A/N: Du du duuum...

It's time for him to know what he is...

Enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing. I own Nicholas and the plot to this fic, so sue someone else.

"Are all of those questions rhetorical?"

Seras glared at her son and shook her fist. She kept opening and closing her mouth but she obviously couldn't put her anger in words. Then she foolishly turned to Alucard and nudged him harshly. "Do something!" Seras hissed at him. Alucard looked at her blankly then at the young teen and raised his brow.

"How much of the lab did you blow up this time, Nicholai?" He asked with a chuckle. Nick grinned proudly. "Well this time More then a third. It was really fun--" He stopped bragging when he caught Seras glaring at him with her fangs bared and her hair standing on end.

Nick gulped and cringed. "Mother looks scary, Uncle Walter..." He said with the most quietest whisper to Walter. The retainer has seen many evils and he has been present when Alucard gets his punishments for annoying Integra.

He always thought that no one could match with Integra's anger. One look at Seras proved him wrong. Seras shifted her glare to Walter and the retainer felt an icy shiver run up and down his spine.

"You let him blow up our weapons lab? You were with him and didn't even stop him?" She snarled. Walter gulped, it was the first time in his life that he had felt so scared in his life, and he has met a lot of scary people.

"W-well, Miss Victoria..."

"You didn't try to stop him?"

"Miss V-Victoria, you're making an unnecessary fuss...He isn't injured, nor am I..."

Integra, Alucard and Nicholas watched from the side as Seras slowly advanced towards Walter and the poor fellow was shaking his head, holding his hands up in front of him in defense. It was a very strange sight indeed for those who knew Walter well. that would be Alucard and Integra, since they're the oldest here.

"Amazing...I've never seen Walter so nervous..." Integra said in rare awe. Alucard nodded, a large, wide grin stretched out on his face. "I've never seen Police Girl get pissed. and at Walter of all people..." He continued to watch the slow advance and Walter trying to wriggle his way out of the mess.

Suddenly Integra saw Alucard's shoulders shake uncontrollably. The Hellsing Leader looked up at her tall servant and saw him laughing.

"What's so funny, servant?"

"It's entertaining and annoying at the same time. I'm usually the one who gets to piss her off."

Nick stared at his father with large eyes. He couldn't believe what his father was saying just now! "Father..."

"Yes, Nicholai?"

"Are you jealous of Uncle Walter?!"

Alucard snorted and continued to watch the discussion. He never thought he would get jealous of Walter for pissing off Police Girl like that. Then again, it's not like it isn't possible. "Maybe. It's for me to know, right?"

Integra began to massage her temples. Seras yelling at Walter, the lab getting blown up AGAIN and now Alucard is jealous of Walter. Honestly, when will it all end?

"Alucard, shouldn't you stop her?"

"Why?"

"Because she's going to beat up Walter."

"All the better for me. I was hoping for a little fun."

"Alucard..." Integra growled. "I need Walter alive and well. Call her off!"

"Relax, Master. She won't harm him. He is after all, the Shinigami."

"NOW Alucard...!!"

The tall vampire pouted. It's not like they were really going to fight. Nothing interesting ever happens at Hellsing anyway and this was starting to get fun and he was finally enjoying himself. Oh well...

"As you wish, Master..." Alucard snickered and moved in on Seras. Seras was in the middle of her very long rant when she felt Alucard grab her arm and slid his hand around her waist. She gasped. What the Hell is he doing now?!

"Enough Police Girl, I think Walter has learned his lesson." He chuckled deeply onto her ear and felt her anger subside. Walter let out a relieved breath.

Integra rolled her eyes and glared at Seras before going back to her desk. "I hope that this won't happen again. Seras, you are a little too over-protective of Nicholas. And you, Alucard..."

"Yes, my Master?"

"Use his real name! You can't keep naming everyone as you wish. Everyone has a unique name and should be used as such!

Alucard laughed. "So I can't call you Integra the Innocent, the virgin Queen and cute little blood-thirsty fluffy bunny?"

While he counted off those names, Integra's eye started to twitch, her hand began to crush the cigar it held and everyone else present in the room could see her face grow redder and hear the grinding of her clenched white teeth very clearly.

"No, you may not, cannot and WILL not call me those names! If i ever hear them again I swear to God, Alucard..."Integra snarled. Alucard grinned most devilishly and placed his hands on the desk and leaned closer to Integra. "Oh, swearing now are we? Tsk tsk Master."

This would've overdone it but Integra knew he was trying to find new buttons to push because the old one were 'worn out' and didn't work. She let out a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"I am completely ignoring you until this meeting is over, Alucard." She hissed and opened her cold eyes, glaring at the young teenager standing straight and proud and shocked of all that he has just seen.

"Nicholas, this meeting is being held because of you."

Nicholas was silent, a thousand questions were running through his head now. Why was this meeting held because of him? Had he done something wrong?

Ok, maybe it could be because of the lab explosion, the destroyed guns and the fact that the whole female (and some male) staff was swooning over him. None of these things were serious crimes... Ok that was a lie too.

"Why?"

Seras answered instead of Integra. She gently put her arms around him and smiled warmly at him. "Well... We thought you were old enough...to know the truth..."

"The truth?"

Integra nodded and Nick's eyes locked with hers again. He was starting to get scared. Why was everyone so serious? What about the truth? Is everything he knows...A lie?

"The truth about you. It's hard enough for all of us so try to understand and not over-react." Integra said. she could see that the young boy was starting to get frightened. His beautiful large blue eyes looked scared and betrayed. She felt very sorry for him.

Integra had grown emotionally attached to him, something she would never allow herself to do. But it couldn't be helped, he was just too damn irresistible, with those eyes and that smile. Integra shook her head, just to scare these thoughts away.

"Has the Dragon Lady gone soft?"

"Bugger off, Alucard."

She heard Alucard laugh softly at her and she glared at his tall form right beside her, staring at the picture of her ancestor, as usual.

"Well? What truth? What about me? Is there something wrong? Am I ill?" Nick questioned frantically, staring at everyone in the room. Integra looked at Seras and Alucard and gave them a nod to go ahead and tell him.

Alucard sighed and rolled his eyes. It's not like he doesn't enjoy being the bearer of bad news but he just hates the drama this had all created. He glanced at Seras. She looked a little sad despite the smile she had. He concluded that Integra had informed her about vampires more than he did so she probably knew that only some vampires could reproduce.

A smirk tugged the corner of his mouth. Well, he doesn't really know if she is one of those vampires but he could find out sooner or later. And this being Alucard, we all know he prefers the latter.

Alucard watched her hug Nicholas tightly, telling a joke or two to lighten the mood. It was plain to see that she acted like a mother because there was always that chance that she won't ever be one.

"Nicholas..."

"Yes, Father?"

"Have you ever felt a strange rush of some kind? Like a surge of energy?"

"Yes..." It was true. He could remember it clearly. It happened when he was 10. Walter was with him in the park and Nick was on the slide. The slide was high and slippery so whenever Nick slid down, he'd sort of have a tiny air jump before he met the ground.

Once he slid down so fast, he litterly flew off the slide. Of course he was still so very young, he just thought he had jumped very high. He was flying, hovering in fact until he looked down. That's when he fell.

"I see. So your powers have already begun to evolve."

"Powers?"

"Yes. You're a dhampir. Half human and half vampire."

"But you and Mom are pure-blood vampires! How could I be half and half?!"

Seras glared at Alucard. He just stood there with a sneaky grin, enjoying the boy's squirming and panic. She hugged him tightly and he hugged back. All of this was very new for him. It made him even more curious. And angry.

"There's something else too." Seras whispered into Nick's ear and his eyes were as big as dinner plates. He had only begun to suspect it...

"Alucard and I...We're not your blood parents. I found you in a run-down hotel during my mission. I took you back and persuaded Sir Integra to let me keep you. that's how we...adopted you, so to speak..."

"NO!"

Nicholas wrenched himself out of her embrace and ran out of the office. The whole room was silent. Then one by one, the occupants of the room left. Walter needed to return to his duties and Seras was late for training.

"That could've gone better." Integra sighed while shuffling lazily through papers. Alucard chuckled behind her, gazing at the portrait again. "It still would've turned out this way."

"True. But was he ready for it?"

"Dhampirs and humans are alike in some things. It was time he should know the truth but his human emotions will make it difficult for him to understand his current situation. For now, he will hate us."

"Us?"

"Seras and me. It's only natural."

"And you aren't bothered by this fact at all?"

Alucard turned around, his sinister grin and mad eyes said it all. Slowly he began to melt into the floor. Before he was completely gone he answered the question.

"I have always thought of him as a bastard child and he will always be one to me. But I cannot say this does not bother me. He reminds me too much of me." And with a chilling laugh he left the room and Integra with it and made his way back to his chambers for the day.

A/N: I'll update next time. It'll start getting even MORE interesting!

TTFN ppl!
