Narrator's POV:
The small Haddock family woke up to the usual cries of their now six month old daughter.

"Your turn, babe" Astrid said sleepily, wrapping her arms around her pillow

"Already on it" said Hiccup, who was sitting up, putting on his prosthetic. He walked over to Zephyr's room, and picked her up. "Good morning, princess" He said, and she stopped crying immediately.

"Dada!" She exclaimed, and Hiccup's eyes grew wide

"W-What did you just-"

"Dada!" She said again, leaning her head against his chest

"Astrid! Astrid! Zeph said her first word!" Hiccup said as he ran to his room to show his wife

"Huh?" She replied, still waking up

"Zephyr called me Dada!" He said excitedly, "C'mon show mommy, Zeph"

"Dada!" She said smiling, as if she was proud of herself being able to say the word

"Oh my gods!" Astrid said, and sat up immediately, "Good job, baby! That's Dada! Can you say mama?" she asked as Hiccup placed Zephyr on the bed next to Astrid

"Mmmama" the little child said, "Mama Mama Mama!" She started to clap her hands, which made her parents laugh

*two and a half years later, Zephyr is 3, Dustin's 5, and Hiccup and Astrid are 25*

Hiccup and Zephyr woke up early to walk Toothless while Astrid slept in. She lay in bed for a while before she suddenly felt nauseous.

"Oh, Thor. What's happening?" She said as she ran to the toilet. Let's just say she was blowing chunks, as Hiccup and Zephyr returned home from their walk.

"We're home, honey!" Hiccup called out as he helped Zephyr take off her coat. Zephyr ran off to play in her room, while Hiccup went to his and Astrid's room. "Astrid? Are you still asleep, milady?" He asked, starting to get a little concerned, spotting their empty bed

"In here, babe!" She called out, then proceeded to blow more chunks

"Astrid! Are you-" He bursted into the toilet

"I'm fine.....I'm fine" She said, wiping her mouth, "Was just a little nauseous, that's all" She said, giving Hiccup a look

"Do you think you're-" His eyes widened

"Well, I don't know for sure" She replied quietly

"Well, if it is what we think it is...I'm happy" Hiccup said, pulling her in for a hug

"Me too" Astrid said, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in for a kiss, they stayed like that for a while before-

"I want cuddles too!" They heard their 3 year old demand, as she ran into their room, and they laughed 

"C'mere you!" Hiccup said, and they all cuddled before getting on with the rest of their day.

Now the Haddocks and Hoffersons were really close, and they meet up every month to catch up with one another in either Stoick's house or the Hoffersons, today they met up at Stoicks'. Hiccup and Astrid were just getting ready to leave, but Astrid had some news for Hiccup first.

"Love, can you come help me?" Astrid called out from their room

"Coming, Milady!" Hiccup called back, "Zeph, stay here with Toothless. I'll be quick" He told his daughter before going up to Astrid, "What do you need, honey?" He asked, walking over to her
