Disclaimer: I do not own DMC or its characters. I do however own Sirena, her weapons, Deacon, his weapons, Selene, and Thorne. I am not getting paid for this in any way. If I was, I wouldn't be here.

Full summary: Sequel to "Sirena". Sirena was expecting their first child when Vergil became brainwashed. She had to leave him. She turned to someone that she would never have turned to before...Dante. She gave birth to Deacon and Dante taught him the ways of a Demon-hunter. Now what will happen when Deacon is just about to turn 18 and he is on his first mission on Mallet Island? Will he uncover some truths about his past? Early chapters take place between DMC3 and DMC1. Chapter 3 and so on take place during DMC 1. The genre is not romance because romantic things only take place in a few chapters. I may change it if the situation changes. Please R&R!

Author's note: Well it's good to be back. Hey, everyone. Mrs.johntracy here, with the long-awaited sequel to Sirena. Sorry about the delay everyone, I had a lot of stuff to deal with.

Oh, if I make grammar mistakes, I am so sorry. I have typo issues and spell-check never picks them up. I want to smack it. Ok, moving on. Thank you all for waiting so patiently. And now, the story. Enjoy!

The Next Generation

It has been two years since Sirena and Vergil made their descent down into Hell. During that period of time, their love for each other grew stronger. They were married. The bond between them was unbreakable. Nothing could stop them except for maybe Mundus. Mundus was the Prince of Darkness. When Sirena and Vergil first came into Hell, they both tried to defeat him. Vergil needed to kill him to make his quest for power complete. He thought it would be easy because his father defeated him once before. He was seriously mistaken. Within two minutes of the fight Vergil was defeated. He could've done better, but he was still very weak from his last battle with Dante. Knowing that Vergil wanted this, she tried to fight Mundus too. Her father too defeated Mundus at one time, but Mundus was a better fighter than Sirena thought he was. Mundus stabbed her in the stomach before she could defeat him.

They had been defeated by the Dark Lord, but because Vergil was still itching for power, Mundus made a bargain with him. It was that in order to become more powerful, both Vergil and Sirena had to become his slaves. Sirena thought that all of this wasn't worth the power, but she looked into Vergil's eyes. She could tell that he really wanted this, so she accepted not wanting to disappoint the one she loved.

It was a cool, summer night in June. The wind was softly blowing a cool breeze. The sky was midnight blue and there was a full moon. Sirena and Vergil were standing peacefully outside, looking at the night's sky. Sirena was just staring at the stars thinking to herself. Vergil turned to look at her. There was something different about her that night. A certain glow about her. She felt his eyes watching her, so she turned to face her husband.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked. Vergil nodded and turned away. Sirena was trembling. There was something he needed to know. "Tell him now," her inner voice said. Sirena took a deep breath, and said, "Vergil, there's something I need to tell you."

Vergil turned to her, "What is it?"

Sirena started to tremble even more now, "I…we…" She felt sick; she had to tell him that night. It was the perfect moment. She took another deep breath and cleared her thoughts, "Vergil, I'm pregnant."

Vergil just stared at her. He had no expression on his face. A tear came out of Sirena's eye and she looked down at the floor. Vergil walked towards her. When he got close enough, he put his index finger under her chin, and lifted her head up. He looked deep into her eyes, and a small smile came across his face. Sirena then smiled, and pulled Vergil into a tight embrace.

"What should we name the baby if it's a girl? Helena? Selene; like my mother? Eva; after his mother? Luna? Oh wait, I hate that name…" Sirena was thinking of what to name the baby as she was brushing her dark red hair. Five months pregnant and she hadn't even picked out a name yet. She looked into her vanity mirror and saw Vergil standing right behind her in the reflection.

"You know, we have to pick out a name sooner or later," she said. Vergil didn't say anything, he just walked towards her. She just sat there on her vanity stool, with her black nightgown on. She turned to look at him.

"Do you have any ideas?" She asked. Vergil stood next to her and went down on his knees so their heads would be level. He looked into her eyes, and nodded.

"Well, what are they?" Sirena asked. He said nothing. He put his arms around her waist, and his head leaned on her stomach. He could hear a little heartbeat.

"Deacon if it's a boy. Charity if it's a girl" He said quietly.

Sirena smiled and started to stroke his hair. "Deacon or Charity it is."

The next day, Sirena and Vergil were having a fight.

"You have to leave again? How long is it going to be this time?" Sirena asked.

"Mundus said three months," Vergil answered.

"THREE MONTHS! You might become a father in three months. Doesn't Mundus know that?" Sirena asked.

"Of course he does. That why I have to leave for three months. I have to do work for both of us now since you're…in that condition," Vergil said.

"Well, can't you just tell Mundus that you need to be here with me?" She asked.

"Sirena, it was hard enough to convince him to let us get married. It's going to be even harder to convince him to let me stay with my expectant wife. Besides, if I stayed that would only keep us from our power--" Vergil started.

"--Oh power, power, power. Is that all that matters to you? Is power really more important than your own family?" Sirena interrupted. With that, Vergil's eyes turned red, and they were glowing. He lifted his hand and quickly smacked her across the face. He did it with such a force, that he made Sirena's head face sideways. She didn't turn back to face him. She let her head stay where it was. She was too shocked to move. Vergil's eyes turned back to their normal icy blue color. He stumbled backwards as that was happening. He saw a tear fall from Sirena's eye, and a big red mark on her cheek.

"Why did you do that?" She asked.

"Do what?" he said.

She turned to face him again. She frowned, "You know perfectly well "what?""

"I honestly have no idea what you are talking about." He said.

"You just smacked me across the face." She said now slightly confused.

"Oh did I? I'm sorry." He said, and he walked away. Sirena didn't understand what was going on, but she was sure it was only a one-time thing. Well, she was surely mistaken.

Right after that day, things only got worse. Vergil was easily angered by the littlest things. He would start getting angry if his coat was in the wrong place, or if anything was not in its proper spot; things like that. He also started to forget a lot of things. If he was told to do something, he would walk into the room where it needed to be done and forget what he had to do. One time, he even forgot his own name. When that happened, Sirena knew something was seriously wrong. Right after his memory started to go; his sanity was not too far behind. He abused Sirena more and more within each passing day. Sirena was eight months pregnant when he actually pulled out his sword on her. Luckily, she had her sword, Constantine with her and pushed Vergil's sword away from her. All she got was a mere scratch across her arm. When that happened she knew she couldn't stay; not only for her own life, but for the life of her un-born child. So she packed her things and fled.

Sirena was standing in front of a door to a shop. The escape from Hell was simple that day because Vergil was supposed to be leaving for another mission. Luckily, Sirena left before Vergil even got ready to go.

"Maybe I shouldn't bother him right now. What if he can't help me? What should I tell him?" Sirena hesitated before knocking on the door of the shop. When she did, a man opened the door. He greatly resembled her husband.

"Dante." She said.

"Sirena, what are you doing here? Where's my brother? Are you still with him?" Dante then saw her pregnant stomach. "Wow, I didn't think it was possible for Vergil. He made it with a babe before me. Talk about a kick in the pants."

"I didn't have anywhere else to go. I'll explain everything to you. May I come in?" She asked.

Dante nodded and let her in. She explained everything to him. Right after she told him the situation, he offered a place to stay and a job. She gladly accepted.

Hey guys, once again I'm sorry for the delay. I couldn't believe that it took me so long to finish this chapter. I wanted to post this when I had at least two chapters uploaded, but I couldn't wait any longer. So fear not my lovely readers, chapter 2 is well on its way.
