It's You And Me, Always

Family

"I can't tell if there's one or two" She said quietly, holding up a pregnancy test. Hiccup was speechless for a minute before he replied

"There's two" He whispered, staring at the test, "There's two!" He exclaimed, picking her up and spinning her around. 

"I'm pregnant" Astrid said, tears of happiness spilling from her eyes

"Are we gonna tell our parents?" Hiccup asked, wiping away her tears

"As much as I want to tell them, I want to make sure first, so I booked a doctors appointment" she replied

"Now?" He asked, quite shocked 

"Yeah, we could drop Zephyr off at your Dad's, then be back there before dinner starts" She said 

"Okay, I mean we have time to spare don't we? But are we gonna tell them today?" He asked

"No, I want to tell them in a special way, and besides I want to explain it to Zephyr first" She said, smiling

So after dropping Zephyr at Stoick's house, Hiccup and Astrid quickly went to the doctors, and they had discovered that not only was Astrid pregnant, but she was already a month in! 

"What?-" Astrid asked, sitting up on the bed

"Yep, look here you can tell that the baby's already a month old in there" The doctor said, pointing at the ultrasound, and I let out a breath in surprise, "Congratulations" She said, then walked out to give me and Astrid a moment

"Astrid...this....this is amazing" Hiccup said, running a hand through his hair. He was still in complete shock of finding out that his wife is pregnant

"I know! Now, we better hurry to your Dad's place. We don't wanna be late" She said, and with that we left

When we arrived, we were welcomed by two small figures running at us

"MAMA, DADA!!" One of them exclaimed

"HICCUP, ASTRID!" Exclaimed the other

"Dustyyy! Zeph!" Hiccup and Astrid said at the same time, pulling the two kids in for a tight hug

"Son, you made it just in time! Me and Barnaby were about to start grilling!" Stoick said, placing an arm around his son

"I think I'll pass, Dad" Hiccup muttered, after being freed from his Father's grasp. Grilling wasn't his thing even though he was an excellent chef

They sat together in the backyard, exchanging stories, and enjoying each others company. Zephyr and Dustin were playing with Toothless and Stormfly, while all the adults were chatting. They would've gone chatting for hours if it weren't for the two kids complaining that they were sleepy, so with that everyone headed home. Once Hiccup and Astrid had Zephyr ready for bed, they decided that they'd tell her 

"Hey, Zeph instead of a story tonight mommy and daddy have something big to tell you" Astrid said, as she sat down next to Zephyr in her bed

"Okay" She replied, rubbing her eyes, "What is it?" 

The couple exchanged a look before Hiccup spoke, "Well, what do you think about having a little brother or sister?" He asked, sitting down on the edge of her bed

"I like that! Me and Dusty get to have someone else to play with!" She said, excitedly 

"So what if we told you that there's a baby in mommy's tummy right now?" Astrid asked, placing a hand on her stomach, where the baby would be, and Zephyr looked at Astrid's stomach, curiously 

"How does a baby fit in there?" She asked, clearly confused 

"Well, right now the baby is as small as a grain of rice. The baby will grow in mommy's tummy that's why they're gonna be in there for 8 whole months" Hiccup explained

"Wow, baby's so tiny! Was I that tiny?" Asked Zephyr, who was always quick to catch on things

"Yep, you were a tinyyyy baby, but now you're a big girl right?" Astrid asked, and tickled Zephyr

"Mommy stop!" Zephyr exclaimed, while laughing

"Okay, now goodnight" Astrid said, giving her a kiss on her forehead

"Goodnight, monkey" Hiccup said, tucking her in

"I'm not a monkey daddy. I'm a big girl" The child replied, rubbing her eyes, before slowly falling asleep

The two watched their daughter sleep peacefully before heading off to bed themselves

"I can't wait for this next kid" Hiccup said, plopping down on bed

"Me either, and I have a feeling this one's another girl" Astrid said, placing her hand on her stomach again

"Really? I think it's a boy" Hiccup replied, kissing her stomach before resting his head on his pillow

"Oh so do you wanna bet?" Astrid, who was always so competitive, asked

"Sure, if it's a boy you're gonna have to change all of the poopy diapers for a month" He said, smirking

"Well, if it's a girl, and I know it will be a girl, you're cleaning Stormfly's litter box for a month" She replied back

"Deal, but whatever the gender of our baby, I'll still love it the same" He assured her

"Me too" She said, and with that they both fell asleep
