(Jim's P.O.V.)
I groaned slightly as I woke up, finding myself as 2-D once again, my cotton-thread midnight blue shirt over my black pants, wearing my beloved black boots, relieved of the fact that my uniform is safe in my cabin. I heard a mutter from Kip's voice, and looked over, widening my eyes.
"What are you looking at me for?". asked a noticed Kip. I licked my lips, and replied, "I was correct of my assumption, you're different now.". I took Kip in all of his new look. In his brown shirt over light blue pants, and dark brown shoes, his light brown hair evolving into a groomed mane, his grass green eyes feline-style, while his olive tan skin has changed into thin fur, his human ears changed into lion ears, higher on the sides, with his nose putting into a slighter bigger feline nose, black.
His hands is lankier yet similar to Captain's clawed hands, and his backside has a long tail with a light brown tuft. So, Kipling has changed into a Felinid Leo. I heard Captain's voice, "Wow, that explains a lot.".
"You think this change had to do with my animal ancestor's blood?". asked Kip lightly. Captain nodded, back in her splendid Felinid Catus body. There was a theory that Humans had animal ancestors very long ago at the beginning of time. Then we heard a shriek of surprise, and we three ran into Captain's cabin. I widened my eyes to see a completely different Annie.
She is still partly human, having her teal eyes normal, and her pale skin remained normal. Her ears had evolved into Bobcat ears, her black hair longer and dark as the night, and her tail on her backside is a Lioness style with a black tuft, and her nose had jutted into a narrow Lioness nose, pink, and her hands are Bobcat clawed style. So in all, Annie is a Rufus/Lea Felinid x Human hybrid.
"That makes sense since I am a Lion-alike and my brother, Annie's ex-father is a lion in theory, and I suppose Annie's ex-mother is a Bobcat in theory as well, yet the Human part is a mystery.". Kip mused in wonder.
"Maybe Humans has dominated over your animal ancestors for some time in your family history, which could explain the human part for you, Annebeth.". Captain theorized. The kid is well enough due to being in the womb still, yet I thought Annie looked ready to pop any day, which is strange as she's only 6 months along.
I asked, "Captain, How many months do your specific race carry kits for?". Captain widened her eyes, and sighed, "At least 2 months.". Kip sighed, "Humans carry for 9 months at most. And for Bobcats, they carry for almost 2 months, and for Lioness, they carry for a bit over 3 months.".
Annie murmured, "I don't know what the father is due to be, either human or something else entirely. The child will be very different, I imagine.". Kip sighed, "We really need to put you to bed rest, just in case. We can't risk anything anymore now. The child could be out earlier than expected back on Earth, and now we are in our new universe, home. Speaking of us, where are we?". Good question, Kip.
