I just got finished with the first chapter of the sequel to Finding Astrid. Here it is The Chief's Child.

(Astrid's POV)

I looked into the mirror. The girl staring back couldn't possibly be me. She was scared, nervous, in a WEDDING DRESS, and pregnant. I looked down holding my still flat belly. I was finally getting married to the man of my dreams.

"Astrid," Anju said, touching my shoulder. It had been eight hundred years. I had died and been reborn while Hiccup, Anju, and Toothless had been forced to search for my reincarnation. Thanks to Anju's spell, they didn't age a day since my death until I was at the exact age I was when I died. I had missed them so much without even realizing it.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I just…I can't believe I'm finally getting married."

"Eight hundred years. You officially take the record for world's longest engagement," she laughed twisting two braids together over the rest of my hair. She tied it off then handed me my veil with a mix between a traditional Viking bridal crown and a modern princess' tiara as its headpiece.

I picked up my bouquet of Berk flowers, flown in this morning on dragon wings. I smiled at the familiar flowers, and then turned to Anju.

"I'm ready." Anju smiled, leading my bridesmaids out into the chapel. The Bridal March started and I made my way down the aisle. My breath caught when I saw Hiccup dressed in his tux. I was actually getting married… to Hiccup. This wasn't a dream.

Frank, the husband of Tina one of Ruffnut's descendants, gave my hand to Hiccup's strong smith hand. I looked into his swimming emerald eyes. The vows were spoken and our 'I do's' were shared.

We danced, ate, and partied like royalty. After all Hiccup was a chief. The equivalent of a king, plus my dragon WAS still High Queen of dragons (as most of our guests were dragons) so our wedding was a very big deal among the dragons. Much more important than that other royal wedding (I am SO SICK of hearing about William and Kate).

Finally it was time for us to go. Anju and Toothless, in full dragon form, waited for us outside the dragon's chapel. (Dragons believe in the One True God). Hiccup helped me into my saddle then climbed into his own.

In two bounds our dragons were in the air. We smiled and waved down at our friends. Toothless murmured a spell and a portal opened to a land I knew well. A freezing cold island with a few houses still dotting the cliffs. The sight took my breath away.

"Do you like it?" he called over the wind. "I came back every ten years to fix up what I could."

"It's amazing!" I gasped, "How did you manage to keep it so…so…"

"So much like home?" I nodded. "Well I was always good with my hands so I kept a certain amount of money set aside to make repairs to the island."

"It looks just like it used to." He directed Toothless closer and smiled, cheekily. His hand found mine. Before he pulled away and the dragons dove to the island.

We landed in front of Hiccup's old house. The Night Furries adorned the door frame. The house was still as elaborate as the day I died. I gaped at its sameness. He scooped me up and carried me into the house.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Haddock."

Mrs. Haddock…I had waited eight hundred years to be called that and now I was. And I was home.

Ladies and gentlemen THE SEQUEL IS UP!
