I don't own Hellsing, and I'm not making any money from this.

Syn was a nervous wreck. She had been having that odd, indescribable feeling all damn day, and now Integra was calling her to her office to 'talk'. The knight hadn't said anything bad, but her tone of voice made her feel like she wasn't going to like the subject matter.

Her fifth clove cigarette of the day firmly between her fingers, the redhead took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the woman's office.

"You wanted to see me, sir?"

Integra glanced up from a laptop computer she had open on her desk. "Yes. Please come in, Syn." she paused half a moment. "And you may want to sit down."

Nope, that definitely didn't sound good. Telling someone they might want to sit down was code for: I have really bad news and I want to keep you from running out of the room. She slowly and cautiously lowered herself into one of the armchairs across from her boss and waited.

The knight cleared her throat. "As I'm sure you're aware, Alucard reported that Millennium was designing some sort of weapon with 'sources' taken from Hellsing. I just received a set of files they recovered from the base where it was held. There is... no easy way to say this, so I think I'll just let you read it for yourself."

No easy way to say it? She wondered. What the hell was this thing that made it difficult to talk about? Integra turned the laptop so the screen was facing her, and Syn scooted forward in the chair to read it.

It was a bunch of medical terminology that she wasn't familiar with, but she could make out the basic meaning of it. Millennium wanted to make something... a living creature that would be just as powerful as Alucard was. Something that could be used as a living weapon. Their 'ace in the hole' just as Alucard was used at Hellsing. They had somehow managed to get blood samples from him – from one of his many battles, most likely. But creating a clone of the vampire hadn't been their goal. They wanted something new. Something different enough from him to ensure the possibility of it being more powerful than him one day. So they had combined the traits of Alucard's blood with another sample. Using the genetic material of both, and fusing their strongest traits.

So you're the one they used. Radu said.

The second blood sample had been hers. How in the hell had they gotten her blood?

"S...sir Integra...?" she began, not knowing what to say or think. "Does this... mean what I think it means?"

The knight gave her a sympathetic look. "I'm afraid so." she replied. "From what I understand of Alucard's report, these experiments were successful. During the raid on the base, they recovered an infant – about six months old, from the look of him."

Syn took that in. Six months old... it was just a baby. A boy that had half of her genetic material...

And just you wait until you see him! He's going to be beautiful and the moment you see him, you'll fall in love with him just like he was yours.

Holy shit, her mother hadn't been talking out of her head. She had been talking about this. The redhead looked up at Integra.

"What... what are you planning on doing?" she asked quietly.

The knight blew out a long stream of smoke from the cigar in her mouth and laid her hands on the table. "Syn, I'm going to be honest with you. This is probably the most... unusual situation I've ever encountered. It concerns me that this child was created to be a weapon against us. If the other knights catch wind of this before we have a plan in place, they'll most likely call for his destruction. But..." she paused and sighed. "I cannot, in good conscious, order the death of a child, no matter what the circumstances of his creation were. The fact of the matter is that this boy was made from a combination of Alucard's blood and yours. Take that as you will, but I believe that gives both of you a say in what is done."

Syn gave a small nod, and thought quietly to herself. As much as she didn't know how to take all this, she knew one thing for certain: she did not like the idea of killing him. She took a deep breath.

"Did Alucard say anything about his opinion?"

"Only that he did not wish to kill the child, and wanted to know what your thoughts on the matter were." the woman replied, then gave her an unusual look. "I believe he said something about the two of you having an agreement to discuss serious matters before decisions were made."

So he actually remembered that. Syn thought it over quietly, then cleared her throat.

"May I see him?"

The three of them were due to arrive the next day. As the time drew closer, Syn found herself pacing the floor of Integra's office, wondering what the hell she was going to do when they got there. When Alucard finally stepped in to tell them of their arrival and give the knight his report, she just listened. The more she heard, the more upset she got. The infant had been kept suspended in some sort of isolation tank. There had apparently been several failed attempts to put a freak chip in him to control him - which meant cutting him open and sewing him back together over and over again. But the vampire informed them that otherwise, he seemed healthy and had a well developed set of lungs.

The redhead heard them for herself when Seras came in trying to keep hold of a squirming bundle that didn't sound too happy.

"Oh God, master, he's crying again..." she said, looking like she had no idea what to do about it.

The elder vampire quirked a brow at her. "It's an infant, police girl. Not a mindless stuffed animal."

Syn watched wordlessly as Alucard took the boy into his arms and gently laid a finger over his face.

"Hush, little one." he cooed in a soft voice. "You're going to give your sister fits."

Sister? She wondered, then realized he was talking about Seras. Like a switch had been flipped, the child immediately quieted down. Integra arched a brow at the sight of her vampire holding a baby like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"I didn't realize you had such a way with babies, Alucard." she commented.

The No Life King looked over at her. "I had children when I was human, Integra. There are some things that one never forgets."

Syn had known about that, but didn't think about it often. Alucard wasn't exactly the type of person you thought of having children. But... the sight of him holding the boy like that made the redhead's heart crawl up into her throat. She didn't know why exactly, but it was touching. She slowly stepped forward.

"Can I hold him?"

"Of course." Alucard said smoothly, then passed the child to her. "Mind his head."

She shot him a look for insinuating she would be stupid enough to forget such a thing, then she looked down at the child in her arms. He had a head full of black hair – though there seemed to be touches of red that showed in the light. She could imagine this is what Alucard himself might have looked like when he was little. They had many of the same features. He had the vampire's high cheekbones and nose... but she was pretty sure that mouth had come from her. Then the tiny boy opened his eyes and stared up at her.

They were a vivid shade of green. He had her eyes. Her mother had been right. This baby was beautiful, and the moment she saw her own eyes looking up at her, she fell in love with him.

"Oh god..." she whispered, then looked at Alucard. He's...

Ours. The vampire finished for her. There can be no mistaking it.

Off to the side, Integra stepped forward to get a look at the boy. "He looks like you, vampire." she commented, then cleared her throat. "We need to come to some sort of conclusion about what to do with him. If he was created to be a weapon..."

"There has been no time to indoctrinate him to their beliefs." the vampire said. "He is too young for it. And all attempts to bring him under their control have failed. He can be raised and taught here, to work for our purpose, not theirs."

The knight gave him a serious, searching look over the top of her glasses. "Are you claiming responsibility for him then?"

"I am." Alucard replied without hesitation. "But he will need a mother."

Syn was so caught up in studying this wondrous, almost magical looking creature in her arms that she didn't immediately hear what he had said. When it registered in her brain, she went still and looked up.

You want me to be his mother? She asked. I don't know the first thing about raising a child...

Very few women do in the beginning. He replied. You already treat my fledgling as if she were your own. You will be a fine mother.

She blinked at him, then looked back down at the baby. Oh, he was so precious, and he was half hers. She could see herself in him...

"I'll keep him." she said finally.

Integra looked at her intently. "You're certain?"

Syn found she didn't have to think about it a second time. There was no possible way she could say no. "Yes." she replied with a nod.

The knight gave a small nod of acceptance. "Well, if you two have reached an agreement, then we'll have to make some arrangements. A name, for starters."

Alucard cleared his throat. "The project title was Mihnea. I see no reason why that name should be changed."

That got the redhead's attention. Mihnea was the name of Alucard's son when he was human. The son who had been killed by his brother.

Are you sure about that? She thought to him.

The vampire's eyes softened as he glanced down at the boy she held. He looks like him. What was taken has been regained.

Ah, she thought. She could see the reason behind it. She glanced at Integra and nodded. "I agree."

"Mihnea it is then." the woman declared. "If he's to be raised as your son and be a member of society, he'll need documentation. Her Majesty would have to approve the creation of a birth certificate."

Syn blanched and immediately became protective. "You said the knights would order his destruction if they found out."

"The Queen is not the Round Table conference." Integra replied. "She views Hellsing with high regard, and I understand she and Alucard are on good terms with each other. If she makes a pronouncement that the boy is legitimate, they will not question her."

That made the redhead feel better. The last thing she wanted to do was start a fight with the Round Table conference.

Everything was decided and plans were made for a meeting with Her Majesty to make the request. With the newly christened Mihnea having been kept away from the world, she and Alucard agreed that it would be best for the medical staff to ensure there weren't any unseen problems with him. They quickly discovered that even though the boy had only been around Alucard for a day or two – and Syn a few hours – he didn't like being away from them. If he couldn't keep one of them in his line of sight, he would start screaming, and would only be soothed by one of them touching him. It was like he had some sort of sixth sense. He already recognized them and knew he was theirs.

Of course, babies required a whole mess of things for their keeping. It seemed nothing in the Hellsing house was ever thrown out, so Walter was able to retrieve a bassinet that had been used when Integra was an infant. (God, that was a weird thought.) It would be set up in the dungeon room that Syn and Alucard shared so he would be close by. Then there was the problem of feeding him. To everyone's knowledge, there had never been a human/vampire mixture before, and no one was quite sure what he was supposed to eat. Thankfully, Alucard's knowledge proved useful. He had discovered that formula mixed with a small bit of blood was what satiated Mihnea's appetite, and Pip and the police girl had bought formula while they were in Brazil. They'd have to get more eventually, but for now they had enough to get by for a few days.

All the medical tests and examinations showed he was perfectly healthy. His growth had been accelerated through some kind of unknown chemical substance, but he would have needed consistent injections for it to work properly. Without it, there was no indication he wouldn't grow and develop at the same rate normal children did. When all the ruckus surrounding them finally quieted down, Syn took her new baby down to the dungeons. In the silence, the full weight of it all hit her. She had a son now. She was a mother. The redhead was young. She had never really thought about having children or a family of her own before. When she fell into her 'thing' with Alucard, part of her had known it would never happen. Vampires couldn't have children. It hadn't been something she was particularly worried about, but she now realized that she wouldn't have ever been able to have a child of her own unless it was with a human – and Alucard would never have allowed that. But here was a baby boy, created by Millennium, who was a blending of the two of them. Something nature could never have produced. And they had found him before he could be controlled and used by their enemies, and had brought him back.

She had a son. Syn didn't know if there was anything like fate, or if God had some sort of master plan, but she couldn't help feeling like she had been given a gift.

Okay, before I get bitched at for making a sudden left turn into cliche'-ville, I would like the point out there there are already dozens of cliche's in this story. Random girl starts working for Hellsing, random girl just magically happens to have some sort of thing that ensures she has to be with Alucard... etc, etc, ad nauseum. I've been dropping hints about this since chapter 8. I totally think cliche's can be played the right way and not become obnoxious.
