Hope was five now, Astrid was as beautiful as ever and my parents had moved in.

I smiled as I looked at our wedding picture, that day was perfect... until Viggo Grimborn showed up. He was a man I met in the military who always tried to kill me, and every time he failed. He thereatend my family and friends. He constantly had his gang attack us.

I've gotten sick of it. Astrid almost died last week because of him. I scowled remembering.

"Ah! Viggo leave her alone!" I raged as two of his associates restrained me.

Everyone was tied up and the dogs were locked up. Hope was crying behind me as Mom held her.

Astrid grunted in pain as a hunter yanked her back. Viggo cupped her face and got in close.

My eyes narrowed.
Take your Thor damned hands off my wife. I thought.
"Yes, she will do nicely." He laughed running a hand over her upper arm.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" I screamed seeing how scared she was.
"Why would I intend to do that if I won't do anything to her. My boss needs an heir doesn't me. Look how beautiful your daughter is, I think we'll take her too."
"NO!" Astrid and I screamed.

Ryker grabbed her and turned her back to him, holding a gun to her head.
"NO!" I pleaded.
"Make your choice Hiccup. Astrid and Hope come with me, or Astrid dies." Viggo warned.

My heart started beating faster. Tears were falling down my face and Astrid's.

She looked at me and shook her head.
"Ok,ok, Hope, come here." I said.
"Hiccup, no!" Astrid cried.
"Ash, it's ok..." I said as Hope let me pick her up.

"Daddy?" She whispered.
"It's ok baby, they won't take you. Just jump and run when I tell you to."

She nodded and grabbed a fist full of my shirt and turned away from Viggo.

"Well? Give her to me."
"Hiccup, stop." Dad spoke.
"Shut it old man!" Ryker yelled.
"Lower the gun first." I snapped.

Viggo nodded to Ryker who lowered the gun.
"Now." I whispered.

Hope jumped down and ran.
"Hope!" I called.
"Stop her!" Viggo ordered.

I drew the gun from his holster and pointed it at him.
"Stay.away.from.my.daughter." I warned through gritted teeth. I pointed the gun at Ryker.
"Let my wife go."
"Fat chance. You won't shoot, you don't want risk hurting this...diven beauty. Do you?"

I shot his shoulder. He dropped Astrid, and cried out in pain.

She fell to the ground.
"Get him out of here! Go!" Viggo ordered his men

They all ran
"This isn't over Haddock!" He called.

I put the gun down and ran to Astrid.
"Hiccup!"
"Astrid! Thank Thor!"

I held her as she shook. Hope, mom, and dad came over and joined the hug. I kissed Hope's head and then kissed Astrid.

I'm going to get you Viggo.

I snapped out of my flash back as Astrid entered the room.
"Hey... thanks again, for yesterday." She said softly, giving me her one in million smile.
"I love you, of course I did that." I sighed holding her. A tear fell as I remembered how I could have lost her. My best friend, the love of my life.

"Hiccup, what's wrong, whats the bag for?" She asked suddenly.
"Oh! I...um...forgot to tell you!" I fibbed quickly.
"Tell me?"
"I...um...S-Snoutlout asked me to head over seeing Minds out of town! Yeah, sorry."
"Mm..." She said.

She hugged me again. We didn't let go.
"Your hiding something from me. Your not going to Snoutlout's... are you?" She asked.

I sighed.
"Your going after Viggo..."

And this is the part where you tell me not to go, won't let me go alone or, slap me. I thought.
"Your not going to tell me when, and take off when I least expect it."

She pulled away and pressed our heads together.
"Your not even listening are you?" She sighed.

We were both blushing alittle. My arms were on her waist as hers snaked around my neck.
"Ash..." I whispered.
"Hiccup, I'm not going to tell you not to go. I'm asking you..." She sighed.

I kissed her. We both let tears fall.
"I love you." I said.

She sighed and placed her head on my chest.
"I love you too. Whenever you go... please come back to me..."

Astrid's POV

I tucked Hope in bed.
"Mommy, where's daddy? He's been gone tree weeks." She asked.
"I don't know baby, and its three."
"T-h-ree. Tree."

I laughed she had lost her front tooth.
"It's ok baby. Night night. I love you."
"Night night Mama."

(Time skip, 3 am.)
"AH! MAMA!!!" Hope screamed.

I ran into her room.
"What?!?"

She was crying.
"M-m-momma..."

I ran to her bed side.
"Come here baby."

I move her onto my lap and held her.
"Did you have a bad dream?" I asked.

She nodded.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"N-n-o...can you s-sing?"
"Of course baby."

Come stop your crying
It'll be all right

I ran my hands through her long blonde hair and began to rock her.

Just take my hand
And hold it tight

I held her small hand in mine and she squeezed tight. I smiled softly.

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

Why can't they understand the way we feel
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different, but deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other, to have, to hold
They'll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you
But you got to hold on
They'll see in time, I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

Always I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always

Just look over your shoulder

I stood and laid her down as she began to drift off.

Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder

I tucked her in and kissed her head.
She sighed, rolling over to hug her teddy. I shut the lights off.

I'll be there
Always

I closed her door and went to my room. I went to shut the lights off.
"A-astrid?" I heard a voice ask.

I turned and saw Hiccup standing in the door way.

I slapped him. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.
"WHAT IN THOR WHERE YOU THINKING?!? GONE FOR THREE WEEKS?!? YOU'VE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!" I screamed.
"I-i-i-im sorry."
"I DONT...I don't..."

I broke down sobbing.
"I don't know what I would do without you..." I whispered.

He hugged me and I sobbed into his chest. He picked me up and sat us on the bed.
"Im sorry Ash...Viggo's gone now, you don't have to worry about me dissapering ever again."
"I..I..."
"You and Hope, you'll both always be in my heart. Forever."

I kissed him, he kissed back immediately.
"I love you." We both said.

And from then on, we were happy. Hiccup never disappeared again. And every day, I fell in love with him.

The end
