46 Armored Hearts
POV Merida
I'm not nervous, not at all. Just feeling quite relaxed and calm, nothing can make me unease. Nothing.
"Are you ready Merida?" My father's hand touched my shoulder and I flinched. Quickly I glance at the bouquet of flowers that I'm holding. It starts to shake in my hands.
"Daddy, no I'm not!" I said with panic starting to rise from deep inside of me. The double doors swung open and I heard the music playing. Everyone's attention was now coming towards us and my father gave me his arm which I reluctantly took.
"Merida, you're the bravest girl but even the bravest can be nervous. Just think of him as your target that you'll aim and hit. Be like an arrow flying through the air and hitting on him straight into his face. Just stare at the target, that's it," My father spoke to me calmly as we took first steps forward. The dress felt odd on me.
Then I saw Hiccup smiling, his eyes met mine and he had pure happiness showing from him. I smiled back, my body started relaxing as my heart was calming down. My feet kept kicking the wide rim of the dress forward.
On the right are people close to me, Anna with Kristoff. She managed to come after all, Punzie is here also with Flynn. And my annoying brothers who stand next to my mother who keeps on wiping her eyes into napkin.
I glance to left quickly and I see Jackson Overland, his hand is around Elsa's waist in protective way as they stand up.
This is it. Time for me to be Mrs. Haddock. Why did I choose his name in the first place! Oh well, maybe I get used to it. Merida Haddock.
Hiccup starts walking towards us and meets us on the half way. He bowed to my father before taking my hand. He leads me the rest of the way to altar. "Glad that you weren't a runaway bride," he teased me with his bad tasted joke that he got from a movie that he made us both watch yesterday.
"I'm not a coward," I gulped out as my hand squeezed his arm.
"Because you aren't," he hummed and we walked on the altar.
Then it became the time of our vows. Hiccup inhaled deeply and then smiled.
"I promise to love and to hold you, but never chain you down. You're free as the wind that I feel gently breezing against my skin. I'm honored to have such a beautiful, strong willed independent woman as my equal pair, to have her love. I can't say that you're mine since you're not the type to be owned. I just wish that I own your heart, that it beats for me since my heart beats for you," Hiccup said his words lovingly, making me loss my thought. I just saw him, nothing else mattered around us. I notice how his cheeks blushed after saying his vow he ran his hand through his hair and I notice that even now he has done couple small braids into his hair.
"My turn," I whispered and I took his hands in mine.
"You're already the one who has chained me. These chains are something that cannot ever be broken. I'm chained to you with the chain of love. You might not be the strongest man in the world but you're smart and kind. I need someone like you, to make me whole," I said to him. He was smiling really awkwardly and it made me laugh a little, which I tried to conceal.
Then it was time for the priest to announce us husband and wife.
"-And now you may kiss the bride," the priest said loudly and I held my breath.
Hiccup's hand gently brushed against my cheek just before he leaned in. "I love you," he said quietly before his lips touched mine. My hands went around his waist.
This was our first kiss as a husband and wife. My heart throbbed as my body felt like melting. Our lips moved in perfect sync. I closed my eyes, my body felt like it was turning into liquid that would end up as a calm stream. He was making me melt. Then he parted from the kiss, I still felt the sensation of his lips against mine. The heat that rose to my cheeks made my head turn red.
Now we are - a husband and wife. Finally, all the hesitation and obstacles have been removed and we're here. Standing here together, loving each other while being surrounded by everyone that is important to us.
He was holding my hand carefully as we left from the chapel. "Time to party?" I grinned to him.
"Time to party," he replied gently while smiling. He gave me one more kiss to my cheek which made me laugh.
"Try to keep up nerd," I snickered as I let go of his hand. He yelled something after me when I ran to our limousine. I quickly brushed some of the rice away from my dress. Just moments before every guest had been throwing rice over us, like rain.
"That's not fair! Making one legged man run," Hiccup laughed as he climbed inside the car. I placed my head to rest against his shoulder while I was still panting.
"With two legs you would out run me Hiccs," I whispered and I touched his knee. His hand went over mine and then the driver started taking us to the venue.
"Thank you," Hiccup whispered.
"For what?" I raised my eyebrow.
"For liking a nerd like me," Hiccup grinned and lifted my hand up, he kissed the back of it and pressed it against his chest.
"What are you doing?" I chuckled.
"My heart beats inside this chest, for you," he spoke softly to my ear.
"Y-yeah and I can feel it beating, " I whispered. "And you're the type of nerd that I like silly," I said and poked his nose.
As the car was parked on the yard of the venue we both glanced at each other. Now we would celebrate and day after tomorrow we would do something daring. Just one day putting up with this wearing of a dress, dancing and looking like a woman. Then we would get into beating some people up and do something exciting!
I glance at Hiccup again. The suit of his is making him look handsome and I felt shy all of a sudden. "Mer, what are you thinking?" Hiccup laughed as he climbed out from the car.
I inhaled deeply. The words that I wanted to say to him were clear. Now there's just one idea inside my head, not about the plan which is exciting nonetheless but this is something more.
"Hiccup.. I'm sort of liking this," I whispered as I took his hand that he offered. He helped me out from the car and straightened my dress.
"Liking what?" Hiccup laughed.
I started gasping and getting nervous. "You know--." I started, "-looking pretty, wearing a dress, dancing.. stuff like that.. because I'm doing it for you." I said quietly.
Hiccup's eyes widened from surprised and he was shocked, he started flushing and I giggled a bit. Then I smacked a kiss on his cheek but he pulled me into embrace. His eyes were dreamy looking as he closed the gap between us. He started kissing me on the yard while the dance music was being played inside the venue where people were waiting for us.
But I didn't care the fact that we were waited and neither did he.
It was just the two of us in this world right now. The space between us was gone and there was only the euphoria left, the feeling of love and affection which is strong.
It was just this one kiss. And our love.
POV Punzie
"Be careful Flynn bear," I whispered through the microphone. It was time to put our mission into action. Last Saturday was our friends wedding and now we're on the plan. How hard could stealing one robot be from a criminal gang?
"Punz, where now?" Flynn whispered and I glance at the computer screen.
"To the right," I giggled.
"PUNZ!" I heard Flynn soon screaming. The small dot that was him started moving faster, running around.
"What!" I screamed over the loud beeping as the dot was moving faster.
"There were guard dogs! Any plan b?" He gulped out.
"There's a door!! On your left! Now!" I panted into the speaker and I heard how he opened and closed a door. I sighed from relief.
"And now?" He asked.
"Next time you should really put on the camera that I offer to you," I mumbled.
"Punz, it was pink with rainbows and large and you wanted me to wear a weird helmet where it's attached. No, just.. no," Flynn whined.
"But I could see where you are and--," I insisted.
"No way and besides.. I'm kinda on the mission already.. so where's their stash again?" Flynn sighed.
"Climb into airshaft, crawl forward.. then right.. left.. right.. drop down and tada," I said in bored way.
"Finally clear instructions!" Flynn sighed loudly and I rolled my eyes. I heard the metallic clattering as he get into the shafts. Then the slight clapping sound as he was crawling forward.
"Yeah! Now I think that I got it!" He cheered and I heard how he dropped something metallic to the floor. Probably the hatch.
"Can you be even louder?" I groaned.
"No," he said as he dropped down from the sounds of it.
"Well? Do you see the red suitcase looking thingie?" I asked.
"Yeah, I got it.. now.. how do I get out--," he started but then I heard gunshots.
"FLYNN!" I yelled.
"---- revealed---- where---now---Punz---PUNZ? " Flynn spoke to the microphone but his words kept on cutting off by the gunfire sounds. I threw my headphones on the table and I grabbed a handgun from the table.
This is bad. We're in the hideout of the best gunmen of the Nightmare's group. Not good. I start to run, as fast as I can. Two alleys later I see the abandoned apartment building that the Nightmares of this city have taken over. My heart is going wild as I ran inside.
The sound of gunshots are echoing inside the building. I chose my route carefully, avoiding the dogs. Then I bumped into him.
"I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO FOLLOW ME!" Flynn gulped out.
"Just c'mon!" I shouted as I shot couple times towards his chasers. I recognized one of them as their groups leaders, Shere Khan. Then I heard a yell that I recognized belonging to Gaston.
"That's Rapunzel! From the group in Burgess!" Gaston shouted. We ran faster and got out. I sealed the door with junk before we headed towards the van.
"Whoa, that was close," Flynn sighed after closing the door. I jump to drivers seat while catching my breath.
"Yeah, way too close," I sighed as I started the car. It was time to go to our meeting place. I glance at the weird suitcase.
"I wonder what type of guy Hiro is," I whispered.
"Smart as Hiccup said probably?" Flynn said as he came to sit next to me.
One hour later we were back at Burgess. It was the middle of the night when we were at the quiet bus station.
"Maybe he doesn't come?" Flynn whispered as there was no one to be seen. Now it was one minute over our meeting time.
"Says who?" We heard a voice behind us. We turn around and a short guy walks towards us. He is wearing a weird suit in colors of purple and hints of orange. Actually it was an armor.
"Hiro Hamada?" I asked and he nodded his head.
"So you brought my friend back. What you want as reward?" He asked and glanced at the suitcase that I was holding.
"Your help," I whispered.
"Figured. My brains?" He grinned and reached towards the back.
"Wait!" Flynn said strictly and went between Hiro and the bag.
"Dude, what now?" Hiro raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms.
"Prove that you're smart and can actually help us," Flynn said quietly.
Hiro rolled his eyes and pointed at the case. "Give me that and I'll show you what this armor of mine is all about," Hiro mumbled.
"Flynn, let's do as he says," I whispered and Flynn slowly stepped out.
Hiro took the case and placed it gently to the ground. "We are waiting," Flynn laughed as he watched Hiro.
I got startled when Hiro took out a small knife from his pocket and took his glove off. I wasn't on time to stop him before he cut himself, I heard him wince from pain and I see red drops falling to ground.
What scared me more was the fact when the case opened. A weird white balloon started filling up and I see how it resembles a figure.
"What the heck is that!" Flynn gasped.
"My friend, Baymax," Hiro smiled and Baymax put him a bandage.
"I missed you pal," Hiro said.
The white thing hugged Hiro at that moment. "Baymax missed Hiro too," the thing said.
"This is my healthcare companion, a robot basically.. with some awesome abilities, check this out!" Hiro cheered as he pressed some weird looking ball. He threw it to ground and I see how an armor pops out. Then Hiro put the lid of his helmet down and I see how his hands move in the air, like he is using some imaginative computer or tablet. I glance at Flynn nervously.
The armor started floating on the ground and then it flew, right towards Baymax. We took couple steps back while gasping. Hiro just laughed at our reaction. Now we're staring at the robot in red armor.
Hiro climbed on top of the robot and then.. they flew! It was cool actually.
"OOO! That's amazing!" I squealed in amazement when they landed down.
"Thank you," Hiro smiled and jumped down from the robot, lifting the lid of his helmet up. His eyes were sparkling proudly.
"So.. will you help us? I think that you could.. you did all of these things? Right?" I whispered.
"Umm.. most of them yeah but Baymax is the doing of my big brother Tadashi.. and.. h-he has been gone for few years," Hiro whispered and took his helmet off. He laughed when Baymax hugged him again.
"What's up with that robot?" Flynn gulped.
"Well, Baymax knows medicine but he has also learned some combat skills and about comforting people... he is quite unique and really important to me. Like family," Hiro smirked.
"Alright," Flynnn sighed.
"So.. when you need me?" Hiro smiled.
"Can you come here with your friends? Two weeks later? We still need to.. umm.. discuss with our other friends what we're planning," I smiled nervously. Elsa will probably kill us by doing things on our own.
"Sure. Same time and place then. I must get going, see ya!," Hiro grinned and then he climbed back on Baymax. I waved my hand to them when they left.
"That was.. umm.. interesting," Flynn laughed nervously.
"Yeah, well now we have more smart people working with us. Which we need!" I cheered and Flynn groaned.
"What now?" I giggled.
"Thanks a lot.. you just need smart people," Flynn pouted and I gave him a kiss on cheek.
"You are smart but not that smart that you could come up with a flying armor," I laughed and Flynn responded with a warm smile. Then he lifted me up from my waist, sealing me with his arms into embrace.
"Love you too Punz," Flynn grinned and kissed my nose. It tickled and I laughed while I cupped his cheek.
"You make me happy too," I whispered and kissed him to his lips. He let me slide down slowly and then I placed my arms around his shoulders.
After the kiss we kept smiling at each other. "Time to tell the others how it went?" I whispered and Flynn gave me one more quick on lips.
"Yeah, let's get going," Flynn grinned.
POV Jack
It has been a week since the wedding of Hiccup and Merida. Everyone has been busy since the wedding, I haven't seen Mer, Hiccs, Punz or Flynn after the wedding day. Gladly I've at least seen one person.
But I wish that the person would be faster.
"Elsa! Hurry up!" I shouted upstairs. What's taking her so long to get ready anyway?
"Stop complaining Frost!" She responded in such a manner that it made me startle. Since when she has yelled at me and that angrily?
Then I saw her, she was walking down the stairs. She had put on tight black jeans, white t-shirt and she was pulling a black leather jacket on her.
"You know that doing all this hair takes time," she sighed as she passed me.
"Okay so what's pissing you out today Els?" I groaned as I ran after her.
"Well, mister. I really dislike the fact that you were trying to sneak out without me to do a robbery and now you're hurrying me up to get done," she sighed loudly and gave me a glare that frightened me.
"Uh.. well what if I didn't want you to end up in trouble?" I laughed nervously as I opened up the door for her. She turned to face me, her hand poked my chest harshly and I gulped.
"Hah! Your wife is White Blizzard and probably much better than you," she hissed and turned her back at me.
Whoa she's grumpy tonight. Gladly Emma isn't home to hear our fighting.
"I take that as a challenge!" I yelled after her and she looks at me over her shoulder.
A devious grin spreads to her face. "Alright, it's a challenge. So the one of us who manages to steal one of the glowing rocks that are said to be found from Atlantis and brought to display in Burgess. Deal?" She offered me her hand which I shook.
"Deal," I smiled slyly back and then I put on my helmet. I walked over to my motorbike and then I reached my hand towards her.
"Want a ride?" I said as I sat down on the motorbike. I lift the lid and gave her a smile. She huffed in annoyance but gave me her hand, seasoned with rolling of her eyes.
She sat behind me on the light blue motorbike. Her hands went around my waist and I felt her leaning against my back. She had put on her helmet and now I felt her head touching my back.
I kicked the bike to start and then I speeded off, moon was keeping us company while we drove on the quiet streets at night.
Stealing glowing rocks was a task given by a guy named Milo Thatch. He said that some mercenaries had taken the rocks from him and his friends and then sold them further. The rocks had ended up into museum and Thatch said that they're impossible to get back from there without stealing. I guess that those rocks meant much to him.
Elsa's arms were squeezing around my waist tightly. She hold on tightly as I drove behind the museum. On the moment when the bike stopped moving she jumped off. She took her helmet off and gave me a glare while placing it hanging to the bike.
I took my helmet off while I stood up, my hand ruffled my hair because it had stuck against my head. "Els, sorry," I said as I gave her a smile. She sighed loudly and then her hands went beneath my hoodie. She started pulling it up.
"Ouch!" I grunted when she pulled it roughly from me. She placed it on the seat and then he gave me a devious grin.
"Your fault for having big ears Frost," she hummed.
"Hah.. very funny," I mumbled and then I turned around to put my hoodie better on the seat. Her hands came from behind me and sealed me into a hug. Her hands caressed my chest, over the fabric of my black long sleeved shirt.
"I like everything about you Frost," she chuckled and kissed my neck. It caused me to have chills and I turned around quickly. I gave her a kiss on cheek.
"I know," I grinned and I stroked her cheek with the back of my hand. She smiled at me and told me to close my eyes.
Then I did the way she asked.
"Idiot," she laughed, mocking at me when I felt something cold around my wrists. My eyes flashed open and my jaw dropped, she had just handcuffed me.
"I'm so gonna beat you now Snowflakey," she laughed and ran at the back door. I watch how she pick locked it and went in. Leaving me stand on the alley dumbfounded.
"Wait.. what! She called me flakey," I gasped and I quickly start to push my hands inside my supply belt.
"Now where the heck is that pin," I mumbled as my fingers search the pockets. "AH HA!" I cheered as my fingers hit something cool and thin. I took it out and I stuck the pin between my teeth as I start to work with the lock of the cuffs.
"Seriously, why she acts like this all the time," I mumbled between my teeth as I continued picking up the lock. Then it clicked and the cuff opened. With my free hand I freed my other and then I put the cuffs inside my belt.
Coming after you, sweetie, I thought as I ran after her. I see a guard sleeping tightly at the staff corridor and I jump over him. She also has painted the security cameras, I smile to the sight. She sure hasn't changed.
As I got into the open area and went to the hall that had gemstones displayed I saw her. She was leaning against a big display case. Her fingers played with a small longish pyramid shaped glowing rock.
"So you got them first?" I grinned as I walked in.
"Yeah,you're way too slow," she hummed.
"You don't complain in bed about it," I winked my eye as I walked closer. Her face flushed and she let go of the rock. I jumped forward and caught it from the air. Then I snatched the small pouch from her waist.
"Beat ya!" I cheered as I jumped back up.
"Not fair," she stuttered as I pinched the small rock between my thumb and front finger. I examine it with my eyes.
"Mm.. these are actually crystals?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Yeah," Elsa sighed and crossed her arms.Quickly I took her other hand and placed the small crystal on her hand.
"You won, I'm just messing with you," I spoke and kissed her cheek.
"Well, we better get going since there's about five more minutes left before the cops arrive," she said and poked my chest playfully. I nodded my head and I started to walk out first.
"So what would you like to eat when we're going home? I have this odd craving for grilled hamburger," I laughed as I jumped over the passed out security guard. My hand reached soon the exit doors handle.
"Umm.. Els... we don't have to have hamburgers if you don't want.. Chinese food is fine too and pizza.. Anything that's edible though," I mumbled as I turned around.
I couldn't see her anywhere. The corridor behind me was empty besides the knocked out guard.
"Elsa?" I raised my voice as I started to jog back to the way I came from.
"F-Frost," I heard a weak voice of hers calling. Then I saw her, she was leaning at the doorway of the exhibition hallway. Her face was pale and her other arm was folded over her body and embracing herself.
"Els!" I gulped as I ran towards her, she was panting.
"I.. I don't feel .. I feel bad.." she mumbled and then her fingers let go of the crystal, it fell to floor and shattered into pieces when her eyes rolled up. She was falling.
"No!" I yelled as I grabbed her to my arms just before she hit the floor. My heart was beating wildly as worry grew inside me.
"Els. Stop playing around, wake up," I said as I wiped her hair away from her face. Her skin felt cold and sweaty and she was breathing hard. Breathing however which eased my pain a little.
She was sick.
Gently I lifted her into my arms and I started walking out. She needs to see a doctor, now.
When I got out from the museum and to my bike I could already hear the sirens. I glance at her face, she's even paler looking and I bite my bottom lip. Quickly I place her down, being careful that she doesn't get hurt.
"Shit.. shit.. SHIT SHIT!" I kept repeating as I pulled my hoodie on me quickly. I had no time, no time at all. I decided to put on the hood and I quickly tightened the strings,tying it up. I have no time to dye my hair or put on the contact lenses. I just need to get going.
After putting on my helmet and getting her one too I lifted her to my lap. Her bodyweight made the bike unsteady and I had to struggle so it wouldn't crash. My other arm was holding her against me as I kicked the bike on.
I passed the police cars on my way and I glance behind. So far so good.
I drove us to the hospital and I carried her bridal style into emergency room. I place her to couch and then I pulled my helmet off. My hood protected my true identity from being revealed and I look around me. I see a nurse who I grab and I pleaded for her help.
They didn't let me see her for the whole night when they were doing their tests on her. The waiting felt annoying and now I'm regretting the whole idea of the last nights robbery. The crystals that still are in the pouch, hanging on my supply belt are sending a burning sensation which my mind has created. She should have been resting, she was sick all along.
I'm rubbing my hands together nervously, popping my knuckles and playing with my fingers. Anxiousness is killing me when the dawn is coming. My face got buried my hands as I leaned on them, fatigue was also taking over and my head was killing me.
Just when I was rubbing my temples, letting out a muffled sigh I heard steps. When I opened my eyes I saw a pair of black boots. "Jack," a gentle voice spoke and I lift my head up.
A smile spread on my face as I saw her. I wrapped my arms around her waist, the tiredness and desperation over flooded in tears as I buried my face against her abdomen. I feel her hands over my head.
"You took a risk by coming here like that," Elsa sounded concerned and meaning the fact that only simple hood was keeping my double life a secret.
"I don't care, as long as you're safe," I mumbled against her stomach and then I inhaled deeply, slowly standing up and straight. Her hands slid down on my body, then taking a hold of my hands.
"I know which is why it worries me," she laughed and started walking towards exit.
"What they said?" I asked.
"Umm.. they gave me meds," she laughed and I saw her blushing.
"Huh? That worries me even more," I exclaimed as I took my hand back.
"Not now," she whispered and we went back to my motorbike. Without a word she put on her helmet and sat behind the seat. I sighed as I put my helmet on and I started driving after hopping on the bike.
When we got into the yard of my mansion I parked in front of the door. Many different types of possible diagnosis were going on my head. Cancer? Fever?
In my thoughts I took off the helmet, I place it down on the ground and I stand next to the bike. I'm looking down at the ground while feeling uneasy, I glance at her quickly as she takes her helmet off and puts it to ground.
"So what's wrong?" I asked quietly.
"Nothing," she laughed and it made me groan.
"Nothing is wrong! You just freaking passed out and I was so worried!" I shouted and then I rubbed my forehead.
She stayed silent and I sighed. "I'll get us something for breakfast," I mumbled as I was about to step towards the stairs.
"Wait!" She pleaded, pulling me back. She pulled me to sit against the bike and turned my face towards her.
"Now ready to tell what's wrong to your husband?" I said bitterly.
"I have diabetes," she whispered.
"Wait WHAT!" I raised my voice and I stare at her. Slowly she drops my hood down and her right hand goes to my chest. She starts to play with my hoodie's string.
"B-but you're not even obese!" I gulped out .
"It's gestational diabetes," she rolled her eyes.
"Okay. No more chocolates for you," I said as I pinched her cheek before placing my hand on her leg. "What's that anyway?"
"I'm pregnant," she smiled to me and pinched the string between her fingers. At first my cheeks flushed and I stared at her in shock. Her eyes were looking into mine until she glanced shyly down.
"Y-you.. uh.. w-we," I mumbled and then I started laughing.
"You're going to be a dad," she whispered again.
I smiled back at her and I gently touched her chin, lifting her face up a little. My heart was racing and I felt extremely happy.
I leaned closer and then I kissed her, feeling how her hands went around me. The embrace was tight and loving. "Okay," I mumbled against her soft hair, "You can have little chocolates.. I'm just eating half of every piece.. just to aid with the cause."
She started gasping, "No one takes my chocolates!"
"Diabetes?" I raised my eyebrow and she frowned. I chuckled to her actions and she started smiling.
"Wait," I said suddenly.
"What?" She questioned.
"I really don't want you to be the decoy, especially now," I whispered and my body started shaking. I don't know if it was caused by the anger or fear - the two mixed up feelings that I was experiencing.
"We can discuss about it," she said with a tone that I knew. There wouldn't be much of discussing since she had decided the outcome already. I let out a sigh but she kissed my cheek again, putting my hand over her abdomen.
"My daughter," I cheered as my fingers were touching her abdomen.
Elsa sighed, "Jack.. there could be a son too. I'm on 4 weeks."
"I know.. just let me enjoy this a little while. Okay?" I smiled like an idiot and she started laughing when she hugged me once more.
