The first date. As first date goes, hiccup thinks it went alright. He took her to a fancy restaurant, and paid for both their meals. However since he was the mayors son he thought it would be best to treat the lady, yet she knew who he was, but she still thanked him anyway. He was now driving her home, to a small apartment up town she stated since she had just moved back she need just a place to crash, he understood, sorta. He was driving, but once and a while he would just glance and stare at her, her beauty, her smile, her blue crystal eyes. These were all signs of a goddess. A goddess named Astrid Hofferson.

But this goddess was no stranger to him, he had known her his whole life. It started when he was 7 and he was in school, a new family had just came into town and since his dad was mayor he made it his job to invite the Hofferson family to lunch and that's when he met her, and he was in love from the start. At first astrid didn't like him, but then they became best friends. The kind where he was the brains and she was the fists. But that changed once high school started, she became one of the 'it' girls hanging round with the one and only snotlout Jorgenson, aka his cousin. They became distant but as soon as high school finished they became close again, really close, best friends, sometimes a bit more but officially best friends. It was only when they were both 18 that her parents sprung on her that they were moving down south with some family and he never saw her again. Until Tuesday, 7 years later and she still looked amazing.

it was weird he had only came to his farther's office to switch the car keys back and their she was walking out of his farther's office, they started talking about everything, mainly her. And then it turned into a coffee date, which went to a lunch date, then lead to a first date. And now was pulling up to a block of apartments.

" So I, had a nice time." Astrid said while gathering up her things and lay them on her lap.

" yeah it was really nice to catch up with you, I really missed you" he said while reaching out to hold her hand, and she gladly expected it.

" I really missed you too hic" she leaned over and placed her lips to his cheeks, once she pulled back hiccups face went bright red and that sheepish smile he had back when they were teenagers returned.

" What - what was t-that for?" He stuttered while still holding her hand.

" For old time sakes" he smirked as the memory returned.

" gods yes, the old punch me then kiss me routine. And it never failed to shock me." She started to laugh and he joined remembering what it was like 7 years ago.

" Hey hic, do you remember the night before the day I left?"

" Yeah, I snuck into your house, into your room, for one last good bye." He answered nervously and very embarrassed.

She started to giggle at his shyness. " hic we slept together, no need to be embarrassed."

" No no it's not that, it just you were my first, that night has always been in my mind." His eyes drifted to the grown as he spoke.

" Hiccup I knew I was your first, I could tell by how nervous you were. But even though you weren't mine, that night has stayed in my mind too."

They both stare at each other, it was probably only for a second but to them it seemed like forever.

" Would you like to come in for coffee?" Astrid said breaking hiccup out of his gaze.

" Yeah I'd love to."

They both climbed out of the car and went the door, once buzzed in by astrid, she led him to her apartment which was on the bottom floor. The light was on.

" Did you leave a light on?"

" Must have"

she opened the door but before entering she stood in the door way in front of him.

" Just so you know, it messy." She said standing firm.

" If it's anything like your room, I'll be fine." Said hiccup as he leaned in closer only to be interrupted by a small voice from behind her.

" Mo- mommy?" Astrid head whipped back like lightning to see a small boy, aged two at the maximum. He stood their with his feet bare, little cotton pants and what looked like a knitted jumper, blue. He had brown hair and bright blue eyes and he stood holding a plastic toy dinosaur in his hands.

" Ollie sweetie. What you doing here?" Out from around the corner walked out an angry ginger haired women, she looked around her 20's and did not look happy.

" Your late. And you owe me 30." She said while holding her hand out. Astrid reached into her pocket and pulled out three tens, she paid the lady and then the woman stormed out, while shouting back.

" Don't call me again"

Astrid let out a loud sigh before returning to the young boy, she walked over and picked him up. She grasped him tight before kissing him on the cheek then placing him on the couch that was not far from them. Once he was placed down she turn on the kids channel and left the boy to his programs. Then slowly she returned to a bewildered hiccup.

" So" was all he could say.

" Sooo" she repeated.

" You have a son"

" yeah" her eyes still not leaving the ground.

" He's cute" he head shot up and he smiled at her, watched her smile back. " he's my world."

" Is that coffee still open or, maybe an other day?"

she smirked at him " coffee sounds great, come on in" he walked in and closed the door then followed Astrid to the dining table where he sat while she made coffee. Once made she returned to him with to cups in her hands.

" Thanks"

" your welcome" she sat down next to her, she was waiting for the question she knew that was coming.

" So, Ollie is his name then?" Hiccup asked taking another slurp of his coffee.

" hiccup ask me what you really want to ask me" he smiled sheepishly and then asked.

" How? When? Who? If you don't mind me asking" she smiled at him and placed her coffee down. " if it was anyone else I wouldn't say, but it's you hiccup, I know I can trust you."

He smiled back and listened to her story " Ollie has just turn 2 on September 18th, I was 22 when I got pregnant with him. It was around Christmas time."

" so I'm guessing his farther is in the loop?" Taking another slurp.

Astrid just stared at the coffee in her hands, " hiccup, Ollie's biological father is Peter Walker" she still didn't take her eyes off the coffee.

He gulped. Had he heard that right? He knew who Peter Walker was, he had been on the news more than the weather. " Astrid Peter Walker is on death row for rape and murder of hundreds of women"

" guess I just got lucky, he didn't kill me" her eyes still stayed down, she only lifted her head when she felt his hands on hers.

" I'm so sorry Astrid." He squeezed her hand. " there's nothing to be sorry about now, I've had so many apologies that can last a lifetime. So as first dates go, you have had a full sob story." She said having a sad smile on her face.

" Ast it's not like we are strangers, I've known you my whole life. And im glad you have told me." He gave her a warm smile hoping she would return it, and she did.

" Mo-mommy, mommy?" The little voice from the couch spoke. His little head popped out from behind the couch, eyes filling up.

" What's up baby?" Astrid asked while getting up from the chair and making her way to the small boy.

" I, whereas Billy?"

" I don't know babe, can't you find him." She crouched down by the smal boy, flipping up pillows to find this billy.

" Who's billy?" Hiccup asked getting up from where he sat and stood behind the couch.

" Err, he is Ollie's toy dragon."

" What does he look like" hiccups stopped for a minute did he just call a toy 'he'. Oh well.

" Well like a normal dragon, small, toy size, tail, wings-" she said searching in this toy boy near the tv.

" And purple and cuddly." Hiccup finished off has he lifted out a soft purple cuddly dragon that was behind a set of draws. Astrid drop everything and closed the chest. She ran over to hiccup, relieved.

" yes that's it thats the one" she grabbed his collar and brought his lips to hers, she only pulled back once she realised what she just did.

" I'm sorr-" but was cut off by his lips.

" Mommy" Astrids head turned to the little boy again, who's eyes were fixed on the purple dragon hiccup held.

" This what you want little guy?" Hiccup said taking the dragon to him, he sat down next to Ollie and held out his hand towards him with the dragon in it. But the little boy didn't take it, instead he stared at hiccup, frightened some might say.

" Ollie, it's okay, he is a friend of mine, he won't shout at you." Astrid said from behind.

" Hey Ollie, you like stories?" Hiccup asked still holding onto the dragon. The boy nodded but still kept his distance

" well i tell great stories, especially with toys. Would you like me to tell you one?" Ollie looked at his mother for reassurance, then nodded back to hiccup.

" Okay, why don't you pick two more toys from that chest over there and I'll tell a little story" Astrid watched as her son, slowly climbed off the sofa and run to the toy chest, as he slowly opened it, his little eyes searched around the box until they lit up once he found a plastic dinosaur, the one he had before, and a little soft bunny, a bit smaller than the purple dragon. As soon as he had then he closed the chest and came running over to the couch, he threw the toys onto the couch, then jumped up after them. He then sat patiently waiting for what hiccup would do next.

" What a fine choice you have made may I ask what are these little fellas names?" Hiccup asked, playing along. He knew what it was like to be a little boy, what it was like to be the only child, since he too had no siblings. He knew the way to deal with being the only child was to make friends of your own, which was even a pet or a toy.

They boy looked at Astrid and she nodded in reassurance. " err the bunny called Candy, the dinosawer called Sam." Hiccup smirked at the fact of this little boy trying to pronounce the word dinosaur.

" okay Ollie, lets introduce these fine creatures to each other shall we." Astrid watched as her old time friend from the past made her boy laugh and giggle. It got to 5:30 when she started to make Ollie's dinner but since he was enjoying what was only a five minute story that turned into an hour and a half story she made him a ham sandwich with some cheese and onion crisps and a pot of chopped up apples and strawberries.

It got to 6:30 when Astrid was in the middle of making her dinner, and she decided it was time for bed. " okay Ollie, time to get ready for bed" Astrid said putting the pan on simmer and walking up behind the couch.

" But mommy, one more" ollie pleaded holding up one finger to indicate only wanting one more story.

" No, you have had two hours worth of stories, maybe even more, it's time for bed. Now put candy and Sam in the chest and take billy into your room. I'll come in, in a minute okay." The boy nodded his head and put his toys back in the chest,mother ran into his room holding the billy in his hands.

As soon as he was in his room hiccup stood up and turned to Astrid. " he's an amazing little boy, and got the cutes laugh." She giggled and returned the smile he gave her.

" Yeah, look I've just got to help him get ready and tuck him in. But I've made chicken tikka would like some for dinner?"

" I'd love some"

xx

" goodnight baby" Astrid kissed the top of Ollie's head as she tucked him in.

" Good night mommy, I like him" yawned Ollie as he snuggled into the quilt.

" Yeah me too, he is a friend of mommy's when I was a child. His name is hiccup." the child laughed at the name, giggles for ages.

" I get hiccups, hiccup gets hiccups" he started to giggle again. This time making Astrid laugh too.

" Okay okay, hush now, go to bed" she kissed his head again and left the room closing the door from behind.

once out of the room her eyes found hiccup looking at some pictures of her and Ollie when he was only a few days old.

" That one is my favourite, the one where Ollie is in a knitted hat. My grandmother, the one that lives down south loves Ollie, she is always knitting him stuff and sending it up here to me. I thought my mother might start to knit once Ollie was born but you remember my mother never one to do active work." Hiccup looked at the picture one more time and then placed it down.

" You looked so happy in that photo" he stated.

" I was, even though I had never picture having a child that way, the moment I saw him, I fell in love. In a way that I can't explain. I'll do anything for him, be anyone for him, he's my world. No matter who is biological father is." She said leaning on the back of the couch.

" I've noticed, you never say dad"

" that's because hiccup, Peter is not my sons dad. He is the biological father." She got up from where she was leaning and walked to the kitchen to put the chicken tikka onto two plates and then set them on the table with two knifes and folks. As soon as Astrid sat down hiccup joined her while thanking her for the meal.

" so who would be Ollie's dad then?" He asked while digging into his dinner.

" No one so far. My grandma always says that you have a biological parents and a mum and dad. Now your biological parents can be your mum and dad, it all depends on if they raise you. But it's like adoption, the pleople that raise you are you mum and dad. You get where I'm coming from."

" yeah my mum says that all the time" after a while they had finished up with their dinner and hiccup offered to clean up and do the dishes. It got to about nine o'clock when hiccup said he best go home, since he had work. But before he left he turned around to ask something.

" Before I go, next week Friday, I know this great farm that has the worlds best coffee. Starbucks." She smiled at his little joke.

" I can't. Remember my babysitter cancelled on me."

" Yeah, that's why we are going to a farm. As it has the best coffee, and hot chocolate and play area for kids age 12 months to 4 years old." He gave her that smug look.

" You want me to take Ollie?" She questioned. " yeah"

" Why would you want that?" She questioned again.

" Because, I like the little guy, he's grown on me." He smirked raising her eye brows.

" Fine" she gave in, as he started to do his little victory dance.

" Now go, or you with be late for bed" she teased.

" Oi stop moming me" he teased back, but before she closed the door in his face he leaned in for her lips, and she melted right into it.

" Night"

" night"

And she closed the door.
