-1Unexpected Love

After everyone left Jake's bedroom, Rachel was still sitting on Jake's bed. Jake came into his room again to see Rachel crying. He sat down next to her, and put his arm around her.

"Whoa, Rach. You okay?" Rachel sniffled and shook her head in reply. "What's wrong, Cous'? You never cry."

"I - I'm scared, Jake. About what you said. About next week. I'm really scared." Her shoulders shook, and Jake hugged her. Then he put his hand on her cheek and guided her face to look at him. She looked into his eyes, and then lowered them as more tears fell down her face. Slowly, Jake leaned in and kissed her tears away. Rachel looked up into his eyes again. "Jake?"

"It's gonna be alright, Rach. I'll make sure you're safe. I - love you, Rach."

"Love you, too, Cous'."

"No, Rachel… I love you. Like I'm your boyfriend, you're my girlfriend. That's how I want it to be." Jake whispered the last part before leaning in and pressing his lips against Rachel's. She jerked her head and struggled until he pulled away. "What's wrong, Rach?"

"Jake, I - I… it's weird. As far as I know, cousins don't kiss each other."

"But, Rach. Didn't you learn about ancient Egypt last year? They made seventeen

year old Cleopatra marry and have kids with her twelve year old brother?"

"Yeah, but they didn't know any better, Jake. And I know you do."

"I do know better, Rach. I know what I'm saying, what I'm doing." He kissed Rachel until his lungs begged for air. Then he pulled away.

"I don't know, Jake. It feels wrong." Jake stood them up and then wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her again, and forced his tongue into her mouth. When he pulled away, Rachel looked at him strangely and shook her head. "Jake! We have to find Ax! Now! The disease! It's happening again!" Jake didn't question her cries. He grabbed her hand, and they ran out of the house and towards the forest. Luckily, they found Ax in no time.

"Ax! Ax, help!" Rachel yelled to him.

Rachel? Prince Jake, what is wrong? Ax asked.

"I…don't know."

"Ax, help me! The allergic reaction disease is happening to me again!" Rachel cried. Jake and Ax's eyes widened.

Jake helped Ax put Rachel onto his back. She clung to Ax's soft, furry, blue neck as he raced through the forest.

It is impossible. Unless… Prince Jake, it is! Ax cried. He ran faster, and Jake ran to keep up. Once they neared the scoop, Ax slowed down. It has to do with a defective DNA pattern that has entered Rachel's body. Prince Jake, have you recently put your DNA into Rachel in any way? Ax laid Rachel down on the table.

"Well, I kissed her." Ax morphed to human. He stepped to the side of the table to look at Rachel. He put his hands on the side of her waist, then slowly moved his hands up the sides of her body, and back down again.

"The reaction should occur in about thirty-six Earth minuets." Ax stated. He quickly moved his hands up and down her sides again. "No, thirty-two minuets."

"Ax, what can we… is there anything we can do to stop this from happening?" Jake asked. "Damn, Rachel. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you."

"It's okay, Cous'."

"Yes, it is alright, Prince Jake. I understand that it is hard for you humans to control your emotions no matter whom they are for. But your saliva has your DNA in it. And when it mixed with Rachel's it got into her body, and charged the reaction. The morphing technology made it so that if DNA that is too similar to yours mixes into your body, an allergic reaction will occur, as it is right now.Well, your body in contacting some scarce traces of the previous DNA you had a reaction to before, Rachel. In twenty-nine minuets now, Hereth Ilint will occur again." Ax concluded.

"But, Ax, how can we stop it?"

"There is only one way, Prince Jake. Rachel needs the DNA of another male."

"Ax, there's only you." Ax blushed.

"Oh. Well, Prince Jake, I do not know. The only way to transfer my DNA into her body is to do something more than a mere kiss. I already have both of your DNA in my body for this morph. But since I have both of your DNA already combined, it should hopefully stop the reaction."

"Ax, how?" Rachel asked, sitting up on the table.

"I guess I will have to mate with you, Rachel."
