As I lay here and type up these next few chapters please bear something in
mind, my dear readers. . . . .Mew is on some serious painkillers. Why, you
may ask? Well, I took a fall from a horse on to a jump standard, and ended
up cracking a couple ribs.
And this is why they say to wear chest protectors when jumping.
Anyway, hope you still enjoy these conclusive chapters to Disgrace!

There was no mission tonight, but I am quite pleased to have been present at the birth of precious little Devries Fairbrook van Hellsing!
Sir Integra had asked to spend the nights for the past few days in my room, to which both Master and Harker agreed, and I have been fawning over my master's master as I tried to keep her satisfied and comfortable during the last nights of her pregnancy. She had been feeling a little better after feeding upon the blood of Harker and me, though she kept refusing my Master any contact with her. She did not even want him to be anywhere near her through this whole ordeal.
Then, just after dusk tonight, Sir Integra awoke with a scream of pain, and I knew that her labor was starting. I helped her to her feet quickly, and led her toward the medical wing of the manor, while her stifled cries of pain brought Harker, Walter, Lillith, and Master to us, and grudgingly, she allowed Master to lift her in his arms and carry her to the medical wing, for walking was too difficult for her while contractions were plaguing her.
Upon arrival to the medical area, only I was allowed to stay in with the doctors and Sir Integra since Walter had much work to do with informing her relatives about her going in to labor, and setting up things like getting a birth certificate and all that other paperwork that goes with having a child these days, and he took Lillith with him because she could be very good help in such areas. Harker wanted to stay in with us, but my Master pulled him away, saying that it was not proper for a man to be in the same room as a woman giving birth, unless that man is a doctor. It is cute to see Master's antiquities coming through on matters such as this.
After six hours of listening to Sir Integra scream, curse Harker for everything, curse Alucard for turning her, curse her child for not getting out quicker, and for the doctors to give her pain medications which did not work because of the nature of our vampiric body chemistry, my master's master delivered a beautiful little girl, and thanks to our Hellsing doctors, Sir Integra was pronounced dead only ten minutes after Devries' birth due to complications with labor.
As soon as the child was toweled off and wrapped in clean towels, one of the doctors handed her to Argetni. I feel absolutely terrible for Devries, because her mother looked down in to her pale, icy eyes, and instead of being maternal and fawning over her child, Argetni curled her lip in disgust, saying that the baby looks too much like Harker, then called me over to take it from her so she could rest.
I could only oblige and take Devries from Argetni, holding back my tears as the child cried in my arms, probably hungry or tired from the experience. Quickly, I worked to quiet her down, and Devries became silent soon enough, laying nicely in my arms as she enjoyed the slight rocking.
Still holding Devries, I walked out to where Harker and my Master were waiting together. Both men were immediately behind me looking down at the rosy cheeks of the newborn, smiling and passing comments of how adorable she is to each other, and both argued in quite playful banter about who would hold her first.
Harker allowed my Master to hold the child first, and Alucard gently took Devries from my arms, then looking over at Harker, whom he must have explained what he was about to do to the newest head of our Organization, traced a fingernail along the top of Devries' head, then licked the blood from the wound, healing it as the baby cried in his arms.
I was horrified at the sight of my Master drinking the blood from an innocent child like that, and I turned away as he finished whatever ritual that he was completing.
Master loved the shape of Devries' icy eyes, and smiled again as he ran his hand through her sandy hair before passing her to her father. Alucard seemed very pleased with the child, calling it his 'little master' as he watched Harker petting his daughter's cheek with a finger.
It was Alucard and Harker that agreed on the middle name of Fairbrook for little Devries. I have no idea why they chose such a name, for I preferred giving her the middle name of Integral, since we all knew that Sir Integra would be dead after the birth.
Harker decided that we are all to have a week's holiday so he can get acquainted with his daughter, and I am glad for the time off. Perhaps I will travel to the Vatican to let Iscariot know about the birth of the next of the Hellsing line, or perhaps I will go to America just to visit that country once before I have to spend eternity bound to the Hellsing family and England.
Harker did agree to let me stay around little Devries as her supportive mother, and I will be the best mother I can possibly be to the child that I have devoted my service to protect, for Argetni will not help her own child. She has no maternal instincts, less those of the pure mammalian nature. Harker has hired a wet nurse to feed the child so that beautiful Devries will not be tainted with blood anymore, and I am quite glad that he had the sense to do this.
Perhaps Harker van Hellsing isn't as bad as I originally believed.
