Chapter 9
Two months had passed since
Integra and Seras learned they were both expecting. The two women
were quickly learning how pregancy presented challenges to both
their bodies and their sanity. The changing hormones made life,
or unlife in Seras's case, sometimes very tedious for both the
mothers to be and their respective mates. And the trials the
mothers went through were only compounded by sometimes over
protective spouses.
"Integra dear, don't you
think you're working too hard lately?" Kenneth asked
watching his wife thumbing through a huge stack of papers.
"Kenneth, how many times
do I have to tell you not to call me dear. And if you must know I
am not working too hard. I may be pregnant but until it gets to
the point where I cannot get out of bed I am going to run this
organization as usual." Integra answered with an annoyed
tone.
"But the doctor said you
should minimize your stress. Working at the rate you're going
right now will put too much stress on your body and that's not
good for the baby." Kenneth protested.
"The only thing that is
stressing me out at this moment is you Kenneth. You know I have
to keep this organization running and that is what I intend to
do. The work I do is not dangerous to the baby. I'm sitting here
going through paper work. It's not bad enough that Alucard and
Walter nearly smother me to death. Must you do the same?"
"I'm only being concerned
about you and the baby. You don't have to be so bloody obstanate
about it." Kenneth said.
"I'm not being obstante.
I'm being irritated because everyone keeps lecturing me on how I
should run this organization while I'm pregnant. I've been
running this operation since I was thirteen. I think I bloody
well know what I'm doing." Integra replied. Her tone became
noticably more tacitern.
"You don't have to shout.
I can hear just fine." Kenneth responded trying to keep his
own composure in check.
"I'm not shouting! Now
will you just get out of here and let me finish this!"
"You are too shouting.
The whole mansion can hear you." Kenneth said putting his
finger to his mouth.
"Don't tell me to be
quiet!" Integra barked.
"I didn't tell you to be
quiet. For heaven's sake will you just calm down?" Kenneth
asked begging his wife to watch her temper.
"I AM CALM!"

Seras sat on her bed downing
her third pack of blood for the evening. Alucard materialized
into her room. "Putting away a lot tonight aren't you?"
He asked.
"What is that supposed to
mean?" Seras questioned feeling slightly insulted by the
inquiry.
"Nothing. It just seems
funny you're drinking so much so early in the evening."
Alucard replied.
"Funny, what's so funny
about me drinking this much so early in the evening?" Seras
asked with a very irritated look on her face.
"I wasn't implying
anything was funny. I just thought it a little odd for you to
feed so much before..."
"Feed so much? What are
you saying? Are you saying that I'm making a pig out of myself?
Is that what you're saying?" Seras demanded.
"No. I didn't say that at
all. I didn't say you were making a pig out of yourself. Where in
the world did you get such an idea?"
"Oh I don't know. You
just seem to think it's either odd or funny that I'm trying to
provide nurishment for myself and the baby. You think I'm feeding
to much don't you? You're thinking I'm going to drink so much
blood that I or this baby or perhaps us both are just going to
turn into two huge red blobs don't you?!" Seras snapped.
"Now just a minute. I
never said any of that. I just said..."
"Oh I know what you said!
You think I'm eating too much! You think I'm going to go on some
feeding frenzy and take all the rations up so you don't have any
for yourself! How can you be so selfish when I'm trying to take
care of our child!"
"Hold on! Where in the
world are you getting such ridiculous ideas?" Alucard
retorted sternly.
"Oh so now I'm being
ridiculous!"
"Will you pipe down? I
didn't say you were being ridiculous. I just said your ideas were
ridiculous."
"What???? I can't believe
you said that about me!" Seras yelled bursting into tears.
"I didn't say that about
you!" Alucard barked.
"Don't yell at me! It's
not my fault I have to feed so much!"
From the moment he opened his
mouth, Alucard just seemed to be sink deeper and deeper. Now
Seras was crying, and he didn't have the faintest idea what he'd
done to cause such a reaction. He just stood there shaking his
head knowing he wasn't going to win this battle.
"What did I do
wrong????" Alucard asked himself.
#########################################
Later that evening...
Seras knocked at the door of
Integra's office. "Who is it?" Integra asked wearily.
"Seras." She
answered.
"Come in." Integra
said. "Do you need something?" She asked.
"I was looking for
Alucard. We...sort of had a fight, and I was wondering if you'd
seen him." Seras answered.
"You and Alucard had a
fight?" Integra asked.
"Yes. I...kind of got
annoyed with him when he asked me something and well...I sort of
bit his head off about it."
"Are we talking
figuritively or literally?"
"Figuritively. I know he
didn't mean anything by what he asked. I couldn't help it. I just
got so emotional." Seras answered.
"Well, then we are both
in the same boat then. Kenneth was concerned about how much I've
been working, and I lost my temper with him. I know he's
concerned about the baby and I, but I just wish he'd give me some
space. I already have Alucard and Walter breathing down my neck
about how much I work. But I suppose I was perhaps a bit too
harsh on him. He's only trying to be a good husband. I can't
really fault him for that." Integra replied.
"Alucard made a remark
about how much blood I'd been drinking so early in the evening. I
took it the wrong way and before I knew it we were yelling at
each other and completely forgot why the argument started in the
first place." Seras said.
"I guess we should both
swallow our pride and go apologize to them. They meant no harm
against us. And we both treated them rather harshly."
Integra responded.
"I guess so." Seras
replied.
"Well, let's go find them
and get this over with." Integra stated.
As they both exited her office
they saw Walter walking toward them. "Walter, have you seen
Kenneth or Alucard?" Integra asked.
"I think I saw Kenneth
enter his private study. I haven't seen Alucard since I delivered
his dinner to him." Walter answered.
"Well, we can at least
find Kenneth then." Integra said.
"Is there a problem Sir
Integra?" Walter asked.
"No. I just need to talk
to him about something that's all." Integra answered.
Walter headed on his way
leaving Integra and Seras to go find Kenneth.
"He's probably just
staying in his study waiting for me to cool off." The
Hellsing leader commented.
"I hope Alucard hasn't
run off somewhere. I was really hard on him." Seras said
with concern.
"He's used to it. It
isn't the first time he's had a woman blow her top at him. He
gets enough of it from me. He's probably back in his chamber
waiting for things between you two to settle down." Integra
replied.
"Wait..." Seras
said. "I can hear voices coming from down the hall."
"Which room?"
Integra asked.
"Last door on the
left." Seras answered.
"Can you recognize the
voices?"
"Yes. One of them is
Kenneth and the other is...Alucard?"
"Oh no! You don't
think...."
"He better not
have!" Integra exclaimed as the two women rushed toward
Kenneth's study.
They got to Kenneth's room and
hurried to open the door. There they saw Alucard and Kenneth
sitting together at a table. A decanter of brandy and a bottle of
Alucard's bloodwine on the table top. Kenneth wearily raised his
head.
"Oh
Integra...hiccup."
"So nice to...hiccup, see
you. All three of you." Kenneth slurred as he slumped over
in the chair.
"Master...hiccup, you
never told me...hiccup, you had...hiccup, sisters." Alucard
muttered as his head hit the table in a stooper.
"Good lord. They're both
drunk out of their heads." Seras said.
"We're not...hiccup,
drunk. We're perfectly...hiccup, sober." Alucard said
verbally stumbling over himself. He attempted to sit up.
"See. I'll show you
were...hiccup, sober." He said as he tried to stand on
unsteady legs. He took one step foward and successfully toppled
foward falling flat on his face.
"Ohhhhhhh." He
groaned feeling his head smack against the hard floor. A small
pool of blood began to form where he had effectively broken his
nose.
"Damnit. Walter is not
going to be happy about that. It's going to be murder getting the
blood out of the cracks in the wood." Integra said.
"I guess we better call
him in here to help get Kenneth to bed." Seras replied.
"Do you think you can
help Alucard?" Integra asked.
"I think so." Seras
said. She stood beside her mate who was still passed out on the
floor. A black portal opened beneath them both. They began to
decend into the void.
"Men." She said to
herself as she went to find Walter.
#########################################
The next night Alucard awoke
to find himself in Seras's coffin bed with her sitting beside
him. She'd placed an ice pack on his head to try to soothe the
headache he suffered as a result of his raging hangover.
"Ohhhhh, being tortured
by the Sultan was merciful compared to this." He moaned
rubbing his throbbing temple.
"Well, that's what you
get for getting drunk Alucard." Walter scolded as he entered
Seras's room with rations for the two vampires.
"You're one to talk. I
can recall many a night when you ended up getting wasted."
Alucard retorted with a grumble of pain.
"Yes. I was also fifteen
and didn't know a bloody thing about what I was doing."
Walter replied.
"All right, both of
you." Seras chided.
She looked at Alucard and her
expression softened. "Look, I'm sorry I got so upset with
you last night. I don't know what came over me. I know you
weren't trying to be mean. I don't know why I acted the way I
did." Seras apologized.
"Forget about it Seras.
You couldn't help it. I forget women tend to get very emotional
when they're pregnant." Alucard replied.
"If you need any more
Miss Victoria, please let me know." Walter said as he left.
"Thank you Walter."
#########################################
A few nights passed. Seras put
on a pair of comfortable jeans and a tee shirt. She went up to
Zoey's room. "I'm ready whenever you are." The young
vampiress said.
"I'll be ready in just a
minute Seras." Zoey called from her bathroom.
Soon afterwards she emerged.
"Ok, I'm ready." She said. She wore tight black
leggings and a deep red cotton tunic.
"We'll have to go by
Integra's office first." Seras replied as they left Zoey's
room.
They headed toward Integra's
office. The door was already open as Seras gave a soft knock at
the doorway railing.
"I suppose you two are
ready." Integra said while looking through her paper work.
"Yes Sir." Seras
replied.
"Very well. My driver is
waiting on you both. Here, you'll need this." Integra said
taking a card out of her desk.
"Please use it
responcibly. Don't make any unneccessary charges if you don't
have to. And you'll need these as well."
"Contacts?" Seras
asked.
"Yes. They've been
specially crafted to hide the red of your eyes. They should be
comfortable for you to wear at least for a few hours."
Integra answered.
"I guess I better put
them on before we leave then." Seras said.
"That would be advisable.
And don't be gone all night. While you're on maternity leave,
Zoey is not. I'll need her to get her sleep so she can work the
next day. I want you both back at midnight, understood?"
"Yes Sir."
