Not Another Girl (Hellsing x Reader)

Chapter 8

Integra Hellsing was bored out of her mind. She tried to be attentive as Sir Roberts gave his report; but she just didn't care. She turned him off and looked out the window at the falling rain. As she watched the rain fall, she thought about George.

Lately, George had taken up clapping her hands once and saying BOOM just seconds before it began to rain. At first, Integra hadn't believed it; but then she got caught in a sudden downpour. Walter had told her that it was just another side effect of sharing Alucard's essence. George was now very sensitive to the weather. Integra smiled to herself. George had said it was going to rain today; even though the weatherman had clearly said it would be sunny.

"Yeah, sunny." smirked Integra, as she noticed how many knight hadn't brought umbrellas.

"Sir Integra Hellsing." called Sir Roberts. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Yes, Sir Roberts." answered Integra. "You were telling me that these past two years have been very quiet, And that keeping my organization at full strength, or even around at all is a waste of money; Money that could be better used elsewhere, in health care for example."

Integra had sat through hundreds of these meetings; she knew how to listen, even when she wasn't paying attention.

"Oh, good. For a moment, I thought that the future of your organization may be boring you." he quipped.

"Sir Roberts, it's only been 10 months since the last attack, not two years. So I wouldn't disband my organization just yet." retorted Integra. "We've had lulls in business before; we see them as days to catch up on paperwork."

"Sir Hellsing?" called Sir Michaels.

"Yes, Sir Michaels." replied Integra.

"What would you do?" asked Sir Michaels. "If that day ever truly came and there were no more monsters to fight?"

Integra looked at him and smirked. "Take a very long and well deserved vacation."

"I'd think you'd take the time to sire and raise the next generation of Hellsing." chided Sir Irons.

Integra just raised an eyebrow at him. All of a sudden, Alucard appeared.

"Master!"

Integra jumped. "What in the hell are you doing here?" she asked, slightly miffed.

"You have to come home right now."

"Integra Hellsing! This is completely unacceptable!" shouted Sir Edgewood.

"Unacceptable; but important. Otherwise he wouldn't be here, right Alucard." Integra growled at him.

"You can shoot me later." said Alucard, flatly, as he scooped up Integra in his arms and disappeared. Alucard reappeared in Walter's private den. He put Integra down. "Here she is Walter." 

"Oh, good you're here." smiled Walter.

"Walter, what's going on?" demanded Integra. "What's so damn important that you sent Alucard to snatch me from a round table meeting?"

"Come on George." coached Seras. "You can do it."

Walter stood nearby, camera in hand.

"It's George's first steps." explained Walter. "A milestone no mother should miss."

"You pulled me out of a round table meeting for this?" complained Integra.

"Look master." called out Seras, happily. "She's doing it."

All of them watched as George stood on wobbly legs and toddled towards Walter, who was holding L-card and filming at the same time.

"Why so glum master?" asked Alucard, as he leaned against the wall. "You weren't enjoying the meeting anyway."

"Yes, but now they're going to grill me about why I left so suddenly. And I need a better excuse than our daughter's first steps." Integra let go an annoyed sigh and started rubbing her temples. "They're already pushing me to get married and sire children, since things have been so quiet lately." 

Alucard just smiled.

"And what the hell are you grinning about?" asked Integra.

"That's the first time you've ever called George our daughter." He noted.

Integra just raised an eyebrow at him. Then she felt something hit her leg. She looked down. George had made it past Walter and all the way over to Integra. George plopped down at Integra's feet and giggled. Integra just looked down at her, as George held out her hands to her wanting to be picked up.

"Sir Integra, your daughter wants you." Walter stated happily, proud of little George's achievement.

Integra sighed and sat down on Walter's floor. George crawled into Integra's lap. Integra patted George on the head; but George hugged Integra for all she was worth.

"Good job, George." praised Integra.

George stood in Integra's lap and gave her a kiss. Integra made a face and wiped the kiss away.

"Enough of that." she said, standing George on her feet to face Alucard. "Go and see your father."

George just giggled and danced around in circles. Integra just shook her head. Yeah, she too had been that happy once...a long, long, long time ago.

"Come on George." called Seras, who was now holding L-card. "Come and get L-card."

George fell down. She looked at Seras and L-card and crawled off towards them. Integra was surprised when Alucard walked over to her and put his foot down, blocking her path. Undaunted, she tried to crawl around him. That's when Alucard picked her up and stood her on her feet.

"Plimbare." He commanded her, as he gave her a gentle slap on her backside. "Stand up and walk." George just growled at him. Alucard growled right back. "PLIMBARE."

She furrowed her brow and toddled off towards Seras. Alucard just looked at Integra, who was looking at him.

"If you don't challenge her, then she'll stay mediocre." he explained himself. Then he reached out and gave Integra his hand.

"She's only a child." Integra took his offered hand and stood up.

"And so were you when you inherited me." said Alucard, as he watched George walk over to Seras and give her a hug. "But just look at the woman you've become."

Integra thought about his words.

"Now, do you wish me to return you to the round table meeting now?" asked Alucard.

"No." Integra gave him a wicked grin. "For the first time in my life, I get to use the excuse family emergency."
