It has been a year since Hiccup was rescued.
Hiccup was himself again. His appetite was back to normal, and he was the sweet, sarcastic, goofy self again.
But Astrid wouldn't say he was completely healed. A part of him will always be broken. Sometimes, she would find him deep in his thoughts, which she knew he was thinking about the torturing he went through. But whenever that happens, Astrid would always be there to comfort him.
What happened to Hiccup was a tragedy, and the healing process had many ups and downs, but this traumatic experience has made him a stronger person.
8 years later...
Hiccup and Astrid are 27 years old. They have been married for 2 years now, and were expecting their first child.
"Just one more push, Astrid." The healer said. Astrid was sweating profusely, squeezing her husband's hand tightly, which he was sure it was broken already. She gave one last push and they heard the most beautiful cry in the world.
"Congratulations! It's a girl." The healer said with a smile, passing the baby to Astrid who had tears of joy in her eyes.
"Look at her, Hiccup. She is so small. And she has your hair." She whispered softly, holding her daughter close to her heart, a few tears falling down her cheeks.
"She has your eyes. She is so beautiful. Just like her mother." Hiccup whispered and looked at his wife. Astrid smiled warmly and kissed Hiccup on the lips.
"Our beautiful baby girl." She said happily. Hiccup chuckled and gently stroked his daughter's head.
"I love you. I love you both so much." He said with a big smile on his face.
