*Integra's speaking here *
Waking up this morning, to move was painful and it took me a moment to remember exactly what happened last night. I remember the conversation with that bastard of a vampire and then the blood and that's it. I'm obviously not dead, but what happened? Where's my child? Alucard..God, he looks almost human like this. My child is wrapped in his trench coat, there's blood up to his arms and he's asleep. I guess that means the sun is up, I wonder what time it is. Nearly 10 am, Walter!
I can't move, oh God I'm in pain, and there's dried blood everywhere. He didn't bite me did he? No, there's no bite marks, unless he's a perverted vampire as well as a bastard. Did he help me deliver? He's not like that, I wonder if I scared him, or even if I can scare him? I don't know.
*I'm switching to a someone, not anyone in particular but a someone *
Integra stands and takes the child from the sleeping vampire, it's a little girl and she's still alive, happily sleeping in Alucard's coat. Smiling over the child, Hellsing begins to make her way out of the office, stopping when she realizes that the man she was going to find is on the couch across from her bed. She tries not to wake him, but the creaky floor-boards make her awakening known and he sits up slowly. After a few moments he studies the woman before him and the bundle in her arms.
"Is she still alive, Sir Integra?"
"Yes, why is he here, why was he holding her?"
"Calm down my lady, he meant no harm, for once. He delivered the child; or rather he was in the process when I got back with the doctor. The sun was coming up and he took the baby, wrapped her in his coat and held her there. I would have taken her, but for the way he was holding her I thought it best to leave her."
"A vampire that can deliver, Alucard is a strange one."
"Quite, she was screaming in his arms for a while, when she stopped I thought he may have killed the poor child, but she's alive."
"Why was there so much blood?"
"I'm confused by that myself Alucard never said anything about it, he just held her. What should we call her, Sir?"
"Mina Fairbrook Hellsing."
"Mina, miss? Are you sure that is wise? Alucard has a past with a Mina Harker I believe was the name."
"I know, but he delivered her and there is no way I'm naming her after him. Now am I to remain in bed, or may I resume my duties?"
"I suggest that you remain in bed by doctor's orders, bed rest for mother and daughter is best and I believe Walter can deal with the manor. Seras is here as well."
This last bit came from the Doctor that Walter had gone out for, Integra prepared to refute this order, but an uneasy feeling was growing and she agreed, going back to bed.
"Walter? Send for Seras, I'd like to speak with her."
"Yes my.."
Before he could complete his task both mother and daughter were asleep. Smiling, Walter pulled the blankets up over his mistress and laid another over the vampire in the chair beside her. He didn't move, though he wasn't expected too, after all, he wouldn't wake until this evening, just as Seras would not.
