Girl Stuff

Prompt: Can we have one chapter with Valka and Astrid just gossiping about their man (No competition, just Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bonding) or have Valka and/or Stoick embarrass Hiccup in front of Astrid (Newly dating of course) with baby pictures.

I'm going to assume you meant modern, and you know me so well... Hiccstrid and Stalka in one, fluff filled chapter, I'm going to die of excitement. I love me some Stalka...

I'm going to do both those prompts. But different chapters. Then I have one other one that I wrote! Please, don't be afraid to post a Prompt! I own nothing

Really, when Astrid got married, she never assumed that she was going to host a Christmas party. She just thought that Val and Stoick would keep doing the traditional Haddock Christmas Eve party.

But three days before Christmas Eve, Val called and asked if she wanted to host it.

And being the idiot she is, she told them 'sure, what the hell!'.

Now, she regretting it with every fiber of her being.

"You can calm down." Her husband, Hiccup, said

"You shush. Does this look done to you?" Astrid pushed a too large turkey in his face

"Uh, I don't know."

"If you're not going to help, then get the hell out of my kitchen."

"Fine, honestly, I was going to grab a beer, and watch the news."

Astrid gave him a look "Since when have you watched the news? Or drink beer?"

"Since I became a husband. That's what my dad did when I was growing up."

"That really shouldn't explain so much, but it does..."

Later that night, Astrid was finishing the final touches on her perfect meal, when Val walked in the kitchen.

"Hello Astrid."

Astrid smiled at her mother-in-law "Hey Val," Astrid wiped her forehead, and left a flour mark

"Honey, you have something- here let me." Val picked up a towel and wiped Astrid's forehead.

"Thanks." Smiled Astrid and Val sat at the kitchen counter. "Want something to drink? We have wine, uh-"

"Wine would be lovely thank you." Smiled Valka "So how had Hiccup been treating you?"

Astrid smiled and set a glass of wine down "The usual."

"Oh honey, you two are just newlyweds. He'll get past it. Stoick was just the same. My, when Stoick and I first got married, no guy could look at me, or else they got Stoick's wrath."

"I thought it was just Hiccup!" Laughed Astrid

"Maybe it's just Haddock men." Stated Val

"I think it's all that stubbornness. They think they have to be all macho all the time."

"When Stoick and I first started dating, I was good friends with a guy named Mark, and he made the mistake of telling me that he thought he loved me, when Stoick was around. Mark didn't know we were dating." Laughed Val

"That reminds me of a time we were at a store, and my friend from college was there. He went in for a hug, and what he got was a punch from Hiccup. Hiccup ended up breaking his thumb."

"That's how he broke it?" Asked Val, and made a fist "He broke his thumb punching a guy?" Val looked at her fist. "He put his thumb inside of his fist didn't he?" Astrid smiled and laughed. "Now I wish I had let Stoick teach him how to throw a punch." Val laughed

They heard three feet, and one metal clicking, steps walking up to the kitchen door way. Hiccup walked into the kitchen first, followed by his father. Hiccup wrapped his arms around Astrid's waist. His father walked to Val, and Valka leaned against Stoick's vast chest.

"What are you two lovely ladies talking about?" Asked Hiccup, kissing the top of Astrid's head

"Just-" Astrid and Val looked each other, and they smiled at each other "Girl stuff."
