought a bunch of sugar the other day!"

"I know. But…." I said as I gestured to Stormfly

"Ahh. Yes. Nadders and their sweet teeth. Makes since. But would you mind if I joined you?"

"Actually, I think it's time for you and Toothless to go for a flight." I told him giving Toothless a wink

"What fli-"

Hiccup was cut off by Toothless who grabbed Hiccup's waist with his gums and tossed him into the air

"TOOOOTTTTTTHHHHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Hiccup screamed as he flipped through the air and landed on top of Toothless' saddle "What –weary sigh- was that for?" And with that, Toothless shot off into the sky with Hiccup shouting out of fright

"Perfect." I said as I watched them disappear into the clouds "Now just as long as Toothless keeps him up there until super, we have time to finish the preparations.

"Alright." my mother said as she approached "I've got the sugar. Now let's go and finish what you have started."

"That is a wonderful idea." I said putting my finger up at the word 'wonderful' "However, I want to see if Gobber has any daggers that have gold inlays on them. I think that he would like that."

"That's a wonderful idea sweetheart." she responded with a smile "I'll just meet you at your place."

"Alight. I'll see ya' latter mom." I said as we parted ways "Now. Off to Gobber's."

"Hey Gobber ya' here?" I asked as I walked up to the front counter

"Well hi there Astrid!" the smith greeted me heartily "What can I do for ya' t'day?"

"I was hoping to buy Hiccup a new dagger. One with gold inlaying on the hilt and blade. Do you have anything like that?"

"I think I got s'me ceremonial daggers that fit that description." Gobber said "Let me ch'k the back of t'e store."

"Thanks Gobber." I said as he disappeared around the corner of the forge only to reappear in a heartbeat with the said daggers in his hand

"Will o'n of th'se do ya' lass?" he asked as he placed them on the counter

"Oh Gobber." I said in awe "They're beautiful!"

"Ye've got yer' husbn'd to tha'k for th't." he said modestly "I don't got the knack for t'em fancy weapons."

"So Hiccup made these?" I asked in awe of my husband's handiwork. Sure I knew that he was great at items like these, but these were beyond his previous work. They were all the size of your average throwing dagger, each with a different symbol on them. One had gold and silver imprinting on both the hilt and the blade and the hilt was carved to represent a Skrill with the Skrill being coted in silver and gold highlights on its wings and spines. The blade of the said dagger had ancient Viking runs on it that were laid in gold that (according to Gobber) said "Forever Mine". Another had a polished wooden hilt that was carved to look like the tail of a Nadder, with its head stretching up onto the blade. The Nadder was outlined in silver and had gold highlights on its spines and wings. The third one was made completely out of Gronkle Iron with the hilt being molded to look like a night fury with its tail stretching up the blade and its head down through the hilt. The night fury had silver details on its wings and tail and the blade had gold runs on it that said "Protector"

"This one is amazing Gobber." I said as I held up the night fury dagger "But I'm sure the Hiccup didn't make this one. He's told me that he's had a lot of trouble in molding Gronkle Iron. He said that the only one that he knows that can do that is…you. Gobber…? Did you make this one?"

"Aye. That I did lass." Gobber said with a smile "And be'leive you Me." he continued "That was harder to make than to make Grump wake up in t'e morn'ns."

"Well it's beautiful Gobber." I told the smith "And I wish to buy this one from you for Hiccup's birthday. I'm sure he'll enjoy it very much."

"Take it lass." Gobber said still smiling "Take it as my gift to Hiccup for his bir'day."

"You have to let me pay you something for it." I told him

"No ya' don't. It's me gift to t'e two of ya'. Now go and make his d'y."

"Thank you Gobber." I said as I walked around the counter to give the large man a hug "It means a lot."

"Off wi' ya' lass." Gobber said as we pulled apart. "Or ya' goin' to see th's ol' man cry like a we' babe."

"Alright. I'll see you later at the house for the surprise." I told him as I walked out

"Aye. I'll see ya' th're." Gobber responded with a wave

"It's time to go Stormfly." I told her as I prepared to mount only to have Stormfly give me a look of disgust

"I know that I blamed you for the sugar, but I couldn't tell Hiccup. It would've ruined the surprise."

-Snorts unhappily-

"Come on girl, let's go home and then I'll give you a nice big salmon." I told her with a pat "How's that sound?"

-Gleeful squawk-

"Alright. Then let's go!" I told her as we shot off into the sky
