Three: Snow Storm Stories

Snow and wind pounded the giant doors of the great hall as a large clump of people were stuffing inside with their dragons, children and and as much supplies as they could carry. For the people that were already inside, it was a mess of finding an area for their family to occupy. While most of the dragons were cozy in the stables, two of them where by their riders sides.

Toothless stretched as he got up from his place by the fire and trotted over to Hiccup as he helped and an older couple settle in, while directing orders at the twins and Snotlout to go help the others. Hiccup broke away for a second, pinching the bridge of his nose with exhaustion and frustration. It had been three hours since the blizzard are made landfall on Berk and already he was beyond tired. He glanced over to see his wife barking orders at the Berk guard, while holding their five month old baby girl Hilde. He smiled and walked over to her and gently took the giggling baby out of her arms and kissed her on the head.

"Hey pumpkin. How's daddy's favorite little girl?" The baby stared at him and smiled as she reached out with her chubby little fingers and pulled his nose. With a soft chuckle, he kissed his daughters forehead once more before turning back Astrid who was done with her yelling.

"How is everything?" Astrid asked, adjusting her shoulder armor.

"Everyone is coming in okay, and it looks like we have enough supplies to hold everyone for a week or so, but I don't expect the storm to last that long. Are the two of you okay?"

"Beyond tired! Someone kept me up last night." Astrid said smiling at Hilde.

"Everyone is almost in and I can handle everything else. You and Hilde should go to bed. You look like you need it."

"I'm a new mother Hiccup, of course I need it. But I can't leave to do all the wo-"

"As chief of Berk I order you to go to bed!" Hiccup ordered, trying to act all chiefly.

"As general of Berk and your wife, I suggest you don't do that or else you might lose an arm."

Hiccup and Astrid shared a laugh, something they hadn't had time to do in the last couple of days. "All right, all right, I will rest for a little while!" She laughed as Hiccup tickled her side making her hit him with Hilde still in her other arm. Hiccup gave her a quick kiss on the lips and smiled. Astrid turned and walked over to where Stormfly was sleeping and sat down next to her so Stormfly could curl around her. She whispered to Hilde for a minute, when a little girl of the age of five peeked from behind a table and slowly came over with a curious smile. Astrid looked over at the young girl and smiled.

"Can I see your baby?" The little girl asked shyly."

"Of course, come here." Astrid said watching as the little girl moved closer to see Hilde. She gasped and giggled softly as she gazed at the babies smile. "She's so cute!"

"Thank you. What's your name?"

"Angie. I'm five years old!" She exclaimed holding up five fingers.

"Oh my godness you look like you're ten!" Astrid chuckled going along with the girls excitement about her age.

"Are you married to the chief?" The little girl asked, tiliting her head as she asked.

"Yes I am." Astrid said proudly.

"Wow! Can you tell me a story about your adventures!?"

Astrid thought for a moment before answering. "How about this. How about you go get all your friends and kids your age and I will tell everyone a story. Sound okay?"

Angie jumped up nodding and ran off for a few moments, before returning with about eleven other kids her age. They all sat down with their blankets and pillows giggling and talking excitedly about the story. "All right settle down, or else I won't tell the story." Immediately the children quieted and waited for her to began.

" One day about three years ago, the chief, me and the rest of the riders were out on our island dragons edge. It was a dark and gloomy day and storms could be seen in the distance, but Hiccup and I were to busy to notice because we training the large and dangerous dragon, the triple-strike!" The kids gasped and suddenly started asking a million questions about the dragon. "Hold on there. Let me finish the story first." Astrid said shushing them. "We were not making much progress when Fishlegs came and told us that there were BIG storms heading our way. Quickly we put all the dragons in the stables and took cover in the clubhouse. Although I couldn't remember if the stable door was locked, so I went out in the rain to make sure it was locked. When I got to the stables, I was stopped abruptly when lightning struck the roof of the building causing all the dragons inside to freak out. I rushed in to help, and as quickly as I could I opened all the stable doors and let out all the dragons. I went to let the last one when debris fell trapping two of the dragons. I ran over and helped them out, but while I was running towards the door, lightning struck the ground in front of me and flew backwards and got knocked out!"

"What happened next?! Were you okay? Where was Hiccup?" The children all spoke at once. "Just listen and you'll find out." Astrid said shushing them once more. She looked around to notice that more kids, most of them older had come over to listen to her story. It made Astrid smile and take a breath to continue.

"And then with another click of Stormfly's spines the triple-strike let me touch his nose, telling me that he trusted me. After that we flew back to the edge, to where Gothi fixed me up and gave me medicine to let me see again. That evening everyone was training the triple-strike, while me and Hiccup were by the stables watching the sunset. We talked a little and then... we kissed."

The children all gasped the girls giggling and saying 'awww' while the little boys made stuck their tongues out in disgust. Astrid chuckled and glanced at their baby sleeping soundly in her arms. 'If we hadn't kissed that day, I may have never had this beautiful life with Hiccup or my baby girl.' "And that's the end." Astrid looked around as all the little kids giggled and talked softly as they laid down and settled in for the night. She also noticed that many adults had gathered around and listened to the story and were now smiling softly at her and Hilde. Astrid blushed slightly when she suddenly felt Hiccup's hand on her shoulder as he sat down next to her. He didn't say anything although by his facial expressions he had heard at least the ending of the story. Nothing needed to be said. Astrid laid her head on his shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her and together the three of them fell into a soft sleep.
