Epilogue- A year later

(Hiccup's P.O.V.)

It has been barely a hour since I had gone into labor, and I breathed easily as this new pregnancy has been easy all the way, preparing the house for our 24th child. It has been a eventual year since the battle at Hogwarts. Several of our children had taken seats of Harry's titles at the Ministry House, formerly the Wizengoment. Right now, we have our latest children, 16 years old twins Rick and Vinci, and 12 year old Willow, as the other children has passed 17 or 18, having families over the years.

We have 12 boys and 8 girls. The oldest children are Ahana Lillian, and Brianna 'Bina' Sabi, the first set of twin girls from myself, the third of the brood is a boy named Cavan Jameson from Harry. The fourth, fifth, sixth of the brood are shockingly triplets; two boys and one girl from Harry: Dagen Zaberius, Elgin Huntington, and Fiona Sapphire. The seventh child came from me, a boy named Gordon Barrinet. The eighth child came from Harry, a girl named Halfrida 'Frida' Ingrid.

The ninth child came from me, a boy named Izod 'Zod' Stellan. Then there's the next set of twins from Harry; tenth and eleven, and it's a girl and a boy. The girl, we named her, Jacqueline 'Jackie' Victoria, and the boy is called Kalin 'Kal' Erickson. Then from me, the twelth child is a girl, Leana Sif. Later on, from Harry, the thirteenth boy, we named him Magnus Loki. And we had another bigger surprise, I gave birth to triplets; two boys and one girl: Niki Oceanus as the fourteenth, Odin Ramses as the fifteenth, and Primrose Gaia as the sixteenth.

For the seventeenth child, this was a big change as we blood-adopted a foundling baby boy, naming him Quillan 'Quill' Wilderness. From Harry, the eighteenth child, naming the boy, Ren Thomas. We took another chance, or rather two chances at blood-adopting again, and so we found our nineteenth and twentieth children in two non-related boys, but still bonded to each other like brothers. We asked them if they'd like to change their names as they were having a new future with us, and they said yes, so, we named them; Sandy Volstagg and Taren Xavier.

And Rick, Vinci, and Willow are the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of the brood. From our children, we became grandfathers of 28 grandchildren, which was incredibly amazing. I winced with a sharp breath as my unborn child let me know that she or he is ready to see our world, and I looked at Harry who was gripping my hand softly. {"I think this is the easiest one by far. The baby is coming.".}

Harry nuzzled my cheek softly, kissing me on the temple, {"Just breathe, push, and let go. You have done this so many times already.".} He grinned with a chuckle, and I chuckled softly, focusing on the push, breathing as I pushed hard, with Harry coming around to catch the baby's head, and I exhaled heavily as I gave a last push, feeling the shoulders of the baby coming through, then a hearty cry filled the household.

{"We got a girl! Wow, she looks so beautiful.".} Harry proclaimed happily as our daughter came out fully from me, being cleaned up by Harry softly and quickly. I moved up to sit, and smiled, {Let me see her, my raven.".} Harry moved his chair over, holding our daughter in a warm fur blanket, giving her into my arms which I held instinctively, thanks to being a carrier multiple times.

I stared down at our daughter, who has a few visible tufts of crimson red hair with black highlights on the end of the tufts, emerald green eyes, and having tan skin, perfectly healthy. {"She is perfect. It's your turn to do the first name.".} I looked up to see Harry blinking a few tears, and I smiled teasingly which he caught, and giggled.

He pursued his lips thoughtfully, and then his eyes brightened as something sparked in his mind. {Her name is Xabrina.".} I mouthed it, and replied, {"It's quite a mouthful, I suppose that the children will have a nickname for her to call easier.".} Harry nodded, {"Yes, but you have to admit, it sounds unique for a unique girl like ours.".}

I chuckled, {"Fair enough. Her middle name shall be Crystal.".} Harry blinked, {Huh, Xabrina Crystal Haddock. I like it. A mouthful of a full name when she gets in trouble, but it could definitely get her attention for sure.".} I kissed Harry on the lips, and he purred softly, and whispered in English, "I got something big to tell you later, but right now, I think the children are coming in from their adventure.". I nodded, and sure enough, I heard the door opening, and closing with the children whispering in low tones.

They came in, shocked at first, then smiling in happiness and joy as they saw us with their newest sibling in my arms. {"Papa, are you alright? Did the baby hurt you?".} asked Willow nervously yet excitedly.

{"No, love. Your baby sister came out just fine. Come closer to see her, all of you.".} I replied softly, and the twins walked over, with Willow at front. I moved little Xabrina slightly, showing her to her big siblings. {"Aww, she looks so cute. She kinda looks like Willow in a baby-like way.".} Rick cooed as Vinci took a deep look at his little sister, and Willow gasped in awe as she beheld her newest sibling, her little sister!

Harry replied, "Her name is Xabrina Crystal.". Vinci raised a eyebrow, "A English name, huh? I suppose that makes sense as our Norse language doesn't have any 'X' names, and I bet the Latin language doesn't either.".

Harry shrugged with a nod, as Willow replied, "That's hard to say. Can we nickname her 'Rina'?". Rick agreed easily, "Rina, that actually works to speak easier. Is that okay, Dad, Papa?".

I chuckled warmly, {"That's just fine with me. Harry?".} Harry hugged Willow softly, {"You clever girl, that's a good nickname for our newest family member. I love it!".} The kids giggled lightly, happy for this occasion. Later on, after we planned to have a small group of our children in the next few days to visit Rina, we headed to bed, with Rina tucked in the family cradle as it's warded for everything.

{"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?".} I cuddled Harry under our blanket, clothed in our pajamas, and Harry grinned, {"I'm pregnant again. I just checked with Gustav.".}

I exhaled in surprise and awe, {"How far along?".} Harry giggled, {"Three months. But the best thing is that I am having twins again!".} I blinked, {"Wow, 25 and 26, and that means we reached the end of the alphabet, 'Y' and 'Z'.".}

Harry nodded, {"Yep, and I want to say this as well. Look, I think I am done after the twins are born later. I mean, we are 31 years old!".} I agreed, {"I think you are right. Giving birth to Rina was the easiest one in Haddock history, but it was also hard as I am just wanting to raise all the remaining children in the house, and with the twins turning 17 next year, the house is getting fuller again.".}

Harry kissed me, thought softly to me, {"You know that means we are using the anti-conception spell from now on.".} I hugged him closer and smirked, {"True, but it doesn't matter as long as we can make love to each other, and be together forever.".} Harry then rested his head upon my chest, smiling with blinking eyes. {"I love you, Hiccup Haddock.".} I smiled as I kissed his forehead gently, and relaxing as I soon welcomed sleep, whispering, {"I love you, Harry Haddock.} Harry sighed, sleeping softly, the sound of his breath peaceful to my ears, and I closed my eyes to darkness.

Both worlds are at peace, and changing with a child at a time. Life is good and well.
