It was a baby. A baby ,swaddled in blankets, lying alone in the grass , crying as hard as its tiny body could , almost as it was scared . Curiosity getting the better of him as it once did with his draconic friend - he realized he had a real problem with that - Hiccup returned his sword to its sheathed position in the holster on his back and slowly tip-toed his way to the baby , he was crying so hard it seemed as if it hardly noticed him until he carefully picked it up and placed it in his long-noodle like arms. One good look at the infant child's face made Hiccup melt inside - it was the most adorable thing he had ever seen , and he had seen Toothless with those pleading , dilated puppy dog eyes a lot of times . 

The baby looked to be a boy , Hiccup could tell , that couldn't be any older than maybe a few months . He wore little footy pajamas made from sheep wool and just as soft , something Hiccup's mother had barely noticeable strands of brown hair just beginning to grow on his head , and a cute , little button nose . Hiccup bounced the baby as he cradled it, shushing to calm him down ; little by little , the baby stopped crying and soon opened his big eyes just like his . Big, sad, green eyes that reminded Hiccup of the boy he used to be , and knew they had something in common . Perhaps it was some kind of message from the Gods , for him to meet this child that , as with toothless he could see himself, but what kind of message ? What did it mean? Hiccup could only wonder for a second before focusing back on the infant himself, a warm feeling growing inside him he would never had guessed had been adopted from his late mother . 

"hey little guy", Hiccup gently said in almost a whisper , smiling with a manner of love and compassion only a parent could feel . He placed a finger inside the slip in the baby's clothes and onto his soft flesh , tickling the baby's belly and making him giggle. "what's a cute thing like you doing in a scary forest like this ?" Hiccup seriously had to wonder that : this was , after all, a baby in his hands, and he knew for a fact that parents were not supposed to leave their child alone . Lest those children end up  like him, bitter and unhappy with life . 

"Where's your mama? Or your Daddy?" Daddy - the word felt like bile on his tongue , his issues with his own former father more than likely being the source of that feeling . Still Hiccup had to remain impartial - all fathers were different , after all , and he knew he couldn't blame all for the actions of just one . His father had done so with the dragons , and look where it got everyone . Lives and livestock lost every other night and precious resources and manpower squandered on utterly pointless hunts for a nest they could never find. He started at the baby looking for an answer , almost like the baby could answer him; as suspected , the baby stared at him blankly . 

According to Viking culture , babies who were too weak to become proper Vikings or even make it through the first few nights following their birth were to be left up in the mountains to die . A very harsh tradition, but necessary for a clan or tribe seeking to protect their reputation , and really , it seemed like reputation was the only thing any Vikings really cared about . Hiccup despised that - he knew that deep down , if it were his father's choice, if his mother hadn't been taken that night , that would have been his fate. Yet he survived , and he had been shaming his father and the Hooligan Tribe ever since . It seemed that the whole of tradition existed just to make him suffer for not being able to be something he wasn't . he would not let that happen to this child . 

"Well , little guy, if you've got nowhere to go, why not come with me . I was planning on it being just me and my dragon, but hey, the more the merrier ." He said to the baby , who smiled and cooed in response. Smiling , Hiccup carried the baby away back to his campsite . Boy, was Toothless going to be surprised.... 

It wasn't that long walk back to the campsite, and the place in question was easily distinguishable from the surrounding area. It was a small clearing about half the size of the cove back on Berk - there was a small ring of rocks with burned sticks inside indicating a campfire already put out for the following day, and a small lean-to made up for stronger sticks found deeper in the woods and covered up with a leather trap. Inside was his bag of supplies , still mostly filled with all its contents . The most discernible feature , however , was the large black dragon who was now wide awake and looking extremely irritated , like a doting older sibling or parent. 

'Where the HELL have you been?! The dragon seemed to say with his expression; Toothless was extremely protective of Hiccup, as such didn't like it when his rider wander off. He couldn't even stand it when Hiccup left their cove for the day, and would always beg him to stay and spend more time with him , even hoping the boy would stay forever . Now , he had all day to worry about his boy, and as wonderful as it was , it was exhausting too. 

"sorry, bud",Hiccup apologized to his dragon. "but look what I found".

Hiccup held the baby up, grasping both side of him , and then lowered the baby to Toothless , who sniffed at him. Toothless irritated mood melted away as quickly as Hiccup's cautious one when he first saw it, replaced with curiosity as his eyes slightly morphed into slits and began to sniff the tiny creature in his rider's hands. Toothless had always wondered about humans before he met Hiccup, specifically basic facts like what they eat and why they only had fur on their heads and faces rather than their whole body , and why they had interchangeable furs. During dragon mating season, he had even wondered what the human equivalent of a dragon hatchling was - now, he guessed , he had his answer. After a few more seconds of sniffing , pressing his large snout on the baby's belly to sniff its furs and blankets , he flashed a dragon grin and cooed : this creature was obviously harmless - What possible malice could an infant carry anyway? He licked the baby's face slightly with his eyes dilated again, causing the creature to giggle . Toothless made a weird guttural sound , which was his equivalent to a laugh - apparently he made the baby happy .

'But where's his mother ? or even his father?' The dragon seemed to be asking Hiccup as his eyes turned back to him . 'He's just a hatchling, after all'. He looked back to the baby, appalled that anyone could leave such a fragile thing alone- then again, he had wondered the same thing about Hiccup ever since they left. Dragon parents were always taking care of their young: the mother would feed them and nest them while the father would teach them how to fly and hunt. Even if the young dragons grew quickly , having their parents to raise and nurture them is necessary. 

" I don't know where his parents are", Hiccup admitted sadly "or if he has any family nearby. Poor baby , all alone." His attention soon turned back to the baby as well as his finger brushing against his tiny little cheek . "That's why I've decided that I'm going to take care of him . You don't mind, do you bud?" Hiccup asked Toothless, to which the dragon cooed and licked his cheek. Hiccup was a very kind person, just the kind of person that this child truly needed right now. "Thanks bud," said Hiccup as he pat his dragon's head and gave him a light scratching . "I'll be sure not to let us down". Thats when he looked up and noticed that the sky was getting dark, the first of the stars appearing as the warm glow of the sun fading away . 

 The baby needed a place to sleep, somewhere warm and soft so he wouldn't be uncomfortable . So Hiccup walked over to the lean-to and emptied his bag of its contents, taking the fur blanket he had brought from his old home and placed it neatly on the ground , folded up to halfway to protect the baby from the hard earth beneath . Then he carefully placed the baby in the bag , making sure that the blankets he already had on him were warm enough for him and wrapped up snug and tight. The baby looked so cozy that he fell asleep almost immediately , so peaceful that Hiccup just wanted to drop to sleep right next to him. 

"There you go," Hiccup said as he knelt down and stroked the baby's almost non-existed hair. that's when a thought flashed through Hiccup's head - he had been calling the baby just 'the baby'  this whole time. Hiccup knew that if he was going to be taking care of. a child now , the first thing he needed to do was give this child a name . "We should name him," He said out loud , pondering some names for norse children as Toothless stomped over next to him , his left arm holding his right with his finger bent on his lips in deep thought. "How about..." Hiccup trailed off , thinking for a while before an idea popped into his head.

"Alvis?" 

Toothless cocked his head at the sound of the name , then looked down and narrowed his eyes as if considering the name himself . Before long , he nodded in approval. 'It's interesting.....like....Hiccup'. "Hey!" Hiccup Joking protested , like he was reading Toothless's thoughts . Toothless snickered before licking his cheek again , bringing a small to Hiccup's face. Honestly , how could one dragon be so infuriating and so lovable at the same time . 

"All right , you stupid reptile . Alvis it is ," Hiccup declared as he looked back to the baby, hesitating for a moment before bending over to kiss its forehead for goodnight. 'Guess what, Hiccup?' Toothless seemed to ask in a soft yipping noise. "What?" Hiccup turned back to look at Toothless .

'You're a DADDY now'

by the way Alvis means - all wise for those who don't know
