It's You And Me, Always

Peg Leg!

Astrid's POV:
Throk tells me to follow him to the hospital so they can check if Dustin has any injuries, so I strap Dustin in his spare car seat that Hiccup keeps in his trunk. 

"Asty, where going?" He asks me once we start driving

"We're going to the doctor, because Hiccup got a big ouchie" I explain

"Hiccupy okay?" He asks and his little face is full of concern

"Well....." I think of a way to sugarcoat the situation to a one year old "The doctors will make him feel better" I say

"Okay" He says then lets out a big yawn

"You get some sleep okay, Dusty?" I smile at him

"Okay....." He closes his eyes, holding on tightly to his teddy, and soon his little snores fill up the car. 

He's still asleep once we reach the hospital so I carry him inside. Nurses rushed Hiccup inside a room yet again, and a nurse directs me and Dustin to a room. I'm guessing Stoick called the hospital as soon as Throk told him what happened. I wake Dustin up and let him sit on the bed while we waited. Couple minutes pass and someone walks in, does a quick check up on Dustin, then tells me all is good.

"Thank you, doc" I smile

"Your child is very healthy ma'am" He says as he leaves the room

"I- He's not-" I stop myself from talking since the guy already left. We hear a knock on the door and both of our heads turn to it as it opens

"DADDY!" Dustin shout and puts his hands out for his Dad

"Dustin!" Stoick exclaims and pulls him in a tight, yet gentle hug, "Astrid, I have news for you" He says putting Dustin back down on the bed and motions for me to come closer. "Hiccup's in surgery again. The cut hit his bone, and they have to amputate the lower part of his leg" He tells me quietly 

"He'll be okay though, right?" I ask

"Aye, he'll be needed a prosthetic though" He sighs 

"Oh Hiccup, I swear that knucklehead always gets in trouble" I shake my head

"I couldn't agree more!" Stoick laughs "He's as stubborn as I was when I was his age" He adds shaking his head "Anyway, I'll stay here with Hiccup. You go home and rest Astrid. Come over to our place and stay with Dustin" He says handing me a key

"Okay, tell me if anything happens here" I say picking Dustin up, and Stoick nods

Another week passes and just like Stoick said they amputated part of Hiccup's leg. Every morning Hiccup and I go for a quick walk around the neighborhood to help him get used to his leg. Stoick hasn't allowed Hiccup to leave the house alone again after these recent events, so Hiccup's been stuck with me the whole week, and we both have no problem with that. 

"Hey I just realized something" Hiccup said, and he paused in the act of unlocking the door

"What?" I ask

"We still have a wedding to plan" He smiles, then proceeds to open the door

"Oh Thor! That's right" I say smacking my hand on my forehead 

"Don't tell me you forgot Milady?" Hiccup asks while closing the door, then headed to the kitchen

"It's just that so many things have happened this past two weeks! I can't believe it slipped my mind" I say getting myself a glass of water. Hiccup was laughing at me while checking his texts when his expression suddenly changed from smiling to serious. "What is it?" I ask

"Throk just messaged me. They've caught Arthur" He says, sighing in disbelief 

"That's great news! You're finally safe Hiccup!" I say peeking over his shoulder to see the message

"We can finally start properly planning that wedding of ours!" He says, suddenly picking me up and twirling me around, laughing

"What's with all this happiness at this hour?" Stoick asks laughing at the sight of us

"Dad, Throk caught Arthur!" Hiccup says, putting me back down

"They did?!" He checks his phone, "They did!" He exclaims 

"Me and Astrid can finally plan our wedding" Hiccup says smiling so big

"Right, the wedding. Somehow forgot about that" Stoick says rubbing the back of his neck

"Oh, don't worry I forgot momentarily too" I say laughing 

Hiccup's POV:
Me, my Dad, and Astrid chat in the living room about our wedding, while Dustin's playing with his cars on the ground

"So, where do you want your wedding to be?' My Dad asks

"The cove" Me and Astrid say at the same time, and we look at each other laughing

"Noted, and who's decorating?" My Dad asks after writing something down

"Ruff and Tuff can do that, right?" Astrid says looking at me

"Yeah, they can. We can trust them to not do anything drastic......I hope" I say

"So, Thorston and Thorston events planner, for decorating" My Dad says while writing that down "Guests?" he asks

"Close friends and family" I say, and look at Astrid who was nodding

"Excellent, last thing. Date?" He asks

"After Snoggletog" Astrid says

"You sure? Snoggletog is the busiest time of the year, and it's only a month away" My Father says

"We're sure, Dad. Everything's bound to be ready before then" I say 

"Alright, I'll fix up the food and cake then" He says while getting up

"Perfect" I say while he disappears up the stairs

Dustin asks me to play with him, so I do. Astrid's sitting on the couch watching on her phone. Toothless comes and walks to Dustin, knocking down the duplo tower we built. 

"Toothy! You make tower fall!" Dustin scolds Toothless, and he just licks his face making Dustin laugh "Okay, you forgiven" He says then starts stacking the blocks up again. Toothless curls up next to Dustin, and watches him stack the blocks.

Later that evening, after Astrid left, Dad decided to do a bbq in the backyard. He was busy grilling meat while me and Dustin were playing yet again

"Hiccupy, you love Asty?" He asks randomly while playing

"I- Why are you asking?" I ask back, curious to know what made him ask this

"You kiss her like Daddy does to Mama in picture" He explains

"What picture?" I ask, and he grabs my hand, dragging me back inside the house and points at our parents picture they took on their wedding day. 

"Dat one" He says

"Ohhh, yeah I do love Astrid, just like Daddy did Mom" I sigh looking at the picture. I miss her.

"Boys! The food's ready!" Dad shouts from the backyard, and me and Dustin race over there

(A/N: Okay, I kinda don't like this chapter just bc it feels short and uneventful, but hey fillers are needed sometimes lol. I like to picture their wedding being so magical especially with it being in the cove)
