Back again with another chapter!

Astrid had put Hailey in her bed and was cleaning up the kitchen when Hiccup came home. 

"Hey, how is she?" Hiccup asked. 

"She's just sleeping. So I thought I would just clean up the kitchen and start on supper." Astrid said. 

"Good, I'm glad she's sleeping. Did she eat crackers or anything?" Hiccup asked. 

"No, she didn't want too." Astrid said. Hiccup walked over and kissed Astrid's cheek. She smiled. 

"She said something to me today." Astrid said. 

"Oh? What is that?" Hiccup said opening the fridge. 

"She called me 'mommy'." Astrid said. Hiccup stopped and looked at Astrid. 

"Really?" He said and Astrid nodded. "Well, don't tell Cami that." 

"You're not upset about it?" Astrid asked. 

"Why would I be? You're more of a mom to her than Cami is. You've spent more time with her in the time we've known you than Cami has since she's been born. If anyone deserves to be called mom by her, it's you." Hiccup said. Astrid smiled. 

"Thanks, babe." She said kissing him. Hiccup smiled.

Astrid was walking down the road to the small convenience store at the corner of where the apartment building was. There was a small alleyway between two buildings and she was grabbed and pulled in with a hand over her mouth. The person slammed her against the brick wall. 

It was Sean. 

He held a knife to Astrid's neck and she was breathing heavily. 

"Don't think I'm not watching you, bitch. You think by moving in with some guy is gonna keep me away from you. You will be mine if it's the last thing to I do." Sean said. He put a hand on her waist and dragged it down. 

Astrid grabbed his hand pushing it off of herself. 

"I forced it on you once, I'll do it again." He said trying to grab her shirt. 

Astrid moved her leg and lifted her knee up and getting Sean in the groin. He loosened his grip and fell to the ground in pain. Astrid grabbed his knife and kicked him. 

"Stay the hell away from me!" She said. She walked away and put the knife down a sewer. She walked into the convenience store and got the couple things she needed and took a different way back to the apartment. She came in putting the bag on the counter. She put the stuff away. She was a little shaken up about what happened. 

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

It was the weekend and Hailey was feeling better, she was also excited because Heather was coming over that day. Someone knocked at the door and Hailey ran to get it, Astrid walked over to the door with her. Hailey opened it.  

"Hi!" Hailey said. 

"Hi," Heather said smiling. "Hey, Astrid." 

"Hey, Heather." Astrid said letting her in and giving her a hug. 

"Who's this?" Heather asked. 

"I'm Hailey!" Hailey said. 

"Hiccup's daughter." Astrid said. 

"Is he here too?" Heather asked. 

"Yeah, he's just in our room right now." Astrid said. "Can I get you something to drink?" 

"Tea?" Heather asked. Astrid nodded and put the kettle on to boil water. 

"Make yourself at home. Hailey might bombared you with questions." Astrid said. Heather smiled. 

"It's okay." she said finding a seat on the couch. Astrid went to the bedroom and opened the door. 

"Babe, Heather's here." She said. Hiccup was reading a book and he looked up at Astrid and nodded. 

"Okay." He said. He put his book down and got up and came with her to the living room. 

"Heather, this is my boyfriend Henry, but we call him Hiccup. Hiccup, this is my best friend Heather." Astrid said. 

"It's nice to meet you, Heather." Hiccup said. 

"You too." Heather said. Hailey came into the living room with a few of her toys so she could play in there. 

Astrid was in the kitchen making Heather and herself some tea. 

"Babe, do you want some tea?" Astrid asked. 

"Sure m'lady." Hiccup said sitting in a chair. Astrid made his as well and then brought the mugs into the living room and sat on the couch with Heather. 

They visited and talked and caught up on everything they needed too. It was the evening and Heather stayed for dinner before leaving. Hiccup put Hailey to bed and then came and joined Astrid in the living room on the couch. She sat against the arm of the couch sideways with her legs over his lap. Hiccup turned on some random show. 

"I have a meeting on Monday with the lawyer about this custody thing." Hiccup said. Astrid looked at him. 

"Hiccup, it's going to be fine. Okay?" She said holding his hand. Hiccup smiled at her. 

"I'm just worried that for some reason, they let Cami have her. But I don't want Cami anywhere near her anymore. She basically tried kidnapping her from school, and Hailey has told me what Cami and her boyfriend Brad do when she's there. That's why I don't let her go there anymore. That and Cami basically said that she doesn't want anything to do with her and called her a brat. Which is why I decided to file for custody in the first place." Hiccup said. Astrid nodded. 

"That's tough. I'm sorry I have little to say, I never had to deal with this type of situation." She said. 

"It's fine, just having someone to listen is nice too. I'm not pouring everything onto my mom now either." Hiccup said. Astrid smirked. 

"Good, I'm glad you can talk to me. I will help you with this if I have too." She said. Hiccup smirked and kissed her. Astrid kissed him back and it got heated quickly. 

Soon, Astrid was laying underneath Hiccup and Hiccup was kissing her and slowly moved to her jaw and then her neck. Their legs were tangled in between each other and Hiccup had a hand reaching under Astrid's top. Astrid gasped when she felt his hand on her bare skin. Hiccup kissed lower to her collarbone and then stopped for a minute and looked at Astrid in her eyes. Astrid nodded slightly at him. 

"You want too?" He asked. She nodded again. 

"Yes." Astrid said and Hiccup kissed her again. "Hiccup..." 

"Hmm?" He said looking at her. 

"We should go in the bedroom." Astrid said. Hiccup agreed and they got up and went to the bedroom. 

Hiccup closed the door and Astrid was on him in seconds. Her legs were wrapped around his waist and her shirt was off. Her hands were tangled in Hiccup's hair and Hiccup laid her on the bed. Hiccup took off his own shirt too and started kissing Astrid again, moving back down to her neck and down to her chest. Astrid could feel the heat inside her building and Hiccup climbed on top of her on the bed. 

I think it was safe to say, a lot more happened between the two of them that night. 

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

It had been a few days and Hiccup was trying to get Hailey out of bed. 

"Sweetie, let's go please, you're going to be late." Hiccup told his five-year-old. 

"I don't want to go to school today." Hailey said covering her head with the blanket. Hiccup sighed and walked over and sat on her bed. 

"Munchkin, you need to go to school, so you can learn lots of neat things." Hiccup said. 

"I don't want to learn neat things. I wanna go to grandma's pet store." Hailey said. 

"We can go after school, I promise." Hiccup said. Hailey moved the blanket from her face. 

"Really?" Hailey said looking at Hiccup. 

"Really, but you need to get dressed and eat something." Hiccup said. 

"Did mommy make something?" Hailey said. Hiccup smiled that she had been calling Astrid "mommy" for a little while now.

"Yes, mommy made something. Now come on." He said. Hailey got up and ran to the kitchen. Hiccup followed her. 

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

As promised, after school, Hiccup, Astrid and Hailey went to the pet store to see Valka and the animals. Hailey ran to the puppies like she always did. Astrid had noticed this, especially a little black labrador puppy that Hailey loved. The puppy seemed to like her too. 

"Babe," Astrid said. 

"Yeah?" Hiccup said. 

"Have you thought about getting Hailey a pet?" Astrid asked. Hiccup nodded. 

"Just can't right now. I hope to eventually." He said. Astrid nodded and continued to watch Hailey play with the puppy.
