Not Another Girl (Hellsing x Reader)

Chapter 5

Alucard and Seras were out killing ghouls tonight as usual. So it was up to Integra to watch George. Not a task that she was enjoying either. George wouldn't stop crying. She had fed her, changed her, and was now pacing the floor with her; but she couldn't get George to stop crying. So finally she gave up and took her to see Walter.

"Walter, where's the off button? I don't know what's the matter with her?" asked Integra. "I fed her, changed her, and walked her. She just won't stop crying."

Walter took George in his arms. He gently rocked her and sang to her. George quieted down, but she still cried.

"How do you do that?" asked Integra, at a loss for Walter's magic charms.

"It's your heartbeat." explained Walter. "Babies spend so much time close to the chests of their mothers that they get used to their heartbeat. If the mother is upset, then the child is upset. You must control your heartbeat."

"Maybe that's why she likes Alucard so much. He doesn't have a heartbeat. So she probably misses the peace and quiet." reasoned Integra.

"Waaahhh." cried George.

"Sorry George." said Integra, as she stretched to get the kinks out of her neck and shoulders. "But your father is out hunting. He won't be back till sunrise."

As if she understood Integra, George started crying louder.

"Now why did you tell her that." asked Walter, trying to calm her down again.

"Why not? It's the truth." said Integra. "If I'm to be her mother, then I will not lie to her."

"Here, if you hold her for a moment." said Walter. "I have an idea."

Integra took George and started pacing again. "I command you to stop crying." said Integra, like she was ordering one of her troops.

George paid her no heed and proceeded to cry louder.

"Well, it was worth a try." sighed Integra.

Walter went to the laundry and pulled out one of Alucard's red coats. He brought it back to George. He held it up at arms distance. George recognized it and immediately reached out for it.

"Just as I thought, she wants Alucard. And nothing will calm her until she gets him." said Walter.

"This is going to be such a pain, if she's crying every night." complained Integra.

"Well, maybe we can come up with a surrogate." said Walter.

Walter started to walk away. George started crying harder.

"Walter, leave me the coat." begged Integra.

Walter handed Integra the coat. George simmered down to a whimper. Walter then left and when to George's room. He picked up one of her stuffed rabbits and returned to his room. Integra was now sitting down in his chair. George was wrapped inside Alucard's coat and she was falling asleep. Every once in a while she would start crying again and then settle down. Integra watched as Walter cut a piece of cloth from Alucard's' coat.

"I'm sorry Sir Integra, if I might trouble you for the sleeve from your blouse." asked Walter.

"My sleeve?" questioned Integra, wondering what the hell he was doing.

"Yes. This won't work without a proper shirt." he explained.

"Anything to get her to stop crying." consented Integra.

She held out her right arm and Walter tore her sleeve off. He then pulled out a sewing machine and proceeded to make clothes for the rabbit. He tore a bit of cloth from his vest to make pants for the rabbit. And then he went back to the laundry.

Integra watched him curiously as he seemed to be searching for something. Then he found it. It was one of Seras favorite shirts. He took a bit of cloth from it and made boots for the rabbit. When he had finished, the rabbit was now dressed exactly like Alucard.

"Heh, heh, heh, you forgot his hat." commented Integra.

"Oh, right. Hmmm."

Walter looked around, but then decided to use a bit more of Alucard's coat. He sewed a bit of cardboard into it to give it a stiffer feel.

"There we go. Perfect." said Walter. "Here George."

George looked at the rabbit in Alucard clothing and reached out for it. She sniffed it and was content. It only took fifteen minutes more until she was completely asleep. She curled up in Alucard's coat and tightly hugged the rabbit for dear life. Integra smiled.

"Finally." smiled Integra, grateful that Walter's idea had worked. Integra walked back to George's room and placed her in the crib. George immediately started crying. "Oh, come on!" Integra picked her up and paced some more. "I have work to do, you know." scolded Integra.

Then she remembered what Walter had said about her heartbeat. Integra put on Alucard's coat. She sat down in the rocking chair and held George close to her. She rocked and hummed. Soon George was fast asleep and so was Integra.

Alucard and Seras returned from their mission. Both wanted to check in on George before they turned in for the day. In George's room, they found both George and Integra fast asleep. Alucard smiled at them as he noticed that she was wearing his coat. But he frowned as he noticed the holes in it.

"What happened to my coat?"

"Hey master, look at this." pointed out Seras. "Someone made an Alucard doll for George."

Alucard looked at the rabbit. It was wearing his clothes. He tried to examine it more; but George had such a tight grip on it, that he had to sacrifice one of his shadow tendrils to get it out of her grip. Alucard held the rabbit up and studied it. The rabbit had his coat for a hat and coat, Integra's shirt, by the smell of it, for a shirt, Walter's vest for pants, and Seras shirt for boots. Alucard chuckled as he gave the toy back to George. Now she would always have her family close to her.

"Should we wake her and report in?" asked Seras.

"No." said Alucard. "Let them sleep. Just type up your report and leave it on her desk."

"Yes, master." said Seras. Seras kissed George. George sighed, but remained asleep. "Good night, George."

Then she left. Alucard looked upon Integra and George's sleeping form.

"This is how it should be." he thought. "I WILL protect you both." Alucard stroked George's hair, but kissed Integra's forehead. "Good night George. Good night, my master."
