A drabble of Hiccup and Astrid welcoming nuffink into the family? :⁠-

Little Brother

Zephyr was hoping for a little sister. "Boys are yucky," she'd say, sticking her tongue out.

"Hey!" Hiccup laughed, tickling his daughter, "You know, I'm a boy, and I'm not yucky."

Her giggles filled the Haddock hut, her little hands trying to push his away. "Daddy! Stop! You--you're not yucky, only stinky sometimes."

"Stinky?!" He exclaimed, lifting her up. She squealed, clearly having a great time with her father. "Well, we can blame Toothless for that."

"Or those long days in the forge," Astrid stepped forward, her hand resting on her stomach. "Especially in the middle of summer."

"I always wash it off!"

"You do, but that doesn't mean you didn't stink in the first place!"

Now they were all laughing, and after Astrid lowered herself into a chair, Zephyr wriggled out of Hiccup's arms and ran over. "Is my baby sister coming yet?"

"Not yet, but soon."

She pouted, "What's taking so long?"

The Chieftess sighed heavily. "Only Thor knows."

"Your little sister, or little brother, will be here when the time is right. No sense in getting impatient, Zeph." Hiccup knew full well it didn't help anything, though he was excited for the arrival of their newest family member too.

----

It was only a week later when Astrid alerted Hiccup that it was time. Zephyr was put in the care of Valka, while the chief tended to his wife and the healers came to their hut.

It wasn't until the following day that Hiccup came to pick Zephyr back up.

"How are they?" Valka asked.

"Both are doing well, they just needed extra rest," nothing could wipe Hiccup's smile from his face. He knelt in front of Zephyr, "are you ready to meet your little brother?"

She wrinkled her nose. "Brother?!"

"Aw, come on. I think you'll like him. You know, your mother has been asking for you."

"...Okay, I'll go."

----

Zephyr peeked her head into her parents room, her blue eyes wide. Sitting propped up in the bed, Astrid waved her over. "It's okay, you can come closer. He won't bite."

She looked up at her father, who gave an encouraging nod and placed his hand on her back. Tentatively, she stepped forward. "So...I have a brother?"

"You do," Astrid adjusted the bundle in her arms as the newborn yawned. "Zephyr, this is Nuffink."

The little girl took a long look at him. He was fully bundled up, so she could really only see his face and a single hand that was poking out. "He's awfully wrinkly."

"It takes a few days. You looked like that too, when you were born," Hiccup pointed out with an amused grin.

Huh. Zephyr tilted her head, reaching a finger towards his hand. Nuffink's fingers closed around hers, and she came to a decision.

"Well, I guess having a little brother isn't so bad."

Psssst chief

Isn't Mother Day coming soon ? Just in case :)

"As a matter of fact, it is! And let me tell you what the kids and I have planned!"

"Alright. We're going to start the morning by cooking up her favorite breakfast. Then, when she goes to do her usual training, I'm going to help the kids put up some decorations they made to celebrate her."

"Zephyr designed a new axe to be Astrid's gift, so I made it in the forge. As for Nuffink, he and I collected Stormfly's scales. He wanted to make a necklace for her, so I drilled little holes in each one and he strung it on a leather cord. As for my gift to her? I created an axe throwing training course out in the woods. She's going to love it!"

"We try to make sure she knows she's loved and appreciated all year, but it's great to go all out on this annual holiday."

Hello!

If you don't mind, I would like to ask two questions about you, hiccup and Astrid.

What is the bath routine in your village? I know it's more frequent than other countries/civilizations, but is your hygiene more taken care of than others?

Also if one is moving like a lunatic in bed and the other deeply sleeps, do you have a preferred position to sleep/cluddle?

"Oh, certainly! I mean, not only do we have a full service dragon wash, but one of Johann's stories from his travels gave me an idea: bathhouses. I built some over the hot springs on the West side of Berk, and that's where our village goes to wash. Now, as Chief, I do actually have one of my own in a private, undisclosed location. Only Astrid and I know where it is, and that's where we go. Us Berkians take pride in our cleanliness, and we found it helps prevent the spread of sickness and disease."

"Well, sort of," Astrid began, "we fall asleep in the usual way..."

"I, I like the way her hair smells, so...so I curl up behind her..."

"...and he wraps his arms around me as if he were hugging me from behind. Or, sometimes, we fall asleep facing each other, and Hiccup would hold my hand."

"Yeah, I'd say those are probably the preferred ways we like to sleep."

Astrid Headcanon:

Astrid might not be the best cook or singer but she’s definitely good at cutting hair, this why Hiccups beard looks so epic, because Astrid trims it, because she doesn’t want her husband to look like a opossum died on his face. Also Hiccup really enjoys it when his wife is doing this to him, it’s aside from cuddling, kissing and sex some of their bonding time activities. As a Warrior mum Astrid is also really good at treat wounds, she makes neat bandages and always cleans the wounds thoroughly. This knowledge she got from her mother.

How soon after you and Astrid married was Zephyr conceived? How old were you guys when she was born?

"Ohohohh, uh, that, that is a bit of a personal question, isn't it? People don't usually go around asking other people when their kids were...were started. At least no one I know does...Your second question, I will answer. It feels less...intrusive. Astrid and I are the same age, and we were both twenty-three when Zephyr was born."
