Chapter 4
Seras sat on her bed with the
most shocked expression on her face. It rivaled that of the
expression upon Alucard's visage. He could not believe what he
had just said, and Seras could not believe what she had just
heard. It was a mistake. It had to be a mistake.
"That isn't possible. I
cannot be pregnant. I'm undead for pitie's sake!"
"My senses on this have
never been wrong. But...this can't be right. We're both undead
creatures and cannot produce offspring, not sexually."
Alucard said.
"Are you sure that it's
not Integra's pregnancy you're sensing? You are bonded to her
through her blood after all, maybe it's her child you're
sensing." Seras replied trying to rationalize the situation.
"Then why would I feel it
in your body? No Seras, this isn't Integra's child I'm
sensing."
Seras looked down at her
stomach. She placed her hand against it and suddenly jerked it
away. "I..."
"You felt it too didn't
you?" Alucard asked.
"Yes." Seras
answered with a wide eyed expression.
"I don't understand.
Alucard, how could this have happened? My reproductive organs
don't function. How could I possibly have conceived?"
"I don't know. I'm still
trying to make sense of this myself. I have never doubted my
senses, but I find myself doubting them now. I'm taking you to
the infermery. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I
want you looked at by the doctor." Alucard replied helping
Seras to her feet.
##########################################
Walter was making his rounds
throughout the mansion making sure all was in order. "Walter,
I need you to fetch doctor Travalion. I've brought Seras to the
infermery. Something has happened to her."
Walter looked both puzzled and
worried. If something had happened to Seras Alucard was the one
who always took care of her. She was a vampire, and human medical
science was of no use to her. Walter hurried to find the doctor
and bring him to the infermery. He didn't know what was going on,
but for Alucard to insist Seras be looked at by a doctor meant it
had to be very serious. He picked up his normally steady stroll
to a very brisk walk. He hoped it wasn't as bad as his thoughts
led him to believe.
As soon as he found the doctor
they both hurried to the infermery. They found a visibly shaken
Seras sitting on the examining table and a very worried Alucard
standing beside her.
"I don't get it. She
looks fine to me. She can't be sick and injury would not,"
"Do not argue with me
human. Something has happened to her, and I want her
examined." Alucard demanded.
"Alucard, calm down. I'm
sure Miss Victoria is all right." Walter said trying to
reassure his old friend.
"What is wrong with
her?" Doctor Travalion asked.
"I think she is
pregnant." Alucard answered.
Walter and the doctor both
stared at Alucard and then at each other. "Alucard, that is
physically impossible." Walter stated.
"I know that Walter. But
when I placed my hand on her belly I felt something move. I felt
it in the vacinity of her womb. I want an ultra sound done on
her." Alucard insisted.
"It's best not to argue
with him doctor." Walter said.
"Very well. Seras I need
you to unbutton your shirt and lay back." The doctor
instructed.
Seras did as she was asked.
The doctor brought the ultrasound machine over to where she was.
He squirted a jelly like substance on her belly and then pressed
the probe against it. As he explored the image of a very tiny
form began to emerge on the monitor. The doctor was astounded at
what he saw. There on the screen was a very tiny image of what
appeared to be an embryo. He was even more shocked to find there
was a very faint heartbeat.
"I...I don't believe what
I'm seeing." The doctor said.
"Good lord, I...I am
pregnant." Seras gasped.
"That explains why you're
so hungry all the time. The blood you ingest has been shared by
the child." Alucard said. He couldn't believe what he was
seeing.
"This is biologically
impossible." The doctor said still in a state of shock.
"Everyone, before we all
start panicking let's think rationally here. As impossible as it
is for Miss Victoria to be pregnant, obviously she is. Now let us
all think for a moment and figure out how in the world this could
have happened." Walter insisted. Out of all of them, he was
the most calm and rational person in the room.
"Miss Victoria, I know
you are very shaken up at the moment. But as nervous as you are I
need you to think back to the very first moment you started
feeling strange." Walter said calmly.
Seras thought for a moment.
"I do remember feeling a little weird after Alucard and I
started drinking the cattle blood rations. But I just thought it
was my body adjusting to the cattle blood. All I've ever drank
before it was the human transfusion blood." She replied.
"But I myself have drank
animal blood after having human blood. I never had any feeling of
transition with it." Alucard said.
"You say you started
feeling funny when you started drinking the cattle blood. There
had to be something in that blood that somehow has regenerated
your reproductive organs. Walter, is there any more of that
cattle blood left?" The doctor asked.
"Yes. Sir Integra was
going to have it thrown out since we're going back to human
blood. I'll have a sample saved before it's disposed of."
Walter answered.
"Yes. When you have the
sample bring it to me for immediate analysis. I have a feeling
whatever is in that blood has something to do with Seras's
pregnancy." Said doctor Travalion.
"Um...what are we going
to tell Sir Integra?" Seras asked with a nervous gulp.
Alucard looked away for a
moment and sighed, "Leave Integra to me. I'll do the
explaining as best I can."
##########################################
Integra was in her office. She
was keeping herself busy to avoid thinking about her want for a
cigar or a drink of brandy. She was thumbing through papers when
Alucard appeared in front of her desk.
"I don't recall summoning
you Alucard." She said dryly.
"There is something I
must tell you master. I honestly don't believe what is about to
come out of my mouth but nevertheless I will say it. Seras
Victoria is pregnant."
Integra looked up at Alucard
with a stern expression. "Alucard, if this is your idea of a
joke I am not amused." She stated firmly. The serious
expression upon Alucard's face did not change. Integra suddenly
realized her servant was not joking.
"Seras Victoria cannot be
pregnant. You are probably sensing my own pregnancy." She
said not believing what she'd heard.
"No master. I'm afraid it
is Seras. I felt movement inside of her womb when I touched her
stomach. I even had the doctor do an ultrasound upon her and saw
proof of the child. I believe she is at least a month along, same
as you."
Alucard noticed Integra's
hands clench into fists. One was so tightly clenched the paper
within it was severely deformed by the pressure. Alucard knew an
explosion was fourth coming.
"Walter, you better
get to Integra's office. She's about to have one hell of a
fit."
On his way to Integra's
office, Walter heard Alucard's mental summons. He shook his head
with dismay knowing the explosion that was about to take place.
The both of them were in for some heavy duty screaming.
##########################################
Feeling scared and confused
Seras left the infermery and headed for the one person she knew
she could talk to, Zoey. She was in her room working on the
sketch she'd drawn not long ago. She heard a knock at her door.
"Zoey, it's Seras. Can I
come in? I need to talk to someone so bad."
Zoey hurried to her door and
opened it. She saw Seras visibly shaken and in need of some
comforting. She ushered Seras in and sat her down on her bed.
"Seras, what's
wrong?" She asked with a concerned look.
"Zoey, I'm...I'm
pregnant." Seras answered.
"Seras, how can that be?
I thought vampires couldn't have babies."
"That's what Alucard and
I both thought. The doctor thinks something may have been in the
cattle blood we both drank and somehow its regenerated my
reproductive organs. Alucard sensed the child when he touched my
belly. He even had me looked over by Doctor Travalion and the
ultra sound machine indicated the presence of the child. It even
had a very faint heartbeat." Seras explained.
Her eyes welled up with red
tears as they began to fall. She buried her face in her hands.
"I'm so scared." She sobbed.
Zoey put her arms around her
friend. "Oh Seras don't cry. I'm sure everything will be all
right." She said trying to comfort Seras.
"What if he doesn't want
the baby Zoey? What if he demands I get rid of it? What if Sir
Integra makes me get rid of it? What if something happens to me?
Will Alucard be angry with me?" She asked between sobs.
"That is enough Seras
Victoria." A voice said sternly.
Seras and Zoey both looked up
to find Alucard standing in front of them. "I'll not hear
such nonsense coming out of your mouth." He scolded.
Seras looked down with bloody
tears still rolling down her cheeks. Zoey had to admit she was a
little nervous being between the two vampires. She looked back at
Seras who was visibly shaking.
"I'm scared. This wasn't
supposed to happen." She said shakily.
"Nevertheless it has. I
will set your mind at ease right now. I most certainly will not
demand you terminate this pregnancy. As for Integra, her temper
will cool in a while. Walter and Kenneth are in there with her
and they've gotten the doctor to help her settle down. She's got
a great deal upon her shoulders and this was the last thing she
wanted to hear. But it is something she will learn to deal
with." Alucard replied calmly.
"You're not angry?"
Seras asked.
"No. I am not angry. I'm
more shocked than anything else. Remember I'm just as suprised
about this as you are." Alucard answered.
"What about Sir
Integra?" Zoey inquired.
"Let us just say in the
span of two minutes she screamed far above any creature's
tolerable hearing level and said every four letter word in the
book and then made up a few of her own." Alucard said.
"What are we going to
do?" Seras asked.
"I don't know, but I have
a feeling if the two of us get through this in one piece we'll be
spending the next eighteen years wishing we'd kept our hands to
ourselves."
##########################################
It took a while, but Kenneth,
Walter and the doctor finally got Integra calmed down. Though she
wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs anymore, she was still
quite upset.
"I cannot believe this.
How can this be happening?" She demanded.
"Sir, we're going to have
a sample of the cattle blood tested to see exactly what was in it
to have caused this to happen." The doctor answered.
"Integra, you must remain
calm. Remember a heightened stress level is not healthy for the
baby. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this."
Kenneth said.
"You're not the one
facing the prospect of having another vampiric mouth to feed.
Leave it to Alucard to let this happen. And why didn't Seras
Victoria come to me with these concerns sooner. For all I know
the two of them could have been planning this. He isn't content
enough with just a mate. He wants a bloody brood as well!"
Integra yelled feeling her temper rise again.
"Sir Integra, you must
calm down. This isn't healthy for you. I have no doubt that
Alucard and Miss Victoria had no prior knowledge of this. I
certainly don't believe they would have planned it either."
Walter replied trying to keep everyone calm.
"It's just like him to
pull a stunt like this. He's the one who probably had it tainted
in the first place if that indeed is what caused this. I could
just ram a wooden stake through his heart right now. I'd castrate
him if not for the fact he'd grow it back!"
"Enough! Now you listen
to me woman!" Kenneth shouted with manly athourity. Integra
was shocked silent.
"You hold your tongue
while I have my say. I don't believe for one moment that Alucard
planned this and I most certainly do not believe that Seras knew
any better. I don't know how in the world a female vampire can
become pregnant, but it has happened. That poor girl is pregnant
and scared right now. And she probably feels completely alone! We
are all the family she has, and it is our responcibility to be
there for her. So you just stop with your threats and calm
yourself down right now." Kenneth demanded.
Walter, Doctor Travalion and
Integra all looked on in utter amazement. A man had dared to
raise his voice to she, Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing. And more
than that, he'd dared to defend Alucard and Seras though he'd
only known them for a few months. Was he insane? Did he have any
idea of what he was doing?
He didn't speak with arrogance
or even a hint of fear. He simply spoke his mind whether Integra
wanted to hear it or not. She looked away for a moment realizing
she was being irrational. She let out a frustrated sigh. She
folded her hands on top of each other and rested her forehead
upon them.
"Why now?" She asked
herself forgetting there were three men in the room.
"It can't be helped now
Integra." Kenneth said lowering his voice back to a
reasonable level. "But Seras is going to need all our
support. Though the both of you are pregnant, you're human
Integra. You will know what to expect. Seras is not human. And
she is probably terrified right now because she does not know
what to expect, nor does Alucard for that matter."
"I...I know that."
Integra sighed. "I apologize for my outburst. I know
logically Alucard would have no need to impregnate a female. When
he was free he could make his dark children at will just by
turning them. And he is very content with the mate he has in
Seras Victoria. But it can be so hard sometimes keeping the two
of them fed. How in the world are we going to provide for both of
them and a child as well, provided the child even makes it to be
born."
"We'll find a way to work
things out. Right now we need to focus on making sure you and
Seras have healthy pregnancies and births. It's going to be a
difficult time for all of us adjusting, but we all have a duty to
support each other and you Integra." Kenneth stated.
"I guess you're right. I
just need some time alone to figure all of this out. This is
going to stretch our agreement with the red cross." Integra
said silently.
"Right now you should
just focus on being relaxed. There isn't anything here that can't
wait til morning. You should just leave this for now and go
relax. If you want I'll have one of the maids draw you a nice hot
bath. That should help ease your mood." Kenneth said.
She didn't want to leave the
paperwork, but realized Kenneth was right. Now that she had a new
life growing inside of her, she had to pay more attention to her
body and what was going on inside of it.
"Very well. Walter, I'll
leave you to tidy things up here." Integra said getting up
from her desk.
"Very good sir."
Walter replied.
"I'll have a maid get
your bath ready Integra." Kenneth added.
"All right." Integra
answered. She wanted to grab Kenneth by a part of his male
anatomy and teach him what happened to arrogant men who raised
their voices to her. But she knew it was not done out of
arrogance or to be dominating. But it still didn't stop her from
thinking about putting a good hurting on the man.
Kenneth breathed a sigh of
relief once she was out of the room. Walter nodded his head in
silent approval of Kenneth's stand against his wife's ranting.
The man was proving he could stand his ground with the likes of
Integra. Though Walter felt he'd been a little shaky in the
beginning, he was proving himself an able husband for the
Hellsing leader.
##########################################
Alucard escorted Seras back to
her chamber. This had been a most shocking evening for them and
those close to them. Though the sun would not be rising for
another two hours, Alucard felt Seras needed to rest. He had
Walter bring her another ration. After she fed Walter left her
room. Once she was done, Alucard put her into a trance to calm
her nerves and get her to rest her body. It also provided him a
little time to digest the entire situation as it presented
itself. But he did not go back to his own chamber. He knew where
Walter was headed and soon went to join him there.
Walter was in one of the
private studies having a glass of brandy. Alucard joined him
there to discuss the events of the past two days and evenings.
"Is Miss Victoria all
right?" Walter asked.
"She's resting. I wanted
her to feed first before I put her to sleep. It's been a trying
night for her and she needs to rest." Alucard answered.
"It's been a strange
night for all of us. Both Sir Integra and Miss
Victoria...pregnant. I fully expected to learn of Sir Integra
being with child. Miss Victoria on the other hand..." Walter
began handing Alucard a bottle of blood mixed with his favorite
wine.
"Believe me when I tell
you I'm as shocked as you are. I never imagined this was even
possible." Alucard interjected.
"The next eight or so
months are going to be very interesting around here. You may want
to stock up on your blood wine. While these months will be
interesting, I can say with all assurance they are also going to
be very trying for everyone. Most especially trying upon us
men." Walter said.
"No doubt I will probably
learn the hard way why there were times when my father made great
efforts to avoid my mother when she was pregnant." Alucard
replied.
"There are times when I
don't know who it's harder on, the mother or the father."
Walter said.
They looked at each other for
a moment knowing the coming months were going to be rough.
"I guess we'll find out soon enough." Alucard said. He
raised a small glass of blood wine to his lips while Walter took
a sip of brandy.
"Indeed." Walter
finished.
