Good evening,

I'll explain why I was gone for so long after the fic.

I hope you enjoy.

The Test

1999

"Shit," Seras hissed under her breath as that little pink plus sign taunted her. The little vampire sat at her table with her head in her hand. For the last few days she had been feeling…off. Finally she had decided to rip off the metaphorical bandaid and take a pregnancy test. Now knowing the answer she felt utterly defeated. Vampire or not, she was far too young to be a mum. Hell, she literally just became a vampire over a week ago and started working for a secret organization that eliminated other vampires. Then her mentors seduced her and now she was bleeding pregnant?! It was all happening way too fast for her. How much more could she take? "Oh no," The girl groaned as she dropped the test on the table and buried her face in both hands. "What am I going to do?"

A sudden chill appeared in the air around her, along with a heaviness. The hairs on the back of her neck rose, warning her of the threat that was coming. Fortunately for her, that 'threat' wasn't much of a threat at all. It was just her master and that demon. Her instincts normally kicked in whenever they showed up, but she didn't have to worry about them. Sensing that they were coming, Seras quickly pulled a nearby magazine on top of the pregnancy test to hide it from any wandering eyes. This wasn't a good time. Since the night of the…'accident', Alucard and Sebastian had been avoiding her. She hadn't seen nor heard from them at all. Why did they pick now to come and see her? The little vampire thought angrily.

"Police Girl," Her master's voice reached her ears before she felt his fingers wrap around the back of her neck. The girl shuddered in pleasure from how deep and velvety his voice sounded. As if…he was trying to seduce her with that simple pet name. Curiously, Seras glanced over her shoulder to find such a large grin on his face and a familiar look of lust in his eyes. All she could think about was that night when they lost themselves. The pleasure was nothing like she had ever imagined it, and she will never, ever forget the way they had made her feel. Just thinking about it was making her stomach flutter in need of their touch. Is that why they have come? Like her, they couldn't get that night out of their heads? Were they hungry for more? The Police Girl wasn't entirely sure why they were there in her room. At this point, it didn't matter. They were here and there was something serious she needed to discuss with them.

"Um…" The girl murmured before she pushed out of her chair to stand at her full height. Now having them both in her view, she saw those searing lustful looks on the predators. Her face flushed and she nervously looked away. She was starting to tremble in the knees while her stomach did somersaults of delight. "Um…" She murmured, unable to focus or remember what she had wanted to discuss with them. How were they always capable of making her thoughts go fuzzy? Fingers stroked over her face, making her shudder as her eyes flickered back up to meet with Sebastian's. Those dark red eyes of his held nothing but pride for being able to stupefy the small blonde with just a look.

"Go to bed with us?" Sebastian breathed those alluring words while his thumb brushed over her bottom lip. The blush on her cheeks darkened and her eyes widened to the size of dish plates. He leaned his face in closer towards hers. His hot breath wafted over her lips, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine. "There's so much more we have to teach you." Before his lips could meet with hers, Seras found her courage and brain once more.

"I'm pregnant!" The little vampire exclaimed before his lips could meet with hers. Hearing the words that flew out of her mouth staggered Alucard and Sebastian. The smirk dropped from the demon's face as a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

"What?" He whispered. His fingers slipped from her chin as he took a step back away from her. Then there was nothing but silence. Her mentors just stood there and stared at her as if she was a creature from a completely different world. They looked so entirely confused and were absolutely speechless. While they remained so…calm and silent, Seras' heart was racing in her chest. Her face had paled drastically and she was now trembling in what appeared to be nervousness. She repeatedly clenched and unclenched her hands as she tried to regain her bearings. "Could you please repeat yourself? Perhaps we didn't hear you correctly." The girl opened her mouth but no words came out. Her trembling got worse and such fear seeped into her eyes. "Seras?" Sebastian spoke in that soothing voice. "Relax and repeat yourself." He gently ordered her. But she was unable to relax. No, she was freaking the fuck out! Too much was happening at once and she was on the verge of a panic attack. But, the girl managed to keep calm and repeat herself.

"I-I-I'm preg-pregnant." Seras whispered. The next thing that happened terrified the girl so badly that she thought her very soul would leave her body. Her deranged master suddenly fisted her uniform and practically lifted her up right off the floor just so he could bring her face close to his. Such a fierce look burned in his eyes while he bared those large, intimidating fangs at her. The sight scared Seras so badly that she had to close her eyes to prevent from passing out.

"You must be joking!" The monster roared in her face.

"Master!" The little vampire cried out as she gripped his wrist tightly. Her feet dangled under her. She struggled a little in his grasp, but wasn't able to escape. "Master, please!"

"If this is your idea of a joke, Police Girl, it's not funny!" Alucard snarled as he violently shook her in his grasp. Fresh, hot tears ran down his Draculina's face. Her soft sobs reached his ears and even though he felt a stirring of sympathy, he couldn't find the strength to calm himself. "Tell me that you jest!" Finally, his little Draculina cracked open her tear filled eyes to give him a pleading look.

"Master, please stop! Please!" She begged him through those harsh sobs. "You're scaring me!" Coming back to his senses, Alucard gasped before he instinctively dropped the girl. The little vampire landed on the floor, an absolute crying mess. She managed to sit herself up right, but was too shaky to stand. Beyond terrified, Seras just hugged her legs to her body and cried freely. "I'm sorry!" She sobbed even though she had nothing to apologize for. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Alucard drew back away from his fledgling when those words and loud sobs actually stung him. He normally didn't care who he showed his wrath to. He didn't care who saw the monster that lies beneath that skin. But seeing how worked up his Draculina got from a small taste of what he truly was bothered him deeply. He never wanted to show her that side of him ever again.

"How could you do this to us, Seras?" The demon asked. His clenched fists trembled at his sides while he tried hard to remain in control. "How could you lie? Did you think it would make us want you more? Did you think telling us this lie would make us happy; bind us to you forever?"

"It's not a lie!" Seras cried out. The red in the demon's eyes grew darker. He clenched his fists so hard that he was unknowingly digging his nails deep into the palm of his hands.

"Where's the proof?!" Sebastian raised his voice while he glowered at her with those horrific eyes. "There has to be proof, right?! Otherwise, how do you know that you're pregnant?!" His entire body was engulfed in a black aura that morphed into different shapes and creatures. The air around them was becoming heavier as everything grew darker and colder. Her instincts were going ballistic now. Yelling at her to run and hide from these fierce monsters. But the girl was frozen. She could barely move. "Show us the proof, Seras!" Crying harder, the little vampire raised a shaking hand and pointed towards her table. Her mentors' eyes shot towards the table, waiting to see the evidence that proved the pregnancy, but they saw nothing. Feeling as if he was being played a fool, the demon gritted his teeth as his temper got out of hand. "Where?!" He shouted before he gripped one of her chairs and flung it backwards. The chair smashed into her coffin. The wood shattered and the lid of her coffin got all scratched up. The terror only rised in Seras from the demon's fierceness.

"Michaelis," Alucard whispered when seeing how upset his fledgling was. She was so scared and she couldn't stop crying. He hated what they were doing to her. He hated seeing her that way, but the demon was too livid to care at the moment. "Keep a levelhead." He demanded, earning a scowl from the Prince of Hell.

"She's playing us and you want me to keep calm?!" The demon snapped. "I refuse to fall victim to this little lie of hers."

"I think you know better than anyone when a person is lying or not." The elder vampire reminded him. "Tell me, is she truly lying?" The look only darkened on Sebastian's face before he turned to look back at the sniveling Draculina.

"Where is the proof, Victoria?!" The demon asked once more. Keeping her face buried in the crease of her legs, the girl once more pointed towards her table. Before he could question her again about where she was pointing, she was speaking.

"Un-un-under th-the mag-a-zine." The fledgling stuttered through her sobs. Spotting the magazine on her table, the demon bolted for the little piece of evidence. He threw the magazine to the side and paused when seeing the small pregnancy test with the tiny pink plus. Sebastian gritted his teeth hard and threw a dark look at the little vampire.

"This could be a false positive! It could mean nothing!" The Prince of Hell snarled at her. Finally, the girl raised her head to look up at them.

"I th-thought the sa-same thing." She whispered. Her eyes then flickered to the side before she pointed at a rubbish bin across the room. "I-I t-t-took two tests." Flying across the room, the demon tore through the small rubbish bin. Just beneath some of the discarded paper and tissue there was a second pregnancy test. Without even lifting it, he could see what it said. That awful, tiny pink plus sign taunted him. He slowly removed the positive test from the bin to inspect it closer. How could this be? Centuries of being in perfect control and then this little nitwit shows up. One night out of millions of nights, they lost control of themselves and had their way with a woman in heat. One bloody night of pure ecstasy and acting mindlessly on their urges, and this happens. How unfortunate. Sebastian glanced at the weeping girl over his shoulder. How in the hell did he lose control of himself for her? Why did he ever sleep with her? Seras was a pathetic excuse of a vampire; barely an equal in their eyes. How did someone like her managed to make them crave to fuck her? None of it made sense to him, and he was only growing angrier the more he thought about it.

"I can't believe this." The demon hissed as he looked back at the little pink plus sign. "I can't believe it. How did this happen?" He whispered under his breath. "Of all the people who could have beared my children, it had to be her? She doesn't know anything. She's so…weak and helpless. Not good traits for a child of mine to be carrying." Sebastian was so entirely focused on the test strip that he was utterly unaware that he was even speaking aloud. His temper dwindled away slowly and all that was left was a deep disappointment. "That child will be nothing but a joke. It would probably be best if she just got rid of…" He paused before he could finish that sentence. No, He thought to himself while he gazed at the plus sign. Sebastian then sighed deeply. He may have no desire to be a father, but a part of him was intrigued to see that little creature that could be his. Why? He didn't want children! In fact, he despised the little creatures! But yet…he wanted no harm to come to his little spawn.

And why hurt Seras? Why make her get rid of it if they weren't happy? Maybe she was. Maybe she wanted to keep it. Glancing back at the small blonde, his temper completely faded. Seeing those hot tears stain her face as she silently cried, he felt shameful for the way he acted. He never meant to lose his temper and scare the poor dear. The demon supposed he would have no issue allowing her to mother his one and only child. Surely one little fuck up wasn't going to tarnish his name, right? The paternity of that little creature will remain a secret from the others of their kind.

"Let's be clear, Victoria." Sebastian spoke as he fully turned to face the girl. Her hurtful eyes flickered back up to meet his stern gaze. "I want nothing to do with this." Throwing down the test result, Sebastian vanished from the room. Fresh tears ran down Seras' pale face. Hesitantly she glanced up at her master who was ever so quiet while he just stared at her. The anger was long gone from his eyes. All that remained was a disappointed look and a deep frown.

"M-Master," Seras whispered. Did her master feel the same way? Was he ashamed and hated the baby because she was a part of it? Was she just a worthless creature in his eyes? The Draculina was so unbelievably hurt. She thought she knew her mentors, despite her only meeting them over a week ago. She thought they had a connection. That they were good and would never do anything to hurt her. But she was horribly wrong. They were so cruel. Why? Why were they so cruel to her? She wasn't expecting anything from them. She wasn't expecting them to be happy or to celebrate with her. But she wasn't expecting this either. All she had wanted was to discuss the matter with them. Ask for their opinion of what she should do. She had no idea they would react in such a way; be so hateful and fierce. If she had known, she wouldn't have said a word to them.

"If I were you, I would stay clear of Michaelis for a while." Alucard advised as he turned his back on her. He walked towards the wall, but before morphing through it, he stopped. "Don't expect me to be happy about this news, Police Girl. I won't be as cruel as Michaelis, but I will say that I never wanted this. It has nothing to do with you or your genes. I just have no interest in ever being a father in this lifetime." Her master then fazed through the wall and left her all alone in the room.

Three Days Later

Seras' heart was racing in her chest and she felt utterly sick to her stomach. While she hasn't had any morning sickness yet, she was about ready to empty her stomach all over the pavement. The little vampire stood across the street of an abortion clinic. The day after her…talk with Alucard and Sebastian, she made an appointment. And today was the day. Despite her appointment being in less than five minutes, Seras couldn't find the strength to move from her spot. All she could do was just stand there and stare in horror at the clinic. The Draculina felt so entirely lost…maybe even trapped. She wasn't thrilled about the pregnancy, but could she really resort to this? Then again, could she seriously keep the baby after what occurred between her and her mentors?

A joke. That's what Sebastian said. That her baby was a joke. Was that because she was the mother? Or because, if the baby was Sebastian's, it was a half-breed? Would it not be accepted in their world? Would people hate it? Laugh it? What kind of life would the baby have? One of pure hell? Could she do that to a poor, innocent creature? Wouldn't it be easier to just…nip it in the bud and spare that child a future of pain and abuse from not only the supposed fathers but others of it's kind? Besides, this is what Alucard and Sebastian wanted. They wanted her to get rid of it. This was the right choice. Right? The girl then shook her head. This was her only choice.

The day was pretty gloomy, which was a perfect fit for how she was feeling. The sun hid away behind some dark clouds, so Seras was able to stand freely in the streets without having to worry about getting sunburned. Though, she did have a coat draped over her arm, just in case the sun decided to show itself at all. Hesitantly, the little vampire attempted to take a step forward, but immediately changed her mind. Not having the guts to even walk across the street closer towards the clinic, Seras stayed her ground and stared for a little while longer. She had already seen one mother go in; one that looked to be at least four months pregnant. It disturbed Seras seeing a woman walk in who had already started to develop a baby bump. By then the pregnancy is far too real; the Draculina wouldn't have had the guts to abort the baby. But, unlike that woman, Seras wasn't that far along. Hell, she didn't even feel pregnant. This should be easy. Why wasn't it easy? Why couldn't she walk in and just get it done and over with already? It shouldn't be this hard!

The baby won't feel a thing! She kept telling herself. It's not even a baby yet! It's barely even the size of a pea! And yet, she still couldn't move. Her fingers curled into her hand to create a tight fist. Maybe Alucard and Sebastian were right. Maybe she was weak. She can't even do this! Hot tears burned at the Draculina's eyes when remembering the demon's words. She wasn't worthy of having his child. Her genes didn't compliment his and so the baby was seen as equally worthless. Everything he had said hurt so much. Seras snapped her eyes shut to prevent from crying. What a horrid thing to say to someone! How could he be so cruel? Then again, he was a demon. Perhaps it shouldn't be much of a surprise to her that he would say something so vile. Why was she doing this?! Seras cracked open her blood red eyes to stare menacing at the clinic. Just because Alucard and Sebastian both were disappointed about the pregnancy? Because the baby was seen as a disgrace in their eyes? The look only darkened in her eyes. Why was she choosing them over her own baby? Why was she taking their words so hard when they were nothing but cruel monsters, unlike her unborn child who was purely innocent and did nothing wrong to deserve this?

Getting an abortion wasn't her only choice! And she was finally starting to see that! If Alucard and Sebastian were displeased, then they didn't need to have any part in raising the child! This baby was hers. It wasn't just theirs! The baby was a part of her and Seras will protect it no matter what! Even from her boarish mentors! ! If need be, she could always just leave the organization. Move somewhere safe where she could raise the child without having to worry about what Alucard and Sebastian will say to make the child feel unwanted or unloved. From then on, Seras was determined to become stronger. To become a real vampire so she had the power to protect her baby and hurt or kill anyone who even tried laughing at her innocent child.

Seras just about had a heart attack when she got that tingle in the back of her mind; that warning that someone powerful and dangerous was in her presence. Upon feeling it, she heard a sharp gasp before footsteps. And then, someone was grabbing her hard by the arm. Roughly, Seras was pulled, being forced to face Sebastian. His dark red eyes were simmering with disappointment and anger.

"What are you doing, Seras?!" The demon raised his voice. Flashing him a dark look, the little vampire tried pushing him off of her so she could walk away. Annoyed by her disobedience, the demon gripped her arm tighter and yanked her back towards him. "You leave the manor in broad daylight, not even dressed in the appropriate attire, and you come here?! Are you trying to scare us?!"

"Let go!" Seras tried once more to break free from his tight grasp. When he refused to let her go, she didn't hesitate slapping him hard across the face. The smack resonated in that little area of the street. The force was strong enough to make his head snap to the side. Humans paused to stare at the strange pair, some just as shocked as the demon that she had smacked him. Others snickered under their breaths, seemingly amused that a small woman struck such a tall man. "Let me go." She warned him through gritted sharp teeth. Her dark crimson eyes pierced him. The hate was clear in them and that stung worse than the slap.

"Hey, Miss?" A male murmured as he placed a hand on her shoulder. The demon narrowed his eyes on that hand. "Is this guy bothering you?" Before Seras could even answer, Sebastian was pulling her fully into his arms. The male's hand slipped from her shoulder as the demon protectively wrapped his arms around the little vampire.

"Keep off of her!" The demon warned him in a deep snarl. Losing control of himself for a split second, he gave away his true demonic voice. A look of fear shot through the human and his face paled when staring into those horrific eyes. Then, as if the three creatures hadn't existed at all, they vanished from the middle of that street, leaving stupefied and scared humans.

"Get off!" Seras hollered while she struggled against Sebastian. The three monsters appeared in the girl's bedroom. When Sebastian refused to let her go, she did everything in her power to make him yield. Relying solely on her instincts, Seras thrust her hand through the demon's stomach and out his back. She could feel the hot blood stick to her, making her feel dirty. The small blonde started to shake when realizing how far she went. She knew how angry she was at him, but…did she really do this to him? Tears started to creep from her eyes and trail down her pale face. Sebastian, on the other hand, was ever so calm. There was a glint of sympathy in his eyes while he just stared at her.

"Hurting me, would that make you feel better?" He asked her gently. Even after thrusting her hand through his stomach, he still didn't let her go. He kept her in his arms and even started stroking her hair, as if he was trying to soothe her. "I suppose I deserve it after the things I said a couple of nights ago. Please, if it makes you feel better, do your worst." Trying so hard to fight back the tears, the little vampire lowered her head in submission.

"No," She whispered, though her voice wavered as she fought back those tears. "I'm sorry," Carefully, Seras pulled her arm free, leaving a giant gaping hole in his stomach. "I'm sorry, Sebastian."

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have grabbed you." Sebastian responded softly. Hesitantly, he removed his arms from around her and took a step back. "I should have respected your personal space." He stared at her for a moment or two, though she refused to look at him, and then he proceeded. "What were you doing, Seras? Why did you leave the manor during the day? And why were you there?"

"Have we pushed you so far that you would actually consider aborting that child?" Alucard questioned her, sounding so very displeased.

"How…" The small blonde started but trailed off when she found that she was too upset to speak.

"Sir Integra informed us that you requested time in the city this afternoon." Sebastian answered while his wound healed completely. "Since you were acting in secret, she felt obligated to send out an escort to make sure you weren't going to do something stupid, such as feed off of someone." His eyes flickered down her being before stopping to stare at her flat stomach. "But I suppose we had something else entirely to worry about."

"You didn't already go through with it, did you?" Her master asked with a raised brow. The little vampire, while keeping her eyes on the floor still, lightly shook her head. "Don't," He said simply. Seras' brows drew together in confusion and she finally looked over at him.

"Wh-why?" She asked.

"Just because we don't wish to be fathers doesn't mean that we don't want you to be a mother." Alucard told her carefully. "We never told you to give up the child, and we don't want you to."

"He told me to get rid of it. He wanted me to." Seras replied with a fierce look in her eyes. She clenched her bloodstained fist.

"No, I don't." Sebastian corrected her. Her crimson eyes flickered up to look at him in bafflement. The frown on his face silently told her that he felt shameful for those things he said. While it didn't fully ease her, she did feel slightly better that he had a change of heart. "Forgive me for what I said that night, Seras. I know it's no excuse, but I was…never given that type of news before. I…didn't know how to react."

"I wasn't…happy about the news either." Seras admitted as she lowered her gaze. "I just wanted to talk to you guys, get your advice about it. But…you both got so mad. And then…you said it would be best if I just…got rid of it. I thought that's what you wanted. I thought you hated…" She trailed off with a deep sigh.

"No, I'm not particularly pleased about the pregnancy." The demon replied. "But I don't hate you or…the fetus. I just want you to be happy. Will having this baby make you happy?"

"I don't know." The little vampire answered in a whisper. She then glanced back up at him. "I'd already decided that I'm keeping it, though." A small smile appeared on the demon's lips.

"Good." He breathed.

"What now?" She asked with a shrug and a deep sigh. "I keep the baby but…what happens afterwards?" Her eyes flickered between her mentors as she patiently waited for an answer. Judging by that look in their eyes, she knew the answer already. The smile fell from Sebastian's face and he lowered his gaze to frown at the floor. "I know that neither of you want to be fathers and…that's fine. But…do you want…any contact with the baby? Will you…interact with him or her?"

"I don't know." Alucard answered truthfully.

"We'll be pleasant." Sebastian promised. "But as far as knowing if we want…anything to do with it…we're unsure."

"Okay," Seras murmured as she looked elsewhere in disappointment.

"But that doesn't mean that we're not willing to help you if you ever need it, Seras." The demon added. "The pregnancy may be rough, so you'll need all the help and emotional support you can get." Sebastian gave her a small smile.

"And children are expensive." Alucard snickered. "If you ever need anything for yourself or the child, we have the finances to support you." While it was endearing that they wanted to help in some way, what they were saying wasn't making Seras feel any better.

"No," The Draculina whispered a second later. "I'll make do." Once more, the smiles vanished from the males' faces and they stared at her in confusion.

"What?" Her master responded, earning the small blonde's attention.

"Financially, I'm alright. I have quite a bit saved up, so I should be just fine." Seras replied with a smile of assurance.

"Officers normally don't make very much. How were you able to save up a decent amount to take care of yourself and a child?" Sebastian questioned. The smile slipped from the girl's face and she was quick to avert her gaze elsewhere.

"My parents," She muttered awkwardly and rubbed the back of her head. "Their life insurance on top of the little money they had."

"Why are you being stubborn about this?" Alucard asked her. "We are offering assistance in caring for the child, and you turn it down? Why?"

"Why should either of you have to?" Seras asked with a shrug as she looked back at them. "You don't want to be fathers and that's fine. I decided that I'm keeping the baby. The responsibility is mine to deal with."

"But it's partially our responsibility as well." The elder vampire corrected her. "Even if we are against being fathers." There was a look of annoyance simmering in his eyes, but yet, his fledgling did not back down.

"Master, thank you for wanting to help, but I can take care of it." The little vampire assured him. For the first time, Alucard could really see the maturity and seriousness behind those eyes. This woman was determined to do this all on her own. What was she trying to prove? Why struggle to do this alone when they were offering her help? It baffled and fascinated him. "If anything should happen in the future where I am having trouble, then I will come to you with my tail between my legs. Deal?" Alucard stared at her for a long, silent moment. He wanted to keep fighting her about this situation, but knowing how stubborn she can be, he wouldn't win this little argument. Though, he was just as determined as her to be of assistance in some way. He'll make this little "deal" with her, but he didn't intend on fully obeying it. He intended on helping her every step of the way.

"Very well, Police Girl." Alucard responded with a respectful nod. Suddenly, something changed in his fledgling's demeanor. That bold look was replaced with an apprehension.

"I have…a favor to ask the both of you." The girl murmured, becoming ever so timid. Those haunting red eyes of hers returned to their natural dark blue. She dipped her head while a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Intrigued by what she had to ask them, the males grinned widely. They didn't think the moment was exactly appropriate, but perhaps she was ready to take them on as full time lovers. They wouldn't say 'no' to that. Quite the contrary, they were going to suggest the idea to her the other night before she announced her pregnancy. They just hope that they don't get their signals crossed. They were willing to take her as a lover, but they were still against being the child's father.

"What is it, Police Girl?" Alucard asked in a deep purr. His searing red eyes narrowed on his fledgling as he eagerly awaited to hear her beg to become their lover.

"I want to become stronger. I would like it if you amped up my training." The Police Girl announced. The males could hardly say that they weren't disappointed. That wasn't what they expected to hear, though it did become clear to them that Seras may not quite feel the way they did. Was the sex…not as good for her as it was for them? How was that possible though? They could explicitly remember her screaming in bliss. They could practically still hear her racing heart and heavy panting as she struggled to breathe. Since that night, Alucard and Sebastian couldn't think about anything else. Not having her was tearing them apart from the inside. They were dying to bury themselves back between those sweet, warm thighs and relive the pleasure they had never experienced before in their long lives. Why wasn't Seras as anxious as them to become lovers? Why wasn't she starving for the phenomenal sex? Why wasn't she begging for it, like they thought she would be? It was aggravating! Alucard and Sebastian were beyond starving for it. They wanted it so god damn badly.

"What Sebastian said the other night got me thinking." Seras proceeded when she didn't receive any feedback from either of her mentors. Both of them just stared at her with an unidentifiable look in their eyes. Well, there were two identifiable looks, and it was irritability and discomfort. Feeling uncomfortable under those cold, hard gazes, the little vampire looked down. "I am weak. In this state, I barely have a chance to protect myself. How do I have any chance to protect my baby? I need to become stronger. I need to start taking things more seriously. I will start drinking my blood bags regularly. I'll start sleeping in my coffin. I'll even stop training with the humans. I would like it very much if you helped me, Master. I would like it if you taught me combat and how to use my abilities."

"Are you asking to become a full fledged vampire?" Alucard questioned her then. "Are you asking to be freed from me?"

"No!" Seras blurted and she tilted back her head to look at her master in horror. "Not that, Master." She assured him. "I just…I want to stay your fledgling, but I just want to become a stronger vampire. One that isn't a joke and one that…doesn't disappoint you." It was so silent among them for a good long minute. The males just stared at her with those hard expressions that gave her chills. Finally, one of them spoke.

"Don't expect us to go easy on you, Draculina." Her master responded. Such a large smile crossed over Seras' face and her eyes lit up.

"I won't!" She exclaimed, seemingly happy to get her ass kicked by them.

"Unfortunately, your pregnancy will set us back quite a bit." Alucard proceeded as his eyes flickered to her stomach.

"It wouldn't be very gentlemanly to beat up a pregnant woman, would it?" Sebastian snickered in his hand.

"We'll start immediately by teaching you about your many abilities. You can accomplish that much through your pregnancy. But, after you have the baby, your real training will begin." The elder vampire added with a grin.

"Thank you, Master!" Seras responded with a sweet laugh. "I hope to make you both proud!" The grin faltered slightly from Alucard's lips. As her mentors, they were very proud of her. But, as her ex-lovers, they were greatly dissatisfied. Perhaps it would be best to just forget their desires for now and just focus on making her stronger. Deciding that was for the best, the males smiled softly at their ecstatic student.

End of The Test

I'm sorry that I haven't posted much these last few weeks. On May 11th, my grandma died. For those who don't know, my grandma raised me; she was basically my mother. These last few years, I had been taking care of her. She was bed bound after a botched back surgery. But since January, her health had really declined. She had been in and out of the hospital. None of the doctors knew what was wrong with her and she was only getting worse. Finally, this last trip to the hospital, a doctor discovered an infection in her lungs. After a lot of misconduct from nurses and other doctors, my grandma was finally going to be treated. The doctor told us she would recover and come home within a week or two. But, overnight, her health really declined and the doctor told us it was her time to go; that one she will be unhooked from life support, she will die within a few minutes. My family and I waited for two days in hope that she would bounce back, but her situation was only getting worse, so we had to unplug her.

I told you guys on May 7th or 8th, that I made my grandma a Koala plushie for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I was never able to give it to her since she was very sick and unresponsive. It may seem weird to some, but I actually plan to put some of my grandma's ashes in a heart pendant and place it in the Koala.

I am currently going through a lot mentally and emotionally. I'm really not in the right state of mind to write; I have lost all motivation. I am not quitting Fanfiction, but I do need time away from it. Honestly, I have no idea when I will be back, but it will be a while.
