Back again! 

IT'S ONLY ONE MONTH UNTIL HTTYD3 FOR USA AND CANADA!!!!!! 

Now, unto Chapter 12. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiccup and Hailey were sitting in a fancy office waiting for Hiccup's lawyer. 

"What do I have to say?" Hailey asked her dad. 


"Just answer the questions he asks, okay?" Hiccup told her. Hailey nodded. 

Mr. Barns walked into the office and sat down. He looked at Hailey. 

"You must be Hailey." Mr. Barns said. Hailey nodded. "Is it okay if I ask you some questions?" He asked. 

"About what?" Hailey asked. 

"About your mom, and dad, and your home, and Astrid. Is that okay?" He asked. 

"Okay." Hailey said. 

Mr. Burns asked for a social worker to come and take Hailey. A tall, thin lady with dark hair came into the room. 

"I'm Mrs. Harris, I'm going to take Hailey to another room to talk to her." Mrs. Harris said. 

"Hailey, go with her, okay? I'll see you in a little bit." Hiccup said. 


"Okay." Hailey said and got down from her chair and went with Mrs. Harris. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Harris brought Hailey into a room that was a little more kid-friendly and had her sit down at the table. 

"Do you like to color?" Mrs. Harris asked her. Hailey nodded. 

Mrs. Harris pulled out some paper and crayons for Hailey to use. 

"I'm going to ask you some questions about your family while you color, okay?" Mrs. Harris said she also set up a small recording object to make sure she didn't miss anything Hailey said. 

"Okay." Hailey said picking up a blue crayon and drawing a line. 

"Do you go and visit mommy sometimes?" Mrs. Harris asked her. 

"I use too. But not anymore, it's been a long time." Hailey said. 


"Why is that?" 

"I don't like it there." 

"Oh? Can you tell me why you don't like it there?" 

"Mommy and her friend that's a boy, they don't like me." Hailey said drawing on her paper. 

"Why don't they like you." Mrs. Harris asked her. 

"I don't know, but they're mean to me. Mommy would tell me to shut up and call me a brat. she said once that she wishes I wasn't hers and doesn't want me. Her friend yells at me too. When I'm hungry there, they won't let me have a snack. I don't have toys there.

"Has mommy or her friend ever hurt you?" Mrs. Harris asked. 

"She would hit me on my cheek more than once, and her friend has hit me on the head and they grab my arms really tight." Hailey said. 

"What about your daddy?" Mrs. Harris said, a little shocked at what Hailey just told her. 

"I love my daddy! He's the best daddy in the whole world! He bought me a puppy last week because I've been sad, and my classmates are mean to me, so he got me a puppy to help me be happy. But he makes yummy food, and plays with me, and takes care of me. I love him." Hailey said. Mrs. Harris smiled. 

"What about Astrid?" Mrs. Harris asked. 


"My other mommy? I love her too. She's really nice to me. She takes care of me with daddy, and she loves me." Hailey said picking up a green crayon now. 

"What about where you live? Is it nice or dirty?" Mrs. Harris asked. 

"It's beautiful! It's an apartment, it had two bedrooms and a bathroom, a living room and kitchen. Every morning daddy makes breakfast for us and we sit and eat together, then clean up. Then go in my pretty pink room with all my books and toys and get ready for school or play, and then I play in the living room and watch my favorite dragon show! Then we eat supper together, and clean up and I get ready for bed and go in my comfy warm bed and go to sleep." Hailey said. 

"It sounds very nice there." Mrs. Harris said. 


After a little bit, Mrs. Harris brought Hailey back to Hiccup and Hiccup thanked her and Mrs. Barns and they left. 

"So, how'd it go with Hailey?" Mr. Barns said. 

"From what she told me, Camille is no place to take care of that child. Hailey said they hit her and yell at her and they won't let her have snacks. There's no way Camille can have custody of her." Mrs. Harris said. 

"Alright, then lets bring that information to the court." Mr. Barns said. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Daddy, look at the picture I got to draw!" Hailey said holding up her drawing. Hiccup looked at it. 

"It's very nice sweetie. You wanna go home and see Astrid?" Hiccup asked. 

"Yeah!" Hailey said and they went to the car. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Hiccup and Hailey were gone, Astrid had managed to get into the doctor and asked them to check as well. The doctor came back into the room after a while. 

"You're pregnant. Your test wasn't a false positive, your blood work shows that you are pregnant." The doctor said. 

"Thanks..." Astrid said. 

"You okay?" The doctor asked.

"I'm fine. It just wasn't really planned, that's all." Astrid said. 

"Well, there's options." The doctor said. 

"I don't want an abortion, and the dad and I are together. He'll be shocked, but we'll figure it out." She said. 

"Okay, well I'm going to refer you to an OBGYN, and you can make an ultrasound appointment, and start taking some prenatal vitamins as well." The doctor said. Astrid nodded. 

"Thank you." She said. 


Astrid left and headed back to the apartment. She had only been home for a little while when Hiccup and Hailey came in. 

"Hi, mommy!" Hailey said running and hugging Astrid. 

"Hi, sweetie." She said hugging back. "How'd it go?" Astrid said to Hiccup. 

"Fine. I think it's looking good." He said. 

"Hiccup, I need to tell you something." She said. 

"What's up?" He asked her. Astrid looked at Hailey. 

"Hailey come here." Astrid said. Hailey came over and Astrid whispered in her ear. "You wanna tell daddy our secret?" 

"Really?" Hailey asked. Astrid nodded. 

"What secret?" Hiccup asked. Hailey looked at him. 

"Mommy's having a baby!" Hailey said excitedly. Hiccup froze for a minute and looked at Astrid.

"You're pregnant?" He said. Astrid nodded. A smile came onto Hiccup's face and he kissed her. 

"I'm only around two months, but yeah." Astrid said. 

"I'm gonna be a big sister!" Hailey said. 


"Yes, you are." Hiccup said smiling. Hiccup placed a hand on her stomach. "I can't believe we're having a baby." He said. Astrid smirked and kissed him. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, Hiccup and Astrid were sitting in bed and Astrid was quiet. 

"You okay?" Hiccup asked. She looked at him. 


"I just hope nothing happens to the baby. I don't want to lose another one..." She said. Hiccup looked at her. 

"Another one?" He said. Astrid nodded. 

"When I was with Sean, I got pregnant, when I told him, he didn't believe me. Said it couldn't be his and that I cheated on him. He told me I better get rid of it. But I didn't want too. I tried hiding it, but I started to show and he got mad. He started screaming at me and beating me and left me there, he purposely beat me in the stomach so bad, I ended up having a miscarriage." Astrid said. Hiccup was surprised. 

"Astrid, I'm sorry, but you know that won't happen. I would never hurt you, and this baby is going to be fine. Okay?" He said. Astrid nodded. 


"Okay." She said. Hiccup kissed her. They laid down and Astrid cuddled against him and Hiccup wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. 

"I love you." He said. 

"I love you too." She said. 

They went to sleep.
