FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JEliseWilliams FOR GIVING ME SOME IDEAS ON WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT! THANK YOU!
ANYWAYS LET'S CONTINUE WHERE WE LEFT OFF, SHALL WE?...

*unedited*

Astrid

I was still grasping my stomach for dear life as I looked down ashamed.

"please you can't tell Hiccup!" I beg Fishlegs, who is looking at me with shame covering his face.

"but Astrid, he's your fiancé, how could you do this to him?" he asked me. A tear fell down my cheek, it landed softly on my stomach as I traced small circles on it  lightly with my fingers.

"I didn't," I whisper but loud enough for him to hear.

"but you obviously did!" he exclaims gesturing to my stomach.

"I wasn't finished!" I snap glaring at him, "I-I was-" but I was cut off as the doors opened and I was captivated in somebody's arms. But I'd know that touch anywhere. I mouth to Fishlegs not to tell him, as he nods slightly before walking out.

"I-I was so worried! After the gang didn't come back I went searching for you and I couldn't find you and then one of the villagers said you were here and-" I cut him off by pressing my lips against his. "I'm so sorry Astrid," he said, as we broke apart and he pulled me into a tight hug.

"it's alright," I felt the guilt tearing me apart as I tried to hold the tears back

"no it's not!" he sighed kneeling beside the bed and holding my hands in his. "I should have stopped you, I should have gone looking for you, I should of-"

"HICCUP!"

"What?"

"it's ok," he sighs with relief before his face turns serious again.

"is it true?" I turn away from him, I was too ashamed of the truth, did he know that I was pregnant? Unless, Gothi!

"yes..." I whisper.

"y-you're engaged to Claud?!" oh thank the gods, he doesn't know yet... 

"yes, but that was a long time ago, I thought he was dead and then I found you and... everything changed," I sighed. Hiccup cups my cheeks with his hands,  making me face him again.

"I love you Astrid, you know that right? no matter what, I will always love you, even if you do choose Claud-"

"Hiccup! I will never choose Claud! It was an arranged marriage, I never loved him..."

"well that lifts a whole new weight off of my shoulders!" he chuckles as he sits beside me taking me into his warm embrace. I frown a little at that, I am a liar, a cheater. I love Hiccup with all my heart, but I know that if I want to make his life any better, I will have to leave, I can't have him heartbroken, but I want to do something first, before I leave.

"Hiccup?"

"mmm"

"can we get married, soon?"

"whatever you wish, how about next month?"

"no, I was thinking more like, I don't know, maybe, tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?!"

"yes, I know it's a bit rushed but I just want to make it eternal, so that we will always be together, in here," I pat his heart.

"you already are," I lean back snuggling my head into his chest, as his chest rises up and down soothingly. "but I think that tomorrow is perfect,"

"thank you," I kiss him lightly on the lips as I snuggle closer and soon fall asleep.
