Full Summary: "Take deep breaths, deep breath. Come on, push!" "Hiccup, you're not help, nor are you moving the tree." Oh, Hiccup, you can be so clueless during operations and deliveries. I wonder how this will end? [Hiccstrid] [Ye be Warned: Contains lots of feels, lots of fluff.]

"Take deep breaths, deep breaths. Come on, push!" Hiccup encouraged. Astrid glared at her husband as she watched from the ground. He was at the academy again. Her husband and the other teachers were trying to move a fallen tree out of the arena.

Last night they had a horrible storm. One of Berk's worst. Of course there'll be damage, so when they woke up this morning to find the arena damaged, they weren't surprised. Instead, Hiccup rounded up Snotlout, Tuffnut and Ruffnut to move the tall tree. Fishlegs was currently watching the real trainees in the Mead Hall. He had the harder job- as it seems- but he didn't seem to mind. He actually seemed to enjoy the children.

"Do ya know how heavy this is?" Ruffnut complained. They were trying to push the tree up and have it fall back into the forest beyond, but the tree wouldn't budge.

"I'm trying aren't I?" Hiccup replied. He was breathing heavily as he pushed against the tree. All the riders were standing on their dragons, besides Hiccup, pushing and shoving. It was quite dangerous considering they could slip and fall. But they're Vikings, it's an occupational hazard.

"I give up. Why can't we have the dragons blast it to bits?" Snotlout groaned.

"I already told you, it'll just start a fire! Now push. Come on, I thought ya were Vikings!" The adults reluctantly complied and pushed. The tree slightly nudged.

"Wow, that's a full morning's work. And that's all we did? We're losing our edge." Tuffnut huffed. Barf and Belch nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I mean, we should've been done by now." Ruffnut added. Every nodded their head in agreement. Hiccup rolled his eyes and sighed deeply. He sure is stress by now.

"Hiccup! Maybe you try cutting it up into section and cut it even more for firewood. It'll be more useful and conservative otherwise." Astrid yelled from below.

"Wow, Hiccup, she sure made you stupid." Snotlout snickered. Hiccup gladly ignored his comment and flew down to his wife. He hopped of Toothless and stood in front of his wife.

"You think I would've done that before-hand?"

"No, not really. You've been distracted lately." Astrid admitted while absent-mindedly rubbing her now large stomach. The bump was certainly noticed now considering that the baby is due soon. Astrid is not looking forward to the pain, that's for sure. And Hiccup is not looking forward to it either. He knows he'll just faint.

"Well, you know." Hiccup said awkwardly. He rubbed his head and whispered, "The baby is due any day and I'm freaking out." Astrid promptly whacked his shoulder.

"Stop being such a wuss and man up-Viking up! The village needs you right now before winter sets in, and we still have to get more supplies before it gets too cold. The village and I have been giving you some grace because of the baby and all, but this isn't your first time doing this. We need you right now, Hiccup." Astrid ranted. she was tired of her husband using "the baby" excuse. She didn't; why should he?

"You're right."

"Of course I am. So cut up the tree and get moving! You already wasted a morning and ya only got so many hours left before the sun sets." Hiccup nodded and jumped back on Toothless. The dragon made a groaning sound. He didn't like the tree that much anymore.

"Come on, Bud. Let's get this show on the road."

Astrid didn't see her husband and the others until late that night at the Mead Hall. When they came in, they were covered in dirt, scratches, and were exhausted. They were clearly not happy with their chief right now.

"If I ever agree to help Hiccup again with a 'small' problem, please punch me and remind not to. I'm hurt, very hurt!" Tuffnut said with a grudged voice.

"I will gladly do so insignificant brother. He didn't even lift a nail when it came to the cutting part. The only thing he did was be annoying and obnoxious. I wonder where he got that from?" Ruffnut teased. She snickered when Tuffnut glared at her and mumbled some colorful words.

"So, did ya get it done?" Fishlegs asked. By looking at his tired, grumpy friends, he's glad he was asked to help the kids.

"Yeah, barely. Hiccup! Why couldn't you listen to Astrid sooner!" Snotlout sneered. Hiccup just rolled his eyes and trudged past him.

"Whose idea was it to push the tree over, Mr. Viking Brawn?" Hiccup asked. Snotlout blushed red and the twins chuckled at their friend's embarrassment. Astrid just whacked the both of them.

"Hey! You're only supposed to do that to your husband." Snotlout whinned as he gingerly held his now red shoulder. Astrid promptly whacked him again.

"Oh stop being a wimp! Both of ya knock it off." Astrid scolded. Snotlout turned his back on the couple and faced the twins who were still laughing at him. Which cause the three of them to get into a bickering war. Fishlegs just ignored the whole table and continued to read on with his book. Astrid looked at her husband. Hiccup stared back.

"Are they really having another staring contest?" Ruffnut asked. Everyone groaned and walked away from the couple, knowing where this was headed.

"Wow, I didn't know we could draw a crowd." Hiccup said sarcastically. Astrid went in for another smack of the shoulder, but Hiccup surprisingly caught her wrist. Astrid raised an eyebrow.

"Since when could you do that?"

"Um, uh, now I guess?" Hiccup answered while shrugging his shoulders.

"Listen, Hiccup, what's gotten into your head recently. Don't give me any of the 'baby' excuses, and man up." Hiccup sighed. he hated it when Astrid did this to him.

"Well, then I can;t really say anything then."

"Huh, you're really scared about our baby, aren't you?"

"What gave that away?" Astrid rolled her eyes, "I'm serious though Astrid! I'm freaking out about the little, thing, inside of you. What if you get hurt? What if she gets hurt? What if you both-"

"Hiccup! That's your problem. You need to stop worrying about the 'what if's'. You're not facing this alone, you know? I'll be facing it the same way as you. We can do this together, alright?" Hiccup closed his eyes and nodded. Astrid continued, "Besides, you mean if 'he' gets hurt?"

"Fine, whatever." Hiccup turned back to eating his food. Astrid just sat there, staring at her husband. How on earth, did she end up with a guy like him? He's too good for her sometimes. They continued their blissful silence. Then the gods grew bored with the peacefulness and decided to intervene.

"ARRRGH!" All heads turned to the couple's table. Astrid currently clutching her stomach and shut her eyes tightly. Another scream was heard. Hiccup faced his wife with wide eyes of concern, and, yes, fear.

"The...the baby. It's...coming." Astrid breathed. Another yelp of pain was heard and soon everyone was surrounded the couple. Hiccup was frozen, then he went into auto-pilot. He carefully picked up his wife and ran through the crowd, with Toothless close behind. He soon mounted the dragon, clutching unto his wife, and they flew to the Elder's house.

It was a long, tiring, and loud night. Then a wail was heard.

Hey guys! Sorry if it's been forever. I know you'll hate me after this, so please, no axes or torches. And don't aim for the face!

So, this is the fourth installment of my one-shot serious. There should be at least 3-5 more after this one. So stay tuned!

Oh, and I decided to place all of the one-shots in one place. Much easier to handle and read. :)
