How To Mend A Broken Heart 2

Epilogue

Several years later...

You are awaken by lips being pressed gently on the back of your neck, and you sigh softly in content.

"Good morning."

You hum, eyes still closed. "Good morning, indeed."

Hiccup's lips trail soft kisses in its wake, turning you softly onto your back so that he's leaning over you.

He plants a small kiss to your lips, but you turn away moments later. "Morning breath."

"Like that stopped us before," he teasingly smiles. He softly trails his fingers down your arm, leaving a chill, "You think the children are awake?"

"They are awake."

Hiccup shakes his head, "I don't hear them." Hiccup leans down to lay soft kisses down your neck. "I think we have a little time."

You smile, eyes closed when you hear the soft pitter patter of footsteps. "Or maybe not."

The door swings open with a great whoosh, the door knocking against the wall as the children run and jump on the bed.

"Good Morning," you greet them with a smile, sitting up as Hiccup does as well.

"Finn..." Hiccup starts off warningly.

"Rona wouldn't listen to me!" Finn complains, pointing at his little five year old sister. "I told her not to come in here but she did anyway!"

"I wanted to see you!" Rona explains in a defensive tone.

"That's all right, dear." You kiss her cheek. "Listen to Finn next time, okay?"

Rona is like an exact replica of Hiccup, she has his eyes, freckles, and the color of his hair. But her personality is a mixture of you both. She so curious about everything and she never afraid to face new challenges.

Finn has your eyes and hair, but Hiccup's skin tone and build. He's more like Hiccup, more cautious yet so curious. He loves weapons though, but only the small ones. But Hiccup refuses to let him have any.

Rona scrowls at her eight year old brother but nods nontheless.

"Okay, how about you both go and wait at the table while we get ready. And then we'll eat, hm?" You raise your brow at them.

They nod and wordlessly climb off the bed and shut the door behind themselves when they exit the room.

You pat Hiccup's knee as you shift to get out of bed, "Looks like no pleasure for you this morning."

Hiccup frowns, one of the many facial features that he and Rona share. But it quickly lifts in a smile when he hears your laughter.

"Nana Val! Nana Val!"

"Oh!" Valka laughs when Rona and Finn run up to greet her at the table.

"Hey! What about me?" Gobber asks the children with a smile.

"Hi, Gobber!" Rona and Finn greet simultaneously. Rona chambers up into Valka's lap while Finn sits himself beside Gobber.

Rona reaches into her pocket and pulls out a handful of small seashells. "Yesterday we went and found she-shells!"

"Seashells." Hiccup corrects her as you both sit down at the table.

"That's what I said!" Rona exclaims before rambling excitedly to Valka as she shows off her seashells proudly.

"That's definitely your daughter, Hiccup," Gobber's belly jiggles as he laughs.

Hiccup rolls his eyes, "You sure that's me? [Name]'s got some sass that can last her a lifetime."
