Hey guys! Sorry it's been forever! I'm just going through somethings that I need to work out, and—my life's a mess, truth be told. But! I will not bore you with my life! So, enjoy! I own nothing!

Reviews!:

Robin: Haha! Trust me, she's the person you're supposed to hate! And no, Eret is not stalking Astrid, and yes, him smiling at Scarlett is good!

PS: I will get those songs on the playlist! I'm sorry I haven't, but those will go up as soon as possible!

Khizap: Is that a good thing?

Oreos: Thanks! So am I, this has changed my life. Thanks, I'm glad you think Eret and Scarlett would be a good couple. A

You stay perfect! I believe you are the first person to say that back to me. That made me feel great!

All of you, I know I use this all the time, but I'm not just saying it because you know I'm writing this trilogy, though it's what started it, but I think this trilogy has brought this light to my eyes that girls (and guys too) don't all think they're perfect. Trust me, I'm not a size 0 and only eat carrots, but I think we're all perfect in a way. So don't think I'm just saying it because I'm writing this trilogy, I'm saying it because you are perfect, and I don't want you to forget it.

On that note, Stay Perfect.


"We have to have this," Hiccup said, pulling a blue plastic ball out of a bin at their local Wal-Mart.

"Why do we have to have that?" Asked Astrid, uncomfortable. Her shirt felt like it was five times too small, with her growing baby bump getting far too noticeable for her liking.

This has to be the farthest she's ever gotten in a pregnancy. Why didn't anyone tell her how uncomfortable it is?

"Hiccup, babe, please, let's just get what we need and get out."

Hiccup walked over to her and cupped her face. He kissed her quickly and grabbed her hand with his right and pushed the cart with his left. Astrid smiled and started to walk with him.

Hiccup smiled down at her "What do we need?" He let go of her hand and dug into her purse

"Bitch, get away from that!" Astrid shouted, pushed Hiccup away "You never go through a girl's purse,"
"Even one you've been with for five years?"

Astrid patted his face "Never means never, babe." Hiccup pouted and Astrid rolled her eyes "Sometimes, it's like I'm dating a five year old, I swear to God…" Astrid whispered as she pulled out her list "Okay, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, a case of lemonade, pens, butter, yogurt, and half and half."

"Got it." Hiccup saluted and grabbed her hand again.


"Milady!"

Astrid looked over from her paper towels and saw Hiccup running to her, as much as he could on a metal leg, holding something. "What?" she asked

"Isn't this cute!?" Hiccup shoved something in her face, and when she pulled it away, she saw that it was an onesie. It was white and read 'Daddy's little girl' with a bunch of girly crap on it.

"Uh, Hic, the funny thing about picking out baby clothes is that you actually need to know the gender of the baby first. We promised that we wanted to be surprised."

"But Astrid, I want to know, it's killing me not knowing, I think it's physically killing me."

"Put it back, we don't need it."

"What about a crib, we need a crib."

"We don't have the room picked out, nor do we have it painted."

"Why not use the upstairs guest room, and paint it blue, because I think it's a boy."

Astrid put a hand on her hip "Then why did you pick this out?" she shook the onesie at him

"I thought it was cute." Shrugged Hiccup, the two braids in his hair coming a little loose.

"Why were you in the baby aisle anyway?"

"I—no comment." Hiccup said, sticking his nose in the air

"Don't use that tone with me, Hiccup. Why were you in the baby aisle?"

"…because we have nothing picked out, and with the wedding coming in in four weeks, and you being three months pregnant, I was wondering why we don't have anything picked out."

Astrid looked back at her paper towels "Which one do you want to get, Hic?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Hiccup looked at her

"Which one do you think we need? This one's cheaper, but this one will last longer, choices are endless…" Astrid pulled up the sleeves of her sweatshirt and reached up to grab another roll. Hiccup's eyes immediately went to her arm. He saw the scars and—

"Astrid." He whispered, a cold and scary whisper. Astrid's head whipped around, saw him staring at her arm, and pulled down her sleeve. "Astrid… what was that?"

"Nothing." She looked down

"Look at me Astrid, I saw them."

"Do we have to this here?"

Hiccup looked at her arms, then at her, then shook his head "No. We don't. We'll talk at home." Hiccup walked past her and pushed the cart out of the aisle.

Why didn't he see the signs? They were all there, wearing the sweatshirts, refusing his… ahem… advances. That whole first year of her being in Florida, they didn't have sex. She was ashamed of them. He thought they were beautiful, they there a part of her, maybe not the best part, but they showed what she went through and she beat it.

And now…

Hiccup turned around and looked at her, Astrid was looking at the ground, arms crossed and covered "What I don't understand is why?"

"Hiccup, can we not?"

"Is it that Eret guy? Did he do something to you? If he did, tell me, I'll kill him!"

"Sh! Hiccup!" Astrid yelled "It's not Eret, okay. Can we talk about this at home, please?"

"Fine. You're not getting out this Astrid."


"I can't believe you!" Hiccup shouted as they walked inside.

Ruffnut looked up from the couch, baby Jesse in her arms "What's going on?"

"Astrid—I—ugh!" Hiccup ran a hand through his hair

"Hiccup, it's not—please just—I don't-!"

"YOU PROMISED ME!" Hiccup shouted

"It's not something you can quit, Hiccup!"

"Astrid…" Whispered Ruff "Are you cutting again?"

Astrid let out a sob

"I knew it." Whispered Hiccup

"Hiccup, please…" Astrid reached out for his hand, but he took his hand out of her reach

"I just—I have to go…" Hiccup picked up his keys and walked out

"Hiccup…" Whispered Astrid


Hiccup pounded on the door.

"Rosemarie! Open up!" Yelled Hiccup

Rosemarie opened the door and looked at him "Henry, sweetheart, what's wrong?" Rosemarie looked at his tear stained face, "Honey, is it Astrid? What's wrong?"

"She cut again. It's my fault. I think I was putting too much pressure on her. It's my fault." Hiccup rubbed his forehead

"Oh, Honey." Rosemarie pulled him into a hug

"I don't know what to do anymore, Rose." Sobbed Hiccup "I love her too much. I don't want to lose her…"

"Sh, Honey. It's okay. You're not going to lose her."

Hiccup buried his head into her shoulder. Rosemarie was always like a second mom to him. Her hug was always comforting to him, but nothing beat a hug from his real mom.

"I just want to make her okay again…" Sobbed Hiccup

"Honey, you can't just change someone like that." Said Rose.

"Why can't I make her okay?"

"Sh, Hiccup."


"I can't believe you Astrid? What could have happened to make you break?" asked Fishlegs "You were doing so well."

Astrid shifted on the couch, holding her arms close to her stomach.

"Astrid, it's not a hard thing to answer." Said Ruff

"I don't wanna answer you…" whispered Astrid

"Is about the baby?" asked Ruff

Astrid shook her head.

"Then what is it?"

"Nothing!" Shouted Astrid, standing up "It's nothing! I'm still broken!"

"You were clean for four years Astrid." Whispered Fishlegs

"…" Astrid looked at her "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course," said Ruff "We're your best friends."

"You have to promise not to tell Hiccup, because I just… I don't want him to worry any more than he has too about me." Astrid sighed, brushing stubborn bangs out of her eyes "Well… here goes nothing…"
