Prompt: Well, seeing how much he loves Hiccup, and how soft and tender he can be around Valka, I'd really like to see Stoick's reaction to him and Valka having a daughter... Not fem!Hiccup, but as in a little sister to Hiccup. That would be awesome to see... :)
This is for Tangled4ever, who wanted more Stalka, and of course I love them…
So, I own nothing!
This is an AU where Valka was never taken :) And, because in my life, Stoick never died.
Sorry, this got a little out of hand...
Hiccup was six months old when Valka found out she was pregnant again. Gothi had told her it wasn't possible, Hiccup was too early, but here she is, a month pregnant.
Valka heard Hiccup crying and she opened her eyes and saw it was still dark out. Valka rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. Valka walked over to the cradle and picked up her baby "Morning love. You like to wake up Mommy early don't you?"
Hiccup giggled and reached out for his mommy. Valka started to rock him and hummed.
That's when the alarms went off. Stoick jumped out of bed "Dragon raid! You two stay here! Don't leave the house!" Stoick grabbed his axe and ran out of the house. Valka set Hiccup in his cradle and ran out of the house.
Valka ran up to a Viking and pulled on his arm "Stop! You'll only make it worse!" The Deadly Nadder flew away and the Viking glared at her. Valka turned her head and saw a dragon on her roof "Hiccup!"
Valka grabbed a sword and pointed it at the Stormcutter. Valka dropped her sword a little once she saw that he was playing with Hiccup. Valka put a hand on her stomach and took a step, making the floor board creek. The dragon turned away, accidently cutting Hiccup's chin. The dragon was taking slow steps towards her, and Valka lifted her sword again. The dragon was staring at her and Valka dropped her sword.
The moment was broken by an axe thrown between her and the dragon. Valka shook her head and heard Stoick yell "Valka run!" The dragon let fire out and Valka tugged at him
"No, don't!" Valka screamed
"Hold on!" Stoick screamed, diving into the fire to grab his only son.
Valka backed into a wall, the dragon closing in on her. "No…" she whispered
The dragon was about to grab her when it fell, axe sticking out of its head.
Valka finally fell to the ground with a sob. Stoick noticed she was clutching her stomach as she shook.
"Val…" He whispered, puffing and clutching Hiccup "Are you okay?"
Valka shook her head, sobbing. Stoick wasn't sure what to do, so he kneeled down and pulled her close to him "It's okay, I saved you… it's going to be okay now…"
Valka shook her head "No, no it's not…" Valka wiped her tears away "Stoick, I'm pregnant…"
Stoick started being way over protective when Valka hit nine months. Hiccup was one and three months and toddling around the house, and clearly had an interest in everything shinny.
Including Stoick's knifes.
"Stoick!" Cried Valka after she found Hiccup playing with a knife
"What!" Stoick ran into the house "What?! What's going on?"
"I just found Hiccup with your knife!" Valka yelled "Stoick, Hiccup is walking now! You can't keep knifes where he can reach them!"
Stoick shouldn't be afraid of her when she's nine months pregnant. She's pretty terrifying without being pregnant so…
"Sorry Val…" Stoick looked down "I'll put them somewhere else."
"Good. Now, let's go to the Great Hall for dinner, I don't want to cook."
Valka was trying to hold Hiccup, but being nine months pregnant, it wasn't working very well. Hiccup was babbling along, a mix between real words and made up words, and touching her tummy.
"Hiccup, are you excited? You get to be a big brother!" Smiled Val, waiting for Stoick to get back with her food.
Hiccup bobbed his head up and down. Valka laughed and kissed his forehead.
She felt someone sit down next to her and smiled at Helga Hofferson, holding her eleven month old daughter, Astrid. "Hello Valka, you sure are looking pregnant-er these days."
"Oh, I know, it's been a year since Hiccup, and I forgot how uncomfortable it is."
"Mama! Dada?" Hiccup asked
"Daddy is getting food for me, Love. He'll be back soon."
"Dada!" Cried Hiccup, getting off the bench to find his father
"Hiccup! Helga, excuse me for a second." Valka stood up and waddled after her son.
After a few steps, and pain shot through Valka and she stopped, gripping her stomach.
"Val?" Asked Gobber walking to her "Are you okay?"
Valka looked at her husband's best friend "Yes, thank you Gobber, can you get Hiccup. I think I need to sit. Let this pain pass..."
Gobber helped her sit down and went after Hiccup.
Stoick laughed at a joke Spitelout made, then heard the unmistakable scream of his wife.
Stoick jumped into action. He took off in the direction of the scream. He ran to Valka and kneeled in front of her "Val? What's wrong? Are you okay!?"
"I-I think I'm in labor... get me to Gothi..."
Stoick helped her stand up and looked around "Gobber! Watch Hiccup!" Stoick looked at Valka "Don't worry, it's going to be okay..."
No one has ever seen their chief like this. A nervous wreck, pacing around the healer's hut, mumbling to himself. Hiccup watched his father with rapt attention
"Dada? Where mama?"
"Mommy's not here right now."
"Why?"
"Because you're little brother or sister is coming."
"Why?"
"Because the baby was ready to come out mommy's tummy."
"Oh," Why were adults so confusing?
Stoick jumped as he heard an agonizing scream from his wife, and saw Gobber pull Hiccup closer to him, covering his ears.
The door opened and Stoick jumped up, Inga smiled at Stoick "Congregations Chief... it's a girl."
Stoick and Gobber shared a look "A girl..." Smiled Stoick
"Hi baby... I'm your mommy..." Smiled Valka
The door opened and Valka looked up, she saw her husband and tiny baby boy, who was almost disappearing in Stoick's large beard, in his arms.
"Hello." Smiled Valka, Stoick's eyes darted to the bundle in her arms "Stoick, meet your daughter..."
Stoick took oh-so cautious steps towards the two "Don't be scared. It's alright dear." Stoick set Hiccup down on the bed and Hiccup looked at the baby "Baby?"
"That's right Hiccup. It's a baby. It's your little sister."
"C-can I hold her?" Stoick stuttered and Valka smiled
"Of course, she's yours to." Valka set the baby in his arms
Stoick looked down and saw crystal green eyes and fiery, frizzy red hair like his. Stoick let out a laugh that almost sound like a sob
"I have a daughter..."
"As Chief of the Hooligan Tribe, I welcome..." Stoick stopped and let Valka whisper into his ear "Brenda Haddock into the Hooligan Tribe." Everyone clapped and Hiccup crossed his arms. Stoick picked up Hiccup.
"What's wrong Son?"
"Benduh…" Hiccup pouted
"What's wrong with Brenda?" Stoick asked
Hiccup started to babble in his baby talk and Stoick looked at Valka, who was talking with Gobber.
"Er, Dear…" Stoick cleared his throat and Valka looked at him, an eyebrow raised "Can you deal with Hiccup… I'll take Brenda." Stoick took Brenda from his wife and Valka rolled her eyes, but kneeled down in front of her son
"Hiccup, love, what's wrong?"
"Mama love Benduh mowa." Hiccup crossed his arms and looked away
Valka laughed "Is that what you're worrying about? Of course I don't love Brenda more than you. I love you two equally."
Hiccup looked at his mom, still pouting "Weally?"
Valka kissed his forehead and picked him up "Really, you are my favorite son."
This seemed to please Hiccup and he wrapped his arms around Valka's neck tightly "Love, I think it's time for your nap."
Hiccup nodded, snuggling closer to Valka. Stoick walked up to Valka and wrapped his arm around her shoulders "Really to go Val?"
Valka nodded and they walked out of the Great Hall.
When Brenda was fourteen, her brother trained a Night Fury. And she didn't take it too well, being her father's daughter and all.
For as long as she can remember, Hiccup was just like their mother, and she was just like their father, and they were okay with that.
"It doesn't have to be this way," Hiccup stated, sticking out his hand
Bren raised an eyebrow and looked at her father. He was fuming mad as he raised his hammer.
"I SAID STOP THE FIGHT!" Stoick slammed his hammer on the metal bars, and all hel broke lose…
"If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd defiantly go with the Gronkle." Fishlegs stated beside Bren, crossing his arms.
Tuffnut walked up to Hiccup "You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon…" Hiccup stared at him "That's me." Snotlout pushed Tuff away
"I love this plan!" Yelled their cousin Snotlout
"I didn't…" started Hiccup, but Snotlout was pushed away by Ruffnut
"You're crazy… I like that…" Ruffnut purred, getting a little too close for comfort. Bren pushed the girl away and crossed her arms at her older brother
"You were always different. I guess that's what makes you… you." Bren smiled and held out her fist. Hiccup bumped his fist against hers "Love you bro…" Astrid pushed Bren away and crossed her arms "So… what is the plan?"
Hiccup smiled at everyone.
To say Stoick was shocked when the group of teens showed up on dragons, including his daughter, is an understatement.
"Every bit the boar head, stubborn Viking you ever where." Stated Gobber from behind him, making Stoick nod. Valka, who never wanted to come on this riffraff, shifted her weight, nervous that her kids are trying to take on this dragon.
Bren tightened her grip on Fishlegs, the one who she's the closest to "I'm rethinking my life choices!"
"You'll be fine!"
Bren shrugged "You only live once right!"
Fishlegs chuckled nervously.
She hated her brother more than anything once Fishlegs started to crash.
"I'm okay!" He called, then the Gronkle flipped over, crushing both "Less okay…"
"Your butt is crushing me!" Bren cried, pushing up.
Fishlegs rolled off of her and Bren stood up, brushing herself off. She fixed her bun and calmly walked over to the over Vikings, while Fishlegs just laid in shock.
"What were you thinking Brenda Haddock?!" Yelled her mother, checking her over for injures.
"I was helping Hiccup! Siblings sticking together, you should be proud." Stated Bren
"Not when you two are stupid and put your lives at risk… oh my, you're elbow's bleeding pretty badly."
"It's an occupational hazard…" smirked Bren
"Atta girl." Smiled her father, wrapping an arm around her "Though, if I ever catch you fighting a dragon ten times your size again, you're grounded for life."
After her brother tried to kill himself by falling into a fiery pit of doom, and everyone got back to Berk, her father was overly protective…
More than usual. She gets that she's chief's daughter, his only daughter. And his son just risked his life to prove a point, but this is ridiculous.
Bren's legs were swing off the edge of Raven Point.
"Sweetheart?" she heard her father's voice and Bren kept looking forward "Sweetheart, I know you're upset with me. And I know I'm the greatest with words but… I just don't want anything to happen to you. And the thing with your brother…" Her father sat next down to her "I don't want to lose both of you…"
Bren looked at her father "You're not losing both of us. Hiccup is alive and well."
"But for those moments when… when I thought…"
"I know Daddy… I know…"
Soon, Bren Haddock grew into a beautiful, but spunky, nineteen year old, with frizzy red hair like her fathers, and beautiful green eyes.
Bren smiled as she helped her father sit down
"Brenda, you do not need to help me sit. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself."
"Daddy, you were just shot at by a Night Fury, I think you do need help."
Stoick scoffed "Why don't you go help your brother."
"Hiccup doesn't want my help. He said he can do it all on his own."
"Being a chief is never something you can do on your own. You're mother always helped me, even if I didn't want her to."
"Then have Astrid help him… she is your 'future daughter-in-law' and all." Bren smirked
Stoick laughed "Just go be a teenager."
Bren patted his arm "I'll go get Gobber."
"I don't need a babysitter! I'm a grown man! I'm fifty for the gods sake!"
Bren rolled her eyes and started to walk to the doors of the Great Hall, when Eret, son of Eret bumped into her.
"Whoa, careful there Brenda…" he smiled, holding her steady
"Sorry Eret… and I told you, you can call me Bren."
"Okay Bren. Be careful and try not to run into anything."
"That would be my brother, but thanks anyway…" Bren patted his buff arm and walked away.
It had been three months since the battle that almost took her father's life, and since her father retired and made Hiccup chief.
And in those three months, Stoick noticed his baby and that ex-dragon trapper grow closer and closer.
And he didn't like it… not one bit.
"I don't like it." Stoick told his wife as they watched Bren and Eret talk in the Great Hall.
"Oh Stoick, they're just friends."
"This is how Hiccup and Astrid started! Now they're getting married!"
Valka rolled her eyes "Look, dear, Bren is nineteen. She's going to be twenty in three weeks. Maybe it's time to… let her grow up."
"Nonsense! She's just a little girl. Not ready for boys. She'll never be ready for boys! Until I'm dead… then wait five days just to make sure…"
Valka groaned "You think watching my baby boy grow up was easy? Stoick, just let her go."
Stoick looked back at his baby girl and crossed his arms "You never said I had to like it."
A year later, Stoick found himself standing outside the Great Hall with Bren, who was wearing her nicest dress.
"I'm going to hold your hand down the aisle, instead hooking our arms. I just… I'm a little nervous."
"You'll be okay baby." Stoick kissed her forehead "I love you Sweetheart. Don't forget that."
"I won't daddy…" The doors opened and the two took the first step towards her new life…
