I swear there is nothing more sickening than watching you daughter coughing and choking then disappearing under the water. I don't ever want to experience that again.

When I came back from changing, I saw Unn in dry clothes on her bed still shaking. I walked over to her and sat down next to her.

"What's wrong sweet stuff?" I asked her rubbing her pink cheeks with my finger.

"I don't know." She replied. "I can't shake this feeling off." I felt her forehead and found no fever. She was still in shock. It was going to be a while till she felt normal.

"Do you want something to eat?" I asked. I know she hadn't eaten since lunch the day before.

"No." she shook. "I am not hungry." I pulled her back into my lap.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. She burst into tears again. Oh how I hate it when my girls cry. Astrid and Unn.

"I was out," she started. She found another secret place. "And it started to hail. At the time it was safest to stay put then it started to flood." She buried herself into my chest. "So I thought it would be safest to swim home through the river. It would shelter us from the hail. Then I lost my strength. I called for Frostbite... Wait where is Frostbite?!" She said alarmed. I pointed toward Toothless who had a sleeping Frostbite under his wing.

"She is fine." I said. "She is just tired. Please continue."

"Frostbite couldn't see me." Unn picked up. "I started going under and the river tossed me around for what seemed like forever. Then you grabbed me." she shuttered. "I was so scared Daddy. I thought I was going to die."

"Now do you know why I want to know where you are?" I asked. "If something bad happens I need to know where you are so I can find you and take you to where it is safe." She was quiet a little bit.

"But I don't want anyone to find my secret place." she replied. "I don't want to be bothered when I am there."

"I realize, but I need to know where you are so you are safe." I said holding close. "If I know, things like what happened today won't happen." She still said nothing and continued to whimper. "How about this," I started up again. "Your secret place can be our secret place. I won't say a word about where it is."

"Not even to Momma?" she asked looking up to me.

"Not even to Momma." I replied. She thought a minute then looked back up at me.

"There are two." she said.

"Two?" I replied. She nodded.

"One for when I am grounded and the other when I can fly." she replied.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"There is a cavern in the third sea stack from the haunted cabbage field. That is the first one." she said. The haunted cabbage field is Mildew's old place. "The second one is a camouflage shelter I built in the woods next to the haunted cabbage field."

"Why do you like that place so much?" I asked.

"So much mystery Daddy!" she said as her face lit up.

"I've told you that is Mildew's old place. It's not haunted." I replied.

"Oh daddy that takes all the fun out of it." she whined. "If it's haunted there is more of a thrill!"

"But sweet stuff, it isn't haunted." I said. "You need to stop thinking so." Unn sighed and her eyes lost their glow. "Unn, I just want you to be honest. Even if it is something that you know isn't real, it can cause a lot of trouble."

"But Daddy..." Unn started.

"No buts." I replied. She sighed again.

"Yes Daddy." Unn said. I gave her and hug then a kiss.

"Are you hungry now?" I asked.

"Not really." She replied. I knew she was hungry, I could see it. I knew how to get her to eat.

"You want some fresh churned yak butter on warm bread?" I asked. Unn was quiet a minute then nodded.

"Yes please." She whispered. I kissed her on the head and went to get the bread and butter. When I got back, I saw Astrid trying to brush out Unn's wild hair. Unn saw me and her eyes were asking me to get Astrid to stop. I just smiled and handed her the slice of bread. Unn nibbled at it as Astrid braided her hair. I sat down next to Astrid as she tied it off and wrapped my arms around her.

"Braiding again I see." I said. Astrid sighed.

"If she kept her hair in her braid we wouldn't have to constantly re-braid it." Astrid said.

"It gives me a headache." Unn said. I just smiled. I have the perfect family. I have a beautiful and amazing wife and two wonderful children. Even if Unn is a handful. I distracted Astrid and winked at Unn. Unn quickly untied her hair and let it down. I like her hair down anyways. Astrid turned and sighed.

"Unn I just braided your hair." she said. Unn then gave her the baby dragon eyes and Astrid gave in. "Fine, Hiccup we need to talk." She said taking me by the arm.

After she pulled me to a secluded spot, she punched me in the shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?" I asked. I also leaned in for a kiss, but Astrid wasn't going to. Her face was worried. "Astrid what's wrong?"

"Hiccup, I think..." she started. Astrid paused and bit her lip.

"You know you can tell me anything." I said. Astrid took a deep breath.

"I missed." she whispered. I thought a minute. As smart as I am, I am still pretty dense.

"Missed what?" I asked. She looked up and shifted her body weight to her left foot.

"Hiccup I think... I am pregnant again." Astrid said.

"Again?!" I didn't know if should be happy or surprised. I wanted a lot of kids, but Astrid only wanted two. So we had been trying to be careful. Apparently not careful enough.

"Once again I think I am. I am not sure." Astird said. "I may have counted wrong."

"What makes you think you are not?" I asked. Astrid wrapped her arms around herself.

"It just doesn't feel the same as the other two pregnancies." she said. I ran my fingers through my hair. I secretly was wishing she was. I wanted another kid.

"Well we will just have to wait and see." I said finally. "Until then no flying!" Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I know the drill." she said. "Just so you know, since you have been so busy lately." I sighed she was right. I have been very busy lately. I have barely spent any quality time with Unn or my own wife.

"Yeah I am working on that." I said. I need to make more time for my family. I mean I always see Hackett, but I rarely see Astrid and I see Unn even less. I knew I needed to fix that.
