Full Summary: "Hiccup! I'm gonna murder you if you don't come back in here!" Brilliant, yet nerve-wracking news come into the Haddock household. I wonder how Hiccup will take it? [Hiccstrid] [Ye be warned: Contains lots of feels, lots of fluff]

"Hiccup! I'm gonna murder you if you don't come back in here!" Astrid yelled furiously. She was currently scavenging throughout the new newlywed's house. Well, it wasn't entirely new. It was actually Hiccup's home, the Chief's house. He and his mother have been living their ever since the battle where Stoick took his last breath. Astrid had recently moved in with them after they married three months ago.

In a word, the couple have been busy. Very busy.

Astrid heard her husband's footsteps and the clinking of metal on the worn wooden floors. She rolls her eyes and placed her hands on hips as he appeared in the bedroom's doorway. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat and his face and hands were red. He obviously just came from the Forge.

"I really don't see the need I use such a threat. I mean, I'm your husband for Thor's sake! I'm the damn Chief of Berk!" Hiccup whined. He glared at half-heartedly to his new wife and quickly walked to her. She was by the window over-looking the lively village. Hiccup placed a quick peck on her cheek, trying to rid of her annoyance of him. It worked thankfully. But, Astrid wouldn't forget about his tardiness, so she punched him on the shoulder. Hiccup groaned.

"You didn't have to do that." He complained, rubbing his already bruised shoulder. Astrid just smiled at him and laughed at his childlike antics.

"That's for being late, Chief." Hiccup sighed and knew what was coming. Astrid quickly kissed his nose. Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"Let me guess, that's for everything else." He said dryly. Astrid nodded and a small smile played on her lips. Hiccup smiled back. He always loved making Astrid smile. It's a tough thing to do unless it came to him and Stormfly.

"So, you called M'lady?" Hiccup asked. He wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and rested his head on her shoulder. He perched there watching the mingling Vikings walk about their daily lives.

"Um, yeah. I, I have a question for ya." Astrid started. She was nervous. She had just discovered the news this morning and she had no idea how to break it to her husband. It's unpredictable on how he handles surprising matters, especially matters as big as this.

"Ask away. Just try to hurry because I'm needed at a meeting at Mead Hall soon." Hiccup replied. Astrid inhaled a large breath and went for it.

"What do you think of having a new person in our house?" Silence.

"Um, you want someone to move in here with us?" Hiccup asked curiously. He had never heard his wife say something as vague as that before. She was normally clear and went to the point.

"Well, in a way, yes. But they would already be living here before they actually came." Astrid said. She looked at her husband's expression. Blankness. That's not good.

"How would that be possible? I'm mean, they wouldn't be here without actually moving here. What are you getting at?" Astrid sighed in annoyance. Her husband can be so clueless sometimes. She turned and placed his hand in her stomach and raised an eyebrow. He looked weirdly at her. Astrid huffed indignantly.

"What if we were the ones that brought him or her into the world?" Hiccup eyes widen and realization struck him like a brick. His mouth hung wide open, gaping at his wife.

"Y-you, mean..."

"Yes. I'm pregnant." Hiccup froze. He clutched unto his wife for support and hobbled to the bed. He sat down and he looked at his hands blankly.

"H-how long?"

"About a month along. I found out this morning. I've been sick in he mornings these last weeks so I went to Elder Gothi. She had me drink this tea and, that's that." Astrid said. She sat with her husband. He still hasn't shown any sign of emotion. Astrid started to worry and frown. "How do you feel about this? Are, are you okay with, this."

"I, I don't know. I'm just, shocked. I thought it would be, well, longer. I didn't know it'll happen that fast." Hiccup admitted he rubbed his neck and looked up at Astrid. She had her eyes closed. She was thinking.

"Are, are you happy that I'm pregnant?" She asked softly. She brought her knees to her chest and hugged her knees. Hiccup sighed.

"I am. Trust me Astrid I'm ecstatic about it."

"Then what is it?"

"I'm, I'm afraid I'll shut it out like my dad did with me. I, I want our child to know that I'm proud of him, but I'm afraid I'll push him away. I want, I want to be the best dad that he, or she, deserves." Hiccup said thoughtfully. It had always been a fear for him to be the worst parent. He knows how it feels to feel neglected, ignored. He doesn't want his kid to feel like he's disappointed in him. He wants his child, or children, to feel loved and that they're proud of them.

"Oh, Hiccup. You'll be a great father. I just know it. You're so kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. You care so much about the dragons, your mom, the village, everyone. I know our rascal will adore you. I have faith in you."

"You mean our little girl." Hiccup said. He chuckled lightly when Astrid shoved him playfully. "Thanks, Astrid. I'm lost without you."

"No shit! Me and Toothless are the only ones keeping you from wondering off to some new unexplored land. And no, it's a boy. I can feel it."

"I'm not that needy am I? No, I always wanted a girl, so it'll be a girl."

"Who put you in charge Mr. Needy?"

"Um, the Elder?" Hiccup and Astrid laughed at their bantering. Hiccup wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her congratulations. She was now carrying their child. Astrid smiled into the kiss. When they broke apart, they had a daunting question. Over their heads.

"What are we going to tell the mothers? When for that matter?" Hiccup asked nervously. He was really terrified of Astrid's mother. She was a strong, proud shield-maiden who could easily kick Hiccup's arse. "Odin's beard, your father!" Now that's a man who can easily beat ya into a pulp.

"Hmm, how about at the Mead Hall? Before dinner?" Astrid supplied. Hiccup nodded and tried to calm his breathing. It finally dawned on him, he was going to suffer through eight more months if agonizing misery. Thor help him!

All was well in Berk. Well, almost. Sadly, our fellow hero was undergoing a panic attack.
