Me: Alrighty, to start this off I must forwarn you all that I may not be able to update until next monday, but that all depends on what happens. So please try to not get to angry with my lack of updating.

Ty: They already are.

Me: Meh... But anywho, as promised, here you go, enjoy!

--------------------------

"Holy Sh-" Seras froze as when she and Alucard having appeared within the catacombs saw the scene before them. a very bewildered Integra and Walter as Donovan kneeling on both knees tenderly held his fallen love within his strong arms as a worried shine was within his golden red eyes. Mini Anderson standing weakly beside Donovan as his saucer sized hazel eyes watched the scene with child worries. Kunisaku having blocked the full sight, fell back with a deep sigh making Seras's face go just as pale as and shocked the other former Hellsing employees.

Zuranna lathered in sweat was taking labored breaths as she was... bulging like a balloon in the lower gut! "Z... Zuranna!" tearing from Alucard's side, Seras falling beside Donovan, looked at her friend with worried eyes as Zuranna was covered in sweat and eyes tightly shut. "Donovan... what's going on!" Seras cried as she tore her gaze onto his own eyes. He smiling softly, glanced gently to Seras. "Do not fret Seras... the five hundreds years of holding such a seed apparently caught up to her... she'll be fine, but... so be it tonight or within the following day, our child will be born." He spoke in a soft low tone so to not bother his queen who gave a few groans of pain and her body shuddering from small contractions.

"Hold it, how did you not know this?" spoke Integra with a shaky voice as Walter put his comforting hands onto the woman's stiff shoulders making them lax under his hold. Donovan sighing, reached forth gently brushing the back of his hand onto Zuranna's face gaining a small whimper passed her lips. "This is my first, I have been around for a long time, but I never had to deal with such a thing before... I'm going to be a dad..." Donovan whispered with the love and admiration shining off his very form towards his love. Seras's true worries mellowed to a small concern as she watched Zuranna. "Your..." with a small laugh, she looked at Donovan with happy red eyes. "I hope the best for you both..." She spoke as Donovan turning his face to Seras, gave her a smile that any friend, new father, and joyous husband could ever wear. "Thank you... Seras... that means a lot." His low voice murmured softly.

Seras smiled back to him as in the back of her mind she felt a faint hint of humanity left... this man was the undead king in America and no doubt in his undead lifetime killed thousands if not millions. But now; Seras looked happily to her friend who was clearly uncomfortable. She being one of the undead, truly a part of the undead, no longer did she care, no longer did it bother her... she's killed herself, not as much, not even close, but it was the way she was now, she was a vampire. No, she wasn't just some vampire. Seras looking over her shoulder up at Alucard who stared down at her with the oh so familiar smirk. Seras watching him, gave a small timid wink with her right eye gaining a raised eyebrow from the vampire in red. No, she wasn't just some vampire... she was his queen as he was her king. As if seeing exactly what she thought, Alucard's smirk grew as his red eyes glistened. Not like a predator watching his chosen victim, but a king watching his queen with a dark sadistic pride.

Seras feeling a small tug on her coat, the vampire looked over meeting hazel eyes to that of a small five year old blond boy bounded up in nothing but a white overgrown shirt. "uh... hello..." she weakly spoke as she was wondering greatly why a small human child was here. Blinking, her eyes went wide as Seras's eyes saw the scar running on the little boys chin. "Ander- holy... someone please explain what Anderson is doing here!" her words rushed out as she weakly looked from the child to Donovan who had clearly winced gaining her gaze. With a dry chuckle, the vampire looked at her with amused and flinching eyes. "uh sorry... it's my fault... he was going to attack Zuranna... and well, I turned back his age... and well, I just couldn't leave a small child, be it a slayer, out on the cold streets near naked... odd to say but it's been a few hours and he has yet to convert back." Chuckled the American undead king.

Seras weakly watching Anderson, looked back to Donovan. "oookkk... why won't he go back?" she asked as the man merely shrugged and looked back to his queen as she gave a small whimper. "it all depends on his wish to go back, possibly something inside that slayer's heart makes him want to start over, and or he just can't convert back as easily or as soon as others... but for now... Integra, Walter, can you get a hold of some blankets or something... Zuranna should be delivering soon..." Spoke Donovan as he going back to being fully distracted began to croon over his pain crying queen.

No more then a few hours passed when Zuranna's contractions worsened. Clearing the rest of the wolves out, Kunisaku, Ty and Sorah were the only remaining wolves left to aid as with Integra, Walter, Anderson still as a small child, and Alucard stood within the shadows. Donovan being like any first father was pacing around like a frantic human then the undead king of America as Kunisaku followed the vampires steps trying to calm down the frantic man. Both Seras and Sorah were on their knees by Zuranna as a thick large blue blanket was draped over the undead queen's bent bare legs covering her bare lower half. With screams of pain engulfing the entire catacombs, Zuranna's eyes were tightly shut with sweat dripping down her body as she writhed in pain. The contractions making her shudder violently as blood was pooling out from underneath the blanket lathering both ground and blanket.

Seras was pale with wide eyes as she watched the scene unfold. Her body shook ever so slight as her body was near soaked in the maternal blood. Ty with fearful eyes for his queen as his brown ears hung limply on either side of his head, held Zuranna's violently trembling shoulders. Both wolf and vampire were unable to truly know what to do in such a situation. Sorah on the other hand, with her hands held forth bore narrowed eyes and bent back blond yellow ears as she coaxed the newborn and mother with soft crooning words. As Zuranna screamed her finally pain filled wail, Sorah's arms lurched as the sound of a young infants scream took over the wails Zuranna no longer dished out from her trembling lips. Yet... Seras blinking felt it as did they all right when the infant's wails were unleashed from small but very mighty lungs. True joy, pride, the wanting to fully welcome this new undead life into the world. It was the exact opposite from the feelings of losing a true undead to gaining a true undead, be it infant.

Sorah withdrawing her blood lathered hands held the small bundle of screaming life that wriggled within her grasp. Soaked in blood and with a belly button instead of umbilical cord, the tiny infant screamed as its eyes were held shut. Zuranna laid there limp and recovering slowly as Donovan was the first to draw over. Falling to his knees by both his wife and newborn, Donovan grasping Zuranna's shaky weak hand, smiled tenderly to her with eyes shining with pride before turning his gaze to the small infant as its cries were lessening already. Sorah giving a small sigh, smiled weakly as she taking Ty's offered shirt, bounded up the infant and presented the child to Donovan and Zuranna with a look of pride in her golden eyes. "Congratulations Lord Donovan, Lady Zuranna... it's a girl." The wolf whispered softly as Donovan taking the child into his arms bore suddenly red brimmed eyes as he giving a watery laugh tenderly handed the infant girl to Zuranna who already crying blood tears smiled as her weak arms snaked around her child.

Sorah sighing deeply, fell back hard onto the blood lathered ground by Ty allowing the wolf to encase her shoulders with his hands. Seras with wide eyes and the deep swelling of joy and pride for her friends within her chest, the vampire watched them as both royals began to weep. At that moment they were not vampires, they were not royalty from across the oceans, but at that given moment. They were new parents.

Watching his love cuddle with their daughter, Donovan sighing deeply gained back his dark composure. Rising slowly to his feet, his joyous eyes grew hard as he turning his side to the Hellsing employees and Dracula, the man rested his golden red eyes onto Alucard's. "Dracula, our differences may be great, but with my daughter now in this world of light, I wish it to be plunged in darkness once more... let us once more rise up the two castles and reign darkness onto humans, let us destroy the Vatican and see to it humans are returned to their proper place on the food chain." Donovan spoke in a low dark tone. Alucard's eyes danced wickedly as a cruel cold smirk slithered onto his lips. "Rise the castles; that will bring the birth of slayers once more." Sneered the vampire king as Seras uneasily rising to her weak feet made her way timidly for Alucard.

Donovan chuckled bitterly "let them be born, I will kill them all, I will do whatever it takes to make sure my daughter will grow and rule her own lands... So dear Dracula, let us rise the castles up and bring forth all royals of darkness, let this world understand once more the true meaning of fear." Donovan spoke in a dark tone that rumbled through his very body.

Alucard blinking, drew his gaze down to the shy and nervous Seras who had drawn closer to him. With a loud cold laugh, he reaching forth gently, snaked his arm around Seras's shoulders feeling her uneasiness melt away right when he made contact and brought her to his left side. Watching her with both red eyes watching each other, his wickedly dancing and hers very curious as to what was going on, Alucard smiled even more as he looked to Donovan once more. "Fine then, we will rise the castles, Integra, do you still have that old leather bound book from your office?" hearing his dark voice, Integra blinking looked meekly up at Alucard but her stare was clear making a cold chuckle reverberate from his chest. "It's in one of their suitcases." Sneered Alucard as he feeling her uneasy stare, looked down at Seras who blinking gave a weak laugh. "Uh... castles?" she asked. As Donovan headed for the suitcases near forgotten in the darkest corners, Alucard smirked at his own queen.

"there are four castles for the royals that rule the night, each is hidden in a certain dimension, that book will open the gateways and unleash the four strongholds of darkness." Donovan spoke softly as he headed gently over with leather book in his right hand and left flipping through the tattered water stained pages, his golden red eyes intent. "wha... how... I just..." Seras was beyond confused making her king laugh outright with wicked intent in his rumbling voice as his hand on her shoulder tightened ever so slight. "two castles belong to us, or rather I prefer to call it my domain... each one is different and fitting to the ruler of that stronghold, and I must say, I have missed the fulfilling use of my servants." Alucard jeered as his red eyes snapped over to Donovan who having come to stop by the gathered group, was still deeply examining the book.

With a small very shaky laugh, Seras looked down at Zuranna as she with her eyes shut in a loving embrace held her daughter who was cooing gently in her mothers arms. "Your... 'servants' Alucard... scared even us undead... and I've decided..." Zuranna with a small groan pulled apart her eyes part way and looked down with a mothers love in her red eyes to her daughter who weakly blinked her ruby red eyes. "I've decided a name for her..." Zuranna whispered making the darkness melt from Donovan as he rising tall headed to her side with the grace of a very protective as well as loving father and husband.
