Just a little drabble of sorts to celebrate my epic (sort-of) return to the interwebbing world. Hopefully, I'll be able to start working on my V for Vampire story, too, since it was a a wee bit popular when I started it. Hopefully, I'll get some good results from this, and also obtain some great advice and helpful criticism. This is mainly Alucard's thoughts as the woman he got pregnant is having their baby in the next room.

The Good News

-

It had been a long while since Alucard had witnessed a birthing. A very long time. The elder vampire had seen plenty, sure, but it had been a long while since two vampires decided to get together and, well... make babies. Chuckling under his non-existent breath, Alucard rubbed the side of his face before crossing his long arms over his chest. She was still screaming. This meant that his... what should he call her? Mate? Beloved? His Chosen?

Fuck the titles, she was just the one whom he was in a very close relationship, they had sex, and now the cause of the blonde woman's screaming was created. Thinking back, he had rather enjoyed the process of making the baby. The thinking of exactly what they were for each other would have to come later.

He laughed quietly. Suddenly, it set in. Alucard was going to be a father. What if it was an annoying boy? Or a girl? Oh, the possibilities! ...Damn, what if it was one of those babies that was non-gender, or er... both?

In the back of his mind, Alucard said he would be deeply amused by that. The hermaphrodite vampires he had come across in past years were interesting, for the lack of a better word. Every single one of them had issues, but sure knew how to take care of themselves. In fact, he was pretty sure that if it weren't for his old age and amount of experience Alucard wouldn't have found out about their existence.

A particularly loud scream distracted him from his musings, followed by encouraging words from her friends, colleagues, and others that he had failed to remember. Even that damn mercenary was coaxing the baby out, though no one could hear him for he was kept in Alucard's no-longer-fledgeling's head. Sometimes, that aggravated him. Only he was supposed to be in Seras's mind.

Perhaps being territorial over her was part of the bond between them. He sighed in defeat before disappearing into mist and floating into the birthing room. Immediately, he merged minds with her mind. The pain was simply overwhelming, and he nearly lost his concentration. Acting quickly, he took some of that pain from her, letting her breathe more. He had to grit his teeth. Having never felt the sensation of a woman giving birth (nor did he ever really want to) he was nearly stunned.

After all this time Alucard could still be surprised. This, in itself, shocked him. A grin made it's way on his ghostly face, and it widened when he felt the baby finally push free into the open air. He wasn't sure what gender it was, and wasn't sure he wanted to know right now. He was too concerned over his... fuck it, his Chosen. He made sure there was nothing wrong with her before turning his attention to the newborn.

The good news had arrived. Not only had he found what he was told he would never have, he found the newborn was a beautiful baby draculina.

So, what did you think? "Piss poor", "kinda shitty", or "good"? Or was it just... "meh, you could have done better"?

Let me know what you think, please! :3

And yes, I didn't specify who exactly Alucard's Chosen was, because I want YOU to use your imagination. It really could be either of the girls... or, hell, it could even be an OC of yours, or your friend's.
