Just An Ask, But Baby Dhampier, Baby Adrian How Do We Raise Them Assumingely.. Picking Your Brain For

Just an ask, but baby dhampier, baby Adrian how do we raise them assumingely.. picking your brain for your thoughts alongside mines.

Okay so vampires or dhampires got some extra human traits and I had just been immersing myself in typical children scenarios because baby fever wow, seeing kitten videos does something:

1. Teething, do pacifiers exist in the 1400s? Most likely not therefore I give you the image of possibly Dracula and Lisa resorting to giving a fussy, slightly sobby Adrian a giant chicken bone to naw on for his gums. A huge comedic one please like tiny fist cannot wrap around it and instantly he calms down and happily noms it.

2. Clothes, how fast does a superhuman toddler grow? Too much I say! Outgrowing the handmade clothes that was made beforehand or Adrian wearing slightly oversized outfit that he will grow in. Maybe like those white nightgowns that old royalty children used to wear

3. Rowdiness, I mean children are strong holy shit when you look away for one moment? I can see baby Adrian going to shenanigans as a buff baby dhampir getting into stuff he’s not suppose to like climbing a shelf or onto the roof of the castle as soon someone looks away or running away from his caretakers whenever they’re preoccupied for a second because he wants to be alone or look for something

Hi Nonnie! I love your thoughts about dhampir babies. Thanks for sending this wonderful ask. They are yet to be explored in this fandom. So here are some of my thoughts about them. (Also baby fever is so annoying like I did not ask for this...I need to stop watching those videos. I can't afford a babi rn...seriously)

Dhampir are generally immortal, but their formative years are more human-like. They are vulnerable, much like any other mortal, during their youth. Before the age of 18, their flesh runs warmer than that of a grown-up dhampir.

However, they grow slower than human children, as aligning with their vampiric nature takes time to manifest. This is why Alucard starts as a smaller baby compared to others, a smoll tot, and utterly adorable, until one summer when he turns 18 and undergoes a magical, blink-of-an-eye change, growing through the roof.

During their toddler years, dhampir children love to bite anything and everything, even adorably chomping on their parent's nose. It's an instinct that kicks in early on. Their bites don't draw blood or carry, but they are slightly more painful compared to human children.

The teething process takes longer and is more uncomfortable, leading to fussy dhampir toddlers. Dracula can often be seen trying to calm down a cranky Alucard late at night, rocking a crying toddler out in the night breeze, allowing Lisa to rest.

With parents like Dracula and Lisa, Alucard gets his fair share of baby inventions, which may include carved chicken bones (credit to nonnie).

Despite all this, baby Alucard is a menace. He will climb out of his crib to run into Dracula's office, and hide-and-seek becomes an official tournament in the Dracula household.

Dhampir's heightened senses make them extremely curious and adventurous even from a young age. As toddlers, they love exploring their surroundings and have an uncanny ability to find hidden or secret spots in the castle or wherever they live. This keeps their parents on their toes (A very squeamish Alucard led to increased use of baby sling to hold him close while working).

Dhampir children have an inherent affinity for animals, especially bats. Alucard, as a toddler, would often be found surrounded by a flock of bats, playfully interacting with them.

Dhampir toddlers tend to have a mischievous streak, inherited from their vampire side. They may play harmless pranks on the castle staff, such as hiding their belongings or rearranging things in unexpected ways. It's very fae like during their growth years.

Imagine for Wolf!Alucard

Let's have a sip of our simp tea and get started.

Imagine watching Adrian take the time to cut and sew holes in all of his pants so his tail can swing freely. He does it begrudgingly because, let's be real, he loves his clothes and audibly gags at the thought of purposefully ruining them. But if he wants to walk around comfortably it has to be done. He's crossed legged on the floor, with scissors and a needle and thread. Every time he snips the scissors he makes a little noise between an anguished moan and a growl. After a while, he let's you help and watches you like a hawk while you do it. Once they're finished he tries one on and turns his back to the mirror while gazing at his reflection, swishing his tail back and forth before sighing.

"It's good enough."

Alucard’s huff of annoyance puffed against your lips as Trevor came crashing down on your private moment between the bookshelves of the Belmont Hold. His lean body was towering over you, having pressed your back to one of the stacks of shelves. His one hand was placed on your waist, thumb smoothing over your clothed skin in intimate and comforting circles; meanwhile the other hand’s fingers were gently curled beneath your chin to tenderly tilt your head up as his fanged mouth descended upon yours in what would have been a tender kiss if not for the atmosphere being ruined. 

Adrian’s golden eyes flickered to the side to look at Trevor who now had a smug look on his face as the dhampir turned his head to face him. The Belmont's muscular arms were folded over his chest and everything about his body language said exactly the words that Alucard knew were about to fall from his mouth: ‘It’s about damn time - I was starting to think you didn’t have it in you, Alucard.’ 

“It’s about damn time - I was starting to think you didn’t have it in you, Alucard.” He said with a teasing look on his face. You huffed out a disappointed sigh and let your head fall forward to rest against Alucard’s collarbone, upset that the moment had been ruined when you had been just millimetres away from kissing him for the first time - the dhampir who had stolen your heart. 

“Get lost, Belmont.” Alucard said plainly and dryly, not maliciously and yet with a tone that told him that he found this situation nowhere near as funny as Trevor did.

“Alright, lovebirds~ As long as I don’t hear any creaking later.” And with that said, he walked out of sight away from the aisle that the two of you had thought you were hidden away in. 

“Oh my god…” You groaned against Alucard’s chest, mortified. 

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ

You had taken Alucard into the kitchen when he had entered your room in the night, unable to sleep, unable to bear that harsh reality that he had killed his own father. You had offered to make him some comfort food as you gave him your shoulder to cry on and he had ended up kneeling on the floor between your legs where you were sitting upon a chair, his face buried in your sternum and arms wrapped securely around your waist as he wet your nightgown with his tears. 

He had calmed down now with your sweet whispers and tender caresses as your fingers delicately combed through his silken gold hair. Now, your forehead rested against his as you gazed deeply into each other’s eyes. Your thumb gently smoothed across his angular cheekbone and trailed right down to his pillowy bottom lip, tugging down just enough on it to get a flash of fangs. 

He leaned up to close the miniscule distance between the two of you and his lips pressed to yours in a kiss that spoke thousands of words of thanks to you for just being here in this moment with him, for having woken and got out of bed just to care for him in this moment of need. You kissed him slowly, sweetly, letting him take the lead entirely as you had risen from your bed this night with his comfort being your top priority. Nothing could ruin this perfect moment as his hands encased your sides and yours ran down his back, nails lightly scratching across his shoulder blades over his shirt to make him shiver slightly. Nothing except for the smell of the porridge burning at the bottom of the pot where it had been left unattended for so long, anyway. 

You pulled away from his sweet lips with a curse upon yours as you shot out of the chair to take the pot off the stove. 

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ

You watched with a little smile on your lips as Adrian placed with the children of the village, impressing them with his vampiric abilities, letting them admire his fangs in a look of fascination whereas you all had not so long ago lived in a time where these children would have ran in fear at such a sight. He had a little girl perched on his shoulder while two more kids stood around his feet, one of them holding onto his cape as he spoke to them. They had taken to calling him father as so many of them had lost their own fathers to night creatures. It filled you with a sort of warmth to see this side of your lover - he truly was a soft and delicate man at his heart behind his hardened warrior’s shell. 

You knew that these children in particular were orphans and that they were more attached to Adrian than any other as he was now the only sort of parental figure they had. You had learned this from the things they would tell you when you often acted as their teacher and brought them into the castle’s library. With that same smile on your lips, you approached the little group of them as Alucard set down the little girl from his shoulder and greeted you with a peck to the cheek. 

“Mother, are you teaching us in the library today?” Your eyes widened a little at the name as it was not something they had ever called you before but you tried to not show your shock too much as it felt cruel to shoot them down when they were only looking for comfort after having lived through such trying times. 

“Mother?” You questioned and then quickly added your answer so as to not let them think this was too serious and to assure them you weren’t offended, “And we can go to the library if you’d like.” 

“Well if Alucard is father now and he’s in love with you, who else would mother be? That’s how it works.” The little girl piped up. Your gaze melted like butter when it met Adrian’s molten gold eyes at knowing even these children had picked up on how much you loved each other and saw you as their parents. 

“I think I’ll join today too.” Your lover added. The children replied in a chorus of cheers but you couldn’t stop your heart from fluttering in your chest, nor could you take your eyes from the man who owned each and every one of its beats.

Since Dracula is a vampire basically dead he’s cold, and Lisa was human making her warm, that Alucard being a mix of the two is anemic and despite being warmer than a vampire, he’s colder than a human and likes to wrap up in his cape cause it’s cozy.

But this also means that when it comes to you he naturally gravitates to you.

When sleeping in bed you two could start off on your own sides, but you’ll always wake up to him curled around you and legs tangled with yours.

But on the flip side, he gets a laugh watching you jump when he surprises you with a cold hand under your shirt.

Or you crying out he’s “too damn cold! Heat thief!”

It brings him such joy to hear it ringing throughout your shared home.

you’re his warmth, his blanket, his warm home to come back to.

Though he does love making you tremble as his cold hands slide down your sides, holding your heated skin.

Or enjoying having you in his lap, your back against his chest and your legs spread, just for him to slowly bring a hand down and make you jolt, gasping from the cold touch of his hand on your sex.

Ahhh! The purring thing is so cute! My cat knows when I'm upset or unwell because she'll hover around me and try to climb on top of me to purr and lick my chin.

Anyway, I'm just imagining two big ass vampires purring like kittens. I bet Dracula and Alucard would also 1000% purr against you if you were unwell. Headache? They're nuzzled up alongside you, gently rumbling. Bad day? They'll be sitting with your head against their chest as you vent. They'd be like cats, lol. Cats that could rip a man limb from limb, but still. It would be so sweet.

-melody anon

THIS IS GENIUS!

Dracula is more open with his purring, you’re his beloved and he’s not ashamed of any love he has to give you. Stomach ache? He’s nuzzling close to your stomach just so his purrs rumble, and massage your stomach.

He loves holding you close, and anytime he can he will hold you and start purring.

If you point it out his purrs only grow, as he knows you love it, and will nuzzle his face into your neck and leave rumbling kisses just to make you feel better.

Alucard is much the same, his purrs are at at much lower volume than his father’s but that doesn’t make much of a difference when he’s curled around you, nuzzling his cheek against yours and purring in your ear.

He loves it when you slide in his lap while he’s reading, just to lay against him, it always gets his purrs going. Or you kissing him repeatedly, it has him melting and purring so loudly.

When you’re in pain or just had a bad day he’s instantly wrapped around you, cloak and all, just to make you feel better.

He loves you and hates it when you’re upset in anyway, he wants to make you feel better.

the mental image of Alucard holding his newborn daughter is very cute!! 🥺

Alucard as a Dad

Request: I really liked the pregnancy fiction, can you do one for Alucard as a dad?

Summary: He knows her, knows her even more intimately than himself. A sigh of relief escapes him, and a genuine smile graces his face, erasing any lingering hesitance from his tumultuous past.

AN: I tried ;) (Dividers by @chachachannah- thanks!)

Please read this before continuing-Part 1 (It makes sense I swear)

With quivering hands and a resolute expression, Adrian cradles your daughter for the first time. A quick glance in your direction unsures he's handling everything correctly.

Yet, the moment her delicate weight settles in his arms, an understanding dawns upon him. He knows her, knows her even more intimately than himself. A sigh of relief escapes him, and a genuine smile graces his face, erasing any lingering hesitance from his tumultuous past.

The unadulterated happiness that courses through him sweeps away all uncertainties. "Narya," he addresses her by name, and your daughter meets his gaze, her tiny lips curving into a response that mirrors his smile.

She carries his resemblance remarkably, with scattered tufts of golden hair and shimmering, golden eyes. Yet, her toothless grin belongs entirely to you. The slight dimple on her chin is a charming legacy from her mother.

The first time you bring Narya to Castle Dracula, the three of you embark on a memorable project. You collectively paint your footprints on a massive sheet of paper, an endeavor that involves both you and Adrian fluttering around a squirming Narya to capture her tiny foot imprints.

In no time, he compensates for every missed moment during your pregnancy. Tired arms from holding the baby? Alucard steps in. Need a restroom break? No problem, Alucard is already at Narya's side. Late-night bouts of pacifying your daughter's cries? Adrian is there, soothing her before you even stir from your sleep.

From tending to a slight fever to ensuring a delayed burp, Adrian, despite being her father, becomes the quintessential mother hen to your daughter.

You willingly grant Adrian the time to bond with his daughter, to acquaint himself with her unique essence. You, on the other hand, have known her existence from the very moment it dawned upon you.

Your baby, a blend of both dhampir and human, bears a predominantly human appearance, with the exception of her luminous eyes and slightly lower body temperature. Her growth mirrors the developmental stages you've observed in countless other children around you.

Yet, within the secret corners of your thoughts, you harbor a desire for her to inherit more from her father. You yearn for her to possess the gift of immortality, akin to Adrian. This longing stems from your wish to leave behind someone for Adrian when your own time inevitably wanes – a constant presence to anchor him in the world.

One late afternoon, as you gently pry open the door to your bedroom, a heartwarming scene greets you: your daughter slumbers serenely atop your husband's chest. Her tiny hands grasp his shirt, finding security in his embrace. Adrian's arms cradle her with tenderness, and what takes you aback is the genuine, tranquil smile adorning his face in his slumber. This smile, free from the habitual furrow of his brow or the weight of his recurring nightmares, fills your heart with a renewed sense of hope.

In that moment, you find yourself fervently praying for her immortality more fervently than ever before. It's not just a wish for her own well-being, but a yearning to ensure that Adrian's happiness.

Castle Dracula becomes livelier with your daughter's presence. Her giggles and Adrian's baby voice ring loud from whatever room father and daughter decide to grace.

And if you walk in on your daughter cuddling into a large wolf or clapping around a party of bats you join the party. Winking at the wolf as you jump into the cuddle pile.

There are days when Alucard holds your daughter and for hours talks to the pictures of her grandparents. Both Lisa and Dracula get to meet her.

Matilda, Ronnie, Bowie, and Pink are all dolls made by Alucard for your daughter. Each given a special feature and leaves your daughter a giggling mess. Be it Bowie's squeaking noise or Pink's flapping hands.

On nights when your daughter sleeps peacefully and the world lulls into silence. Adrian turns to you and lays bare his vulnerability. All the sorrow and gratitude is expressed in quiet whispers. Tears and reassurances hold you both together.

He does not easily forgive himself for his abandonment of you during your pregnancy and it shows up during lively family dinner, story times, or nap times. But you do not allow him to spiral. Holding him close you lean in and tickle your dhampir until his booming laughter fills the room.

Both uncle Trevor and Aunt Sypha undergo the regular mandatory Narya bragging session by Alucard either in person or through letters. It doesn't surprise you that your daughter take a liking to the Belmont sooner than anyone else. "She is just compensating for his lack of intellect," your husband ads trying not to scowl at Trevor. "Haven't you heard opposites attract? My daughter just finds you stupidity funny." Neither Trevor nor Narya turn back from their conspiring whispers to reply to your annoyed husband. He does get a sympathy shoulder pat from you.

Three years later, with Narya's fist wrapped around your finger you enter the healer's hut again. Only to find the news of Narya's sibling on the way.

And this time your pregnancy is spent in Castle Dracula, next to Alucard, who takes in every detail. He spends weeks waiting for the bump to show, and nights after that talking to it.

The child inside you definitely recognizes his voice, because any indication of Adrian's presence leads to a very active march in your belly.

Alucard does not shy away from indulging in your pregnancy cravings. Pickles with jam? That's his jam now. He will join you to chug pickle juice straight from the jar.

He is however, very much concerned about the morning sickness bouts. Entirety of Dracula's library is turned over to find a cure but the child inside of you is as stubborn as his father.

Both you and Alucard burst laughing the sight of Narya mimicking your pregnancy waddle.

When the labor starts you find yourself next to Alucard again. Your hand clutched in his and your breath coming heavy. You push for an hour before your sons enter the world. Surprising everyone.

You give birth to twins bearing your and Adrian's features. Narya becomes an elder sister.
