A/N: Hello and welcome! Don't shoot me for those who read my other fics and yell that I'm not finished yet. This is based off an RP between myself and Silver Sailor Ganymede. I will be updating my stuff soon as soon as I get a kick in the butt. Promise. (Hold me to it). This is already partially written it just needs to be divvied up so updates depend on reviews.
Enjoy!

The skies outside were clear, bright and beautiful, as perfect as could be, and yet Lady Elizabetta Hellsing could not shake off the feeling that something had gone terribly wrong. It wasn't the baby; no, her child was fine, she could feel that much. But something was wrong, horribly wrong. As the morning passed the feeling grew ever stronger, and the more worried Elizabetta became about her husband, who had been away on business for weeks.

She had just made up her mind to take a walk in the ground in an attempt to get rid of this uneasiness when she heard a knock on the door to her rooms. "Come in," she called.

A gentleman, one of her husband's top officers came in to the room and bowed. He was formal yet familiar with her at the same time. Formal by nature but familiar due to the fact that he had been with her husband since before they met. "Hello m'lady. How are you this day? Feeling well?"

He was not eager to tell Lady Elizabetta about her husband. He thought he would ease into it if he could. That way there would be less of a coldness to it. He hated that he had to tell her this. She was pregnant with an heir, finally an heir for the family. They had not managed to successfully produce a child. There had been a few hopes but no successful pregnancies. They had never gotten this far. But now...she was pregnant and being taken care of by the best doctors. Her husband had been ecstatic. He hated to go off on business, but he had to. He constantly talked about it while they were away. And now...

"Yes, I feel well enough," Elizabetta sighed. "But whatever is the matter? I can tell there's something you need to tell me." Her eyes narrowed. "Nothing has happened to my husband, has it?"

"That's good. It's nice to hear that you are doing well. Everyone is happy about the child inside your womb." He slowly walked a little closer. "Perhaps you should sit down while we talk. I don't want you to strain yourself too much." He really hated this. It was the worst part of the job, and the worst ever being this time...

She sat down, dreading but guessing what was coming next. "He's been hurt, hasn't he? Don't lie and tell me otherwise; I can see it in your eyes that something bad has happened!"

He sat down next to her. "Lady Elizabetta I will not lie to you. Something terrible has happened. I insisted on being the one to come here to tell you. He wouldn't have it any other way." He sighed and wished it was simply that he was injured. "M'lady...I'm afraid that your husband has been killed in the line of duty."

She shook her head and stared blankly at the floor. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised. The number of times he's been injured... well, I had a feeling this would happen at some point." She sighed, "Why did he have to be born a Hellsing?"

He gave a small smile at her courage. "No, I didn't imagine you would be surprised. He was a Hellsing through and through. He was proud of it. It is a hard life, the life of a Hellsing comes with immense responsibility. But he was glad to be one. He died honorably and he wouldn't have it any other way...except later. He didn't want to do this to you. When he was dying he said to take care of you and the child. He only wanted the best for you still. He said he was sorry and he loved you." He put his hand on hers, trying to comfort her best he could.

"Sorry? He loved me with all his heart while he was here; that's more than most people could even dream of. No, it's the baby I'm sorry for." She looked up at the servant. "You may go now." The servant curtsied and left, not sure what to do but knew that they had to follow orders and went to tell the other servants. What else would they do but gossip?

He wasn't sure what to tell her but the truth now. "I feel sorry for the child as well but regardless, there is information you need to know. Your child is the sole heir to the Hellsing Organization. The only direct descendant. With this, someone will be taking over in the meantime, a distant relative, until the child turns 13. On that day, they will assume full responsibility as head of the organization. They will be trained from birth to then and quite possibly even after, in the ways of the organization. They must know always. And there are other things that will go along with it, but we take those as they come. You are still their mother and still to live here in this house, but right now, your main responsibility is to carry this child to term. You will get to be their mother.

I promise this. But you will have to understand the responsibilities and risks that will come. People may try to kill you or your child. This is not new but will intensify due to your husband's death. The child will face great risks but have great potential. You will have to keep them close and safe, but must let them live and experience the world."

She smiled slightly. "Isn't that what any mother would do for their child? You needn't ask me such questions. And apologies for dismissing the servant-girl; I simply couldn't talk freely with her there. You know how I am. Now I want you to tell me - who and what exactly was responsible for my husband's..." She couldn't bring herself to say the word 'death'.

He nodded. "Of course. A vampire was attacking everyone and we were all fighting. Your husband was slashed, the vampire bit several of the people but your husband refused to let him so she slashed through him. We all tried our best to save him and protect him but he wouldn't have it. He said there was nothing that could be done and to save ourselves, but the body was recovered."

She nodded. "Would that the whole world were so brave in the face of death. If they were then these vermin vampires wouldn't even exist."

"Amen. Your husband will have a proper funeral I assure you and the Queen herself has sent her condolences. She found out from one of the others while we were getting back from the mission."

"I see. Well, officer, I assure you that I will do everything I can to make sure that the Hellsing line continues. That's all that matters now."

"You are a brave, strong and courageous woman. I see why your husband loved you so dearly. If you need anything m'lady do not hesitate to ask. I'll leave you to rest now." He bowed to her before exiting the room.

It was only five minutes later, when she was well and truly certain that he was gone, that she allowed herself to cry.

Fin.
