Chapter 23 - THE BABY

Heather let out a few tears before making eye contact with you and almost bursting into hysterics. You squeezed her hand as she wiped her tears away. 

"H-Hey, how come you're crying? I'm the one WITH-- the literal human being pushed out of my--OH GODS--!!"

"I CAN SEE THE HEAD!!"

***

The plan hadn't exactly gone as expected. Krogan had gotten his eye on the lens literally within seconds of having his eye on the dragon itself. 

A stand off between the Riders and Flyers commenced until Krogan decided to announce that his riders were disposable, and launched them into an attack on the group.

Hiccup swooped past the Armour Wing as it lit up its tail, spinning around to attack and defend itself against the Flyers that were approaching it rapidly. Fishlegs commented excitingly on how the dragon was absolutely full of surprises, as it launched yet another attack as Snotlout. 

The dragon however, didn't seem to notice that the moves it had just used to defend itself hadn't worked as best as they could have, as a large bare patch on its hide was now showing enough for Krogan to take a decent shot at it, sending it spiralling to the ground.

"Oh no- Protect the Armour Wing!!" Hiccup called in alarm, shooting down towards the injured dragon. 

They managed to pull it towards a cave near the area with Stormfly, Toothless and the other dragons during the rain of fireballs being launched at them every few seconds, holding out while they panicked over what to do. 

Hiccup paced throughout the entrance, staying out of sight and shot of the Flyers while Dagur had no fear for the fire that was flying past him. "Hiccup..what do we do..?" Fishlegs asked him shakily from the Armour Wing, terrified for the dragon possibly not being able to make it. 

Astrid made her way up to Hiccup quietly, taking his hand in hers and breathing deeply. Clearly her bothers from earlier had faded away, she realised that the thought of losing Hiccup definitely outweighed the thought of him not noticing a betrothal gift as the most worrying. 

"Whatever you decide to do, I'm with you no matter what." She stated firmly, feeling the grip on her hand tighten.

"Plus, we've got someone back home to protect as well, right?" She said, smiling at Dagur, who began getting even more excited by the minute at the thought of returning to you safely. 

Hiccup took some more deep breaths as his head cleared properly, looking at Astrid as a plan began formulating in his head. 

"Ok..Here's what we need to do." 

***

"Y-You said you saw the head at least an hour ago! P-Please tell me the baby is ok..!" You asked harshly, not being able to breath at that thought.

"No, no the child is fine, however it seems to be a strong one! And one minute it wants to come out, one minute it wants back in!" The healer told you calmly, making a small joke about it while patting your knee comfortingly. 

"This child will be your pride and joy, I can guarantee that my Chieftess!" 

Heather laughed in excitement and gave your hand a firm squeeze as you heard running outside. 

"(y/n)!!" Stoick burst into the tent frantically and ran over to your side next to Heather. 

"Are you alright Lass?? That's the baby! It's on its way out!!" He rambled excitedly as the healer looked at you in shock. 

"it's ok dad, apparently its head showed an hour ago but--the child is stubborn!" You laughed shakily as he held your hand to let Heather pace as you have another push.

Fireballs and plasma scattered the dark sky, Krogan and his Flyers sending barrage after barrage at Hiccup and Astrid as they faced off with them. Hiccup saw how tired Astrid and Stormfly looked, before Sleuther and Dagur crashed into Krogan, sending him spinning off course. 

This made time for Hiccup and Astrid to get rid of the other Flyers, but as they both turned around to Dagur and Sleuther, they saw them being met with attack after attack. 

"Come on then, this is for YOU (Y/N) AND MY FUTURE CHILD!!" Dagur screamed as he and Sleuther dove in to head towards Krogan, picking up speed with every wing flap. Hiccup saw this, mumbling an 'oh no' under his breath as Toothless swooped down towards the two aproaching adversaries before screaming for krogan's attention. 

He held the dragon lens high above his head. "You want this so badly?! Go get it!!" He shouted before launching it towards the sea level, Krogan flying after it at almost sound barrier speed before crashing into the murky waves below. 

As they flew past the Dragon Hunter ships with the Armour Wing in tow, Dagur noticed a speck of green in the corner of his eye. He turned to face it and saw it was a small Terrible Terror. 

"Hey..that looks like...oh no..." He steered Sleuther in the direction of the small dragon until it landed itself roughly between the Triple-Strike's horns. Dagur hastily snatched the scroll from the Terror and opened it with shaking hands. By this time the others had caught up with him, Hiccup and Astrid worrying the most. 

"What does it-" 

"MY BABY!!!"

***

You lay breathless in the bed of warm furs and cloths, eyes never leaving the small bundle of joy next to you. 

You had done it. You had delivered your baby, your and Dagur's child, a beautiful baby boy. 

Stoick, Heather and Gobber were knelt next to the bed, Heather for once crying her eyes out along with Gobber at the small, slightly wriggling form next to you. 

"I'm so proud of you lass.." Stoick said gently as he stroked his grandson's small head, which was already lightly covered in strawberry locks. "You're as strong as your mother.." You could make out small tears in his eyes as you smiled tiredly. 

"Do you know what you're gonna call him?" Gobber asked between sobs. You giggled softly. 

"I was thinking-" "(Y/N)!!!!! MY LOVE!!" you heard screamed throughout the grounds along with several pairs of running feet. Dagur burst into the tent violently, almost tripping over his own feet before coming to a halt in the entrance along with Hiccup and the others. 

You caught eye contact with him and smiled softly as he stumbled forwards towards the bed, almost collapsing next to you. 

"Look..it's your papa...!" you smiled at the baby, Dagur shakily holding out his large finger for the baby's tiny hand to wrap around.

He carefully leaned over the small being and kissed you over and over again, repeating the words 'thank you' in between. 

When he pulled away, through tears he asked you "What are we gonna name our future Berserker prince honey..?".

You smiled wider, lifting yourself up to get a clearer look at your son's face. 

"I was thinking...maybe...Oswald..?"
