Epilogue...will be short and sweet :)

"Honey?" They were lying in their bed, just being with each other.

She loved when he called her endearments. She dived into his chest, edging under his arm. Yes, Astrid Hofferson loved to snuggle. It's not what most people would have expected, but Hiccup loved it. He was a little fond of snuggling himself.

"Hmm?" she said into his chest. It sort of tickled. He had to force himself to think straight, to not grab her and kiss her as long as he could before he had to breathe. "You know, this is our week anniversary."

"Hmm, it is," she murmured, her legs rubbing against his ankles.

"And, um, not to ruin the moment, but Toothless…"

She was breathing in his ear and he couldn't focus. Her hair tickled his neck. "Toothless wants back in!" he blurted out. There. "He's kind of having separation anxiety, y'know. It's been a whole week. And he hates sleeping outside."

Astrid ran her hand up and down his arm. He tried to concentrate. Toothless was already feeling neglected, he couldn't kick him out for another week. He is a Viking! He can handle his wife!

Turns out he didn't have to.

Toothless crashed through their window, throwing glass everywhere. Hiccup groaned. "Toothless, do you know how long it took to put those panes in?" Toothless huffed, growled, and curled up on the end of the bed. You took too long.

Hiccup smiled and started scratching his jaw. Astrid rolled her eyes and resettled under his arm. "You know, we're going to have an issue if our kids ever have nightmares. There is no way anyone else can fit on this bed."

A Terror fluttered through the broken window and settled on Astrid's side.

"I stand corrected."

End Notes: 43 pages on Microsoft and 53 reviews... the response to this has been phenominal. Thank you all! I really enjoyed writing this: laughing, crying, having writer's block and all! I'll always remember how this gave me my first review.

And so ends this tale.
