Chapter 11
Five months later....
Alucard, Seras, Zoey, Pickman,
Integra, Kenneth and Walter and Megan all sat in the library of
the mansion. Outside rain poured down in sheets while thunder
boomed through the sky. It was a perfect night for a baby shower.
Everyone in the Hellsing mansion, plus the familes of the knights
and more importantly, the royal family, had all bought gifts for
Integra and Seras. Wrapped packages were all piled neatly in the
center of all the guests. If there had been a decorated tree one
would have thought they were celebrating Christmas.
Zoey and Megan sorted out the
gifts while Walter handed them out. Several gifts had been opened
already. Both Integra and Seras had recieved several sleepers,
booties and knit caps. The two expectant mothers continued
opening their gifts. Both recieved rattles and teething toys.
Megan took two presents and handed them to Integra and Seras.
"These are to help your
little ones sleep peacefully." She said kindly.
Seras opened her gift first.
Inside the box was a beautifully crafted mobile with a moon and
irridescent stars. "Oh it's gorgeous." Seras commented.
"It is quite lovely
Megan. Thank you." Integra replied looking over her mobile
as well.
"You're both quite
welcome." Megan said softly.
The ladies continued to open
their gifts amasking a menagerie of stuffed animals, assorted
baby clothes, and other items for the needs and wants of the
children yet to be born. It wasn't long until all the gifts had
been unwrapped. Everything was sorted so that Integra and Seras
didn't get their things mixed up. Seeing that everyone was
starting to wind down for the evening, Walter had house staff
come and gather up all the items. The gifts for Integra and
Kenneth were taken to their room, while Walter had Seras and
Alucard's possessions taken to the sublevels.
#########################################
Alucard escorted Seras back to
her chamber. When the two vampires materialized in her room, they
found a wrapped package propped up against Seras's coffin bed.
Seras looked up at Alucard with a secretive smile. "Zoey
must have finished it."
"Finished what I wonder?
Could this be the little secret you two have insisted upon
keeping from me?" The elder vampire asked with an
inquisitive glance.
"You'll find out."
Seras replied still keeping her secretive smile.
Alucard carefully picked up
the large rectangular package and placed it on the bed. He
cautiously tore at the paper to reveal the treasure hidden within
it. When he was done ripping the paper, he gazed quite
apreciatively upon what he saw. It was a framed collage of all
the pictures Zoey had drawn of Seras. There were five pictures in
all. Understandably it needed such a large frame. One picture was
of Seras laying on Zoey's bed on her stomach wearing a man's
dress shirt. She had a carefree yet girlishly innocent expression
on her face. Her legs were raised and knees bent with her ankles
crossed. She rested her chin on folded hands. It's title read,
'The Innocent.'
The second picture was of her
standing against the wall wearing a rather revealing yet very
tastefully sexy and slinky, red satin gown. It had a plunging
neckline revealing just a hint of her lovely breasts. She stood
with one leg straight and one leg bent letting the slit of the
gown open to reveal one thigh and teasingly giving just a hint of
what that thigh led up to. She wore black silk thigh high
stockings. Her stance revealed just a hint of the deep burgandy
garter around her upper thigh. Around her neck was a strand of
pearls, part of which she held ever so delicately in her mouth.
Her smile was teasing and seductive revealing her fangs. She wore
high heels to finish the look. This piece was titled 'The
Temptress.'
The third picture was of Seras
in her uniform with her Harconnen Cannon. She held it
horizontally as if aiming it at some unseen foe. Her face was
stern, almost angry looking. Her eyes were narrowed and her mouth
made her look like she was growling. She was ready to take down
whatever enemy challenged her. Even though it wasn't meant to be
particularly alluring, Alucard still found it seductive
nonetheless. It was appropriately called 'The Solider.'
The next one he really liked.
Seras was again in her uniform, but this time she was kneeling on
the ground. The background was of an outdoor setting. The sky was
dark with the moon shining over her. Blood dripped from her
mouth. The expression on her face was dark, predatory. The stance
was almost wolfen in its appearence. A bit of blood covered the
spot where she knelt. She looked foward. Her eyes glowing red and
her fangs were stained with blood. Of course he surmised she'd
just used one of her blood rations for the effect. A rather
clever use for it he thought. Her expression, while it would have
been unnerving or even frightening to most, was alluring to
Alucard. Her face was so dark and sinister looking. Yet it was
also wild and primeval. The title he saw suited the piece
perfectly...'The Huntress.'
The last one was of Seras in
the beautiful gown she'd worn to Integra's engagement ball. She
wore around her neck a pearl choker with a sparkling ruby pendent
in the center. The background appeared to be that of one of the
studies. She stood at an angle looking out one of the large
ornate windows. Her eyes gazed longingly at the clear night sky
watching the stars sparkle. She smiled softly and rested one hand
against the glass pane of the window. Her other arm rested
gracefully against the gown. It was titled 'The Noblewoman.'
Seras waited breathlessly for
Alucard's reaction. He touched his hand to the glass covered
portraits. "Magnificent." Was his responce.
Seras let out a tiny sigh of
relief. Alucard chuckled with fond amusement. "Did you both
think I wouldn't like it?" He asked.
"Well, she was nervous
about what you'd think." Seras answered.
"She's captured you
perfectly in every piece. She should do commissions with talent
like this. It could make her a rich woman." Alucard said.
"She doesn't do it for
the money. This is what she loves. It's her gift." Seras
replied.
"And a truly wonderful
gift it is." Alucard said.
Just as Seras was about to
speak again, she felt a sharp kick to one of her kidneys. She
grimaced rubbing her swollen stomach. Alucard moved the picture
before gathering Seras carefully into his arms and laying her
down upon her bed. He lay his hand gently upon her belly and took
her hand in the other.
"She's quite energetic
this evening." He said softly.
"Yes, I've noticed.
Mmmph, I think she wants to be a kickboxer. She's doing a pretty
good job using my insides for sparing partners." Seras said
with a grunt.
"Try to relax Seras. Just
put your hand over mine and close your eyes. We will calm her
together." Alucard instructed.
Seras closed her eyes as he'd
asked. Alucard closed his eyes concentrating intently upon the
restless child. "Calm down little one. It is not yet
time for you to come to us. You've still some growing to do. Soon
you will be with us. Be still now so your mother can rest."
After a moment, Seras let out
a relieved sigh and relaxed. "She's calm now." She
said.
"Two more months and she
will be with us." Alucard replied.
"I think she may be
hungry. For that matter so am I."
"Perhaps that's why she
is so restless. I'll get you a few rations. I'll be back in a few
moments."
#########################################
Walter was cleaning up from
the babyshower when Alucard appeared in front of him. "Is
there something I can get you Alucard?" He asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact
there is. Do you still have that relic from world war two? I
think you know the one I'm talking about. The one you taught me
to use." Alucard hinted.
"Oh, that relic. Well,
yes I still have it. Are you thinking about using it again?"
Walter asked.
"Yes. I think I'm going
to find it useful once more." Alucard answered.
"I'll get it for you
then. I suppose Miss Victoria needs something extra to feed
on." Walter replied.
"Yes. The baby's appetite
is rather demanding this evening. If nothing else, perhaps
feeding her will quiet her down so her mother can have some sense
of comfort. She's been quite restless this evening." Alucard
said.
"There are only two
months left. Sir Integra's child has been very energetic as well.
I believe Miss Le Fay has been teaching her relaxation methods to
help ease the discomfort." Walter replied.
"Yes. She's been doing
the same with Seras." Alucard said.
"Wait here. I'll be back
in a few moments with what you asked for." Walter replied
and went in search of the requested items.
Within moments he returned
handing a few blood packs and the requested relic to the vampire.
"Thank you old friend. It will be nice to put this to good
use again." Alucard said and vanished.
#########################################
Seras was still in bed when
Alucard returned to her. He sat at her side handing her one of
the ration packs. She tore it open and started drinking down the
scarlet fluid. She let out a satisfied moan feeling both her
child's and her own appetite saited. "She's finally calmed
down. I guess she was just very hungry." Seras said.
"Good. Do you feel better
now?" Alucard asked.
"Yes. I need a little
help getting changed into my nightgown." Seras answered.
"Of course." Alucard
replied walking over to Seras's wardrobe and removing her
favorite maternity gown. He helped her off the bed so she could
undress. After helping her out of her dress he slipped the gown
over her and helped her back into bed.
"I feel so tired."
Seras sighed. "I need to rest, but this isn't the natural
time for me to sleep."
"I think I can do
something that might help you rest." Alucard said.
"Really, and what might
that be?" Seras asked.
"I want you to lie back,
close your eyes, and listen." Alucard answered.
"All right."
Seras got herself as
comfortable in bed as was possible and closed her eyes. For a
moment there was silence. Then she heard what sounded like the
soft strains of a violin being played. Seras listened intently.
She knew right away this wasn't a cd or stereo. It was Alucard. A
content smile appeared on her face as the music lulled her into
peaceful rest. She placed her hand upon her belly rubbing it
gently feeling the child within her now content to stay still for
awhile.
Alucard stood by her bedside
playing the old violin Walter gave him. He drew the bow slowly
across the strings while bending them firmly but carefullly with
his other hand. It was no particular song that he played. Just
whatever notes entered his mind and translated through the
instrument. The tones were like that of a woman singing softly.
Even though she was falling into a peaceful sleep, she kept her
ears focused upon the music for as long as she could. She'd never
heard anything so beautiful until now.
For almost an hour he played
until he saw her hand slide from her belly to her side. He
stopped playing and set the violin down on the bed next to Seras
for a moment. He leaned over placing a gentle kiss upon her
forehead. Then he placed his head against her swollen belly
kissing it as well. Then he carefully drew the cover up over her.
"Sleep well my precious
ones." He whispered softly. He picked up the portrait
collage and the violin and vanished from her room.
