Disclaimer: I do not own Hellboy, Liz, Abe, etc. Mike Mignola and Guillermo Del Toro do. Those lucky sons of bitches.

To be honest I hadn't even thought of adding Kroenen to the story, but someone made a very good point, and so here he is :D Also, keep in mind, in the movie-verse, Liz never saw Kroenen O.o

As Liz began to awaken, the first thing she noticed was that she was completely naked, and only a thin blanket covered her belly and below. The second thing she noticed, was that it reeked of death in wherever it was that she was being kept. There was no underlying smells, she could not smell anything but the thick musky scent that seemed to cling to bodies after they have began to decompose. As she kept her eyes closed, not wanting to let her captors realize that she had since awoken, she let her hand slowly move along the hard marble stone beneath her.

"My dear, the time has come for you to fulfill your purpose. Awaken now, and bring upon the new world's saviors." Anything else he had began to say was something German, in which was a language she wasn't familiar with. As she opened her eyes, she was slightly startled to see a man wearing a very old styled mask looking down upon her from her left. As she turned her head to face him, she began to hear the sounds of metallic workings, as if she had been listening to a grandfather clock's face. He looked down at her, or at least she was assuming he was, seeing as she could not see his eyes from behind the mask, but could only judge by the angle of his head.

Her body felt heavy, as if she was being held down, but she saw no one's hands holding her. Merely saw the blanket, which from the look of it, couldn't hold down a fly with how flimsy it was. As she tried to sit up, or move anything beside her head, or hands, Rasputin walked toward her, resting his hand gently on her belly. It was almost instant, that as he put his hand on her stomach, the children inside began to move around restlessly, kicking against her belly, and seeming to be having a sparring match between them inside of her.

"Stop it! Don't fucking touch them!" Liz screamed, as fire enveloped her body, making Kroenen and Rasputin take a step back not fond of being burnt to a crisp by the angry woman on the slab of marble. Though Rasputin's hand had been moved away, she continued to burn her fire, though even she could tell it was draining her of strength completely.

"The birth has already been started, there is no need to fight me. I shall leave you in the hands of Kroenen, he will birth your children." And with that, Rasputin began to walk away, as the masked man from earlier, who she now surmised was Kroenen began to walk towards her. Shaking her head quickly, and trying in any way possible to move, tears began to fall slowly down from her eyes, to land on the marble beneath her. She could feel the telltale signs that these babies were ready, as a contracting ripped through her body, nearly making her scream out in pain. Instead she used that pain to make a scream in a completely different way.

"RED!"

--

It was a quick trip from New Jersey, to their destination in Germany, which happened to be a good thing for everyone on the plan. The large red demon was ready to kill anything in his path, and made sure everyone knew this fact. Abe had tried to comfort him a few times, but was only met with a glare that could make the dead fear for their non-existent lives. The truck ride seemed to be even quicker, as he refused to spend the extra time getting into the box and sealing it, only to have to wait for it to be unsealed later on.

"I'm going to rip all of his limbs off, make sure that bastard can't come back this time." He all but growled as they headed into the stone building. As soon as the truck came to a stop, Hellboy was already out of the back and running toward the stone building that had almost spelled out the end of the world last time he was there. The agents had to run at full speed just to keep up with him, and even then, lost sight of him as he ran full speed. It was then they heard it, the heart-wrenching scream of Liz.

"Red!" To the rest of the agents it was quiet, but they could all hear it, as it echoed through the stone walls of the building. Though Hellboy was lucky enough to be closer to where she was, and he could hear the scream perfectly, every agonizing note in the scream.

"Please, do not go rushing in their on your own. You must wait for us, Hellboy." Hellboy heard in his mind. Of course it had been Abe, unless one of the other agents had somehow learned telekinesis within the short amount of time between New Jersey, and here. He could see the long hallway they needed to head down in which to get into where Liz was, but he apparently had to wait. They weren't far behind him, as he could hear their footsteps now.

Her fire had began to slowly ebb away, as she felt herself getting more tired by the second. All of the elements were beginning to add up, and her body could feel every single one of them. The contractions were pulling through her roughly, and the babies were moving in accordance to that, and now were also moving feeling the stress from her own body. She took a large breath, not wanting to cause her unborn children more harm because of her inability to stay calm in the situation, but when you found yourself at the hands of a psychotic, reincarnated German, who planned to use your children to bring upon the destruction of your world, it gets a little hard to stay calm.

As she was lost in her thoughts, attempting to stay calm, she felt a cold leather covered hand touch each of her knees. As she picked up her head in an attempt to see what he was doing, he slid his hands under both of her knees, and surprisingly gently lifted her legs, and moved the blanket down in which to cover her, which made it slip a bit farther off of her large belly. Though the blanket had been flimsy, and thin, it still provided her with a beat of heat, and as it slipped from her belly, she felt a shiver run up her spine. As he began to lift the blanket away from the area between her legs, she tried in vain to close her legs, but found herself feeling more like a doll, as she could be moved by others, but her own attempts at movement were unanswered by her limbs.

She closed her eyes tightly, as another contraction wracked her body in pain, and she held her breath waiting it out. As her eyes were closed, she heard what sounding like a heavy pair of foot steps, and then quite a few more pair of light steps heading in her direction, and quickly. As she opened her eyes to look, she was greeted with the sight of a large red hand grabbing a hold of Kroenen's entire head.

"Red…" she whispered quietly, a smile on her face as she realized just who had finally made it to her rescue. She watched as a bit roughly, Hellboy grabbed two swords from Kroenen, that until now Liz had not even seen, and bent them as he gripped them in his large stone hand. As he tightly gripped the mans throat, Liz cringed as she heard the snapping sound of the man's neck beneath Hellboy's large fist, and saw the man's head roll back limply.

"Anung Un Rama, so you have returned to me." Rasputin began, as he walked slowly toward the large red demon. He stopped walking, with a calm face, as suddenly every gun, of every agent was turned toward him. "I assure you the girl has not been harmed." He said holding out his hand towards Liz. Unlucky for him, it seemed just at that moment, a rather brutal contraction hit Liz, and she screamed out loudly, tilting her head back, and gritting her teeth in pain.

This was all the encouragement Hellboy had needed, and as everyone thought he were about to make a mad dash towards Rasputin, he instead, brought his large fist up, and brought it down into the slab of rock that was so coveted by Rasputin.

"What are you doing, you fool?!" Rasputin yelled as he stalked towards the large red demon. Hellboy paid him no mind though as he continued to bring his large hand into the stone. The cracks began to split the stone, and with one final punch, the cracks in the stone became too much, and piece by piece it began to fall.

"How dare you!" Rasputin yelled, as he made a run toward Hellboy. It was no surprise that Rasputin was stopped within arm's reach of Hellboy, as he grabbed him in the stone hand, he had previously used to destroy that in which Rasputin held dear.

"Your stupid statue is broken, so this time why don't you stay dead!" And with that he tossed the man against the wall toward the side, and no one needed to check if he was still alive, the sound he made as he hit the stone wall was clue enough that he would not make it through that.

"We need to get Liz to a hospital and quickly!" Abe finally cut through the silence of the room, as he stand near the slab of marble Liz lay on, his hand resting on her large belly. His other hand rest gently on her back, as she was finally able to sit up on her own accord, and hold the thin blanket around herself to shield certain parts of her from the other agents.

Hellboy wasted no time in taking off his jacket, wrapping out around Liz, and gingerly picking her up into his arms. She instantly rested her head on his chest, and grabbed a fistful of his black shirt fabric, in an attempt to pull herself into him. He leaned down to gently to kiss her forehead, as they headed back to the truck. Four of the other agents had opted to ride in other trucks, cramming together, in order to let Liz be lay down on the back of the truck seats, and allowing Hellboy to be back there with her. Abe sat in the passengers seat in order to check on Liz and make sure there were no complications. As of yet, everything seemed to be moving along smoothly, but apparently not as smoothly as their dear Liz would have hoped. Lucky for everyone in the truck, and probably the truck itself, she was too worn out from labor pains that her fire had not reared it's hot head.

"I swear to god if we don't get to the hospital soon…" she trailed off biting her lip with another contraction, as they began coming faster, and a little more painful with each passing minute. "I am not having my babies in a god damn truck!" As Abe leaned over speaking quietly to the driver, the car began to pick up the pace, and then turned down a different road.

"I am afraid we aren't going to make it to the plane, and back to the B.P.R.D's medical wing. I have informed them of the situation, and we are going to head to the local hospital, and the medical staff will be taking a jet to the hospital in order to make it here on time." This seemed to appease the angry girl in the back seat, as she rest her head back with a heavy sigh.

Hellboy took this momentary peace to resituate himself, as to prop Liz up a bit, letting her rest against his chest, as he sat behind her head. Running his left hand gently along her hair, he felt her relax as she was given a short lived cease fire from her contractions, which was interrupted of course by yet another contraction. He felt her tense up as her contractions began again, and felt her hand moving, looking for his own. He leaned his head down a bit to kiss her temple as he intertwined his fingers with her searching hand.

"Come on, can't this hunk of junk go any faster?" Hellboy grumbled, as another contracting ran through Liz, causing her to stiffen herself against his body, and grip his hand a bit tighter.

"We are going as fast as we can, as we are nearly there. If you wish to help her, run your hand down the center of her stomach following a contraction." Abe said, watching as Red gently lay his red hand on Liz's belly, just below her breasts, awaiting the next contraction to run through her body. It didn't take long before he felt her stiffen up yet again, and she rest her hand on his, helping him follow the contraction, and also twining their fingers again, to give her a little bit of a hold on something.

"Ah, Abe, we're not gonna make it. These babies want out now!" Liz ground out through clenched teeth, as it seemed like she couldn't get a break from the contractions, gripping Hellboy's hand roughly. As Hellboy was about to say something, the truck came to a stop, and the sound of other people could be heard nearing the truck.

"Your children have excellent timing, Red, as we have arrived." Abe said calmly, as he opened the back door to the truck, smiling at them.

"Shut up Abe, and get me into that damn hospital!" Liz all but screamed, as she a little roughly hit her head back against Hellboy's chest. Wasting no time, Red gently carried her bridal style out of the truck, which was quite a bit difficult with the limited amount of space they had. Carrying her into the hospital doors was easier, if they didn't mind the strange looks they got from all of the normal hospital staff, and patients. They were lucky as the jet had arrived just in time, as a few of the doctors from the B.P.R.D were there to escort them to a room, and bring a gurney around for Liz.

"We're going to need you to stay somewhere else, as we prep her for the birth. We will let you in as soon as we inform her to start pushing." And the woman ignored the protests from both Hellboy and Liz, granted Liz's demanded were even a bit scarier than Hellboy's at the moment, but still the woman remained strong, and took Liz past the swinging double doors.

"Hope your ready for her to break your hand big guy." Said one of the agents, clapping him on the back, and nearly tripping over Hellboy's tail as he walked behind him. Giving the guy a confused, slightly annoyed look as he walked off, he looked in Abe's direction, hoping to get a little insight into what he had been talking about.

"Well Red, generally because of the pain the woman is feeling during child birth, they tend to, lash out. They may say things they do not mean, and on a few occasions, while holding the hand of the man for comfort, have squeezed just a bit too tight and broken bones. Something I do not think you need to be worried about." Abe rested a comforting webbed hand on Hellboy's shoulder, being mindful of the thrashing tail behind the large red demon.

"How long is this gonna take Blue? I just want to be back there with-" but he didn't get the chance to finish his sentence as one of the nurses came flying through the double doors, looking straight at him.

"She's ready, and I wouldn't keep her waiting if I were you."

Well another chapter done. I know the fighting was so short, but it had to be quick! I enjoy Kroenen as well, he's probably one of the coolest bad guys, but honestly… you don't fuck with Hellboy's girlfriend, and kids. If it weren't for the fact that he was.. Pretty much insane, I would have thought about turning him into kind of a good guy, but it just wouldn't have worked. D: I'm pretty sure every chapter to follow will be full of mush, and maybe a little humor here and there.
