A/N O.K I recently got hooked on a small thing called Hellsing. So, reading and looking at the series, I had an idea. Lets write a story! So here it is. By the way, in this story, Arthur is not the nice kind father in the anime, but a hard cold man who drives Integra.

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing

Chapter 1

"Push, you have to push. Please push!" the voice of the current master of Hellsing, Arthur Hellsing, was growing higher in pitch as he held his wife's, Katrina's hand. It was the thirty-sixth hour after she had gone into labour, and the baby was having difficulty getting out. Katrina Hellsing had sweat streaming down her face as she pushed, but she was getting tired, and it was so tempting just to sleep.

Around them, nurses and doctors were gathered with towels, creams and a pair of clamps. The Hellsings faithful butler, Walter, was wiping the sweat off Katrina's face as she screamed through a spine wrenching contraction. The only creature in the room that was not moving was Alucard.

The red clad vampire was sitting in the back of the room, legs and arms crossed. He had his pair of orange sunglasses on and he appeared to not be interested. But he was. He had been walking through the mansion when he heard Katrina's first scream of pain. He had phased to her side and had supported her whilst Walter had gone for help. Having supported her to her room, he had then stripped the bed, laid her down and checked that the baby was alright. He had then retired to a small chair at the back of the room, and here he had sat for the full 36 hours.

"I can see the head!" yelled a young nurse, peering between her spread legs. Alucard stood up and rapidly moved to Katrina's side. Despite himself, he liked the Indian woman. She had always shown a degree of respect to him, unlike her husband, who merely used hi as a weapon. As Alucard stroked Katrina's head, a passing thought caught his attention.

"There's an awful lot of blood. Too much."

Alucard quickly looked and he saw that she was bleeding very heavily. He shook his head and looked at Katrina. Her face was red and she was sweating profusely. He sent a thought to her head. "One more push." She nodded, and screwing up her face, pushed with all her might.

"It's coming, it's coming." screeched a nurse. Arthur rushed to the end of the bed, leaving Alucard to look after Katrina. Suddenly then was a yell, and loud screech from Katrina, and the heir of Hellsing slithered out onto the bed sheets. A nurse grabbed the baby and started rubbing it briskly. A wail came from the bundle.

"Is it a boy?" asked Arthur excitedly. The nurse looked at the bundle, then at Arthur, then at the bundle again. She shook her head.

"A wee baby girl, Sir Hellsing."

Arthur face registered shock. His mouth was open and he was gaping. He took the bundle from the nurse and looked at the baby. A wide pair of blue eyes stared at him from the bundle. He pulled open the blankets and checked. He stared at the baby a long time.

"A girl." His voice was flat and even.

Suddenly Katrina screamed again and started writhing again in Alucard's arms. The nurses kicked into action and she delivered the afterbirth, along with a large quantity of blood.

"She's loosing too much blood." "Pulse rapid." "Blood loss high."

"Everyone OUT!" roared Arthur as the nurses tried to stop the bleeding. They looked at each other and moved to the door, leaving an air of dejectedness in the nearly empty room. There was only Arthur, Katrina, the baby and Alucard left.

"My love," whispered Katrina, "let me see my child." She held out her arms and Arthur slowly deposited the child into them. Katrina cuddled the little girl and stared into her eyes. The baby stared back, a bemused look on her face.

"What shall we call her?" asked Arthur, coming closer to the bed. Katrina took a deep breath and let it out slowly. They had assumed the baby would be a boy, they had never prepared for a girl. Katrina shifted position and looked up at Arthur.

"Integra. Integra Wingates Hellsing." She smiled, but was becoming weaker. She lay down suddenly, still clutching the baby.

"Katrina? What's wrong?" Arthur asked. He moved closer to his wife, kneeling by the bed.

"I'm dying my love."

"No! I can't allow this to happen. Please… don't die."

"Please promise me… this." Katrina's voice was barley audible now, she was very weak now. "Protect our child. Treat her well. And…" a sucking gasp punctured the sentence, and Arthur gulped. "Trust… Alucard." And with that, Katrina Hellsing died.

Arthur looked at the face of his wife, so peaceful even in death. He put his head down on the sheet and gave a great keening wail. He gathered his wife's to him and sobbed into her hair, regardless of the baby that had started to cry as well. Alucard stepped forward and gently extracted the baby from Katrina's arms. He stood back and phased through the door to the waiting crowd.

"She is dead." That was all he said. The nurses started crying afresh and they held each other. Doctor Trevelian bowed his head, as did Walter. Alucard walked past them. He made his way to the steps leading down to the dungeon and his room, still clutching the baby. He walked through the door, lit a candle that was on the table, sat down and looked at the child that was to be his master.

Imperious blue eyes stared back at him. The baby had ceased crying and was now gulping softly. She was still covered in blood. Alucard brought the baby up to his face and, extending his tongue, stared to clean up the baby.

The baby giggled as his cold tongue cleaned off the blood that covered her. He nipped off the umbilical cord that was still attached to her, and chewed that up. Swallowing it, he continued his administrations until the child was devoid of blood, and he was pleasantly full. Deciding that the blankets were to dirty to use again, he grabbed some sheets from his coffin and wrapped the baby in them.

"There now, little master, is that to your liking?" The gurgle that came from the baby was defiantly a yes, he smiled and placed the baby in his arms, making them into a cradle.

"So, you are my new master-to-be? Little Integra Hellsing, a mere girl, destroyer of vampires. A women unlike your father, I'm betting." He lowered his face and nuzzled Integra. The baby sighed sleepily and closed her eyes. She was asleep in minutes.

Alucard looked at the clock on his wall and decided that he must get some sleep too. He climbed into the coffin and when he was comfortable, closed the lid. He tucked the child into his arms and closed his eyes, and within minutes, he too was asleep.
