Chapter 6

Integra waited in her office
for Seras. The young vampire appeared before her and waited
anxiously to hear what the Hellsing leader had to say. Integra
looked up with a serious but not stern look. She took in a deep
breath and exhaled before speaking.

"I needed to speak with
you Seras. First off, you can rest assured I did not summon you
here to scream at you. I understand that this is an uneasy time
for you. It's going to be an uneasy time for the both of us.
Given your present condition I feel it is best that you step down
from your duties as captain for the time being. It's also
advisable that you not see active combat until after you have
given birth. It is in the best interest of both you and the child
that you take it easy until after the birth." Integra
explained.

Seras looked down with a
dissapointed expression. "I understand Sir." She
sighed.

"Seras, you must
understand that this is not punishment for what happened. Like
myself, you now have a child growing inside you. It is paramount
that you focus all your energy and effort upon making sure your
pregnancy and birth go as smoothly as possible. That above all
else must be first and foremost of your priorities." Integra
replied.

"I do understand Sir.
It's just that I'm still trying to accept the fact that this
happened at all. Vampires aren't supposed to get pregnant.
Alucard tells me not to worry, but I can't help it. I don't know
what to expect." Seras said.

"Then you are in good
company then. Even though I'm human, this is my first child. I
too am going into this not knowing fully what is going on. No
matter how many lectures one attends, or how much medical
foreknowledge one attains it doesn't change the fact that when a
woman has never gone through pregnancy before it is a very uneasy
time. And more than not knowing what to expect with a first
pregnancy, there is the prospect of motherhood. I admit that I
find myself wondering will I be a fit mother to this child."

"You worry about being a
good mother Sir Integra?" Seras asked with suprise.

"Yes, I do. I find myself
wondering if I'm really cut out for this job. Although there are
times when Alucard acts like a child, and I've handled him well
thus far. Perhaps raising a child won't be all that different
after all." Integra answered.

"Well, it is said
motherhood is one of the hardest jobs in all the world."
Seras replied.

"Yes. I guess I can't
disagree with that." Integra said. She looked away and then
back at Seras. "Look, I know I always come across as someone
who's cold and stern. I admit I don't allow myself to grow close
to most people. Part of the reason for that is necessity. If any
of the people who work under me saw me as emotionally vunerable,
then they would most likely not rely on me to be the tough as
nails Hellsing leader that they expect. But I admit that there
are times when I need to let the other side of myself come
out."

"Sir?"

"When I was thirteen
years old I my uncle's gun pointed at my head. He was determined
to put a bullet through it. I watched Alucard tear my uncle's men
limb from limb before he turned toward me. Staring into Alucard's
eyes after he awoke was more frightening than staring down the
barrel of my uncle's gun. But I was determined not to let my fear
get the better of me. If I did, I knew I would end up dead or
worse. It took all my strength to stand up to Alucard, but I did
just that. But just because I could do it doesn't mean it was
easy for me. A lesser person would have become Alucard's evening
meal. I did not give into my fear. That is what Alucard respected
about me. I stared death in the face and stood my ground."
Integra explained.

Seras sighed. "I guess
then we share something in common. When I was a little girl my
father and I were kidnapped by some thugs who held a grudge
against him. They were going to kill us both. I don't know the
whole story as to why the bastards wanted revenge against my
father, but they were bound and determined to get it. They forced
me into the back of my father's car and forced him to drive into
an isolated area where they felt they could do the deed without
being noticed." She began.

"They were going to kill
me first and make my father watch. I was terrified beyond all
belief when they pointed the gun at my head. But it wasn't so
much myself I was worried about. I was afraid of what they'd do
to my father after they killed me. When the gunmen pointed his
gun away from me for a second I started to kick and punch and
anything else I could think of to get them to leave us alone. My
father started scrapping with the other man who also had a gun.
He tried so hard to wrestle the gun away, but it went off in his
chest. He died instantly. I knew I was next. My life was nothing
to them. I fought for all my life was worth to survive. If
nothing else, to make sure the men who killed my father saw
justice." She continued.

"Did they recieve that
justice?" Integra asked.

"No. They ran off into
the night when they heard sirens and knew police were on their
way. I don't know who alerted the authorities, but it is part of
what saved my life. The thugs were never caught. That...is part
of why I was so determined to be in law enforcement like my
father. He died trying to save his daughter's life. He died as a
cop. That is also part of why I wouldn't back down from Alucard's
antics when he tried to drive me away. My father fought to the
last. I was not about to dishonor his memory by quitting in the
face of what seemed impossible odds." Seras answered.

"He told me he saw great
strength in you. I can understand fully now why he chose you as
his mate. It must have took a great deal of courage to face what
you faced." Integra replied.

"I was doing whatever I
had to do to survive and to honor my father's memory." Seras
said.

"And I feel that you are
indeed honoring your father's memory to the fullest. I admit I
don't exactly see Alucard being father of the year to a baby, but
I don't doubt that it will have a good mother in you Seras."
Integra added.

"Then you must feel
assured that you will be a good mother to Hellsing's next
generation." Seras interjected.

"I will do my best."
Integra said.

###################################################

The next morning Integra awoke
and got dressed for the day. She headed toward her office and
opened the door. There on her desk was a silver platter with a
domed lid. She walked over to her desk and removed the lid. There
were various fruits and cheeses plus a decanter or juice. She
took the glass provided and poured a measure of juice into it.
Then she sat down and began eating. This was one aspect of
pregnancy she could deal with. She was a picky eater but
fortunately Walter knew exactly what she liked. Of course for now
the trick was keeping the food down once she had ingested it.

Five minutes passed as Integra
was still eating her breakfast. Walter hurried into her office.
"Sir, we have a small situation outside the mansion."

Integra huffed and put down
the grape she was about to pop in her mouth. "What do you
mean small situation? What is going on?" She demanded.

"There is a man and woman
waiting outside the mansion insisting they get in to see you. I
don't know who they are or how they managed to find us but they
seem bound and determined to meet with you. They say it has
something to do with the tainted cattle blood Seras and Alucard
had." Walter answered.

"They know something
about this? Make sure they were not followed and then bring them
to the front entrance but do not let the guards take their guns
off them. I want to make sure this isn't some sort of sneak
attack on the mansion. I'm on my way." Integra said as she
walked hurriedly from her desk.

"They better have
information after interrupting my breakfast." She growled.

###################################################

"Please I assure you we
mean your employer no harm. Could you please put those guns down?
I'm a scientist for pitie's sake!" Simon pled.

"Those guns will stay
right where they are until I establish you are not a threat to
this house." Integra called as she approached Simon and
Megan.

"Miss, I can ssure
you..."

"You will adress me as
Sir Hellsing. How in the world did you find this mansion?"
Integra demanded.

"Please, Sir Hellsing, if
you will just have your men lower their guns I can explain
everything. I assure you my associate and I are no threat to you.
But I have a grave concern I must share with you." Simon
replied gulping nervously at the gun barrels still pointed at his
head.

"Men, lower your weapons,
but do not take your eyes off them. You will accompany me to my
office." Integra ordered.

Simon and Megan were escorted
to Integra's office. Once again she sat at her desk and waited
for the two unexpected visitors to be seated. Once they were
settled she trained her cold as ice stare upon them both. Her
look was deadly serious.

"Now how did you two find
this mansion? This is private property and not open to the
public." She demanded.

"Sir Hellsing was it? My
name is Simon Chesterson. I'm a scientist. Um, this is going to
be rather hard to explain..."

"You had better make it
good. I still have to decide what is to be done with the both of
you for infiltrating this house. I am charged by the queen to
protect this country and your being here draws unwanted attention
to my organization." Integra warned.

"Sir Hellsing, if you
will, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Megan Le
Fay. I met Mr. Chesterson and his partner Eric close to a year
ago. They were trying to develope a treatment that would allow
infertile couples to have children. I agreed to help them in
their venture with the understanding that what I gave to them
would be used only for the benifit of sterile couples who have
never been able to have children. I gave them the needed
materials and funds to carry on their experiments." Megan
began.

"Go on." Integra
said.

"I gave them what they
needed under the strictest of confidence. They could not share
the formula given them witn anyone else as I could not be sure
that what I gave would fall into devious hands."

"What Miss Le Fay says is
true. Eric and I, at least in the beginning I thought, would
perform experiments upon live stock, cattle mainly to see if this
formula would work. We had two control groups. All the female
cows had been given the treatement, while only a select number of
bulls had been treated while others were given placebos. To our
astonishment the heifers mated with the treated bulls concieved.
I knew we were on the verge of a break through for infertile
couples wanting to have children." Simon said.

He took a deep breath before
continuing. "Unfortunately I didn't realize just how greedy
and unethical Eric really was. He wanted to test the formula on
humans right away. I told him that further testing and
experimentation was needed. But he wasn't to listen. I found that
out when he knocked me unconcious and handed me over to a bunch
of thugs who were going to kill me."

Simon took another pause.
"I had no idea he was like this. I didn't know he would go
on and have the experimental cows sent off to a slaughter house.
I am worried about what affect the tainted meat might have on the
public." He finished.

"I can elaborate on how
Simon and I found your mansion. I can also assure you that we
have no intention of revealing your organization to the world. If
you will allow me to explain, I will answer your most pressing
questions." Megan said.

"Very well." Integra
replied dryly.

"First off, I must ask
you to keep an open mind for what I am about to tell you. I must
also ask that it not leave this house. As I had an agreement of
confidentiality with Simon and Eric, I must also ask it of you.
If people found out about me, shall we say my life will be
gravely inconvienenced." Megan began.

"I am a very open minded
person Miss Le Fay. I have to be for the kind of situations my
organization deals with." Integra replied.

"Very well. I pratice
what most people would refer to as alternative medicine and non
traditional techniques recognized by science and modern medicine.
I am what most people would refer to as a witch." Megan
explained.

"Wait, you said your last
name was...Le Fay." Integra interrupted.

"Yes. I am a distant
relative of the woman known as Morgan Le Fay. I believe you know
of whom I speak?" Megan asked.

"Yes. She was the half
sister of the legendary King Author." Integra answered.

"I heal using herbs,
medicinal plants, foods and the like. I also have certain gifts.
One of those gifts is seeing into the minds of others. It is not
a gift I like to use often unless it is needed. The thoughts of
others are their own private matters, and I don't like poking
into their affairs. I also have the ability of astral projection.
My spirit can leave my body and travel to other places and
dimensions. I also have the gift of foresite. Literally
translated, I tend to have premonitions of the future. I used my
powers to find the slaughter house where the tainted cattle had
been taken. That is what led me here to you. I also had a
premonition of a child." Megan elaborated.

"A child?" Integra
asked.

"A child that will never
grow old and never die. A child of pale skin and fierce
eyes." Megan answered.

Integra's eyes widened in
shock at the answer she recieved. She knew exactly which child
Megan spoke of, the child of Alucard and Seras. She looked toward
Walter. Simon was equally as speechless. He believed Megan to be
eccentric, but at the moment he thought she was out of her bloody
mind.

"Walter...I...want you to
prepare a room for Miss Le Fay and Mr. Chesterson. There is much
more I need to know from them." Integra said still not quite
believing what she was hearing.

"Are you sure that is
wise Sir?" Walter asked.

"Now Walter!"
Integra snapped.

"Yes Sir. Come with me
please."

"Oh and one more thing
Sir Integra." Megan said. "The child in my vision was
female."

###################################################

That evening Integra summoned
Alucard and Seras to her office. She still couldn't fully believe
what she had heard that morning. Megan Le Fay wasn't kidding when
she told Integra she needed to have an open mind. And Integra
considered herself to be very open minded about unbelievable
things. She had to be considering she employed two vampires and
used them to hunt down their own kind plus other supernatural
threats. Alucard and Seras appeared in her office. They saw the
look on her face and knew something was up.

"What did you need of us
master?" Alucard asked.

"This morning two
individuals came to the Hellsing mansion seeking me out. I have
been given information by a man and a women that will shed a
great deal of light on the situation at present. It also answers
why Doctor Travalion could not identify the mysterious anomoly in
the tainted cattle blood you both drank." Integra answered.

"Do tell." Alucard
said raising one eyebrow slightly above the other.

"Bring in Miss Le Fay and
Mr. Chesterson, Walter." Integra instructed.

"Yes Sir." Walter
said with a bow.

A few minutes passed when
Megan Le Fay and Simon Chesterson entered Integra's office. The
two guests seated themselves. Integra folded her hands neatly
upon her desk.

"Miss Le Fay and Mr.
Chesterson, I've had you brought here to explain a few things to
you that I did not divulge this morning. I remember you telling
me Miss Le Fay that I needed to have an open mind for what you
told me. I now ask the both of you to keep an open mind for what
I am about to tell you. Understand first that I do not entertain
members of the public, and I most certainly do not tell them
private buisness. But seeing as you had valuable information upon
a situation I now find myself in, I am making an exception."
Integra began.

She looked over at Simon who
seemed still a little visibly unnevered by what he'd heard from
Megan that morning. "Still find what you heard from your
associate here hard to believe Mr. Chesterson?" She asked.

"Well, yes Sir Integra. I
knew the treatment I was working with was controversial, but I
certainly never expected to learn all that I have. I can't help
but have trouble believing everything that has happened
today." Simon answered.

Integra smirked slightly at
his responce. "Then you're belief in what is real and what
isn't is about to tested further Mr. Chesterson."

"I beg your
pardon..."

Her expression grew serious
for a moment. "You both are to understand now that if you
divulge any information about my organization it will be regarded
as interfering with the mission the queen has set before me. And
to stop that mission will be regarded as the very least as
treason against the crown, church and England itself. And the
penalty for such acts are shall I say...very dire. Do I make
myself clear?"

Simon gulped nervously.
"Yes Sir Integra. You're very clear."

Megan remained calm as she
answered. "I understand Sir Hellsing."

"Good. A hundred years
ago my great, great grandfather Abraham Van Helsing hunted down
and captured a creature of great and terrible power. Tell me,
what do you know of vampires?"

"They were said to be
undead beings who fed off the blood of humans and animals. But
that's a complete myth. Vampires are nothing more than ancient
people's misunderstanding of the physical and biological process
of death. They are rooted in hysteria and misinformation."
Simon answered sounding like a college professor.

"Really?" Integra
interjected looking over to Alucard and Seras. Before Megan and
Simon's entrance they had conviently hid themselves in the
shadows. They emerged from the cloak of darkness and made
themselves known to all in the office.

"Allow me to introduce to
you my two finest field agents, Alucard and his mate Seras
Victoria." She said with a wide grin.

Simon looked over to see the
two vampires grinning at him clearly showing their crimson eyes
and gleaming white fangs. His eyes widened in both shock and
fear. The man thought he would either have a heart attack or soil
himself there in the office.

"Blood hell! What in the
world are they?" He exclaimed.

"Oh, just two myths
rooted in hysteria and misinformation." Integra answered
sarcastically.

"You mean
they're..."

"Yes Simon, Alucard and
Seras Victoria are vampires." Megan interjected calmly.

"You do not seem
disturbed by this Miss Le Fay." Integra observed.

"My ancestors come from a
time where magic and myth were real and very common place. Such
beings existing today is nothing new to me." Megan replied.

"Good. Now to the purpose
of my family's organization. Generations of the Hellsing line
starting with Abraham Van Helsing were knighted into the queen's
service. We are charged by her majesty with the duty of
protecting the crown, church and citizens of England from all the
creatures of the night who threaten them. However, my ancestors
decided to use a vampire to hunt down other vampires. The vampire
they decided to use is Alucard." Integra explained. She took
a pause before continuing her story.

"Alucard is no ordinary
vampire. He is one of the most powerful and also most dangerous
of his kind. Using their knowledge of the occult, my ancestors
bound Alucard to the Hellsing family. He serves us as our chief
vampire slayer. While the human troops are adept at fighting off
numbers of lesser vampiric beings, unfortunately their being
human is a distinct disadvantage. Humans are frail and mortal
creatures and once taken by a vampire become vampiric beings
themselves. They either are drained completely and become ghouls,
or they share the blood of the attacking vampire and become
vampires themselves."

"Therefore the greatest
weapon against a vampire is another and equally powerful vampire.
Alucard also has another distinct advantage over others of his
kind. My forefathers, again using their occult knowledge
performed experiments upon him that have made him even more
powerful now than he was before. The well known methods of
slaying a vampire being a stake through the heart, beheading,
silver and sunlight will not destroy him. They might slow him
down momentarily, but they will not put him down for good."
Integra finished.

Simon sat in his chair with
wide eyes. He was tempted to ask where was the nearest sanitarium
as he would soon be in need of their services. He simply could
not believe what he was hearing.

"Simon, rest assured that
everything Sir Hellsing has told you is the truth. There are many
things that are beyond your scientific realm." Megan said.

"I'm going mad." He
replied.

Megan took what appeared to be
a small perfume bottle from her purse. She produced a small
hankerchief and sprayed a small amount of a fragrent fluid upon
it. "Here." She said handing the cloth to Simon.

"It is a mix of lavender
and chamomille. Just inhale lightly. They will help calm your
nerves. Rest assured they're completely safe. It is a healthier
alternative to alcohol." She added.

"Inhaling this will make
him feel calm again?" Integra asked.

"Yes. It can be used as
incense, in tea, bath oils and any other number of ways. Used
responcibly they should not present any health hazard unless
perhaps if the user is allergic." Megan answered.

"Feeling better Mr.
Chesterson?" Integra inquired.

"Suprisingly, yes I am.
But I still can't believe all that I've heard." Simon
answered.

"Believe it Mr.
Chesterson. Everything that I have told you is true. Looking at
Alucard and Seras should convince you of that." Integra
replied.

"So, that is why only the
blood was taken. Your vampires needed substanance." Megan
interjected.

"Yes. And the tainted
blood had a rather shocking affect upon them, especially Seras.
She is pregnant." Integra said.

Megan stood up and walked over
to Seras. Alucard placed a rather possesive arm around her
shoulder. He gave the human a rather stern look. But his
expression did not unnerve her.

"I mean no harm to your
mate. I had a vision of life where no life exists. She will be a
most extrodinary child." Megan said.

"She? You know what the
child will be?" Seras asked with amazement.

"The vision I was given
was that of a female child." Was Megan's answer. "Even
though her body is tiny, her spirit is already growing strong.
The vision given to me was her way of speaking to me."

Megan turned to Integra.
"You must also take very good care of yourself Sir Hellsing
so that you will give birth to a healthy boy."

Integra's mouth dropped open.
She had not even told Megan of her own pregnancy.
"A...boy?"
