Guest - well, for starters her name was Laya, not Layla. I didn't put a great deal of thought into her name, just picked something four letters long to match Mala to be perfectly honest. But... if you want to rename what was basically a plot point that's no longer important, go ahead?

54 - Your review actually surprised me (not the no Berk bit), because generally Hiccstrid shippers are very angry people.

In fact, props to every Hiccstrid shipper who reads Valcup! Not that the angry ones aren't funny, I just find myself pleasantly surprised that y'all aren't foaming at the mouth at the idea there's more than Hiccstrid in the world.

Upon deep discussions over inbox, this will end on this chapter but if I need (personally, writing is a compulsion to me) to write a return to Berk thing I'll put it up as a sequel - if you just want this little bubble of Valcup and dragons, then you can.

-HTTYD-

Valka woke sore and satisfied, pleasantly warm despite her nudity thanks to the firm body next to her. The reason for her waking was Hiccup, nose buried in her neck, soft kisses with a few little licks.

"Morning."

"Mhmm. I like waking up with you. Feels good. You smell nice."

Hiccup nuzzled further in, hand exploring her bare skin as he kissed her neck where he had left bruises. Valka wasn't sure what it was he liked about her scent, but he seemed happy to keep enjoying it while she just laid there appreciating his touch.

He crawled on top of her soon enough, kissing her thoroughly - it may have said something about how frequently they kissed that Hiccup was already losing his clumsiness - and sliding his erection against her clit. Her hands grabbed at his upper arms for something to hold on to as heat rushed through her, Hiccup's slow thrusts against her building steam between her thighs and easing the slide of his shaft with her slick.

Valka could do little more than lay there and take it, try to keep up with his hot kisses while she forgot how to breathe.

"Love you mom."

Valka knew she should feel guilty hearing those words, but he was smiling, happy and quite clearly confident enough to instigate their contact already. Instead, she widened her thighs in invitation, loving the way Hiccup's breath hitched and he groaned softly against her mouth. The sounds were repeated as they both reached to guide him inside her, the slow push enough to take her breath away.

Lazy morning sex had seemed a distant dream only days ago, but Hiccup's slow, sure strokes inside her were a beautiful surprise. He toyed with her nipple with curious fingers, hips pushing deeper in response to Valka's moans and gasps. Hiccup was still learning how this sort of pleasure worked and what to do with it, but his overwhelmed senses only seemed to spur him on as he bit lightly at her collarbone, ran a hand down her side to pull her leg up higher. The angle shift was sublime, thrusts dragging his swollen head across that sensitive spot that made her legs shake every time.

"Gods Hiccup, you make me feel so good."

"The pleasure is all mine."

Valka would have argued, but Hiccup's fingers had slid down to press against her clit and she forgot what she was going to say, becoming little more than a receptacle for pleasure and making sounds she probably would have been embarrassed about if she could think.

Hiccup stilled his hips as he pressed flush to her, staying as deep as he could as Valka came around him and watching with hungry eyes as she writhed beneath him. His intense stare only made her burn hotter, feeling the rush of him wanting her. Instead of filling her as she so wanted, Hiccup slid free of her body still hard and coated in her release. Before she could try to speak through a throat raw from Odin-knows how much noise, Hiccup gripped his erection.

A few strokes and tugs was all it took for him to come, heat painting her skin as he threw his head back and made a low, gravelled sound of exhilaration. When he looked back at her, Hiccup was smirking.

"I like how that looks. Is that bad?"

Valka was torn between wanting him to come inside her, share that intimate connection and how gods-damn hot it was to feel him cover her in his come, the heat and the claim and just watching him.

"Not bad, just... messy."

"So you don't mind?"

It was difficult to be coy and suggestive with Hiccup, who was blunt and curious.

"No, but I like to feel you inside me too."

Hiccup thought on that for a minute, his climax cooling on her belly as he surveyed her before smiling.

"I won't do it all the time then."

She was almost disappointed. Mostly ravenous, as Hiccup managed to use up great reserves of energy before they even got out of bed. He hopped out of her - or rather, their bed - grinning, already having breakfast done by the time Valka had regretfully cleaned the sticky mess from her skin.

With many of the dragons choosing mates and nests, they didn't have much to do other than tend to their sick and injured. Hiccup was understanding that Toothless was busy with Stormfly, but Valka could see how much he appreciated the flight when they were out for the daily fish-fall with the Bewilderbeast. They took turns bouncing around over the updrafts atop the dragons, until Hiccup managed to catch her and kiss her atop a sturdy Windgnasher.

Cheeks flushed with the cold air, he couldn't seem to stop smiling. He rubbed a wind-chapped thumb over her equally cold cheek and kissed her again, softer, sweeter. Hiccup had never struggled to express his feelings, and that seemed to translate to their physical relationship too. Valka felt her stomach flutter pleasantly, sliding her arms around his neck and playing her fingers in the tips of his hair where it hung around his shoulders.

"I love you."

The dragons floated all around them, creating the feeling of a bubble world that only contained them and their dragons. It was pretty accurate actually, now she thought about it.

"I love you too Hiccup."

He beamed, kissing her again and then leaping off the dragon they were stood on into empty air. Valka almost worried until Toothless swooped in to catch him, Cloudjumper gliding alongside for Valka to land on. They flew back home, resting from dinner and flying in comfortable clothing, Hiccup's fingers occasionally sweeping through her hair or brushing against her cheek.

"I like this."

"Me too son."

Hiccup sighed happily, kissed her periodically and eventually gave into the want to explore beneath her clothes, tongue leaving wet, warm stripes over her skin. Apparently even making it to their bed was too far away as Hiccup pulled off her leggings and stroked between her thighs, fingers pressing inside her to check she was ready now he understood that she grew wet to ease his journey.

A couple of nearby dragons huffed and left, but otherwise didn't really seem to care about the humans mating by the firepit. Hiccup shoved his own leggings down to free his swollen cock, pressing against her with needy sounds and burying himself in her eager body. Valka could feel a hint of soreness return as Hiccup's thick cock stretched her open, but it was a sort of welcome pain, telling her that her boy was as close to her as two Vikings could be.

"Does this" Hiccup pushed a hand up beneath her shift, squeezing her breast "ever stop feeling so good?"

Valka's only precious experience had been three years married to Stoick, and she had been pregnant within a year and a half but that had probably been down to luck more than regularity. She couldn't honestly remember it being this good, but she wondered if that had anything to do with the taboo of making love to her son.

"That depends on the-ohhh" her words caught on a moan when Hiccup tweaked her nipple, pleasure darting through her "on the people."

Hiccup let it slide, probably because his mind was on more important matters like speeding the motions of his hips, thrusting harder into her and groaning against her chest where his head fell forward as he lost himself in the feelings. He leant back on his next few thrusts, watching her reactions and digging his nails into the soft flesh on the back of her hips. Valka jerked, body jolting from the bolts of pleasure-pain she got when he was just a little rougher with her.

He didn't pull out this time, filling her deep and hot when they found their peaks of pleasure in the others bodies. Valka basked in the feelings, the intimacy of him inside her in every way he could be. As the distraction began to ease, Valka was aware of a few oebblese digging into her back, the fact the floor was not really designed for laying down with a human's weight atop her.

There was no discussion about it, Hiccup crawling into bed next to her and and entwining their limbs. She stayed awake to watch him sleep for a while, seeing hints of Stoick in the sides of his jaw, the shape of his ears but otherwise, Hiccup looked very much like her. Brushing a kiss over his smooth forehead, Hiccup hummed happily in his sleep and burrowed closer to her. He was hers.

"So... we have to not kiss and stuff while with the Defenders?"

"That's right Hiccup."

"But... I like kissing you. I like touching you."

"I understand that Hiccup, and I like those things too" she placed her hands on his cheeks, making Hiccup look up into her beautiful eyes "but it's not for them to know."

Hiccup frowned, disliking the idea that after near a year where he could kiss his mother whenever he pleased he had to stop.

"What about in our tent at night?"

"Hiccup..."

He felt like there was a 'no' coming, so Hiccup cut his losses and changed his question.

"Can I still sleep with you?"

"Of course."

He still didn't understand, but at least he could sleep with his mom. She was nice to sleep with, all warm and cosy and smelling good.

"Wait. Who am I gonna fly on? Toothless is busy. Do we have to go?"

"You want to see the Eruptadon baby don't you?"

Damn. He did.

"Fine. Still, I need a dragon."

"Fly Incognito, he's been dying to get out more."

An invisible object touched Hiccup's hand, but he knew immediately that it was the Changewing his mother named Incognito, hoping to be told he could come.

"It's a long flight Ig, are you up to it?"

"Yesssss."

Hiccup understood his simple, eager answer. Patting the dragon, Hiccup headed out to where Toothless and Stormfly were sat with their babies, only hatched two months back after it took Stormfly a long time to become egg-bearing.

"We'll only be gone a few days. You take care of your hatchlings, ok?"

Toothless licked his face, warbling quietly.

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too bud. And you little guys."

Moon and Star, the two hatchling Night Furies, both squealed excitably up at him when Hiccup rubbed their little scaled heads.

"I'll see you soon. You did great Stormfly."

"Thank you human."

Standing back up, Hiccup returned to where his mother, Cloudjumper and Incognito were waiting. Valka let him pull her close to kiss her, knowing his chances would be limited when they were visiting with Mala and her tribe to see the newly hatched Eruptadon. She moaned softly into his mouth and clutched him back in return, bodies flush for a minute or two before Cloudjumper grumbled in complaint. They pulled apart panting, noses rubbing against each others before separating properly.

"We better go. Ready Incognito?"

The Changewing nodded, showing off his invisibility in a shimmering wave that almost made him look like two separate halves of a dragon. He bowed his head to let Hiccup on him, barely waiting for the riders to put on helmets before he and Cloudjumper took off into the air.

Hiccup loved flying, though it was a little odd not to be flying Toothless for so long. He missed his dragon. Ig was lovely to volunteer for him though. He already missed being able to kiss his mother, and it had only been a few minutes since he had. He couldn't even steal a few kisses now, since they both had their helmets on and were flying separate dragons.

He forgot about them stopping for a quick eat-and-drink for them and the dragons, where Hiccup indulged his need to kiss Valka for several minutes before he let her eat. Her wide eyes and flushed cheeks spoke volumes about how much she had needed it too, sharing smiles over spit-roasted fish. Hiccup felt much better when they saddled their dragons and continued on.

"Hiccup Haddock! Valka Haddock! We were beginning to worry!"

"Sorry Mala, my dragon and his mate had trouble with their eggs so we couldn't just up and leave."

"Perfectly understandable."

Hiccup smiled at Mala, who's eyes kept turning up toward the mountain.

"How's the baby?"

"Doing just fine. We will visit when you and your dragons have fed and rested."

Hiccup nodded, knowing better than to argue with the queen. Especially with Throk following her around at all times, ensuring respect and safety toward his Queen. They dined with Mala and the others, drinking sagefruit wine and feeling pleasantly full and warm by the end of it.

Casting a look to the beautiful woman to his right, Hiccup noticed his mother frowning at her drink.

"You ok mom?"

"Fine, just got a slightly sour fruit in this one I think."

Hiccup took a sip, pouting in thought.

"Tastes fine to me. Maybe you're overdoing it, you might need sleep."

"Mmm, perhaps. First I want to see the hatchling."

Hiccup didn't think anything of grabbing his mothers hand as they made their way up the path to the Eruptadon, and she didn't let him go either. A few of the soldiers gave them slightly strange looks, but Hiccup paid it little mind. They hadn't grown up with only one other person. They didn't love each other like Hiccup and Valka did.

"Oh wow, look how tiny!"

They bowed to the Eruptadon, who huffed and moved to let them greet the babe. He was about the size of a Terrible Terror, which was minuscule for such a big dragon as an adult but utterly adorable.

"Humans! Humans!"

The baby squealed, trotting over to where Hiccup and Valka knelt down and warbling painfully but happily when stroked. The older dragon would use their tail to push lava into where the baby could get it, earning joyful sounds from the hatchling.

"Whaddya know, the baby is happy to have friends."

"Really?"

The Defenders looked to Hiccup as a translator, being the only one who could understand the way dragons spoke, even if he couldn't all the time.

"Yep. Likes humans, loves lava."

Valka was currently giving the hefty boulder dragon babe a cuddle, and it was the sweetest sight. Hiccup wondered if they would ever have babies, but he wasn't sure how they could take care of one with all the dragons. He supposed his mother had taken care of him with all the dragons there, so it was possible. Maybe he would ask her about it when they got back home.

"Well, lucky there's plenty of both for you eh little one?"

"This one is huff-grr-roargh."

Hiccup squinted, somehow expecting it to make the baby to speak more clearly as it wiggled its tail to Valka.

"Can you repeat that?"

"The female. Mated to you!"

"Oh. Uh, yes, I suppose that is true."

"What's he saying?"

"Just that it's hot up here by a volcano."

Both dragons gave Hiccup looks that said they knew he was lying, but he could hardly explain himself to them. Dragons understood human speech well enough that even if he could, Hiccup had never had cause to learn to talk like them. He just learnt to listen.

They headed back down to let mama and baby sleep - though Hiccup was sure until the Eruptadon laid an egg, it had been referred to as 'he' - and the stroll through the beginnings of evening was quite pleasant. Except... Hiccup noticed his mother looking a little green. It wasn't the height - she was a dragon rider... It could be the heat, he supposed.

Out of nowhere, she leant over the side of the path and heaved. Hiccup couldn't remember the last time she had actually been sick, and so he became immediately concerned.

"Mom? What's wrong?"

Valka resurfaced, wiping her mouth and looking more embarrassed than sick now.

"Terribly sorry, I don't know where that came from."

"Let's hope it wasn't the food, or we shall all be unwell! Do you require assistance Miss Valka?"

She shook her head, instead placing two fingers in her mouth and whistling. Cloudjumper appeared within a minute, letting her climb up onto his back. They continued on down like that, Hiccup barely a foot from the dragon the whole time. Mala shooed many of them away and escorted Valka to the medical tent - rather forcefully - but turned to a panicked Hiccup.

"Would you wait outside Hiccup Haddock? The business of women is not yours."

Frowning, Hiccup looked over to his mother. She smiled tightly, then nodded at him.

"I'll be fine son. Go wait with the dragons."

Not the slightest bit happy about being ejected, Hiccup went outside to Incognito and Cloudjumper. They both huffed when Valka didntw appear after him, forming a slightly strange vigil as Hiccup strained his ears to eavesdrop.

"It's not the food, is it?"

"I fear not Valka Haddock. When was your last cycle?"

Hiccup wracked his brain but couldn't work out what Mala was asking. What cycle? The only cycles they had were dragon heats and the moon.

"They've been irregular for most of the last year now, so I couldn't be definitive but I would guess... three months ago."

"Forgive my prying but... the father?"

Who's father? Hiccup almost stumbled and gave himself away in his eagerness to listen harder.

"Mala..."

"It's not... is it?"

"I haven't told him. I don't think he knew what he was doing, in fact I suspect he was asleep. Hiccup would never hurt me."

Mala sighed, but didn't say anything immediate about whatever his mother was insinuating. Of course Hiccup would never hurt her.

"Well, he's going to know soon. Firstly... I suppose we should do the standard tests, be certain."

"I suppose. Permit me just to rinse out my mouth first."

He heard shuffling about in the medical tent, stepping back to perch on a log in case anybody came out. Nobody did, so he crept back up to listen in. He heard a new voice, probably the medic.

"Here's the seeds."

What, were they cooking in there now? Testing his mothers farming skills?

"Would you mind turning away?"

"Of course."

A strange watery sound came from the tent, then a sigh and rustling fabric.

"I'd wager this is only going to tell us what we already know. Get some rest, drink plenty of water and think about what you're going to tell your son."

"Would you like seperate sleep areas? I wouldn't want you to feel unsafe Valka."

No! Hiccup didn't know how he could possibly sleep without her now.

"Thank you Mala, but no. As I said, Hiccup would never hurt me."

He skittered back, sitting and attempting to look bored of waiting as he heard footsteps, heart lifting when his mother reappeared.

"Mom! Are you ok?"

She smiled when she saw him, allowed Hiccup to hug her. He felt eyes on them but ignored it, waiting to hear what she said.

"I'm fine Hiccup. Just need some rest."

"Well it is bedtime."

That usually had a different meaning, but Hiccup accepted that they weren't to do things while visiting with Mala and her tribe. He would settle for sleeping next to her for now.

"I'll see you first thing after breakfast Valka."

The healer's tone suggested argument would be futile, so Valka nodded and let Hiccup lead her to their tent. He wanted to ask what had happened in there, but didn't get much chance as his mother kissed him the second the front flap had fallen closed. Hiccup responded quickly, grabbing handfuls of her tunic to keep her close. When they pulled apart to breathe, he couldn't help whispering.

"I thought we couldn't-"

"Don't make a sound."

Hiccup fell silent, trying not to whimper when a knowing hand squeezed his groin, found him wanting. Their clothes came off in a frantic fumble, but before he could try to touch his mother, she pushed him to sit on the edge of a log, kneeling on the ground. Hiccup had to bite his lip hard enough to draw blood, the only way possible for him to not cry out as a hot mouth enveloped his cock.

Bright green eyes sparkled up at him, her thin lips curved into a smirk around his shaft as his mother went down on him, fingers teasing the base and rubbing gently at his sack to increase the stimulation. She looked so damn seductive, feral and hungry as she sucked his cock and moaned softly around him when Hiccup placed a hand on her head, thrusting gently so as not to hurt her but needing more.

He hated that he couldn't speak, dying to praise the pleasure she was giving him. At least he was now confident she liked to swallow his climax, so Hiccup didn't need to warn her he was about to come. He had to cover his mouth to muffle his cries as he spilled, feeling her swallowing around him, not losing a drop as his hips jerked threw the last few spurts.

She even licked her lips as he fell free of her mouth, savouring his taste and it was the hottest thing, making his spent cock twitch. Hiccup could smell her arousal as she stood up, thighs slick and wet and tempting. He almost leapt on her there and then, but waited to see his mother lay neck on the bed furs, nude and comfortable as she beckoned Hiccup over.

The first swipe of his tongue had Valka biting the pillow, quieting her moans as Hiccup went down on her hungrily. When he looked up, she was playing with her breasts, palming herself and Hiccup felt himself harden and leak at the sight. Gods, she was so sensual, so erotic. Pushing his fingers inside her as he swirled his tongue lazily in the way he knew she liked, Hiccup was gratified to hear her moan into the pillow, feel her arch her hips up to seek more pressure from his mouth. He knew when she came without her saying a word now, feeling her thighs tighten in time with her drenching his hand.

The quivers of her muscles were a beautiful sight to Hiccup, who loved to watch his mother writhe in the throes of pleasure he gave her. They kissed deeply, slowly and just enjoyed the tactile pleasure of their bare bodies pressing together intimately. The mood began to shift when she felt him hard against her soft belly, smirking and pressing fingers to his lips to tell him to stay quiet as she rolled on her front and lifted that gorgeous ass of hers into the air.

"You need to pull out tonight baby."

Given that Hiccup got a thrill out of seeing her skin covered in his come, he had no cause to argue when she whispered that against his jaw, nosing at his neck the way he did to her. It sort of tickled but also felt rather pleasant, though it wasn't quite as pleasing as the prospect of getting to be inside her when Hiccup had resigned himself to more innocent nights between them.

Hiccup knelt behind her, tracing fingers down to feel her hot, wet and ready for him. She whined into the bedding where she pressed her face, the sound becoming a deep, throaty moan as Hiccup worked himself inside her. Valka's muscles squeezed around him, drawing moans Hiccup had to muffle with his hand as the other held his mothers hip. This silent sexual encounter was already probing a challenge.

She rocked back against him, telling that she was ready for him to move. Hiccup pulled back, sliding home until they were flush again. Gods he would never tire of her like this, receptive and responsive and fitting him so perfectly. Hiccup wanted to lose control, to slam into her until she cried out loud enough for all to hear... but he couldn't.

The slow, deep strokes were intense and amazing in their own way, sinking into her molten heat over and over and Hiccup reveled in the primal act that brought them both such pleasure. The natural compatibility of their bodies only thrilled Hiccup further, pressing into the tight grip of her over and over. His cock swelled within her, warning of his impending release so Hiccup leant forward slightly, reaching around to rub the firm bump that made her scream some nights.

Tonight was little different, and Hiccup would be amazed if nobody had heard Valka even with the cushion to try and silence her, feeling the spasming muscles around him and Hiccup only just managed to remember he had to pull out, lost in her body as he was. White striped along her back as he came, eventually pooling in the little dip just above her cute butt as he panted against his forearm, trying to be as quiet as he could.

Shuddering with the intensity, Hiccup crawled over to their bags, pulling out a piece of cloth to wipe her down with as her body slowly stopped quaking. He could wash it in the morning. They fumbled to redress, no question of whether or not they would sleep in the same bedrolls. Wearing clothes to bed felt odd, but he supposed they didn't want to be walked in on naked.

"Love you mom."

"Love you too Hiccup."

The next morning, she went to the medical tent as requested and Hiccup made himself go and see the baby Eruptadon rather than loiter around. He had all the time in the world just he and Valka... he didn't have so much time with the ever so adorable baby lava eater.

"You got a good thing here huh? People who love you and all the lava you can eat!"

"Good! Good!"

The hatchling was ever-excitable, but amusingly dropped like a stone (no pun intended) when it came to nap time. By then Hiccup was growing hungry, bidding them good day as he and Ig made the trip back down. His mother was sat in their usual spot, chewing on some bread and smiling when she saw Hiccup.

"Had fun?"

"Baby dragon... so, obviously! Is everything alright with you?"

She nodded, but Hiccup could feel eyes on them. Mala was watching them both from her high seat, biting an apple with a thoughtful expression.

"We'll talk later. Eat son."

Frowning a little, Hiccup didn't feel much like eating all of a sudden. Still, he obediently chewed on the chicken and turnip... thing on his plate, and his mother convinced him quite easily to share her buttery dessert. Hiccup ached to kiss her when she got a little butter on her nose, looking so sweet and alluring but they weren't alone.

"Come walk with me Hiccup."

"Uh, ok. Where are we going?"

"Just... come along son."

Pouting, Hiccup followed her off toward the woods. They walked in relative silence, almost uncomfortable really. Valka kept looking at him strangely, and it began to distress him.

"Mom, you're scaring me. What's going on?"

"Come sit."

Hiccup did so, staring at her face to try and work out what was wrong by her face. He couldn't. He could only tell that she was nervous.

"How would you feel if I told you... that I was going to have a baby?"

-HTTYD-

I was always going to end like this! Of course, if I write the next part it'll be even more awkward. Ah well.

So... I have a bunch of shorts and one shot requests to fill, and in between I'll write Things We Do For Love. Then after that, its Adopted!
