"Can I spend some time with my little sister?" Hiccup asks Rye. I love having Rye as my personal seat. But I always love spending time with my brother. "Sure," Rye says. I swim forward, Hiccup grabs my wrist and paddles me away from Astrid and my boyfriend. "Are you okay?" He asks me.

We tread water as we talk. "I'm fine Hiccup. But are you going to be like this my entire pregnancy?" I reply. Hiccup shrugs, almost like he's cringing. "No…. I just want to make sure your nightmare isn't your reality." He says. I bite my lip when he mentions the nightmare, it still frightens me.

Hiccup turns around to look at Astrid, and then over at the beach. I take the opportunity to scare him. I slip under the water, I can't open the eyes because of all the salt in the water.

So I feel until my hand bumps Hiccup's wooden leg, I'm so happy that when I'm bored I see how long I can hold my breath. Now when I swim I can hold it for almost a minute and a half! I can feel movements from Hiccup's body as he panics and searches for me.

I grip his wooden foot and pull him under. A very loud, and audible scream is let out. If I can hear that underwater, how loud was it above the surface?! I quickly stick my head above water for a second and suck in some air. Hiccup is still underwater, I can feel the waves from his body. He can hold his breath longer than me, so he should be fine. Why not have some more fun?

I reach out and feel the wooden foot again. I grab it and shake it around a bit. From what I can feel, Hiccup is seriously freaking out. I yank his body downward so he feels like he's falling. I give one last pull on the wooden foot before releasing it. I feel splashing as Hiccup swims to the surface. So much fun in just under two minutes!

"Where is Belle!? I can't find her! And there is something down there! Get the dragons!" Hiccup panics as he frantically calls for his wife and sister's boyfriend. He turns to look for any blood or clothing or a body in the water. Not even noticing that Astrid and Rye are resisting the urge to laugh, as they saw the whole scenario.

I surface some feet behind Hiccup. He is looking at Astrid and Rye calling something about not being able to find me. He starts searching in front of him as if he expects to find a body. I swim forward silently and grab his shoulders. Pulling him back almost completely under the water.

I release him and surface once more, Hiccup is panting. I burst out laughing, Rye and Astrid start laughing to at Hiccup's shuddering and panicking. Hiccup turns around, I am laughing so hard I can barely see straight.

He reaches forward and grabs my waist. He scowls at me, some betrayal hidden in his eyes. "That was not nice! Or funny! And very dangerous!" Hiccup says. I stop laughing, "I know. But lighten up! No one was harmed!" I say. Hiccup keeps his stern gaze, "How are we sure?! The baby could have just died from lack of air! Or been hit so hard it died from being jostled around!" He rants loudly. I look at him in an ashamed way. "I'm sure the baby is fine. And I'm sorry for what I did." I say quietly. Hiccup wraps his arms completely around my waist and hugs me tight.

"It's okay Belle, it was kinda funny." He says with a smile. Hiccup, he is always so forgiving.

"I'm hungry." I say after we swim for another hour. Rye looks at me in peculiar way, "But it's barely lunch, and we're not hungry." He says. I look at the older three staring at me like I'm insane. "I'm eating for two, get one of the dragons to catch us some fish." I say in a slightly annoyed way. Hiccup gives me a small smile of sympathy, "Oh. Okay, I'll have Fireworm do it." Rye sheepishly replies. I give a satisfied smile to the others.

Fireworm catches us four fish, and as Hiccup sets them to cook on a fire, we sit down to relax and talk.

"How are you feeling Belle?" Rye asks me and repositions us so I'm cuddled up next to him. "Okay, hungry, a little cranky, sometimes I get small feelings like I might throw up again, my stomach feels a little weird at times." I answer his question and put a hand on my stomach. "Sounds uncomfortable," He says and rubs my back with his hand. "It's only going to get worse. There will be pain, and more throwing up, swelling, kicks and much more." I say like the discomfort now is actually enjoyable. Rye kisses my lips gently. As he pulls his lips away he says loud enough for all to hear, "I can't wait for us to be parents." I smile at the words, I want to be a parent to.

Hiccup and Astrid look at the slightly younger couple. They are only dating, they have only been together for a few months, but they are taking on parenthood like they have been married for years.

Astrid feels a small thump inside her, she knows she kind of wants children to. She has no experience with children, especially babies, but a small bit of motherly instinct kicks in as she looks at Isabella and Rye. Is that jealousy of Belle she feels? It can't be…

Astrid purses her lips a bit as she looks at Rye slipping his hand around to Isabella's stomach and rubbing it gently.

Hiccup notices Astrid's feelings. "Someday…" he whispers. "Someday after Isabella's baby is here. You know we will be the its aunt and uncle, we can practice being parents with the baby." He says in a hushed whisper.

My eyes look up from Rye's hand on my stomach and I see Hiccup whispering things to Astrid. We should include everyone in something. Hiccup finishes speaking to Astrid and they look back at us. "So we've picked out names, but why don't we take some guessing at if it's a boy or a girl?" I say. Hiccup nods in agreement at my guessing game.

"Me first, I'm the dad after all." Rye says and twists himself a bit to look at my stomach. He stares at my belly in concentration. "Boy. You said you liked the name Ashin, right?" Rye says with a snicker. I roll my eyes at his remark.

"Astrid?" I ask her. Astrid looks at me as well, "I agree with Rye, it will be a boy." She says to us. I raise my eyebrows a bit as I hear about her guess at a boy as well.

Hiccup scoots himself in front of me and puts his hands on my stomach, he feels for a minute. Rubbing and narrowing his eyes at one spot for a second before moving to another. He pulls back finally and moves back to Astrid. "It's going to be a girl. What do you say Belle?" Hiccup finally says. I'm the mother, I should have the best guess of all. "A, a girl. I think it will be a girl." I answer to everyone. Astrid looks at us, "So the siblings think it's a girl, and the significant others think boy?" She asks, we all nod our heads in reply.

"The fish!" Hiccup cries and runs to the fire. Just our luck, they are all burnt and the best thing to do is just give one to each of the dragons.


Sorry, a better, longer chapter is coming soon. I just needed to include this, but the next piece has to be separate. ;) Wait a bit. I will have something more interesting soon.

Though, I am very pleased with the results of this chapter. It's funny and sweet, now Isabella's problems might get a bit worse. But I'm not giving out any spoiler. :D Until the next chapter, my readers.
