Chapter 11
Hey guys!
I had some assignments that I had to do, which is why I didn't update yet! But I'm free for now, and currently writing this in class, which is what I usually do.
We got SO MUCH snow this weekend here! I live in Canada and we had a snowstorm, so lots of snow and it is FREEZING!! I hope one day I can move to somewhere warmer! I don't like the cold.
But, on to Chapter 11.

One Month Later
Hailey was at school and they were playing outside. Hailey was playing by herself when Sarah and some of the other girls came over to her.
"Playing alone like the loser you are." Sarah said. Hailey tried to ignore her.
"Leave me alone." Hailey said and she got up to walk away and Sarah pushed her and Hailey fell to the ground.
"Why should I? You're annoying and a baby and have no mom, your dad probably doesn't want you either." Sarah said. Hailey tried to get up again but Sarah kicked her in the side a few times and started hitting her.
"Help me." Sarah said to the other girls. A few them started kicking and hitting Hailey too. Hailey was curled up on the ground covering her head.
The bell rang and the girls stopped and ran to line up at the door. Hailey sat up and wiped tears from her eyes and got up and limped to the line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the end of the day and Hiccup came to pick up Hailey. He was signing her out and she stood by the door. Hiccup then walked with her outside and Hailey was ahead of him. She didn't even greet her dad when he came in the room, which she always did. They got to the car and Hiccup was helping her in and Hailey winced a little when Hiccup helped put her in her car seat.
"You okay?" Hiccup asked. Hailey just nodded. Hiccup kissed her head and went and got on the driver's side.
"Where's mommy?" Hailey asked.
"She's at home. She wasn't feeling good today." Hiccup told her. Hailey sighed and looked out her window.
They got back to the apartment and came inside. Hailey went to her room and shut the door. Hiccup walked over to the living room and looked at Astrid, who was sitting on the couch with a mug of tea.
"What's with her?" Astrid asked. Hiccup sighed and shrugged.
"I don't know. She seemed really upset when I picked her up. It's been happening more often. She'll barely talk to me anymore about school." He said coming to the couch. He gave Astrid a kiss. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay." She said with a small smile. Hiccup smirked. Astrid was a little worried though. She wasn't just not feeling good, she had been having weird cravings, and her period was late. But she didn't want to say anything until she knew for sure.
Hailey shut her door in her room and grabbed her stuffed dragon and laid on her bed and felt some tears fall from her eyes. She eventually fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hailey!" Hiccup called. He didn't get a response and went to knock on her door and opened it a bit. He saw her sleeping on her bed and smirked. He came in and sat beside her and moved her a little. Hailey opened her eyes.
"Daddy?" She said.
"Hey, munchkin, dinner is ready." He told her. She put her arms up.
"Can you carry me?" She asked. Hiccup smiled and picked up his sleepy daughter and brought her to the kitchen and put her in her chair. Hailey rubbed her eyes.
"Hey, sleepy head." Astrid said.
"Hi, mommy." Hailey said quietly. Hiccup put some spaghetti on Hailey's plate and her face lit up. "You made sgetti?" She asked. Hiccup smirked.
"Yes. I made spaghetti." He kissed her head and gave some to Astrid and himself before sitting down to eat. Hailey started eating up. Hiccup was glad that she was at least eating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Around bedtime, Hiccup was helping Hailey get ready and she winced a little when she tried getting her shirt off. Hiccup looked at her and saw black and purple bruises on her side.
"Hailey, what happened?" He asked helping her. There were some bruises on her arms too.
"The girls at school beat me up today..." She said frowning. Hiccup was a little shocked.
"From your class? Which ones?" Hiccup asked.
"All of them. None of them like me. They all do what Sarah says and Sarah hates me. She started it today and then the rest joined in." Hailey told him.
"I'm gonna try and fix it, okay? But you need to tell me about this stuff honey. I don't like seeing you upset and hurt." Hiccup said. Hailey nodded. Hiccup helped her finish getting ready and tucked her into bed.
He went back to the kitchen and started to help Astrid with dishes.
"She has a bunch of bruises." Hiccup said. Astrid looked at him.
"From what?" She asked.
"She said a bunch of girls in her class beat her up today. I don't know why she didn't say anything earlier, but if they're picking on her a lot, it explains the drastic mood change she's had." He said. Astrid nodded.
"Can you stay home tomorrow with her? I don't want her going to school, I'm going to go talk to her teacher. I took pictures of the bruises too. If this continues I'm finding a different school for her to go to." He said.
"Sure. I'll find something fun for us to do." Astrid said. Hiccup nodded.
They finished the dishes and watched some TV before heading to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Hiccup left after saying bye to Astrid and Hailey. He stopped by the coffee shop to tell Gary that neither him or Astrid could come in that day and explained why.
Astrid and Hailey were walking to the store together and Hailey was telling Astrid about the puppy at the pet store.
"I wish I could have him. He's just so cute, he likes me too. I named him Toothless." Hailey said.
"You named him?" Astrid asked. Hailey nodded.
"Yeah. He reminds me of the dragon in my favorite show, so I named him after that." Hailey told Astrid. "There's another puppy that looks just like him but has light fur instead and that one is a girl."
Hailey continued to talk about the animals at the pet store until they got to the drug store. They went inside and Astrid grabbed a cart.
"Can I ride in it?" Hailey asked. Astrid smirked and lifted her into the child seat part of the cart. Astrid had grabbed a couple of things that were in the cart. She pulled into a section of an aisle and picked up a box and was reading it to see how accurate it could be.
"What's that?" Hailey asked looked at the box. Astrid put it back and picked a different brand.
"Just something I need to take. Just trying to pick one." Astrid said putting that one back too. She saw one that said '99% accuracy' and picked it up. She realized it was a more popular one that she's heard of. She was reading the back and Hailey saw the picture on the front that showed a baby.
"Are you having a baby?" Hailey asked. Astrid looked at her.
"What?" Astrid said. Hailey pointed to the photo.
"There's a baby on it. Is that why you have to take it? To see if you're having a baby." Hailey said looking at Astrid with her big green eyes. Astrid smirked at how smart Hailey was for being five.
"Yes, it's to see if I'm going to have a baby." Astrid said putting the box in the cart.
"Does daddy know?" Hailey asked. Astrid looked at Hailey.
"No, not yet. So this has to be a mommy and Hailey secret okay? I'll tell your dad after I take it." Astrid said.
"Okay, mommy." Hailey said. Astrid kissed her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they got back to the apartment, Astrid turned on Hailey's show for her and went to take one of the pregnancy tests. She put it on the bathroom counter and went to check on Hailey, and got her a snack. Astrid went back to the bathroom and looked at the test.
Positive.
Astrid looked up at herself in the mirror. She heard the front door open and close.
"I'm home!" Hiccup called.
"Daddy!" Hailey said and ran to see him.
Astrid hid the box and test under some other garbage in the garbage can. Hoping Hiccup wouldn't find it and came out of the bathroom to greet him. She noticed a box with holes in it.
"Babe, what's that?" Astrid asked. Hiccup looked at the box.
"That's for Hailey." He said. Hailey ran over to the box and opened it and gasped.
"You got me the puppy?!" She said excitedly. Astrid smiled and Hiccup nodded.
"Thought you could use him, sweetie." Hiccup said. Hailey ran and hugged him.
"Thank you, daddy!" She said and went back to the puppy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, Hailey was sleeping and Toothless was sleeping on her bed with her. Hiccup smiled at the little scene and closed his daughter's door before going into his own bedroom.
"I have another custody case coming up." Hiccup said.
"When?" Astrid asked tying her into a loose braid.
"Next week. They want to talk to Hailey." He said. "So I have to make a date for that."
"Speaking of Hailey, how'd it go with her teacher today?" Astrid said getting into the bed.
"Ms. Williams said she was not aware of what happened, and said she'd talk to the girls. If anything else happens, I won't be happy. Hailey doesn't deserve this." He said also getting into the bed. Astrid sighed.
"Can I ask you something?" She said.
"Uh, sure." Hiccup said.
"What would happen if I was pregnant?" She said.
"What do you mean, what would happen? We would keep it of course." He said.
"You wouldn't be mad?" She said.
"No, I mean, a little surprised, but not mad. Why?" He asked.
"Just curious." She smiled at him and leaned over and kissed him. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Hiccup said.
They both laid down and turned off their lights and went to bed.
