The trio went on a honeymoon soon after, Jade joining them via magic so as not to tip anyone off. They drank, explored, fucked, ate, fucked some more, and slept. The night before they went home, the girls concocted an orgy with some of their favorite celebrities making appearances. Tulpas of Chris Evans and Chris Pratt had DP'd Laura as Adam was being pleasured by Jade, Kate Upton, and Kat Dennings.
When they got back, they tried to settle into "ordinary" life when Laura's mother announced she was still in town and wanted to see Laura. They agreed to have lunch together on a Saturday, Adam and Jade staying at home as Laura's mom wanted a private talk.
The two greeted each other amicably, the glow of the new bride still shining in Laura. Laura's mom was more subdued, ordering a martini with lunch, something Laura knew she rarely did. She took a big gulp before starting in with Laura.
"So, tell me," Laura's mom said hesitantly, but with conviction, "what's really going on with Jade?"
"What do ya mean?" Laura replied, not sure where her mother was going with this.
"I mean what's the real story?" Laura's mom asked again. "She's more than just a friend and I know you have some sort of weird relationship with her."
Laura really didn't know how to respond, not wanting her mother to know and also knowing she'd probably never believe the truth anyway.
"Jade's our friend," Laura said with shaky confidence.
"A friend who lives with you and seems to be around you two every moment," Laura's mom rebutted. "This girl just shows up in your life and suddenly you and Adam always have her around. It's strange, plain and simple. And I don't think it's healthy for your marriage."
"What?" Laura asked.
"A pretty young girl around the house and Adam," Laura's mother said, taking another big gulp. "She will try and seduce him."
"Mother," Laura said, trying to dissuade her, "Adam loves me very much. Jade loves us too and you're worried over nothing."
"I don't think so," Laura's mom insisted, "I'm not even gonna tell you what I thought I saw during the wedding."
"What?" Laura said now getting nervous.
"I imagined that you, Adam and that girl were..." Laura's mom trailed off.
"What?" Laura said, genuinely puzzled.
"Together," she emphasized, using her euphemism for sex. "On the alter even!"
Laura had a good poker face, but not that good. She was shocked about what she heard and needed to figure something out. She was fortunate that her mother had only imagined it and nothing more. She needed to douse this now.
"Mother, Adam and I love each other very much," Laura said sympathetically, "there is nothing wrong and you have nothing to worry about."
"Hmmm," Laura's mom replied, not at all convinced by her daughter's words. Something was going on and Laura wasn't telling her. "Fine," she finally replied. "But I'm telling you right now, Adam winds up leaving you for that girl, don't say you were never warned."
Laura tried hard to resist the urge to roll her eyes. What else could she tell her traditional, straight-laced mother? Yes, Adam was fucking Jade. That she was too, and that Jade was a genie.
Yeah, that would go over well, she thought.
They finished lunch and Laura immediately went home, telling the hospital that she wasn't feeling well.
She got home and surprised Jade, who was sitting naked on the couch watching a show. Adam was upstairs in his office on a conference call. Jade was startled to see Laura home so early.
"Laura, is everything ok?" Jade asked, getting up from the couch and hugging her lover.
"I think we have a problem," Laura said, sitting on the couch with Jade. She was so frazzled, she didn't even strip, like she normally would have. Jade had worry in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Jade asked, genuinely worried that she'd done something to displease her.
"I think mother knows," Laura said, still trying to figure all the pieces.
"Knows what?" Jade asked, still perplexed.
"I think she knows that we're all together," Laura said. "And I think she saw us at the wedding when we fucked on the alter."
"How?!" Jade said incredulously. "I froze time and I know I didn't restart until I dressed us back."
"She said she thought she saw something," Laura explained further, "and it sounded a lot like what we did."
"Laura, that is not possible," Jade tried to explain to her friend/lover/"wife". "She was frozen. I mean the only way she would've known anything is..." Jade said, thinking and realizing something while looking at Laura.
"What?" Laura asked her.
"Laura, when I first got released," Jade explained, "you knew about djinns and our history."
"Sure," Laura said, "my grandmother."
"On your mother's side?" Jade asked cautiously. Laura nodded and Jade thought. She figured there was only one way that this could've happened. "Laura," she said taking her hands, "I think your family may descend from djinn."
"What?!" Laura said, while Jade was trying to reassure her. "How is that even possible?"
"Djinn can have children," Jade said plainly. "Normally, if we do, we have a normal human child, but there were stories that some had at least a sliver of djinn power to them."
"Seriously?" Laura said, still stunned.
"If not powers themselves," she explained further, "at least a perception of power. An ability to resist the power of a djinn."
Laura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was it possible? Did she descend from magical beings? She was almost paralyzed.
"I really don't know what to do," she said in frustration, putting her hands over her face. Jade tried to comfort her.
"Maybe we should tell her the truth," Jade offered. Laura recoiled in shock.
"You really think my mother could handle the fact that you're a genie and we all have hot, crazy sex with each other?" Laura replied.
"Maybe we do it gentler than that," Jade recommended. "We should ask Master when he's done."
"I'm done," Adam said, coming back down from his office, naked as usual. "Babe, what are you doing here?" he asked his wife.
"Master, we may have a problem," Jade said gently. Immediately, Adam got tense, thinking all of this new life was proving too good to be true. He sat down nervously next to his wife.
"Mother knows something," Laura blurted out.
"Knows what?" Adam asked, glad it was nothing he did.
"Master, she seems to have some sense that I'm not quite human," Jade explained.
"How?" Adam asked calmly, trying not show the panic in his voice.
"We think she saw a little of the "wedding"," Laura said in quotes, Adam being stunned.
"Oh, my God," he said mortified. "She saw us?!"
"She thinks she hallucinated it," Laura further explained. "But she's looking hard at Jade."
"Oy," was all Adam could get out.
"We were talking about maybe telling her the truth," Jade offered.
"Oh, man," Adam said, laying back on the couch in disbelief over all this. "How would we even do that? What would she think?"
"Babe," Laura said after having some thought behind it all, "we may have to."
"Why?" Adam said, trying to sort through all this.
"Two reasons," Laura said, "one because she won't stop until she knows everything. Two because..." she trailed off looking toward Jade.
"Master, she may have some latent djinn in her," she explained. Adam's eyes went wide as Laura picked up.
"It's possible," Laura said. "It would explain a lot."
"Uh..." Adam mumbled out, "but how..."
"Djinn can have children," Laura explained.
"Normally, djinn give birth to human children, but it has been known to happen that a child could have some djinn abilities or sensitivities," Jade explained to Adam.
"I mean, is there a way to test for it?" Adam asked, Laura looking to Jade, unsure of the answer despite being a doctor.
"Not really, Master," Jade admitted.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Adam asked his wife.
"I think we have to tell her," Laura said with regret. Jade looked a bit nervous about it too.
"And how are we gonna do that?"
"We invite her to dinner here and lay it all out," Laura replied.
"Do you think she will accept me?" Jade asked.
"She barely accepts me," Adam said, never really getting along with Laura's family, with the exception of Laura's sister. "What do we do if she freaks and storms out? What do we do if she decides to tell your sister and everyone else?"
Laura and Jade looked at each other and shrugged, neither one of them really knowing what to do.
A few days later, Laura's mom agreed to come over for dinner. She was leaving town the next day finally after nearly a month long stay and the girls decided that this was when they should break the truth to her. Adam was taking heavy sips of the wine while they all gathered around the table to eat. The tension was easy to see as Laura's mom looked at Jade and him suspiciously, Jade looking more nervous by the second. Adam sat next to Jade and held her hand discretely, trying to soothe her.
Dinner was on the table and Adam looked at Laura to kick this off, since it was her idea. Laura's mom beat her to it.
