Astrid and Zephyr were snuggling by the fire in the Haddock Household while Hiccup and Nuffink were out doing Thor knows what. Astrid sat cross legged with Zephyr sitting on her lap and a blanket draped over them. Valka sat on a chair, sewing Zephyr a stuffed dragon.

Astrid laid her head on top of her daughter's head and sighed in content while she wrapped her arms around the five year old. "I love you, Zeph." The little girl looked up at her mother with a smile and hugged her around the neck.

"I love you too, Mama." Zephyr said. Astrid's heart fluttered in her chest. Five years of being a mother and she still can't get over her being called 'mama' or 'mommy'.

Astrid kissed the top of Zephyr's head when she felt her daughter drifting off. "Do you want me to take your braids out, Honey?" Little Zephyr nodded and Astrid I did her braids.

Zephyr was asleep when Hiccup and Nuffink came through the door talking and laughing. Very loudly.
   Astrid stood with Zephyr in her arms, now wide awake, and looked at her husband with an eyebrow raised.  "She was sleeping."

Hiccup gave her an apologetic smile as he took of his boot, fur cape, and armor. He walked over and kissed Astrid then grabbed Zephyr out of her arms and snuggled her.
    "Hey princess!" Hiccup said and kissed her forehead. Zephyr giggled and hugged her father.

"Hi, Daddy." Zephyr said and kissed his cheek. Hiccup set her down and Nuffink hugged his sister.
    He looked up at her with a huge smile and bright green eyes. Zephyr smiled down at her brother and patted his mop of blonde hair.

"Zeffie!!! Guess what!" He said in his adorable three year old voice.

"What?" She asked.

"Daddy made me this!" He took out his little dagger.
   Astrid's eyes widened and she turned to Hiccup with her arms crossed. She glared at her husband and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's dull. I didn't sharpen it." He said with a light blush on his cheek. Astrid sighed and I crossed her arms. She wrapped her right arm around Hiccup's waist and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Okay." Nuffink And Zephyr both yawned at the same time and rubbed their eyes. Astrid chuckled quietly. "I'll put them to bed. You go get some dinner."

"Nuffink didn't eat..." Hiccup said.

"He did. I fed him a big meal right before you two left." Astrid said while she picked up her son with one arm and grabbed her daughter's hand with the other. She walked up the stairs and into Zephyrs room first.

"Mama, can you tell a story." Zephyr asked. Astrid smiled and set Nuffink down. He climbed onto Zephyr's bed and sat next to her.
     Astrid nodded and thought of a story to tell. Fictional or non-fictional? Astrid thought about it for a little bit and decided with nonfictional.
This is kind of like the video ^^^^

"Okay, there were dragons when your father and I were younger. So, back when Berk and the dragons were at war, the dragons seemed like the most terrifying creatures in the world!" Astrid started. 

"Wow..." Nuffink said.

"But that was before your father opened our eyes to their true nature. And I met my scaly companion and the love of my life." Astrid smiled and thought about her and Hiccup.

"Who? Daddy?" Zephyr asked. Astrid nodded and Nuffink made a vomit sound which made her laugh.

"But don't tell Daddy I called him scaly, he can be very sensitive." Zephyr giggled. "I miss the carefree days of dragon games and especially the winning but that's a story for another time."

"Aww man!" Nuffink said, wanting to hear about the games.

Astrid smiled at him before continuing, "Your father unexpectedly resubmitted with his long lost mother! Your grandma. Who turned out to be a crazy dragon lady... so she fit right in!"

"Crazy dragon lady." The Haddock kids started laughing. Astrid decided to ignore them and continue with the story.

"We defeated the villain Drago Bludvist But the battle cost us dearly." Astrid turned grim. "Wether he was ready or not, the future of Berk rested on your fathers shoulders."

Astrid smiled as she thought of what she was going to say next, "Hiccups first year as Chief was full of dragon rescues and the overpopulated island. We defeated Grimmel and found a new paradise to call home."

"It's been so long since my dragon returned to the hidden world. I miss my girl." A tear slipped down Astrid's cheek. "But I know there will be a time when the dragons will return to us and who says we can't sneak in every now and then. But for now, the future is wide open!"

Astrid snapped out of her daydream when she ended the story then looked at her children. They were laying on Zephyr's bed and Nuffink was next to her. They were both sleeping. Astrid smiled, stood up, and pulled the furs up to their shoulders. She bent over and kissed Zephyr and Nuffink's foreheads, whispered goodnight, and blew out the candle.

Astrid turned towards the door and walked out, closing the door behind her. She walked back downstairs and into the living room where she saw her husband sitting on the couch, staring at the fire that was blazing in the fire place.
    Astrid picked up another log of wood and set it in the fire then sat next to her husband. She pulled her knees up and laid them against her legs, laid her head on his shoulder, and grabbed his hand with hers.

Hiccup turned his head and smiled at his strikingly beautiful wife with her blonde hair braided into two braids, her sparkling blue eyes, her thin lips curved into a smile, and her physically fit body.
    Hiccup turned his head and pressed his lips to Astrid's, his beard tickling her face. Astrid wrapped her arms around his neck and his went around her waist.

They pulled away and smiled at each other lovingly. Hiccup placed a hand on her cheek and she leaned into it, closing her eyes, and smiling. She opened her eyes a few seconds later and stared into Hiccup's emerald green eyes.

"Gods your beautiful." Hiccup whispered. Astrid's cheeks tinted pink and she averted her eyes from his.

Astrid swallowed. "Thanks." She said quietly.  Hiccup rarely calls her beautiful so she cherishes when he does. To be honest she hasn't gotten many compliments ever. Well, to the face anyway.
   Hiccup placed his finger under her chin and lifted her head up so she looked at him. He pressed his lips to hers once again and she felt all her insecurities washing away.

Astrid pulled away and placed a hand on his chest, "I'm tired." She said and stood up.

"Then lets go to bed." He said gently and in a swift move picked her up bridal style. Astrid shrieked and wrapped her arms around his neck while Hiccup carried her upstairs.
      Astrid changed into her white nightgown that stopped right above her knees and the sleeves were right at the wrist. She stood in front of the mirror and started to take her braids out while Hiccup changed.

In the mirror-behind her- she saw Hiccup sitting on their bed in brown pants, and a light brown long sleeve shirt. They wore warmer clothes because it was early spring but still chilly.
She was unbraiding her second braid when she caught Hiccup's looking at her. She smirked. "Like what you see, Babe?"

"Uh-huh." Was his oh-so-intelligent answer. She laughed and sat behind him on the bed. She started to massage his shoulders and release some of the tension there from
Chiefting. "You never wear your hair down anymore so I like when you do."

"Hmm." She hummed and squeezed his shoulders again making him sigh. "The kids like to pull it when it's down."

"Oh." He muttered and flinched when her thumb pressed against a knot in his back. She withdrew her hands and bit her lip.

"Sorry." She said and he shook his head so she continued. She looked down and saw him rubbing his lower back. She moved her hand down and started to massage it. "You work yourself too hard, Babe."

"I'm the Chief, Astrid. I can't not work hard." He sighed and leaned into her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested her head on top of his.

"Exactly, you're the Chief. You can take more breaks." She kissed his cheek before they laid down. Hiccup pulled the covers over them before wrapping his arms around her waist. Astrid snuggled into Hiccup's side, wrapping an arm around his middle and laying her head on his shoulder.

They slept peacefully that night.

How was it? I'm taking requests.
