Lyf : HTTYD HEADCANONS pt.1
(Haddock Family)
Y'all know that fetuses can start hearing things and registering sounds within around the second trimester? And that there is a common agreed headcanon that Hiccup is a night owl? Let's use it
Imagine: Astrid is halfway into the second trimester of her first pregnancy and gets tired very easily sleeping very early at night. Ever since the pregnancy revelation, Hiccup being Hiccup has been overprotective and concerned for her, this also includes his clinginess.
Now that the baby has started to kick and respond to its parents' words Hiccup is prone to reading the notes of his inventions (old and new) and political documents aloud at night. He also voices out his thoughts on the treaties and documents, explaining to no one in particular on why the plot of land next to the river would make for a good storehouse for future rations, or why signing a treaty with the Berserker tribe is beneficial or why adding a bolt and nut instead of hammering down a nail to this part of the invention would be a better alternative.
He had made a makeshift study next to their bed where Astrid sleeps now that she had entered the second trimester. This prompts the little bean inside Astrid to listen to all her father's rambling getting information on everything. Astrid wakes up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty when she hears her husband narrating a treaty document. Hiccup replies "Shhhhh, the baby can hear" to which the fetus kicks in response as if agreeing with its father.
This might suggest why Zephyr knows such advanced mechanical set ups and and designs traps at such a young age in the Homecoming short. Those traps are actually very advanced for someone of 5-8 year old to understand and carry out even if she did stumble upon Hiccup's old notebook where he had ideas of his own to take down dragons before the first movie.
But as family progress into the second pregnancy Hiccup has a toddler to entertain and a pregnant wife to take care of.
So imagine : all three of them cuddling by the hearth where Hiccup tells stories to Zephyr about adventures and crazy-made-up giants which he acts out always making his ladies giggle and makes the baby kick in response.
This might suggest why Nuffink is more adventurous than Zephyr. He's been introduced to it before he was born
Tl;dr : Hiccstrid babies enjoy replying to their father talking, and Hiccup was a nerd when Zephyr was born. Hiccup was a storyteller when Nuffink was born.
A/n: most prolly gonna write this and post it on my AO3.
