Learn to let go - Part 2

"Aaaaand I think that's my queue to gooooo..." Gobber said, putting his apron on again and went back into the blacksmith cabin.
"Oh Thor help me..." Hiccup whispered under his breath before going walking towards the sound of his loving wife.
He was in for some serious talking.

"Care to explain to me why Zephyr had just run in the hut, crying her eyes out and telling me it was all your fault?" Astrid stood with her arms crossed, staring at Hiuccp who had just closed the door and uncomfortably wondered in.
Hiccup sat down in his chair as Astrid continued.
"So are you going to tell Me? Or am I gonna have to get my axe?" She said.
He sighed.
"Zephyr came to talk to me during the meeting and said that apparently a bit had asked her out?" He said looking a this wife.
"She did?" Astrid asked amazed.
"Yeah she did"
"That's... that's amazing!" Astrid laughed happily.
Hiccup turned to his wife in shock. "What do you mean "amazing"! She's too young!"
"Hiccup she's practically our age when we properly met eachother..."
"That doesn't matter Astrid, she's too young for this, she's... she's not ready for all these relationships and meeting boys..."
Astrid looked at Hiccup and could tell he wasn't telling the truth... at least what he was actually trying to say.
"That's not all... is it babe?" She sat down next to him, grabbing hold of his hand.
He sighed and waited a while before he spoke.
"I just... don't think I'm ready to let go of Zeph yet..." he said sadly.
"What do you mean?"
"She's growing up and I can't do anything about it. Soon she'll be training to be the next Chieftess of Berk, have boyfriends, get married and leave us behind. I want to be able to go back to the days where I could... hold her in my arms as a baby, help her take her first steps, her first words and play around with her little toy axe trying to hit Snotlout..." they both chuckled at the last part.
"Babe, you knew this day was going to come, she's still gonna be your little girl no matter what even when she's our age and we are old... same as our little boy! We will officially be old when Nuffink has a girlfriend and has left us... That's being old... but of course I miss all those days to, I remember all of those memories as though Zephyr and Nuffink were born yesterday. But they'll always be our little babies no matter what."
"I know... thank you m'lady... what would I do without you..." he whispered, kissing his wife's temple as they snuggled up together.
"I'm not so sure... but I think it's time you had a little chat with your little girl huh?"
