Hey guys! So, I found out that on August 22, (Sorry ShadowSpirit020, I meant the 22. Just figgured that out.) I start school! *crickets* I said, school! *Crowd goes boo* I know, I know, but I'll still do Fanfiction. Just not as much as I do now because of homemwork. Boo homework!
But enough about that! Enjoy! WAIT! almost forgot: I take it back when I said Hiccup and Snotlout are cousins. You'll see why. Enjoy! And please leave names for Alaina's girl, boy, or twins! It's entirely up to you guys!
"Where you guys heading?" We were flying away from Berk, and of course Fishlegs and Snotlout had to come along.
"Out for a fly." I answered.
"Good. We're coming with you." Snotlout said.
"Okay." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I was starting to feel for the buff viking. (Feel free to start gagging.)
After a few hours of flying I started to get tired and could barely keep my eyes open. Hiccup offered to go back, but I refused to ruin for everyone else.
"Really, it's no problem." He kept saying.
"Hiccup, I'm fine. It's just the baby." My eyes drooped again, but I wouldn't go to sleep.
"Baby?! You mean you're pregnant!?" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Yeah. I am." I answered.
"Okay that's it. We're going back whether you like it or not." Hiccup turned Toothless around and so did the others with their dragons.
I sighed and turned Shadow around.
"Hiccup, I'll go back and you guys can keep going. I know you've been wanting to see this island for a while." I called.
"No. It's fine, Alaina. We can do it tomorrow. It's obvious you're really tired. You can barely keep you're eyes open." He called back.
No later than when he said those words, that I fell asleep and couldn't stay awake anymore. I free fell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Hiccup's pov~~~~~~~~~~~
"I got her!" Snotlout yelled. He dove, and just made it to her before she hit the water.
But something was different. It almost seemed like… no. That's impossible.
He came back up with Alaina in his arms. Despite my thought, Astrid put it into words.
"Okay, I have to know. Snotlout, do you actually like Alaina?"
"Well… okay fine. Yes. I do care for her. Now can we just get her home?" And he sped off.
I looked at Astrid. "That was unexpected." I said.
"No kidding." Fishlegs said, and we followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Alaina's pov~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up the next day. I was far beyond surprised at how much I slept! I mean, I don't think the pregnancy has anything to do with it. Even Astrid didn't sleep this long!
I pulled of the covers off and headed downstairs. When I got near the bottom, I heard voices. I stopped.
"It's getting severe. Gothi doesn't think she'll survive childbirth." I heard Hiccup say.
"There has to be something she can give her." My said.
"Gothi's looking all over for a cure. Until then, Alaina will just keep getting weaker and weaker. And when it's her time… the baby might survive, but it's highly unlikely that she will." Hiccup's voice caught on the last part.
"What?" I came out from behind the corner of the stairs and stared at my cousin.
"Alaina, calm down." He said.
I couldn't take it. I ran out the door, ignoring Hiccup's screams for me to come back. I mounted Shadow, and he took off.
Alaina, what's wrong? He asked.
"I'll explain later just go!" Tears were flowing down my now red cheeks.
When we landed, I threw myself on the ground and cried.
Shadow came over to me and wrapped his tail around me.
Will you please tell me what's wrong? He asked.
"I woke up and went downstairs. But I heard my dad and Hiccup talking. He said that the disease I have is getting severe, and I'll just keep getting weaker and weaker. And when I give birth… he said the baby might survive but it's highly unlikely that I will."
But, you're immortal. How can you die? He asked.
"Immortals can get really weak or fade away if no one believes in them anymore. In my case, I guess that I'm getting really weak and when I give birth it'll drain my energy. I'll be too injured to respawn." (Not sure if those are the right words.) I explained.
Oh. He laid his head in my lap, and I stroked it. "I just can't do this any more." I laid against him.
Do what?
"I just can't take being sick anymore. I can't stand that Astrid's dying, and I can't do anything about it! I'm sick of knowing that after I give birth, I die and I won't be able to see my child grow up. I'm sick of being helpless!" I cried into his scales.
"You're not helpless." I whipped my head around and saw Hiccup walking over with Toothless.
He sat down beside me. "How am I not?"
"I don't know, but you can't just criticize yourself. You'll get through this, I promise." He promised.
"I'm just so, so scared." I cried.
He pulled me into an embrace. "I know, I know."
"I don't wanna die." I wept.
"And neither does Snotlout." Hiccup said.
"Snotlout?"
Hiccup nodded. "He really cares for you. You nearly gave him a heart attack when you passed out yesterday."
"Wow." I wiped away my tears. "I wasn't expecting that."
"Neither were we. Now stop stressing. It's not good for the baby." Hiccup said.
"Fine."
"Now can we go back?" Hiccup asked.
"Okay." We got up, mounted our dragons, and took off.
The next five months were torture. I was six months in, and I was almost pleading to die because of how uncomfortable it was. I was incredibly fat because of the baby, I usually slept in until the afternoon, and was up for only a few hours a day.
I kept getting contractions, which hurt like hell. Gothi gave me a medicine for it, but it did little for the pain.
I kept praying for a cure, and asked Vesta in my dreams, but she was clueless. Until, Gothi finally found a cure.
"ALAINA!" Hiccup ran into my bedroom, and I bolted upright.
"Hiccup? What are you doing here?" I said.
"Gothi found a cure!" He exclaimed.
"She did?! What is it!" I asked.
"It's green and purple oleander, mixed with a few herbs that Gothi already has. Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs are already out there getting it." Hiccup answered.
"Oh my gods." I layed back down. "I'm gonna be okay. But what about Astrid? He still needs her cure." I said.
"Astrid is fine."
"And what about Hazel? Is she okay?" I asked.
"Actually, her breathing is normal now. She's good." He answered.
"That's good. Where's Astrid?" I asked.
"Taking care of the twins. They were giving us a hard time last night and they just went to sleep." Hiccup explained.
"How did you get them asleep?" I asked.
"I didn't. Astrid did. I don't know how she did it."
"She has the gift of a mom." I joked.
"That might be it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hiccup's pov~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins got back with the cure.
"Where is she? Snotlout asked.
"In bed. She could barely keep her eyes open. You have the cure?" I asked.
Snotlout nodded and pulled out a bottle containing a greenish-purple liquid.
"Let's go." He said.
I nodded and led the way.
When we got there, we found her parents talking.
"We got the cure. Is she still in bed?" I asked. Her mother nodded, and we raced upstairs.
We found her sound asleep in bed. I walked over and tried to wake her up.
"Alaina, w have the cure. Wake up." I tried about ten times, but she wouldn't wake. I tried shaking her, but that didn't work. "Alaina!" She didn't wake up. I panicked. I felt for a pulse. It was very faint, but it was there.
"Snotlout, get Gothi. She's not waking up!"
Oh no! Is she in labor? Is she just to weak to wake up? Who knows! Find out what happens next time! Hope you enjoyed and please review!
