NEW UPDATE AGAIN

I just have to say thank you again for the reviews, once again they are really supportive and thanks so many ideas so without any more interruption, here's the new chapter, enjoy ;)

Stoick was nearly done mixing and crushing the ingredients after getting some saliva from Toothless since Gothi added that to the list of ingredients because nightfury saliva does have extreme healing properties. He couldn't help but send several glances of worry as Hiccup was still struggling for dear life, screaming every five minutes while breathing heavily and uneven as he was sweating from the heat rising.

Oh son, if only I wasn't such an idiot! If only I just told you the truth then maybe none of this would have happened, Stoick thought to himself as if he could communicate with his former son through thoughts. But now, but now we just have to make sure you're cured from the poison... He glanced once more at Hiccup, knowing that he couldn't lose him, not again, not another...

FLASHBACK

"WHERE'S THE MIDWIFE!? WHAT'S TAKING OSWALD SO LONG TO SEND ONE OVER!?" Stoick screamed, punching the wall since he and his wife were the only ones alone in one crapped room they've been sent too with useless soldiers who tried their best to calm the raging chief. He himself felt very useless as well, he didn't have any experience with child birth since he let the midwives handle that in Berk but now he really wished he had at least some experience!

Valka was laying down on the bed, clearly in pain as she screamed bloody hell as tears threaten to fall as her hands clenched to her swollen stomach as she cried out for her husband. "STOICK I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Stoick was fast to rush over to his wife, holding her sweaty hands which shockingly began squeezing the life out of his hands but nonetheless he held her gently hands to provide comfort and reassurance that everything will be okay. "I'm here Val, I'm here... Don't worry the midwife will be here very soon and we'll have our child, our heir of Berk. We'll finally be parents very soon just hold on just a little longer and I promise everything will be okay." At this point he wasn't sure of he was trying to reassure his wife or himself. "Right now just think of the baby, he or she is just waiting to come out to see what world we live in."

"Did you hear, Oswald's wife Eydis has just given birth to one of her twins!" A soldier announced to the ones who were with Stoick and Valka. "It's a girl! They are just waiting for the second one to come out now!"

When Stoick heard this, he released his hold on Valka's hands as he marched straight towards the soldier and grabbed his shirt to lift him up as the chief demanded with now new anger, "I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT OSWALD WAS GOING TO SEND ONE MIDWIFE OVER TO HELP MY WIFE AND CHILD!"

"N-N-Now chief," the soldier stuttered through his words. "Oswald s-s-said that he w-would send one over b-b-but for now he needs all the best midwives in the island to help his wife, you wife will get her turn later."

"BUT SHE CAN'T WAIT FOREVER!" Stoick tossed the guard to the ground. "Look this is my wife and unborn child there in pain waiting for a midwife to come, they can't simply wait for their turn. We need a midwife now!"

"I reassure you chief our chief Oswald knows what he is doing, don't you worry a midwife will be coming you way very soon just as soon as the second twin is born," the soldier reassured again. "It shouldn't take that long."

ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER...

"Where are they..." Stoick growled under his breath, just ten minutes ago all the soldiers left to see Oswald but there was no of a midwife coming at all. He stayed right beside Valka who was losing patience and strength to hold on much longer. "It's been three hours...I swear if something happens to our child-"

"STOICK I CAN'T!" Valka suddenly shrieked from the pain."I'M SORRY I TRIED TO HOLD ON BUT I CAN FEEL ITS HEAD! MIDWIFE OR NOT THIS BABY WANTS TO BE OUT NOW!" Her teeth clenched as she released more cries of agony! However Stoick could feel panic fill every bit of his body, the midwife wasn't here and now the baby is really coming out! All he could do now was whisper as he wiped the sweat from Valka's forehead. "It's okay Val, we're just going to have to try to deliver this child by learning on the job." As much as he hates saying that because that saying results many consequences, even Valka was afraid but she nodded then screamed once more. Stoick went to the front of the bed, got on his knees and prepared himself for a sight of lifetime..."Alright Val, on three...One...Two...THREE!"

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

"Just one more push!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Valka never felt such pain in her life but when she finally made her final push, she could hardly hear it but there was small weak cries coming out as Stoick quickly grabbed a nearby blanket to wrap the infant up but looking at his expression of shock and panic, she too felt the same emotions being flow in. Stoick approached her with the bundle, revealing a normal sized child, a boy no less, but the infant was purple as he continued to cry.

"It's a boy Val," Stoick tried to smile, "We have a son."

He handed her the bundle so she can see the beautiful child she brought to the world, seeing the same red hair of the father but she couldn't see the eyes yet since the child had them closed. However their small moment of happiness was shortened when the infant started to cough so roughly, and they could immediately tell that the child was not breathing correctly! "Stoick the baby! THE BABY IS NOT BREATHING!"

"MEDICS ANYONE! IS THERE A HEALER ANYWHERE TO HELP US! PLEASE!"

Stoick absolutely felt useless as he and his wife cried desperately for help but no one came to their aid and when all hope seems to be lost, a village woman came running in with panic to see what was all the commotion about until she saw the parents frantic faces and the infant coughing so she was quick to react and try to bring air back to the child.

"Come one baby breathe, breathe..." The woman whispered as she tried her best to get the child to breathe but it was no use. She regrettably handed the infant back with her head hung low with empathy. "I'm sorry, I did what I could..."

Valka and Stoick held their child for a long moment until their nightmares had just turned to reality, for the baby stopped breathing as it laid still in its bundle, eyes still shut to never open at all. It's skin was cold at touch, there was no longer a soul in the child. The parents tried to wake the infant up, knowing it was no use until they finally broke down into tears and began crying out so loud, cursing the gods for taking their child away after arriving in the world for only a few minutes. They could have grieved more but they suddenly heard cheering outside as soldiers announced:

"THE SECOND TWIN IS BORN! IT'S A BOY!"

"WE HAVE OUR TWO HEIRS!"

"BOTH OF THEM ARE ALIVE DESPITE THE SECOND ONE BEING SO SMALL!"

'How dare they cheer?!' Stoick thought to himself with rage, getting up to the exit seeing the village beginning to celebrate and that was when he saw a midwife come running towards his direction as she smiled as if Valka was still in labor! "I'm here, alright let's help your wife bring in her bundle of joy."

Stoick pushed her aside in silence before screaming his lungs out in fury, "YOU'RE TOO LATE! MY BABY IS DEAD! MY SON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF YOUR CHIEF!" The midwife was taken aback at the outburst, and was about to say something but Stoick beat her right to it. "DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING, MY WIFE IS HOLDING OUR CHILD, AND HE'S DEAD AFTER HIS FIRST FEW MINUTES OF LIFE! SO I SUGGEST IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR LIMBS TO GET OUT OF HERE AND TELL OSWALD THAT THE TREATY IS OFF! I WILL NOT SIGN ANYTHING! MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING BACK TO BERK! SO TELL OSWALD THAT HE HAS BROUGHT WAR TO HIMSELF!"

And after that, everything was a blur because all he could remember was the grief, the anger, and sadness...

END OF FLASHBACK

The chief sighed as he frowned from the memory, it was just too painful but he then had Hiccup and boy was that lad the best son a father could ever ask for. Despite losing a child of hi own, he was glad he was able to be a father. He was still lost in his thoughts when he realized that he finally finished preparing the cure but before he was about to get up, Toothless and Windshear all of sudden began to panic as thy roared as they nudged Hiccup!

What are those dragons doing? That was until he realized that Hiccup's heavy breathing was slowly fading to the point that the teen was now struggling to find a breath of air. With his eyes widened with the same panic, Stoick, grabbed the bowl and dashed to his son, with only one thought in his mind:

Hiccup stopped breathing!

Dagur told Heather everything, his plan, his intentions, his non-intentions, and even those who were his accomplice. By the time he was finished, he was still on his knees with his head bowed on the ground while Heather was looking away trying to take in all this new information in. Her thoughts were telling her to yell at Dagur, disown him as a brother for doing such a thing, but her heart was telling her to forgive him, after all, he just wanted to make sure he kept his family.

"Choose what you want to do Heather, I'll understand," Dagur whispered, his eyes glistening with tears. "But what I'm telling you is the truth and I'm truly sorry for everything I've done and caused. If I can I'll go back in time and undo all the wrong I've done, and make sure you both never get hurt again."

Heather was silent for a few more moments before holding her hand out for her brother to reach for, which he did and she helped him up and then embraced him tightly and gently. "What you did was cruel and very very insane but you're my brother Dagur... You did what you thought was best even though it wasn't such a good idea but you were able to admit it. So I forgive you brother." Dagur was indeed shock at the response since it was not what he was expecting but it didn't matter because he just let his tears fall on his sister's shoulders who gladly hugged him tighter as if to say that everything was alright.

Dagur's tears soon were about to dry as he smiled to know that his sister will still be by his side until he whispered. "I'm going to have to tell Hiccup about this to you know, he has the right to know."

Heather nodded as she released herself from the embrace. "It won't be easy Dagur but I got your back, remember that big brother." The two shared a smile that could have melted a billion frozen hearts since they never felt so much family bonds. They could feel themselves gain a little more trust with each other and that was a good step forward to moving on.

They could have remained in that happy moment but their moment was soon interrupted by the roars of panicking dragons and a frantic Berkian chief yelling Hiccup's name so without hesitation or regards to their instructions of staying outside, they both ran in the cave, shouting with worry, "What's going on?!"

The only that was responded back to them from Stoick was: "It's Hiccup, he stopped breathing!"

Now you can only imagine the petrified looks on the siblings faces when they heard this since they yelled, "WHAT!?" Dagur took no time to approach his brother, pressing his ear against the teen's chest only to hear weak heartbeats getting slower and slower to the point where it might stop! "Hiccup snap out of it, you can't die on us now! Not after we just got back together as a family!" He began pressing his hands against Hiccup's chest, making pulses to keep the boy's heart beating but it wasn't strong enough since Hiccup should no sign of breathing. "Come on Hiccup wake up and take the cure! You have to breathe brother, you have to breathe!"

"Let me try," Stoick demanded, pushing Dagur aside who was now shaking in fear along with Heather as the man himself began to press his hands on his son's chest trying to get the heart beating as he tried to get the teen to breathe. He put his mouth over his son's, trying his best to give him some air before trying to do more get his heart beating then back to putting air by mouth to mouth.

"Come on Hiccup, breathe!" Stoick whispered, "You're stronger than this, you gotta breathe son!" I'm not going to lose you! Not like my first son! Not ever! So breathe Hiccup! Just breathe! Please not just for their sake but for mine! His mind was racing back to the memory of the pain and sorrow felt when he lost his first son, but later discovering that he and Val could never have children of their own again. The memory of all that was too much for him to handle in the past, and he knew he would definitely lose it all if Hiccup dies right now!

"BREATHE HICCUP! WE'RE BEGGING YOU! JUST BREATHE!"

He still tried to get air into Hiccup's lungs and get the boy's heart beating which seemed hopeless until what seemed like forever, Hiccup finally coughed as he gulped in a lot of air but he still was coughing roughly and gagging.

But he was breathing, and that was all that mattered right now.

Heather, Dagur, and Stoick released a breath of relief that the boy was alright and breathing but Hiccup was still unconscious to even make a respond however he did stop coughing and was breathing. Stoick didn't hesitate to grab the bowl, lift Hiccup up and then force the teen to drink the cure since he was beginning to gag from the awful taste but the father made sure the boy swallowed as he whispered, "I know it tastes horrible, but you have to drink it Hiccup... You have to get better." At long last Hiccup drank every last drop of the cure but he remained unconscious but they can see some color returning to Hiccup's skin so the cure might be working. Stoick wiped the remaining sweat off of Hiccup's forehead until he heard a heavy fake cough coming from behind him.

He turned around to see Dagur the one who faked the cough but he was looking away as he stated with shock and what it seems like gratitude, "You...You just saved my brother, twice..."

End of that chapter guys
