So...This is the ultimate reason why this fic is rated T. Our Hero and Heroine engage in fornication but here lies the reason I utilize the Punch-Out characters for this story idea I've had for a while with most every character other than Little Mac being a legal adult (And in this story it's been a year since the events of Punch Out so Mac is now a legal adult at 18) but with these characters being grown men there a little more free to do as Miss Frizzle says 'Take chances, make mistakes and get messy' (Wow, in this context that sounds pretty bad) also Glass Joe is French is we're being perfectly honest, it's pretty likely he doesn't give a rat's tail about fornication he'd probably phrase it as 'Shouldn't you at least taste the cheese before you buy it?' OK enough with the jokes as this chapter is actually pretty serious
Glass Joe sighed as he basked in the warm afterglow as he felt Dana stroke his chest with her large furry hand...Comparing this to the previous two one night stands the human women simply lay there like starfish and Joe always felt they were both incredibly bored during the entire experience, in contrast Dana had been rubbing her hands over his back and had been laughing and even howling during the experience. Thinking about the stereotypes about French lovers, Joe imagined most would imagine he would be smoking a cigarette by now, but Glass Joe only smoked once when he was 16 some of his 'Buddies' invited him to smoke with them under the bleachers and that night of nearly hacking up his own lungs Joe realized that he was the kind of person who should never smoke...That was back in the 1980s when already public sentiment was turning against smoking and Joe realized that if he got addicted to nicotine he would very likely not make it past 50...Maybe that's why he drank so much coffee, forever making up for that one afternoon of smoking.
"You were good..." Dana sighed as she nuzzled into his chest a little her voice was much more high pitched than previous times she spoke, but at the moment Joe didn't notice. She laid his hand on her head and ruffled her 'head-fur'
"I am sorry..." She said "...That I can't give you children..."
Joe felt his heart skip a beat at that...He never really thought about having children so much of his life had been consumed with thoughts of boxing and at most dreaming of getting girls if he became a champion but now that, that dream seemed more and more unattainable he froze at the thought of starting a family...
"I've...Never thought about having children..." Joe said quietly "...All my life I've just been thinking about becoming a champion boxer...But...Now I'm beginning to feel I am over the hill..."
"You're only 39," Dana said "You're not that old isn't Von Kaiser older than you?"
"I'm old for a boxer..." Joe said as he wasn't sure Dana completely understood "But...You're right in that I'm not too old to settle down and start a family..." However imagining the difficult parts of raising children briefly sent a shiver down his spine so he quickly wanted to change the subject.
"Anyway...You were pretty good to..." He said as he rubbed her behind the ears "...You clearly also have some experience I see..."
"No..." She said "...I am a virgin."
"Could have fooled me," Joe said "Didn't give any sign of pain when we started."
Now that she had mated Dana's usual defenses were completely down, in her new state of being she completely spilled the beans.
"I have been trained..." She said "...I was created to be the perfect companion and now that we have mated I am completely bonded to you...I am your obedient servant..."
And that cozy glow Joe had been feeling completely vanished replaced by the chill he felt as the blood drained from his face...And some other parts too...He quickly pulled away from her and got out of bed.
"What's wrong?" Dana asked/pleaded as she went to follow him although deep down she already knew what it was.
"What's Wrong?!" Joe spun around "WHAT'S WRONG?! Tu oses me poser cette question?!" Joe however quickly took some deep breaths and calmed himself running his hand through his hair He had to keep calm to keep speaking English otherwise she was not going to understand a word he said
He went to the Kitchenette and pointed to the other chair "Sit." He said firmly and she quickly obeyed, normally he would not sit on the kitchen chair stark naked but he was too frazled at the moment to put on clothes, he had to get to the bottom of this NOW!
So realized I should save most of the exposition for the next chapter and just let the drama bomb sink in these these two chapters have really been the crux of the story also Dana can't give Joe children not because she's spayed or otherwise infertile it's because as a crazy hybrid there a chromasome issue why two species that aren't closely related have children like a cat and raccoon at least at the moment she thinks she can't have children with a human because that's what the scientists taught her as a human hybrid there may be ways to 'trick' her body into becoming pregant by a human male but that would also require some fancy technological development that fortunatly is already in the works
