Introducing chapter 5!

The days seemed to drag on for Hiccup, who was trying his hardest to chief and find a way to get his younger self back home without messing up the past too badly.

Hiccup didn't mind having younger Hiccup here. In fact, he honestly kind of liked it. He liked to see how hr acted in the past, how he thought, and what was going through his head at that time. Right now, the small Haddock clan was having breakfast.

"So... What are we going to do today?" Younger Hiccup asked hopping down the stairs. Astrid and Hiccup exchanged glances.

"Well, I am going to be rather busy today at the Great Hall. You can tag along if you want, unless you want to go with Astrid to the Academy," Hiccup said and his wife nodded.

"Um... I think I'll just come with you. I don't know if I'm ready to meet a whole bunch of dragons at once. They might try to eat me..." Younger Hiccup said as Toothless rubbed against him.

"Don't worry, you're too skinny for then to think you'd be a good meal," Astrid said and the young Chief cleared his throat. "But... If you would be more comfortable with Hiccup, you can go with him."

Younger Hiccup nodded, smiling slightly, before eating his food.

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

"Ugh," younger Hiccup groaned as another viking approached them in town about someone stealing their sheep.

"For the last time, Ruffnut and Tuffnut did not take your sheep. We will take care of your dilemma along with the others," Older Hiccup said and waved the villager away before the two continued on their way to the Great Hall.

When Hiccup opened the door he found Eret, his mother, Snotlout, Fishlegs, the twins, and Gobber standing around looking at him. "Did we have plans?" He asked confused.

"Son, we need to talk," Valka said walking closer to her son. Younger Hiccup looked at older him and then went over to sit by the wall while older Hiccup joined the others at the table.

"Excuse me, Chief," a Villager came in but the twins stopprd him.

"Sorry, the Chief is having a very important meeting, so unless your house is on fire he can't help you," Ruffnut said closing the door.

"But it is!" The viking said.

"Too bad!" Tuffnut said and slammed the door.

"What's this all about?" Hiccup asked raising an eyebrow at the twins and Toothless warbled.

"Well... You see..." Eret began before Snotlout cut him off.

"We want to know when you and Astrid are gonna pop out a kid!" Snotlout said Eret face-palmed.

"Uh-What?" Hiccup asked looking at Eret and Snotlout.

"It would just be nice to know when exactly you guys are planning on having a baby," Eret said trying to ease over what Hiccup's cousin just yelled.

"You guys can't be serious. This discussion again?" Hiccup looked at his mother. "Mom... Not you too..."

"Aye, I'm sorry Hiccup, but you two have been married for close to two years..." Valka said placing her hand on her son's shoulder.

"Fishlegs?" Hiccup asked looking for support from his best friend.

"The villagers are beginning to worry that there won't be an heir to the Berk throne," Fishlegs rubbed the back of his neck.

"I told you guys, Astrid and I will decide when we want to bring a child into this crazy world. We both are very busy right now and-"

"It's not just that Hiccup. The other Chiefs at the Meeting of the Chiefs will be asking about it too. It'll be even worse if Astrid goes..." Eret said.

"So that's why you wanted me to go instead of Astrid," Hiccup said and Eret nodded.

"We trust you Chief, but this is a matter of great concern," He said.

"Well I-" Hiccup was cut off by Tuffnut and Ruffnut.

"I told you he would say no! He doesn't want a kid!" Tuffnut said which set an argument.

"It's for the good of Berk!" Snotlout yelled.

"You guys don't know what you're talking about!" Fishlegs yelled.

"Shouldn't we be concerned about Berk?!" Eret asked.

"Guys..." Hiccup said and glanced over at younger Hiccup, who now had his ears covered and his eyes had widened.

"We made it so that Astrid and Hiccup would have a house far away from the village so they could produce an heir in their first year of marriage!" Snotlout said.

"This isn't helping anything. I believe my son will be able to produce an heir, given time," Valka butted in.

"Guys," Hiccup tried again.

"I thought this was about my yak breath! No one told me what this meeting was about!" Ruffnut yelled.

"For the last time Berk needs an heir!" Eret yelled.

"GUYS!" Hiccup yelled louder than any of them and they all became quiet, even Toothless shrunk back as if he had been scolded. "We've tried okay?! We've been trying to have an heir for a year and a half! It hasn't happen! And I also have to figure out a way to get myself from the past back to the past so I don't mess up anything up! So I'm sorry if there hasn't been an announcement that Astrid is with child again! But we've been a little stressed!"

"Wait... Again," Snotlout asked and looked at Valka, who shrugged.

Hiccup looked at the ground. "Yes... Again... We... We lost the first child we conceived... It was eight months after we had gotten married..."

"That week Astrid was so sick and you wouldn't let anyone but Gothi see her..." Valka thought back to the time as Hiccup nodded.

"We kept it under wraps because we didn't want anyone treating her differently... But that time was so, so difficult. We decided we'd take a break and then try again. When we started trying again... Nothing..."

"Hiccup... We didn't know," Fishlegs said sadly. "We're sorry."

Younger Hiccup was in shock. What just happened? Now he and Astrid would have an heir together and then miscarry? The Hofferson girl hates his guts. How in the name of Thor does any of this make sense?

"I swear man, I didn't know," Eret said, his eyes filled with guilt. "If I had known... I wouldn't have pestered you about it..."

"It's fine. Really it is. But please don't talk to Astrid about any of this... She already feels like a complete failure, okay? So just... Just please let us be. I'm done for today. I'm going back home, not to be disturbed, understand?" Hiccup asked and the others nodded. He then turned to the younger version of him. "You'll need to stay here. I can't... Do this today..."

And with that the young Chief left the Great Hall, his head bent down in sadness. The others were still silent as their friend left.

"Well..." The younger Hiccup said.

"This is all your fault," Eret growled at him.

"Eret, don't," Fishlegs said stepping in front of Eret.

"What do you mean?" Younger Hiccup asked.

"If you didn't come here then we would have an heir Berk already. But since you showed up our Chief has been nothing but worried about you," Eret pushed Fishlegs away and stepped closer to the boy.

"It's not my fault!" Younger Hiccup said backing away.

"Really? Because ever since you got here everything's been messed up," Eret growled again.

Younger Hiccup took one look at the others, who didn't move, even his mother. So, he ran out of the Great Hall and back to the beach.

"Take me back! I want to go back! I don't want to be here!" Hiccup said as he ran. Suddenly he ran into another person. He fell to the ground with a groan.

"Why, hello there," A burly man with dark dreads said and grabbed the boy dragging him to a boat.

"Help!" Hiccup's voice was drowned out by the boat slicing through the water.

So... A little Hiccstrid drama there... But don't worry! Find out more when I update on Fanfiction.net!
