"YOU WHAT?!" Birds flew towards every direction in panic at the sudden yell.
"I'm pregnant" Astrid answers cheerfully.
"Y-You're pregnant?" Hiccup pointed at her belly while his eye was looking up and down her body.
"Oh, Hiccup. You are sooo slow" She rolled her eyes and added a giggle.
"Well, that explains a lot. I mean, about the usual morning sickness and the timely mood swings" Hiccup scratched the back of his neck.
"Aren't you happy Hiccup?" She feigned hurt and looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"O-Of course I'm happy Astrid. Y-You just caught me off guard just now" He waved his hand reassuringly and grabbed her shoulders. She chuckled at her husband's antics and usual rambling.
"The elder said that it's just been a couple of weeks, so the morning sickness will still be around for a pretty long time" She patted her belly.
"Don't worry. Leave it all to me" Hiccup grinned confidently while shaking her shoulders. But he sure regretted it on the next morning.
Bleughhh… "H-Hiccup. Hurry and empty the bucket. Or else my vomit will be all over the floor" She said. Hiccup had been doing the same thing repeatedly. He ran from his bedroom, emptied the bucket of its nasty contents, running back to the room, and headed out again. She clutched her stomach while looking dizzy from the wave of nausea. The smell of a fresh cod Toothless had just been eating didn't help either. Her body felt so sick. She leaned again the headrest and eyed the bucket.
"Here you go. Now you can empty your whole intestine without a worry" He grinned. She put her hand to her mouth and quickly moved over to the bucket.
"Not helping HICCUP!" She hissed while still holding her stomach.
"Is this one of your mood swing stages, or is it just you?" He cocked his eyebrow and she glared dangerously at him.
"IT'S ME!" She yelled angrily and he flinched. "Stop staring at me. Do something!" She added exasperatedly.
"Oookay… What do you want me to do? Read you a story? Or rub your belly? Oh, maybe I can make you a soup" His eyes lighted in excitement while she threw up all her dinner.
"Change my mind. You can't help at all! Just empty the bucket when it's full" She waved her hand at him dismissively.
"Got it!" He grinned and sat beside her.
"Oh gods. How long can I put up with this?" She groaned and smacked her forehead.
Next day.
"Astrid, watch out!" Hiccup embraced Astrid while Toothless growled at… Nothing.
"Hiccup! What in the world are you doing?!" She pushed him apart and he looked around cautiously.
"I was protecting you" He said calmly as he didn't see any more threats.
"You're being RIDICULOUS" She yelled while he looked at her confused.
"No I'm not. I'm doing what you asked for, and I think I'm doing a good job" He smiled beamingly and Astrid clenched her teeth.
"YOU PROTECTED ME FROM A DUST FLOATING IN MIDAIR!" She glared at him but he still has the smug all over his face.
"It still considered as a threat" He crossed his arms in front of his chest and began inspecting her body. She snorted.
"What do you think it could do? Suffocate me to death?" She raised her eyebrows and he cupped his chin.
"You know, that might be a possibility. Wow, I never thought a tiny dust could be as dangerous as that" Her ears fumed in annoyance. She grabbed his face and turned it to her.
"Of course not… BECAUSE IT COULDN'T!" She said the first part menacingly sweet and snapped at the second.
"Oh gods… Another eight months with this? Freya had gone mad" She held her head while shaking it and muttering incomprehensible words.
A few weeks later.
"Stormfly! Down girl!" She yelled angrily towards the Deadly Nadder. She was apparently chasing a rat who got too close to Astrid much to her liking. "STORMFLY!" She shouted while the dragon ran outside the house, reluctant to give up on the little creature.
Bang.
Crash.
Roaarrr!
Squeak!
Boom.
Crack.
Astrid gritted her teeth and winced at every sound coming from downstairs as Stormfly chased the rat back into the house. Her hands positioned on her head, pushing deeper on her scalp on each banging or crashing. She wanted to calm them down but her pregnancy is getting to her. Astrid's belly was not the same anymore. It was huge. Astrid looked around for any signs of her husband but he's not anywhere.
"Astrid! I'm hooome!" Hiccup greeted without noticing the blue dragon running around with a poor creature ahead of her.
"WHERE WERE YOU?!" Astrid asked indignantly.
"I brought you a yak!" He exclaimed enthusiastically while Toothless dropped a whole yak beside him. All limbs intact.
"Yak? Why in the world would I want a yak in our house?!" She looked at him flabbergasted.
"You said earlier that you wanted a yak" He raised his eyebrow and hers was twitching.
"I said I wanted a yak milk you muttonhead!" She grabbed the front of his leather armor and shook him without mercy.
"Oooohhh… That makes… Sense" He looked back at the yak and smiled sheepishly at Astrid.
"Well, at least you can still enjoy the milk" He said cheerfully and walked towards the furry animal. He crouched and milked it. The yak's eyes shot widely and ran away while throwing the surprised Hiccup backwards. It crashed into Stormfly who had calmed and returned upstairs. She got angry and chased the yak herself. Toothless noticed and began chasing them as well to pull them apart. Astrid watched the whole disaster taking place in front of her while her husband was knocked out cold from the yak's kick.
"I-It's a male..." Hiccup managed to say before returning to unconsciousness.
She immediately fell onto her pillow and covered her face with her hands.
"I'm going insane!" Her yell muffled with her palms.
After nine months.
"It's a girl!" Gobber announced as the village erupted with cheers. The healers had successfully delivered Hiccup and Astrid's baby. Gobber returned the baby to Astrid and went back to handling the crowds.
"And we shall name it…" Gobber said before Astrid snapped in rage.
"Don't finish it Gobber. Or I'll swear you'll only have one limb left after that" Astrid hissed with no hint of joking. Gobber gulped as the rest of the village laughed.
"Close one. We don't want our new daughter to be a Magnus" Hiccup gave a crooked smile at her and she glared at him.
"You better take this parenting seriously. Or I can guarantee your prosthetic will be stuck at your throat" She threatened with no means of laughter. He put up his hands defensively and sweat beginning to roll down from his forehead.
"I-I promise Astrid. You'll have my word. I already have enough assurance when you swore to kill me while pushing the baby out" He smiled sheepishly and she dropped the menacing look. She caressed the baby's cheek and smiled too. She sighed softly and leaned against him.
"I-I'm sorry for the troubles I put you through during the last nine months" He said slowly while caressing his beautiful wife's hair. He looked straight at her eyes with an apologetic look.
"It's okay Hiccup. I'm sorry too, for almost breaking your wrist and blasted your eardrums deaf when the baby was going out" Hiccup grimaced and managed to grin and gave a few lighthearted chuckles.
"I love you Hiccup" She snuggled to him and made sure that the baby is safe and sound.
"I love you too Astrid" He leaned down and kissed her lips. The taste of strawberry fluttered in his mouth. They parted and looked at each other with a smile before looking at their daughter.
Whatever they had gone through this last nine months. It was worth it for the child in her arms.
A/N: This is it guys... It's my last time posting *sobs* Until next weekend that is *grins* But still, it felt uncomfortable for me to leave all of you in the weekdays. I hope you won't forget me.
