Hey guys, so lately, I've been getting a lot of 'Stop all this swearing' or reviews to that nature. Look, I'm going to be honest: If you don't like. Don't read. Don't waste both of our time just to tell me to stop swearing. I'm not sure if it's the same person, or different people, but I don't want those reviews anymore. I'm not telling you to stop reviewing, just don't review if you're going to tell me to stop swearing.
Oh, and another thing: Don't read this story if you haven't read Perfect or Here Comes the Goodbye. It will not make sense! I should have put this earlier, but it's on my profile so I didn't.
Review time!
Someone: Thanks! I did, I'm really excited for that movie (The Green Bay Packers are in… you know, so is my Packer Husband: Clay Matthews the 3rd… Go Pack Go!)
G: I know Astrid's mom is irritating, but she'll get better! Sorry you don't like how Cami is in the story, but don't worry, she too will get better
Khizap: I do to! Here's the next chapter, and I'm sorry that you spoiled it! I should have told you! I feel really bad!
Lola: Okay…? I'm not really sure what you mean…
Amaldia: Read comment at the top.
Guest: Thanks! Hiccup is in trouble! I already have his reaction in mind, and thanks!
Robin: Wow, that's awesome! I'm really glad you liked it! And I wish I could tell you about Eret and Scarlett, but then I would spoil the whole plot, so I'm sorry, but I'm glad someone else ships them!
P.S.: Thanks! I'm glad someone doesn't mind them! And you know, I'm in high school, so I get a lot of homework, and tests and other things that I have to do, I try to write when I have the time, but I don't have a lot of time!
So everybody, Stay Perfect! Love you! I own nothing!
"Oh shit." Whispered Hiccup
"Oh shit? Mommy! I want that prosthetic!" The little girl yelled and the mom covered her ears
"Sorry! I- I have to take this..."
Hiccup walked out into the little outlet mall hallway.
"What's your problem Hiccup!" Yelled Astrid
"Astrid, please just listen to me-"
"We're engaged! I'm pregnant! I will cut you with my axe when you get home. First, I need to find my axe..."
"Astrid! Look, Cami isn't what you think-"
"I think that she's your lover! I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR GODDAMN CHILD HENRY HORRENDOUS HADDOCK THE THIRD!"
Hiccup held the phone away from his ear "Hear me out woman!"
He heard a few deep breaths "Fine. Tell your side of the story."
"Look, Cami is just a friend, I promise. Not even that. She's just a ghost of the past. She means nothing to me."
"Then why is she giving you letters?" Huffed Astrid
"I don't know, okay Astrid... all I know is that she wanted to catch up, nothing more."
"Hiccup... I'm sorry, I accused you..."
"No, no, Milady. It's fine. I understand completely. I would do the same if this happened to you."
"Okay... when are you coming home?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"See you the babe... I love you..."
"I love you more..."
Scarlett looked at the unopened letter, then back at Astrid "I don't know what you want me to do."
"If you open it, Hiccup can't get mad at me, but I can read it."
"But he'll bitch at me..."
"Exactly!"
"Astrid, this isn't like you... it's just a letter."
"I know, but... Camicazi seemed kinda important if she's dropping off a letter. Who even uses letters anymore!?"
"Astrid, come on, Hiccup isn't going to leave you. It's probably just a letter about his father, and how sorry she is."
"But... that was five years ago."
"Astrid. Hiccup loves you. I promise you this."
Astrid twisted her ring. "I know this... Hiccup loves me..."
Astrid sat in front of the TV with a bowl of popcorn, wearing her favorite pair of sweats, and Hiccup's sweatshirt. It was past midnight, and couldn't sleep. She turned on Netflix and chose a movie.
Toothless jumped on the couch, resting his head on her side.
"You're a spoiled dog..." Astrid said, throw a piece of popcorn at him "I blame Hiccup..."
Toothless licked her arm and rested his head on her lap.
"Astrid, honey?" Valka's voice came out if darkness
"Hey Val, what are you doing up?" Asked Astrid
"I could ask you the same question." Valka smiled
"Couldn't sleep..." She shrugged
"Oh, really? I could make some tea..."
"No, it doesn't help..."
Valka walked over to her and sat down "Honey, what's really going on?"
"Nothing, I'm fine." Astrid said, making Val feel her forehead "Valka, I'm fine."
"Are you sure..."
"Positive."
Valka smiled and kissed her forehead "Go to bed soon..."
"Sure Val..."
Valka walked back to the upstairs guest room. Astrid laid back on the couch and closed her eyes.
Hiccup fixed his carry on to his left shoulder and looked around baggage claim.
"Hiccup!"
He turned and saw Astrid running to him
"Hey Milady!" Astrid jumped into his arms and he hugged her
"I missed you!" She buried her head in his neck
"I missed you to..." Hiccup said "Where's my mom?"
"Oh, she stayed at home. Her and Scarlett are finishing up my dress."
"And you're not helping? I thought you loved doing all that girly crap..."
Astrid punched him. "Ow!"
"That's what you get!"
Hiccup rubbed his arm "Come on, let's go home."
"Hello Love!" Valka squeezed her son tighter to her
"Hey mom..." Hiccup hugged back
"Have you been eating?" Valka looked at her twenty six year old son "You look thinner."
"Mom!" Yelled Hiccup
"Henry!" Julianna's shrill voice said
"Hello Mrs. Hofferson. How are you this fine day."
"Surprised that you didn't ditch Astrid."
Hiccup bit his lip, closing Astrid closer "Not this time Mrs. Hofferson."
Astrid smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, her lips brushing against his neck. Toothless bit Hiccup's ankle to get attention.
"Ow! Toothless!" Yelled Hiccup, petting his head "Yeah, yeah. I missed you to, ya little shit."
"So, maybe I should get dinner ready. What's everyone hungry for?" Asked Astrid
"I'm hungry for whatever you want Milady." Hiccup's hand found her stomach and Astrid beamed
"What about you Val? Daddy?"
"Anything Darling." Smiled Val
"Ditto Kiddo."
"That rhymed. I like it." Smiled Astrid
Astrid was humming as she cooked dinner. Hiccup's sweatshirt was warm on her back as she cool the pasta.
"Kiddo?" Her father's voice rang out, and Astrid turned around.
"What's up Daddy?" She smirked
"Nothing dear. I just... we need to talk."
"Oh, okay..." Said Astrid crossing her arms "What about?"
"I was thinking about Ariana."
Astrid let out a shaky breath "What about Ariana?"
"The day of the accident, I told Ari not to bring you. I told her that you didn't want to. But she didn't listen to me. And then..." Jack looked at the ground "getting that call saying your child died in an accident is never easy, and of course I assumed it was you, and I burst into tears... then when I heard it was Ari, and you survived... I had no one to blame... so I choose wrong and blamed you..." Astrid looked down, tears burning hot in her eyes "And I can't take back all the things I said to you, adding to the shit you went through, and probably made you cut more... and it breaks my heart every time I think about it." Astrid closed her eyes "Your mother loves you. Just know that, she doesn't understand mental illnesses. She doesn't understand why you had to go into the hospital..."
"Daddy..." Sniffed Astrid, before hugging her father "I'm sorry..."
Jack held her daughter close "I love you so much..."
"I love you to Daddy..."
Hiccup pushed hair out of his eyes as he unpacked. He opened her bedside drawer and saw a letter with Henry written in perfect cursive. Hiccup sat on his bed with the letter in his hands. He took a deep breath and opened the letter.
Henry,
Look, it know it's been forever... and I really don't know what to say expect:
I know how you felt about me, back when were kids. And trust me, I loved you to. And I also know those feelings don't go away overnight. Henry... I still love you...
I know this is old fashioned, but I don't care... I just wanted to let you know. Ever since I found about you getting married, I wanted to tell you this.
I hope we can meet up and talk. Please meet me at the mall on Saturday, at noon. I understand if you don't come, but I hope you do.
Love,
Camicazi
Hiccup folded the letter up and closed his fist, crinkling the paper.
She—she can't do that! She has no right to come into his life after thirteen years and say that she still loves him. Hiccup threw the paper in the drawer right as his bedroom door opened.
"Hey babe." Smiled Astrid
"Hey Milady." Hiccup stood up "What's up?"
"Dinner's ready. Scarlett's coming over."
"Ah, I shall get the good wine and we shall dine in STYLE!" Hiccup smirked
"You're not funny." Astrid said, walking out of the room. Hiccup grabbed her waist and pulled her close
"I thought it was funny…" Hiccup mumbled against her neck
Astrid smirked "You think everything's funny."
"I don't think everything is…" Defended Hiccup, kissing her neck
"Oh really?" she asked
"Didn't you say dinner is ready? No offense, I'm kinda hungry."
"Come on, Casanova." Laughed Astrid, walking out of Hiccup's arms.
Astrid sat up in bed and looked at Hiccup, who was reading with his glasses on. She bit her lip as she saw him mouthing the words. He's always done that. Her first memory of him was when they had lockers by each other, and he'd read, his lips would move.
It was pretty hot. Astrid looked down at her book, then looked at Hiccup again, and back to her book.
"Hic…" she said
"Hm?"
"I've never wanted you more…" she said and Hiccup's head snapped up.
"Wh-what?" he stuttered
Astrid pushed her book aside, climbed onto Hiccup's lap, grabbed his book and threw it over her shoulder.
"I was getting to the good part." Pouted Hiccup, taking off his glasses
"Stop complaining…" Astrid whispered against his lips
"I'm not…" Hiccup's hand fiddled with the lamp switch, then suddenly the room when dark…
