Hiccup's POV

I sat in the waiting room impatiently waiting to here anything on Astrid. My mind was wondering with thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened and what I did to her. 

' Why would I smack her? I know she's been through enough and abused by her parents and exes. Why yell at her, why tell her she screwed up my life. She didn't screw up my life. She made it better. She gave me a beautiful daughter. I love them both. I love Astrid. I'm so stupid. I was just mad and frustrated. With work, and everything with Rowan, the bills, and coming home to Astrid drinking and smoking just made me blow up. I hate myself right now.' I thought to myself.

"Hiccup Haddock." I heard from a female voice. I looked up and got up and walked toward the nurse. 

"Is she okay?" I asked. 

"She's fine. She's stable right now. She hasn't woken up yet though. The doctor would like to talk to you and ask you some questions." the nurse said. I nodded and followed her. She brought me to the room where Astrid was and the doctor was at the nurses station looking over her file. The nurse told him I was there and the doctor looked at me. He walked over to me and I shook his hand. 

"Mr.Haddock, we found very high count of alcohol in Astrid's blood. Do you know if this is why she tried to drown herself?" the doctor asked me. I was staring at Astrid through the door window. She was sleeping on the bed and looked pale. She had oxygen tube attached and heart monitor along with an IV and some other wires I didn't know what they were. I looked at the doctor. 

"I was at work, and when I came home she was drunk and still drinking and smoking. She use to do it all the time, but she's been clean for almost a year. I think the stress of our daughter just pushed her over the edge, and," I said. The doctor cut me off. 

"She's pregnant?" He asked. 

"No, she was, with twins. But she went into labor early a few weeks ago and we lost one of them. Two girls. The one was very sick the doctor said. He told us we were lucky it didn't spread to the other twin. Rowan, the twin that survived is still here at the hospital. They won't let us take her home until she's a healthy weight. Astrid's at home alone most days unless she's her visiting our daughter or I'm at home." I told him. 

"What about her parents?" The doctor asked. 

"They're in jail." I said. 

"She may have severe postpartum depression. It's very common, and some mom's do try to hurt themselves. Not to mention the fact that she had the babies early, lost one, and the other can't even be with her right now. It probably makes it a lot worse for her. She probably feels like it's her fault for the one getting sick and dying. She couldn't take the stress anymore so she went to what use to help her with her stress. Drinking and smoking. Did anything else happen?" He asked. 

"We got in a fight. I came home from work and saw her drinking and smoking and I started yelling at her. We yelled at each other and then she walked away from me. I heard her go into the bathroom and turn on the bathtub. I went to talk to her and I didn't get an answer, then I felt water on the floor. So I went into the bathroom and saw her under the water. So I pulled her out and called 911." I told him. He was writing everything I said down too. 

"Thank you." He said to me. "Would you like to go in?" He asked. I nodded. He opened the door and told me to just get a nurse if they need anything. 

I nodded and thanked him. I went and put my stuff down and walked over to the bed. I sat in the chair beside the bed and stared at Astrid. I held her hand and kissed it.

"Astrid, I'm so sorry. I love you so much, I don't want to lose you. Please wake up." I said to her.

Astrid's POV 

I could hear Hiccup's voice talking to me. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I felt his hand on mine and tried to hold it but I couldn't. I couldn't move anything no matter how hard I tried. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I could hear the noises of the room and the beeping of my heart monitor. I tried moving any part of my body but I felt like I couldn't. Like nothing was working, and I didn't know why. 

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

It had been a couple of days and I was trying to open my eyes. I  could hear Hiccup talking to someone, but I couldn't hear another voice. I moaned a bit and my eyes started to open. It was bright and blurry. I shut them again and let them adjust for a moment. I opened my eyes again and stared at Hiccup, he was pacing back and forth on the phone arguing with someone. 

"Hiccup?" I said softly. My voice was raspy. He kept arguing on the phone. 

"Hiccup!" I said again, trying to be louder. He looked and said he would call back later. He hung up and came over and kissed my forehead. 

"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked. I smiled a little. 

"I'm fine." I said. "Can I have water?" I asked. He nodded and left the room to get some water for me. He told the nurse that I woke up and she came in to check on me. Hiccup came back with a cup of water and I drank some. The nurse left and closed the door behind her. I looked at Hiccup. "what happened?" I asked him. He looked a little surprised. 

"You don't remember?" he asked. I shook my head. "I came home from work, and you were drunk. You were in the living room and you were smoking and drinking. We got in a fight and you went upstairs. I cleaned up and went to check on you. You were in the bathtub....under the water. You were drowning. Please tell me it wasn't intentional." Hiccup said. I looked a little surprised. 

"No, I would never do that intentionally. It was probably from drinking. I must've passed out in the tub." I said. "Hiccup, I would never do that. I promise." 

He looked at me and smiled a little. He kissed me. I smiled. 

"Who were you on the phone with?" I asked. Hiccup sighed and held my hand. 

"Astrid," He said. He sounded worried. "I was talking to my boss, because he laid me off. When I came home the other day. I came home early because they had to cut some people and I was one of them. I saw you drunk and I flipped out. But if you remember anything I said, just know that I didn't mean it. Know that I didn't mean any of it, I didn't mean to hit you. I was mad, and I let my anger take over. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know you're probably scared, because I have no job and we have a baby and hospital bills, and I'm trying to figure it out. I'm trying to find a way to spread the money I have saved over time." He said. I laid back on the bed and moved over a little. Hiccup got on the bed with me and laid with me. I kissed his head. 

"It's okay babe. We'll figure it out." I told him. "We'll figure it out." 

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

It had been a month and Astrid was fine, and Rowan was finally home. Hiccup was still looking for a job, but was enjoying being at home with Astrid and their daughter. But he also would go to get groceries and sigh when he had to put things back because of the tight budget they had. He would get the necessities and always bought want Rowan would need before the things we needed.  

After a while, Hiccup got a new job and was working full time again. It felt like time was going by so fast and Rowan was growing up quickly. She was about 5 months old and smiling and giggling. Stormfly and Toothless would play with her and knew they had to be gentle. I enjoyed watching them play with Rowan. I would sit on the floor and play with her too. She would babble away and I loved watching her explore the things she could. 

Overtime she started to sit up on her own and crawl. She would crawl around following me and try to climb the stairs. She would lift herself up using the furniture she could reach. She was starting to say little words as well. I was giving her a bath when Hiccup came home one day. I told him where we were and he came upstairs to see us. He kissed my head and I smiled. He got on his knees and leaned over the tub to kiss Rowan on the head. She smiled and giggled at him. 

"Dada! Dada!" She said splashing some water. Hiccup smiled at her. I finished washing her up and Hiccup grabbed a towel and picked her up wrapping her in it. He headed to her bedroom and I unplugged the tub and cleaned up the toys that she had been playing with in her bath. I dried the floor where it was wet and went and joined them in Rowan's bedroom. Hiccup had her on the floor and in a diaper already. He was playing with her and blowing kisses on her stomach. Rowan would laugh and giggle and kick her legs. I smiled watching them and went to her dresser to pull out some pajama's. I pulled out her light blue onesie  that had  small pink bows all over it. I threw it at Hiccup and it landed on his head and he grabbed it. 

"Hey." He said taking it and putting Rowan in it. Once she was dressed she rolled over and started to crawl towards some of her toys in her room. Hiccup picked up the towel off the floor and came and put it in the hamper. He took my waist and pulled me close and kissed me. 

"We make cute kids don't we." He said. I smiled and laughed a little and kissed him. 

"We do." I said. 

"How about we make another one." He said kissing my neck. I smiled and pulled away kissing his cheek. 

"Not yet. How about  when she's older." I said walking over to Rowan. He sighed. 

"Can we at least.." He said hinting. I picked up Rowan and looked at Hiccup. 

"You're so needy." I said to him walking out of the room. He followed me downstairs to the kitchen and I put Rowan in her highchair. I put a bib on her and opened the fridge. I pulled out some of the food I had prepared already and gave it to Rowan. She picked it up with her hands and started to eat. I made something simple for dinner for Hiccup and I and we ate it and then I cleaned up dinner and Hiccup cleaned up Rowan. We went upstairs and put her to bed. We went to our room and Hiccup and I changed into pajamas. We turned on a movie and laid on the bed. 

I looked at Hiccup and straddled him. 

"Do you still wanna?" I asked. He looked at me and smirked a bit. He kissed me hard and passionately and I returned it. It quickly turned into a make-out session and soon enough we were undressed and going further. 

It was getting late and I was cuddled up to Hiccup in the bed. He had his arms around me and held me close. I sighed a little and soon we fell asleep.

Author's POV 

It was a week after Rowan's first birthday and the Haddock family had gone for a drive. They were crossing an intersection when a car came speeding through t-boning them. Their car spun and hit a tree. Rowan was in the back in her car seat screaming. Hiccup reached behind and touched her hand and tried talking to her to calm her down. He looked to his side and saw Astrid unconscious. 

"Astrid?" Hiccup said. No response. He shook her. "Astrid!!" He said again. He saw a deep cut on her forehead and her door had pushed her seat towards the middle. Her leg was slightly crushed and she had hit her head off the dash board as well. Hiccup was worried and Rowan was still screaming. 

Police cars and ambulances came and were flashing lights and sirens going off. They got Hiccup out and he had some scratches and bruises but he was fine. They got Rowan out and she was okay. She didn't have a scratch on her and Hiccup held her with her blanket and stuffed dragon. Rowan was still crying and Hiccup held her and eventually calmed her down. 

Astrid was on a stretcher and being brought into an ambulance. Hiccup got in with Rowan and they went to the hospital with her.

Astrid's POV

I saw a car headed for me and gasped. I felt my body launch forward and hit the dashboard and then everything was black. After a while I heard sirens but couldn't come all the way to consciousness. I heard Rowan screaming and felt them lift me into an ambulance. Next thing I knew I couldn't hear anything anymore.
