{A/N: Hey guys! I've just finished listening to Heather's lullaby and I thought what would be if instead of her would sing Astrid? And here we go... I hope you like it.}

°*°*

"Funny, Astrid. By the way, I'm over you in case you haven't heard, and I'm just being honest with you, because I'm nothing, if not honest, did you hear that Heather?" Snotlout told with a grin on his face, but it quickly faded, because the little dragon kiddie, still didn't stop moving in Heather's hands and continuously wept.

"So... what should we do now? We can't just leave him, but if we won't find a way to calm him down, he's going to complete our nerves and finally, will eat not only the chicken but us too." Tuffnut said annoying and pointed to the death song's baby, who was crying.

This time even Hiccup didn't know what to say or what to do because they've tried everything to soothe him, but nothing have helped. He looked at Astrid, hoping that perhaps she has any ideas how to calm the baby, but looking at her, he only saw her ocean blue eyes looking deep at the little dragon.

All the time of her sight, he was able to say what she felt and what she's going to through, because they were very close friends, maybe even more than friends. But this time... this time was different. Hiccup couldn't say what she felt. Astrid's eyes were deep, filled with sadness, concern, compassion, pity... but on her lips was a little smile. The only thing he could say was that she was thinking about something important.

Before long, the silence where you could hear the baby's cries was terminated from a gentle voice.

"Let me..." Astrid said to Heather and stretched out her hands to the death song's baby.

"O-okay..." Heather slowly nodded and Astrid gently took the moving baby into her arms. She put one of her hands on the dragon's front leg as the other arm has already rested on his yellowish tummy. A young lady carefully cuddled dragon's crying baby at her chest and slowly began to sway.

"Shh... It's okay... little fighter... it is okay..." Astrid whispered and gently patted his leg.

They all stared at her with curiosity eyes. Heather now was standing near Fishlegs while Hiccup was near Snotlout, listening to Astrid's humming.

Snotlout wanted to say something to Astrid, like 'what are you doing?' but Hiccup stopped him, saying to watch what will happen next.

However, their question soon was answered when they heard a beautiful voice.

"The sky is dark and the hills are white as the Storm King speeds from the north tonight. And this is the song, the Storm Kind sings, as over the world his cloak he flings." The little dragon already was asleep in Astrid's safe hands.

All the room was silent, not speaking a word, even twins listened intently. Snotlout made a serious face and just watched it. Heather was placing her head on Fishlegs' shoulder, admired her best friend. And Hiccup...

Hiccup just stared at the girl, who held a sleeping dragon, with eyes full of pride. Of course, he knew that Astrid was a good person, but he never thought that she loved children so much. And now he knew that 'Fearless' Astrid Hofferson will be a great mom. Because in his eyes she was just... perfect.

"Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep. He rustles his wings and gruffly sings, sleep, little one, sleep..." Astrid softly graduated her song and with eyes full of love looked at the small, sleeping dragon again. She picked up her eyes from the dragon and saw that everyone in the room was staring at her.

"What?" She whispered.

"You are a g-girl," Tuffnut said, surprised and Astrid raised an eyebrow.

"He just wanted to say that it was all very nice," Heather explained her, still glaring at Tuffnut.

The blonde looked in Hiccup's direction. He was smiling, smiling the same smile which she always loved. Their eyes met and Astrid smiled at him as well. They looked at each other as anything else around them weren't, just the two of them.

It's a shame but it wasn't true because Snotlout out of jealousy had to disturbed the peace.

"You know, Astrid. I changed my mind. If Heather is with this loser Fishface-" he pointed at the couple. "-you will be with me. Do you hear? This is all, mine." Snotlout scanned his eyes up and down the body of Astrid and grinned at her.

If now Astrid's hands havn't been occupied, she would hit, no kill him for that. She wasn't some of the backup toys to play. She was a young lady who had feelings. But Astrid didn't need to hit him because that did the other person. Hiccup.

"If I ever again hear or see that you're talking with her like this, I will break not only your nose but also and all of your bones! Am I clear!?" Hiccup yelled angrily on Snotlout, who with his hand covered his bleeding nose. His voice disappeared, because his cousin has never been so angry at him, even then, when he humiliated him and mocked him. Not finding the words, he just nodded his head. And after receiving the answer to the question, Hiccup relaxed his fists.

"And, Snotlout, she's mine." The young man added and turned his head to the blonde, who seemed a little bit puzzled. The baby dragon which now was awake cried in Astrid's arms. Hiccup sighed and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her thin waist.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare the dragon's baby o-or you. I just-" But she cut him off with a kiss on the lips. At first, he was surprised, but later he responded. When they pulled away, Astrid's face was decorated with a big smile and he couldn't do anything else just smile back. Because if she is happy, happy is he.
