“Are ya sure this is what ya want?” Gobber placed a hand on your shoulder, worry etched onto his face.

“You can always stay,” Astrid took a step away from Stormfly and twords you, her expression mirroring Gobbers.”

“Yeah.” You spoke quietly, gently running your hand over your unborn child. “It’s-it’s for the best.”

Gobber held your gaze for a few more moments. He then looked over at Astrid and sighed. A small smile tugged at both their lips. “We’ll miss ya, ya know.”

“I’ll miss you too.” You then pulled the rather robust man and skinny girl into a hug. This was the man that found you when you first washed ashore, who helped nurse you back to health. They were the one that was with you through all 7 months of your pregnancy, and they were the one who cheered you up when you needed it most.

You didn’t want to leave them, but you had too if you wanted to start over.

And god did you want to start over.


oOo


They had found you washed up on the shores of Berk, passed out and dying.  

When you had woken up you were in a strange place, and that wild and feral part of you took over, and you tore apart the home in fear and desperation, letting your skin morph into sleek red scales and your eyes into slits. When they had calmed you down you felt an immense amount of guilt, and apologized over and over.

The younger one said he didn’t mind, only that he was glad that you were okay.

The older one started asking what you were.

You didn’t want to tell them, and the younger one didn’t make you. He said that it was your business, and you could tell them on your own time, if you even wanted to tell them at all.

You had never been so grateful.


oOo


The boat had finally pulled up to the docks. Trader Johan was aboard, as he had agreed to take you where you needed to go.

“Well, I guess…” You hoisted your bag up on your shoulder. Gobber nodded, and Astrid gave you one last hug before sending you off.

Valka hadn’t come, and you couldn’t help but feel disappointment. But, when you were halfway up the plank and a voice you had grown to love and hate sounded in your ears, you suddenly knew why.

“(Name), wait!”


oOo

You had told Hiccup, Astrid and Gobber what you were a long time ago.  

You were from a race of people that could use magic.  You yourself mostly used it to do the dragon human hybrid that Hiccup and Gobber had first saw, but it could be used for small things.

You had also told them that the reason you came here was to see and maybe even train a dragon. You hadn’t planned on your ship crashing, and you most certainty didn’t plan on coming close to dying.

The three had been a little skeptical, but after a while you were brought into their little group of friends with open arms.

And then that night happened.

You weren’t sure if it was the mead or if it just seamed right, but you had Hiccup had done some things you weren’t very proud of.  It had been one of those classic Viking celebrations, and after a few drinks and much flirting you and Hiccup left, and didn’t show up for the rest of the night.

The next day Hiccup had left before you had woken up.

Astrid had wanted to punch him in the face. She actually did try, but both you and Gobber had to hold her back, much to the confusion of Hiccup.

“You can’t just let him get away with that!” Astrid seethed once the Viking Chief had managed to get away.  He hadn’t even spared you a glance, and you weren’t gonna lie, it had hurt.  “He knows how much you liked him!

“Astrid, it’s fine,” You said quietly.  But honestly, it wasn’t fine. It was the furthest thing away from fine.

“No, it’s not!”  

“Astrid,” Gobber placed a hand on the frazzled blonds shoulder. She looked up, and was about to yell at him when he gestured at you.  You were staring at the spot Hiccup had been standing with a vacant look in your eyes. Astrid looked back to Gobber and then you, before venturing over to you.

“Hey,” she pulled you out of your thoughts, placing a hand on your shoulder and smiling ever so slightly. “Since I can’t punch him, how about we go flying and you can shout your troubles to the wind, okay?”

You looked back at her, blinked, and then let your own smile cross your lips. “Okay.”

“Good.”

And so you spent the majority of your mornings flying with Astrid. Gobber would occasionally tag along, but he was so busy in the forge he rarely got time. When you were on the ground you did your best to avoid Hiccup, but there was just some things that you needed to see them about. The visits and talks were always brief, and you left before Hiccup could get in another word.

It had been a few weeks since that night, and you thought you would finally be over him. And then the morning sickness came, and it all went down hill from there.

You, knowing a little bit of magic, instantly knew that you were with child.

Panic over took you rather quickly, and you fell onto the bed, eyes wide as you stared at the wall. Millions of thoughts and scenarios ran through you mind, and as you struggled to sort through them with out hyperventilating, Astrid came in for her daily visit.

She rushed to your side instantly, and after demanding what was wrong you managed to tell her.

“…You’re pregnant?” she asked after a long moment of silence.

You nodded.

“A-and its Hiccup’s?”

You nodded again, and before Astrid could speak again you quickly spoke. “And this doesn’t mean you can hurt him.”

“But-I-“ Astrid struggled for words, and then finally she decided on, “Are you going to tell him?”

“…I don’t know.” You said quietly, looking down at your stomach. It was just as toned as it ever was, but you couldn’t help but gently run your hand over it.  

“Alright,” Astrid stood. “But we should at least tell Gobber and Valka.”

You had grown rather close to Hiccup’s mother these past few months, and you wanted Valka to know first.

You nodded and then stood, and you and Astrid went in search of the dragon trainer. She was with Gobber at the forge, and after checking to make sure Hiccup was nowhere in sight, you told the two. Valka was overjoyed, but there was a glimmer of disappointment towards her son (“He should be with you, helping you through this!”) But she still held a smile, as if she knew something that no one else did. Gobber was torn between so many emotions that you were surprised he hadn’t passed out. In the end he decide on sobbing and pulling you into a bone-crushing hug.

So you hid your little secret from the rest of Berk, and Hiccup. And when the baby bump started to show, you decided it was time to go back home.

oOo

Hiccup and Toothless touched down on the docks, and as soon as those black paws hit the wood Hiccup was off and running.  He would have reached you too if Astrid hadn’t planted her fist on his cheek.

“You-!” Astrid couldn’t think of any words to say to him. “How could you just-!”

Hiccup just stood still. He made no indication that he had been hit or that Astrid was yelling at him. He just stood there, his eyes locked with Astrid’s. When he did speak, it was the most pitiful sound you have ever heard him make.

“Astrid, please,” He spoke so quietly, and his eyes were so full of sorrow and regret that it silenced the furious blond. “I just need to talk to her.”

“I-“ Astrid looked back at you, and after a few moments of silence you went back down the plank, stopping in front of Hiccup.

“What do you want?”

“I’m sorry.” Well, that wasn’t what you had been expecting. “I should have been there for you, I should have told you, I-“  He stopped and then took a deep breath. “I-I like you, a lot. Hell, I might even love you.”

You eyes widened. “Y-you what?”  this was most defiantly not what you were expecting.  “No, there’s no way.  You left me; you avoided me, tossed me aside! How could you love me!?” You shouted, your eyes watering. This wasn’t right. This couldn’t be right.

“I didn’t!” Hiccup shouted back. “You were avoiding me! I tried to talk to you, but you always left before I could! I thought,” He suddenly got quite. “I thought you hated me.”

You stared at him for the longest time, before looking down, your hand drifting back to your stomach. “I could never hate you Hiccup.”

Now it was Hiccup’s turn to stare. And after a few moments he broke into a smile. “Then do you think that you could stay here?” He asked, placing his hand on top of yours. “With me?”

You looked back up. “Yes, I think I can do that.”

You two stared at each other, smiling like idiots.  And then Hiccup’s face morphed into one of pain and he slapped a hand to his bruised cheek. “Gods damn it Astrid! That hurt!”

“Well, you deserved it!” She grumbled, crossing her arms. But she did smile.  “Making our (Name) all depressed.”

Gobber was just smiling like there was no tomorrow.

Ahhhh this was perfect from Astrid knocking sense into Hiccup to everyone caring about her. Wonderful!
