Alucard's Familiar: "I have my writing spirit back!"
Seras: "Thank goodness." *Integra is locked in her room* Alucard's Familiar doesn't own Hellsing or any of its characters.
Alucard's Familiar: "Go!" ^_^
Chapter 3
Cold hands wrapped around her throat and pulled her down. She fought against them but couldn't make her body move. Her limbs were numb and cold as if the hands of death had laid themselves over them, keeping her down.
The shadow that loomed over her closed in and Integra sat up in bed. The familiar urge to vomit crept over her and she darted to her bathroom and emptied the contents of her stomach.
She splashed cold water on her face after brushing her teeth and stared into the mirror, "What's going on?" It had been happening for two months, sometimes after she had that reoccurring nightmare that she didn't understand, or it just happened around 3:00am in the morning. The nightmare was happening more often, and it was beginning to bother her. She had never had dreams like it before, and she had a unsettling feeling of familiarity to the dream.
She sighed and decided to dress and go down to her office to get started on paperwork. Donning her usual green suit, she walked down the hallway buttoning her jacket, noting it was the tiniest bit tight.
She and Seras crossed paths and Seras stopped and looked at the Hellsing leader as she walked away from her. Seras studied her for a moment before screwing up her face and running down the hallway towards to the basement yelling, "MASTER!"
Integra turned and walked backwards to watch the young vampire's flee, wondering what in the world had made her do that. She collided into someone while she was walking backwards and turned to apologize and looked into Walter's eyes, "Walter, sorry, I should've been paying attention."
"That's quite all right Sir, but may I ask why you were walking backwards in the first place?" The confused butler asked.
"Seras Victoria passed by me a moment ago and a second later she was running down the hallway like an idiot shouting for Alucard," Integra replied.
"Rather puzzling," Walter remarked as he excused himself and walked down to the basement on the path Seras probably took. Seras's outburst probably had a good reason, and he was afraid of what that reason was, so he took the last set of stairs at a run and met Seras in the basement hallway.
"Walter, I was just coming up to find you!" Seras exclaimed.
"Yes Ms. Victoria, I know, now please explain to me the reason for your outburst." Walter pressed as he and Seras walked down to her room.

Integra sat at her desk tapping her finger on the wooden surface. She couldn't concentrate. Her mind kept drifting back to her dream, battling herself whether it was real or not.
She removed her glasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose in frustration and groaned. She felt like vomiting again and she got up and walked back to her room. When she was through nearly turning her stomach inside-out she sat on her bed and contemplated whether to go find out what was wrong with her, or let it go away on its own.
"This has lasted into its second month," Integra said to herself, "Apparently it doesn't want to go away on its own." She sighed and picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Yes, I'd like to set up an appointment with Dr. Laurence please."
***
She slipped out of the house an hour later.
"I feel like I'm breaking out of my own home," Integra mumbled as she walked through the gates, nodding to a guard as she left. It was 5:00am and very few people were up. She decided to make as little noise as possible and took the bus downtown instead.
Stepping inside the doctors office was more of a chore than she wanted it to be. She had never really cared in coming before, but this time she had a chilling sense of foreboding as she stepped through the door and signed her name on the clipboard. She took a seat on one of the chairs and flinched as the cold fabric touched her skin.
"Why does everything have to be so damned cold?" Integra whispered to herself as she looked about the room for something interesting to look at. She settled on staring at a wall and dozing until they called her back.
They checked everything, even things Integra didn't want to be checked were checked. She began handing out glares every time the doctor started humming as they scratched nonsense down on a clipboard. Integra was grumpy and irritable by the time they were through and she wanted to stuff the doctor's head in the syringe dispenser.
"Well, from all of the results we got, you're fine," the doctor finally said.
"What do you mean I'm fine?" Integra asked. "I've been puking my guts up for the passed two months."
"Well that's perfectly normal," the doctor smiled at her.
"Perfectly normal on what planet?" Integra glared.
"It's perfectly normal on earth Ms. Hellsing," the doctor said. "You're pregnant."
***
Integra slipped into the manor and leaned against the closed door. A thousand questions were running through her mind, but HOW was the biggest one.
"Sir Integra," Walter's voice broke through her hazy thoughts and she looked up to see the old retainer standing by the steps to the basement. She could see Seras's head poking out over the banister watching and she was sure Alucard was watching through one of the walls.
"Where did you go?" Walter asked her.
"N-Nowhere," Integra answered.
"I know when you're lying to me Integra," Walter said.
Walter had used only her first name, he was serious. Integra looked up at him and felt her throat tighten up. He walked up to her and Integra looked up at him, surprised at the fact that he was taller than her. She had never noticed before. "Where did you go?"
"The doctors," she whispered. She had never felt so small in front of the old butler, but Walter had gone into his fatherly mode and had turned it on full blast.
Walter's expression relaxed, but just a little, "What did they say?"
"Nothing," Integra tried.
"You're lying," Walter said.
"But..." Integra mumbled like she was ten and had broken a vase.
"Just tell me," he already knew what she was going to say, he just needed to hear it from her, to make sure she accepted it.
"I don't know how...I didn't do...you don't understand," Integra stuttered, trying to find away around it. "It can't be true."
"Integra," Walter said.
"They said I was pregnant," Integra finally blurted out.
"Good girl," Walter said, "and I already knew."
"What!" Integra glared at him and he could see she was holding back tears.
"Seras found out first," Walter said and Integra looked over to the staircase and watched Seras dart behind it. "She smelled the difference in your blood and knew immediately what it was."
"How did she know?" Integra asked. "How can I get pregnant in the first place? I'm a virgin!"
Walter sighed and looked at the floor, "Come with me." He walked upstairs to the library and sat down on one of the sofas. Integra sat on a chair opposite him and Seras sat where she had both of them in her vision. Alucard appeared and leaned against the far wall.
"Do you remember the night that you came home after falling asleep on the bench in the park?" Walter asked.
"Yes," Integra felt uneasy at answering the question.
"Well, you did fall asleep on the bench, but no one brought you home," Walter explained. "The guard we sent watched you wake up and start making your way back home. When you were about halfway home the connection with the guard was lost. I'll let Alucard pick up the story from here, since he was there to witness it."
Alucard glared at the old man for making him explain the story, "You were attacked by a human and a freak. I'm not exactly sure what their motives were, but by the time I found you, you were knocked out and one was..." he hesitated for a minute, realizing that in the next moment the whole truth would be out in the open and they would finally see Integra's reaction. He cleared his throat and finished his sentence, "defiling your honor."
"What?" Integra stood from her chair and stared at the vampire. "Raped me...?"
"Yes, they both became smears on the concrete," Alucard answered. "I carried you home and Walter and Seras cleaned you up as best they could. I did enough to make sure your body would repair itself by morning, but apparently it could not destroy the man's seeds."
One question was answered, but now a new one rose, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Forgive us, we didn't know how you would react," Walter spoke up, "We thought if we didn't tell you, you would never know, and life would go on normally. We were hoping the possibility of you getting pregnant was slim. Apparently we guessed wrong."
Integra walked over to the window and opened the doors to the balcony. She stood there and watched as the sun started to peek out from the horizon.
"Will you keep it?" Walter asked.
Integra's grip on the railing of the balcony tightened as she hung her head and felt one single tear slip down her cheek.

Alucard's Familiar: "Oh what shall she do?"
Seras: "I hate it when you do that!"
Alucard's Familiar: "What?"
Seras: "End things that way! It's evil!"
Alucard's Familiar: "Thank you." *Snickers* So, what shall she do? Will she keep it or lose the child? I want you input so I know where to go. I don't think this storyline has been done before and I don't know how you guys feel about this yet, now that I've gone this far. I really don't know what she would do in the series, which is why I'm asking. The decision is ultimately mine, but I'd like your input. ^_^ Review!
Seras: "Thank goodness." *Integra is locked in her room* Alucard's Familiar doesn't own Hellsing or any of its characters.
