I would like to say I'm getting back into my stride but it would be a lie. Still... I'm trying.

-HTTYD-

Astrid finished with Erica and placed her down in her crib, checking Raider was still sleeping like a Hotburple and smiling as he shifted in his fur wrap. He was a beautiful little thing, with big green eyes and a lighter shade of his parents reddish-brown autumn mops. He often grabbed Astrid's finger when she was holding him, which just melted her heart.

Satisfied both were settled, Astrid made to go back downstairs.

"H-Hiccup!"

She knew that tone anywhere, both surprised and unsurprised to see Valka arching her back and writhing in her chair, Hiccup's messy hair visible between her thighs where he knelt on the floor.

Guess she was feeling back on sexual form too. Astrid was glad; it had been amazing but still slightly strange to only be two constantly for the last month or so, rather than a rarity because their third was out.

Astrid sat down on the stairs, watching hungrily as Hiccup appeared to be putting a great deal of energy into whatever he was up to. Valka's head tipped back, moaning and gasping and doing her best to ride her sons eager tongue. Heat built in her own groin as she watched, knowing Hiccup could send her to Valhalla with his mouth and torn between jealousy and arousal as she observed her other lover climb to possibly the first release in some two or three months.

Sure enough, Valka could take little of the exquisite attentions before she quaked in the chair, knuckles visibly so tight on the chair arms Astrid could see them turn white. Those moans were locked in Astrid's memory, knowing how Valka whimpered and gasped and quivered at the heights of pleasure.

Hiccup lifted his head at last, lust and hunger written over his shining face, wet as he licked his lips. Valka continued letting out little whines and whimpers, trembling weakly.

"Was that ok? Any pain?"

"Mmm."

She raised her hand in a thumbs up motion, relaxing deeply into her seat as Hiccup stood, wiping his mouth on his tunic. Astrid squirmed and the stairs creaked, Hiccup's molten gaze turning up toward where she was sat, caught. Hiccup beckoned her closer and Astrid went on only slightly-shaky legs, more aroused than she'd realised until standing.

"Enjoy the show did we?"

His hand came around to splay on her lower back, pulling her close and capturing her lips. Astrid could taste Valka on his tongue still, fresh pulses of arousal heating her blood as Hiccup kissed her thoroughly, teeth scraping across her lip telling that Hiccup was pretty tightly wound himself. His erection digging into her hip was another hint.

Their front door knocked and Hiccup growled, squeezing Astrid's ass and wiping his mouth again before casting a look to Valka, who was looking a little too dopey but otherwise fully dressed. He headed to the door, pulling it open and Astrid was fairly certain whoever it was could tell they'd interrupted the chief getting hot under the tunic.

"Sorry to disturb you chief. You're needed at the Great Hall for the meeting about yaks."

She recognised Eret's voice, wondering when he would stop being used by the other villagers as an errand boy. Not wanting to upset anyone, Eret always agreed.

"Damnit. Forgot about that. Give me a few minutes? I was uh, busy."

Eret snorted, but composed himself as he saw Astrid behind Hiccup's back. She gave a little wave.

"Of course."

Hiccup pushed the door closed, rolling his eyes and dragging a hand through his mussed hair with a sigh.

"I'm gonna go say bye to the kids and then I guess I'm going to go argue with mad old men full of mead about yaks."

"Try saying that five times fast."

Hiccup glared, climbing the stairs still barefoot to check in on the babes. It wasn't pleasant news to any of them - both Astrid and Valka were sufficiently hot-blooded too. Though... they had each other. Poor Hiccup had to go to a very un-sexy meeting while two eager women stayed behind in their hut.

He came down in chief cloak and a heavier tunic - probably to hide the erection Astrid could feel when he kissed her goodbye. Valka got similar treatment, his hungry kisses leaving her a little dazed as he growled before whistling to Toothless and heading out to where Eret still waited - Astrid could hear Skullcrusher grumble in greeting.

She assumed Hiccup would have mentioned if either of their babies were awake, so when Valka kissed her soundly Astrid had no reason to argue. They made it to what was outwardly still her bedroom, leaving the door ajar in case one woke but otherwise there was nothing to distract from bodies hitting the bed.

Valka's hands pushed up beneath her tunic, cupping her softened hips and thighs. In a way, Astrid minded her doing it less than Hiccup; her body had gone through similar changes and while she knew it was madness, Astrid occasionally worried Hiccup's interest in her body could wane. They stripped each other quite quickly, left only in their undergarments once Valka made short work of both their breast bindings.

Intimately familiar with the changes pregnancy and the ensuing events caused, both women were delicate with their lovers swollen and even sometimes sore chests. Valka ran her fingers along the side of her breast, smiling as Astrid trembled a little. They kissed lazily, nuzzling and mouthing at jaws and necks and lips. Valka so loved to cover Astrid in kisses, lips pressing along her collarbone and shoulder, the flat line between her breasts as she peeled off Astrid's underwear.

When her mouth was coasting her stomach, Astrid knew what the goal was but she still gasped in shock as a hot tongue pressed in, burning against her clit. Her back arched clean off the bed, Valka's hands pinning her hips down as her eager mouth devoured the younger woman with a primal hunger. Not that Hiccup stinted on oral, but Astrid had still missed Valka's attentions very much.

Valka pulled back to breathe, nipping at Astrid's inner thigh and the sharp pleasure-pain on the sensitive spot made her jerk. Nimble fingers worked their way inside her, doubling the intense heat burning between Astrid's thighs as Valka's tongue tormented every inch of her.

Hiccup had left Astrid quite tightly wound, so Valka's constant efforts were soon rewarded with her coming violently on her tongue, trying in vain against Valka's grip to rut against her mouth and sustain the climax. Eventually she fell back to the bed, moaning softly as little aftershocks ran through her. Valka smiled and rubbed circles on the inside of her knee as Astrid came down, stretching leisurely when no longer worried about kicking Valka off the bed.

Wiping her mouth on a discarded shift, Valka crawled up the bed and Astrid kissed her eagerly. It took more energy than she expected to have, finding a second wind as she pushed Valka on to her back. It had taken a while for her to get over her nerves and go down on Valka, but she didn't do it often. It wasn't out of laziness or lack of want... Astrid just loved watching her. Valka bucked and thrashed on Astrid's fingers, moaning and arching beautifully.

She never complained in the least, and was often treated to the sight of Astrid tasting her on Hiccup's mouth and cock. Astrid slipped her fingers between soft thighs, reveling in the hitch of Valka's breath, soft moans escaping her parted lips. There was something incredibly erotic about feeling Valka hot and wet on her fingers, as arousing as feeling Hiccup harden in her hand.

"Gods Astrid..."

Her breathy exhalations of pleasure made Astrid wetter, tingling despite the recent satisfaction but Valka's own peak was more pressing now. Astrid pressed her fingers inside her husbands mother, enjoying the sudden gasp as she crooked her fingers upward to touch the spot that made Valka quake and cry out, thighs shaking where they rested either side of Astrid's knees.

Astrid watched as her head rolled back, exposing her gorgeous pale throat above where sharp collarbones moved beneath lightly freckled skin. Her slender hands fisted in the bed pelt, the taut lines of her limbs telling Astrid she was close. Torn between watching and wanting it to be as explosive an end as possible, Astrid dropped her head and ran her tongue over the firm little bud of Valka's clit until she won the sounds that signalled Valka reaching Valhalla.

She fell back to the current realm slowly, whimpering as Astrid's fingers left her body, hastily wiped off on the bed furs. As Valka's cries had died down, Astrid had heard new ones.

"I think one woke up and disturbed the other."

Valka chuckled, pushing herself into a seated position on somewhat uncooperative arms. They both threw on their shifts for a little modesty in case Hiccup came back, opening the door and inadvertently showing off two naked women.

Both Raider and Erica wanted feeding and subsequently changing, and both were utterly beautiful little people already. Raider was two months old by then, apparently stockier and sturdier than Hiccup had been at that age which relieved his father greatly; Hiccup had feared passing his weedy stature and sickly bodies to his children. Erica's pudgy belly and round cheeks and Raider's strong fists and chunky legs were both putting paid to those concerns.

"Anyone home?"

"Up here babe."

Astrid called back, hearing Hiccup's metal leg every other step as he came up the stairs. He tossed his chiefs cloak on the back of his desk chair, then headed over and sat in the space created between Astrid and Valka. He reached for Erica as she wasn't still nursing, nuzzling her cheek and smiling at his daughter.

"Yaks. I had to have a meeting explaining that everyone is entitled to yak milk, but if they want more than their share then they can have their own yak."

Astrid chuckled at her husbands disgruntled face, though when Erica reached up and touched him Hiccup visibly brightened. Erica's bright eyes fixed on her daddy, something resembling a smile stretching her lips and tipping them up at the sides.

"Hey, look here. I think she's getting a tooth."

Astrid and Valka both peered in where Hiccup pointed, gently pushing Erica's bottom lip aside to show the white bump just visible in the pink gums.

"It's ok for you, you don't have to have her start biting on your nipple."

"I promise to kiss it better?"

If Hiccup wasn't holding their daughter, she would punch his arm.

"Still, it's meant to be a good sign they start getting teeth by six months. I suppose I can live with that."

Hiccup smiled, Valka joining in behind him as she shifted Raider up to wind him.

"Why don't you two go flying? I get to fly every day, you two never get the chance much lately. I can watch the kids."

Astrid and Valka both made token protests, but it was hard to deny how badly they both wanted to be up in the air with their dragons.

"You sure?"

"Positive. Go. Get some air, feel some exhilaration."

Astrid kissed her husband thoroughly, Valka following suit while Astrid moved to get herself dressed properly for the first time in days. They both carried their respective birthed babies downstairs for Hiccup while he had a quick clean up in the bathroom, rinsing the smell of ale and yak from his skin and wearing his lounging tunic when he came down to two excitable women.

"What are you waiting for, a contract?"

"To make sure you hadn't changed your mind."

"You think me so cruel? Go on, Cloudjumper and Stormfly were patiently waiting outside a few minutes ago."

Sure enough, Hiccup had brought their dragons along to ensure they could go straight to flying. It was almost early evening but both were accomplished night flyers. Stormfly and Cloudjumper both greeted them happily, both fond of their offspring and also grizzly about the lack of quality time spent flying.

"Come on girl. Lets show these two how fast we are."

"I think that may be a challenge Cloudjumper!"

Something about the way Valka said her dragons name went right through Astrid like hot yak milk, leaving buttery warmth inside her. Her voice was so beautiful. They both climbed up on their dragons backs, something very noticeable in the slight lack of purchase from her thighs telling Astrid she was a little out of practice. Now Erica didn't need feeding every hour or so, Astrid hoped they could remedy that.

"You bet it is."

Valka threw Astrid a playful smirk, sitting more securely on her Stormcutter than she usually did, possibly aware she too hadn't flown massive amounts the last few months. Though with over two decades of practice, she would probably figuratively be back in the saddle in no time.

They took it gently to readjust for a couple of miles, but once Astrid's body remembered how to tighten her thighs and she had reacquainted herself with the wind whipping through her clothes, whistling past her ears... they really got into flying.

"Come on Stormfly. Show him its not just about having four wings."

Her Nadder squawked, flapping faster as they tumbled through clouds and laughed with the pure joy, the rush of flying and grappling with fierce winds. They came to a stop at no particularly defined point, grinning at each other from the backs of their dragons.

"By the gods I've missed this."

"Me too. I mean don't get me wrong, the kids are well worth it. But I can still be happy they are getting older and don't need to be strapped to my chest all the time."

"Absolutely. I needed this so much."

Astrid nodded in agreement, even the sound of wing beats music to her starving soul as she got back into the swing of soaring through the air.

"We'll have to be sure we thank Hiccup for all but throwing us at these guys. Come on girl, what say we do a little diving?"

Stormfly did so, Cloudjumper not flinging himself down as violently since Valka had nothing to grab hold of for the vertical dive - she needed to hold on to something or Cloudjumper would simply leave her behind. They dipped and dived and zipped around for what felt like days, though it was likely only an hour or two at most.

Closer to where the moon was starting to shine in the ever-moving ocean, Astrid felt a twinge in her chest, reminding her that while Erica didn't need feeding as often, Raider would and so they should get back.

"Ready to go home?"

"Mhmm."

They dismounted their dragons, giddy with the flight, and headed in to their hut. Hiccup was sound asleep on the sofa, Erica in one arm while Raider rested in a sling around his chest. They were the most adorable picture, Toothless like a huge black guard dog as he slumbered next to them between floor and dying fire. Astrid tossed a log onto it, fuelling the flames while Valka delicately stepped toward the pile of sleeping children - Hiccup looked five years younger when soft with sleep and at peace with his babies.

Gently, she nudged Hiccup's shoulder. He grumbled and shifted but seemed to realise he had weights on him, beautiful green eyes opening to peek at the babes sleeping upon him

"Group naps are the best. Enjoy your dragon downtime?"

"Very. Was just what I needed. I'm gonna go change so I can feed the little screamer."

"Indeed. We shall return soon darling."

She and Valka changed back to their comfy shifts that allowed easy access to their chests, stretching out muscles she had almost forgotten how to use. They retrieved their children from Hiccup's chest and he sat up, yawning slightly and rubbing his stomach.

"Guessing it was dinner sometime recently?"

Until he mentioned that, Astrid had forgotten she was hungry.

"Definitely. If it wasn't we are making it dinner time."

Hiccup chuckled, stumbling and stretching as he got up and began hunting through whatever food they had.

"I could make stew but it'll take time... that can wait til tomorrow. Yak pies all round?"

Astrid would have almost even eaten the twins cooking, she was so hungry. Yak pies sounded excellent.

"Works for me."

"Me too."

They gelled together quite well, Astrid never tired of noticing. Dinner and dragons, children and cuddles. Sex and seduction, Astrid smirked to herself as Hiccup eyed them both over dinner. He had been interrupted earlier after all.

Expect a time jump in the next chapter. Only so long I can write babies before I start wanting to climb the walls.
