I feel so, so bad! I've been so busy lately, and I have finals coming up next week, I just haven't had time to write. I miss study hall~
I should let you guys know a secret, I was going to make this story the fluffy one of the three, then I was like 'Hm better not'. Thus, another drama filled story comes your way!
Oh, and to that guest that reviewed that I should be ashamed that I put swear words in my story, if you don't like it, don't read it. I'm going to put swear words in my story whether you like it or not. I'm really not trying to be rude, but it's called growing up, deal with it. When you grow up, people start swear more than when they were little. And don't write 'Don't let me catch you ever writing like that again'. It's not your choice for me to put swear words in my stories, or the fact that Astrid was raped by Sam, it's my story, not yours.
Sorry about that rant, I should just let you read the chapter now… I own nothing!
"Hiccup," smiled Camicazi "It's been awhile."
It's his childhood in one person, it's his first crush, it's like shyly holding hands and blushing cheeks.
"Camicazi." Hiccup dropped his lunch "W-what the hell? Why are you here?"
"Well, can't I see my childhood best friend?" She shrugged "When I heard you moved to Florida, I couldn't believe it. Florida and Hiccup Haddock so doesn't mix."
"Things have changed Cami."
"You think I don't know that Hic, I heard you're getting married, I never thought that would happen." The ring is plainly obvious to Hiccup as Cami twisted it around her left finger
"I-I see you're getting married too. Congratulations."
"What? Oh, this. I got a divorce. The bastard cheated on me. I just haven't taken of the ring yet."
"I-I'm sorry…" Said Hiccup "But, why are you really here Cami?"
"I heard about your dad, but I couldn't track you down."
Hiccup's eyes widened "M-my dad?"
"Yeah, it was all over the news. I'm so sorry Hiccup."
"That was five years ago." Stated Hiccup "I'm over it."
"Hiccup, look, I know it has been forever, and I'm sorry for not staying in touch. But, I'm here now." Cami shrugged and Hiccup picked at an imaginary piece of dust off of his pants.
"Cami, it's been thirteen years. You can't do this Cami."
"Why not!? I just want-" Cami stopped and closed her eyes "I just want us back."
"There was no us, there never was, and never will be…"
His jaw was clenched.
Astrid bit her lip and grabbed his right hand. "You okay babe?"
"I'm fine." It was his typical response. Ever since his father's death it was 'Fine' or 'Okay'.
"Babe, you're talking to the queen of 'fine.' You're not fine."
They were on their way to the airport to pick up Scarlett. "I'm fine." Hiccup smiled at her and kissed her hand "I love you so much. You know that right."
"Of course I do. You only tell me every hour." Laughed Astrid "I love you to."
"Good." Smiled Hiccup, squeezing her hand "I just want you to know."
"Why are you stressed out Hiccup?" He's only like this right before he has a big project and he won't admit he's stressed.
"It's just something at work Milady. Don't worry about me okay."
"Okay." Astrid said, playing with her seatbelt "Do you think I'll get fat when I start showing?"
"Of course not. You could never get fat in my eyes."
"Because what about everyone else?"
"Astrid… okay, you want the truth. You'll get bigger, not fat, bigger. There's a baby growing inside of you."
Astrid looked down and played with her sleeves "I hate it when you're right."
"You're stuck with me…"
"Hiccup!" Scarlett smiled, jumping into his arms
"Hey Scarlett." Hiccup hugged his best friend tightly
About a year after Astrid moved to Florida, Scarlett started calling Hiccup 'Hiccup' instead of Henry. She thought it was easier, and fit him better than Henry.
"How was Australia?" asked Hiccup, letting Scarlett go
"It was amazing. I wish I didn't have to come back, but I missed you two too much!" Scarlett said, hugging Astrid. "It's great to you see guys."
"Was studying abroad that bad?" Laughed Hiccup
"No way! It was amazing! But I wanted to come back to my boy." Scarlett smirked, squeezing Hiccup's cheeks. Hiccup pushed her hand off of his cheek.
"Stop." He warned, shaking his head
"I love you." Joked Scarlett
"Sure you do."
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" screamed Scarlett, jumping up and down in her seat "Oh my god! This is so great! I call godmother! Called it!"
Astrid laughed "Okay, okay. You can have godmother. You're more excited than I thought you would be…"
"Please, I'm just glad Hiccup can get the job done, if you know what I mean."
"Scarlett!" Blushed Hiccup, swerving into the next lane on accident. The car next to them honked and Hiccup waved shyly.
"Hiccup, could you step on it? I have an appointment in an hour." Said Astrid
"Oh, really? If you told me, I would've taken off work and-"
"I don't want you to come okay. I just… if I lose it, I don't want you to be there." Said Astrid
"Astrid, we're a team now." Hiccup grabbed her hand
"Can I go?" Asked Scarlett
"If I can't go. You can't go Scarlett." Stated Hiccup
"Sure, Scarlett. You can go." Astrid said at the same time. Hiccup stared at his fiancée
"Scarlett can go, but I can't?"
"Sure. She's a girl…"
"Again, I'm out numbered in life. I need more guys in my life." Hiccup sighed at his pathetic life, as he kept driving.
Astrid's leg was shaking as she waited for her doctor.
"Calm down. You're making me nervous just by looking at you."
"I'm sorry, it's just—I've lost two babies in my life time, I don't want to lose another."
"You're not going to lose thi- two?"
"Yeah," Astrid nervously laughed "Uh, about two years ago… Hiccup didn't know either." Astrid looked down "I didn't even want those two babies… but… I kinda want this one."
"I'm sure this one will make it Astrid." Smiled Scarlett
"Astrid Hofferson." They heard
"Want me to come with you?" asked Scarlett
"Please do…"
Scarlett smiled and they walked back to the room.
"The doctor'll be in soon." Smiled the nurse, shutting the door behind him. Astrid played with her thumbs.
"I wonder if the doctor is taken. What's his name?" asked Scarlett
"Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"No, I don't not." Scarlett gestured to her boobs "These have not been touched in a long time, I have to live viscously through you and Hiccup."
Astrid rolled her eyes "No, I don't know his name. I forgot it."
The door opened and Astrid looked up. The doctor walked in with a cocky smile on his face, and Astrid felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Hello, I'm Eret Harrison and I'll be your doctor."
"Holy shit…" Whispered Scarlett
"You must be Astrid Hofferson…"
Astrid was staring at Dr. Harrison trying to place him. Eret… do I know an Eret?
"Yeah, I'm Astrid…" Astrid said
"So, how far along are you?" Dr. Harrison asked "Uh, a month… I think." Astrid shrugged "I don't really know."
"Okay, we'll have an ultrasound for you soon… Astrid, I've heard that name before." Dr. Harrison snapped his fingers "I know, five years ago. I tried to hit on you!"
Scarlett gasped and Astrid flushed "Oh yeah… small world."
"I didn't know you lived in Florida."
"I moved here shortly after we met."
"Oh, I moved here after my divorce."
"You hit on me when you were married?" asked Astrid, no wondering he got divorced, he's the biggest flirt Astrid had ever met.
Eret smirked "I'd rather not talk about my personal life with a client. Now, how about that ultrasound?"
"Oh my god, oh my god." Scarlett leaned against Astrid after Eret stepped out of the room, clutching her heart "I have never seen anyone so hot before…"
"I've seen better." Shrugged Astrid "He's not even that cute Scarlett."
"He can eat crackers in my bed any day." Scarlett went on as if Astrid never talked
"God Scarlett you're gross." Astrid said, shaking her head
"Did you see those arm muscles… Jesus… just… Jesus…"
"Scarlett, stop it. He's not that cute."
"How can you not see how perfect he is?"
"What? Perfect? He just admitted to flirting with other girls while he was married! He's nowhere near perfect!"
"You just don't understand Astrid."
Astrid sighed and rolled her eyes "I really don't want to hear about how you're in love with him."
"Fine…"
"This isn't humane."
"Stop acting like a child."
"I'm a grown man. Men shouldn't have braids in their hair!" Hiccup crossed his arms and pouted.
Astrid and Scarlett looked at each other "Come on. You promised once I got back we could braid your hair."
"That was a year ago Scarlett and I don't remember promising such a promise."
Astrid laughed "I think you look cute babe." Astrid kissed his cheek and Hiccup pouted more. "Really. I might just have you do this for our wedding."
"You better not." Glared Hiccup as Astrid started braiding some hair on the top of his head. "I thought you guys loved me…" Whined Hiccup
"We do, but we love braiding your hair so," Scarlett shrugged
"Are you almost done?" Hiccup asked
"Almost babe. Scarlett, get those hairs."
"Where?"
"There! Behind his ear." Astrid pointed
"Thanks." Smiled Scarlett
"I hate you both." Stated Hiccup
"You love us."
"No, really. I honestly think I hate you both."
The doorbell rang and Hiccup blushed "I'm not getting that."
"Why? Embarrassed?" Asked Astrid
"Yes, my best friend and fiancée just braided my hair, why wouldn't I be embarrassed?"
Astrid laughed and stood up "I'll get it." Astrid started down the eight steps "Coming!"
Astrid ran to the door and opened the door. "Valka?"
Valka smiled "Hi sweetheart."
"Why are you here? The wedding's in two months." Astrid hugged her future mother in law tightly
Valka chuckled and hugged Astrid back "I missed you two so much, I just thought I would pop in for a visit before the wedding."
"Hi Mrs. Haddock!" called Scarlett waving.
"Mom!" Hiccup shouted "Wait one second, Scarlett hand me my foot?"
"Here."
Hiccup buckled his leg back on and started down the stairs.
"Honey, I love you, but why do you braids in your hair?" Laughed Valka
"Oh, the girls got to my hair and insisted that they braid it."
"Hm," smiled Valka, turning to Astrid "Astrid, sweetheart, I have a little surprise for you. Please don't be mad at me."
"Why would I be-?"
"Astrid what did I tell you about eating too many cookies? You never listened to me."
Astrid looked over Valka's shoulder and gasped "Mother?"
