A/N: Alvis finds out something interesting about his father.
By the way, I've gotten several requests for Alvis going missing/captured/taken by outcasts. I have not seen the outcast episodes in the tv series but when I do expect a chapter that combines these ideas.
Well this is kind of a short one…I guess it IS supposed to be a drabble series…thank you for reading/reviewing!
Alvis was chasing Eggshell around Freya's cradle in the living room when Hiccup came in from the front door. Snow flurried outside and sprinkled onto the carpet until he shut the door.
"Hey, pal. Being nice to your sister?"
"Uh…yes, Sir?"
Freya began to bawl.
Alvis glanced bug eyed and alarmed at her.
Hiccup laughed, picked Freya up and rocked her.
"Don't worry, Al, she's not upset with you. She just wants attention."
When the baby was asleep again, Hiccup put her back and sank heavily into a wood chair.
"Aw, man, this weather's making my joints ache."
Hiccup crossed his legs to reach his false foot. He rolled up his pants leg, took off his boot and began to twist the metal limb off.
Alvis was staring at him as though a frost giant had come into his door instead of his father. He was sweating and trembling violently.
"Alvis, what is all the shouting for…oh, Hiccup, you're home."
Astrid was on the landing of the stairs just as Alvis bolted out the door.
Hiccup was sitting in his chair, holding his foot, looking stunned.
"You've never showed him your foot, have you?"
"Now I have."
"Well you better go get him, the blizzard is coming pretty fast. And we don't want another Haddock starting an avalanche."
"Hey, if I recall, I didn't start the game of 'let's knock Hiccup off his dragon'."
"If I recall, I didn't start an avalanche."
"Yeah, well…you…"
Astrid laughed.
"Just get your son, Hiccup."
