Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Man you're very good with making outfits for avis. ^^)

Three months had passed, time seemed to just move so quickly anymore. Two wishes still remained and over the three months Jack was slowly enjoying Raja's company. They would trade off sometimes. She would cook meals, he would pamper her with belly massages or help her understand his culture. They even began to cuddle a little.

Jack would find himself relaxing on the chais, since his couch was magically changed, watching a movie or occasionally playing a video game. Suddenly she would float down and snuggle into his lap. It was like she craved attention, and it was cute. Slowly he was starting to have feelings for her, but hid them. Raja was an all powerful Genie, she also still had feelings for Aziz still he figured.

The way she had spoken about him really seemed that he was the only man she loved or would ever love again. No matter what, he found his life a bit happier now that she was in it, she seemed happier too. Occasionally he would come home to find her belly dancing around the living room, awkwardly because of the baby belly she sported. Raja didn't seem as distant either as before. He might not ever make his other two wishes, part of him wanted to keep her in his life forever.

Yet there was also that part of him that knew, eventually, she would need to move on to another Master. If only he could figure out her curse, Jack had tried asking her but she was so vague about it. Like she didn't even want to address it. In fact lately, she didn't really prod him about asking for a wish. He would come home to find his house cleaned up, occasionally one of the pieces of furniture changed like the couch, and a hot and delicious meal waiting for him.

Raja had become some kind of housewife, or behaved like one. Was it because she was pregnant? He would always thank her and spend time with her after he got home. Weather it be a cuddle or helping her understand his culture. She was so innocent and wonderful. Raja would hide if his friends came over to hang out.

They would find his new furniture odd but he would just laugh and make up some excuse for it. When people came over, her bottle was tucked away in his room. Locked in a small cabinet he kept at his computer desk. When they would leave he would let her out, and spend time with her to make up for locking her up. She had become such a part of his life, that Jack couldn't imagine a day without her!

College was the same, though over the last month the new transfer student had been eyeing him. Occasionally she would giggle and act so shy when he would pass by her. One day, as summer was approaching, the young woman had gotten bold and spoke to him.

"Huh?" he asked mostly out of surprise. Blushing their eyes met and he felt the world around him come to a halt. His heart raced some as she flashed her cute little smile at him. Jack was suddenly smitten with this exotic woman, in an instant. "Oh uhh...yeah I've got free time, uhh...nothing I'm not doing anything later." he stumbled over his words blushing and feeling so foolish.

This woman was muddling his mind, but that was alright. Instantly he wondered what to do. No doubt Raja was waiting for him with a meal as usual, and he couldn't really bring himself to invite this woman over. Mostly out of fear of the somewhat protective pregnant genie he kept around. Staring at her batting eyelashes he glanced away shyly. "S-Sorry, I've just never met someone..so beautiful. Let me start over again...heh. I'm free later. I'm free all weekend actually. There isn't anything that important I'm doing honestly." he said smiling shyly.

Suddenly, the promise he made to Raja filled his mind and he bit his lip. "C-Come to think of it, I forgot I had a paper to write. Heh...err...m-maybe tomorrow?" he stuttered out not realizing he was playing hard to get.

The course was over with, and he pulled from her. They had been alone for a half hour. Raja would question him when he got home. "I-I've gotta go...bye..." he said politely pulling away and making his way out of the room quickly. Unaware that she had planted a seed in his heart, one that would make him melt like pudding, not literally, and think only of her as it bloomed.

Even during his walk home the mysterious woman filled his mind. "I'm home!" he called out immediately smelling something cooking. Raja made him forget about the woman oddly. Locking the door behind him he dropped his bag upon the couch and smiled as he found her in the kitchen. "Something smells great! I'm so hungry!" he stated happily.

"How was your day Raja!? Any remodeling you want to surprise me with today?" Jack chuckled as he gave her cheek a kiss. Something he had gotten used to doing when he got home. Was that an apron she was wearing too? Raja had become some kind of odd housewife hadn't she?

(You're welcome. :3 In the pastry rp I'm waiting for Fallen to catch up before I post again.)

Jack blushed as he felt Raja's tail wrap around him. That also was something she seemed to do more. Chuckling he draped and arm over her shoulder and poked her nose. "Silly, you have to be careful when cooking bacon." he somewhat flirted as he hugged her from the side softly.

Raja turned to show him his dining area and his blush deepened. "Gosh, one day I'm going to come home to a palace. It's very lovely, I noticed you loved pillows." he chuckled resting his head against hers. "It's gorgeous, like everything you change Raja. Did the little ones give you any trouble today?" he asked rubbing the side of her belly softly.

When she asked about why he was late Jack shook his head. "Oh it was nothing, the lecture went on a bit more than usual. Sometimes you can't get my professors to stop talking." he said with a smile. Technically he wasn't lieing, because that day his professor did speak way over the time limit.

Jack just couldn't bring himself to tell her about the woman he met. The Human wasn't sure what she'd do, Raja was so happy. He would hate to see her slip back into her previous state or worse, become a Jinn herself. He had told the woman he would meet her at the local book store tomorrow. Strange enough she didn't seem to mind. "I'm going out to hang with a friend tomorrow some, so I'll be gone a bit. We're meeting at the local bookstore in town, is there anything you'd like me to pick up for you there Hon-err...Raja?" did he almost accidentally call her "honey"?

Jack was slipping, pretty soon he would start to believe that the babies were his and he was married to her. Raja played the part of a home maker so well. Cupping her face with his hands he smiled softly at her. "Hey, thanks for everything you do. I appreciate it so much. I'm sorry you have to stay cooped up in this place. If only you could disguise yourself and come with me. You must be bored out of your mind." Jack said softly gazing into her sparkling eyes.

For a moment there was silence as he stared at her, biting his lips he suddenly found himself unable to really speak more. Raja was so wonderful, this Genie of his, Jack was so lucky. Shyly smiling he glanced away a bit. "We should eat...I'm sure you're hungry..." he finally said quietly.

Jack blushed at her nuzzling but smiled warmly. She was so cuddly this woman. Her beautiful heart dazzled way more than her features, truly a rare gem. As he walked over to one of the chairs he sat down and fell back a little into it's softness. Blushing at him embarrassment he took the bowl from her and blew on it.

"Hmmm....you know, having a disguise would be a good idea Raja. Then we can go do things together and---" a realization hit him. She was pregnant, and chances were that her disguise would be pregnant also. What would people say if they saw him walking around with someone pregnant?

Blushing he glanced down, "I-I guess we'd have to make up a story or something for you huh? I-I mean with you being pregnant and all, if you managed to pull of a Human disguise..then people would think they're mine." he stuttered a bit shyly. Realizing that might he rude he shook his head some.

"N-Not that it would be bad or anything! I uhh...am not saying your belly or babies are awful. In fact, you look cute that way. W-We need to break that curse though, so you can finally have your babies and stop being pregnant."

Stopping there Jack began to eat, hopefully he hadn't said anything rude or hurt her feelings. He would feel so terrible if he did. Raja was so special to him after all. The chowder was delicious, a large "mmmm!" erupted from him as he began to eat with a bit more vigor. "W-Wow! The textures and the spices really add to the density of the chowder! This is delicious!! You outdid yourself Honey! Uhh...err....I-I mean Raja!" What was coming over him lately?

Jack knew that he was falling for her, because he would stop and blush sometimes as he noticed her floating around. Either spending time with her babies, talking to them and such, or just being so innocent. Even now, with her sitting there wearing that apron, she seemed so much like....much like...a newlywed expectant mother! Looking down he tried not to stare into her eyes, this was silly. He felt like a fool for falling for her, yet Jack couldn't help himself.

Raja was so wonderful! Who wouldn't fall in love with her!?

Jack finished his bowl and relaxed. Very full she always seemed to give him a ton of helpings. Shaking his head he smiled at her. "No...no Raja. I would hate for you to accidentally mess up and hurt your babies. Find a disguise that helps you and them, after all they deserve to enjoy being with their mother when she's out and about. It won't embarrass me, we could pretend you're my friend who's decided to be a Surrogate. Then again, there is that little problem with being pregnant forever." he sighed, "If only there was another way. Maybe you could change into an animal? Like a cute little cat or something that sits on my shoulder? No...that's stupid. It wouldn't be fair to you either. Tell you what, follow your heart and pick something Raja. I won't complain or anything, I know you can make a good choice."

Getting up Jack made his way over to her large cushion chair and cuddled up to her. Softly rubbing her tummy he rested his head against hers. He could already feel the life spark within her as they recognized his touch. Lately they only seemed to be active when he did touch her belly. Jack had noticed her belly moved around a bit to his voice too, maybe they figured him to be their father?

"I'm so tired, today was a long day. It's nice to come home and have someone to cuddle. What would you like to do now Raja? It's just you and me, "us" time. " he softly cooed in her ear closing his eyes for a moment as he felt her babies follow his hands as he gently massaged her tummy.

Jack smiled and sighed happily. "You know I've been thinking about something lately. I'm so glad that I never used all my wishes right away. I feel like I've gotten to know you personally over the last three months we've shared Raja. You're special to me,,n-not because you've got a beautiful body, or serve me, or grant me wishes, just being around the woman who's at the center of all of that is wonderful. I'm afraid I'm conflicted a little. I...don't ever want to let you go, but sooner or later I'll have to. I'm sure there's some code or law that states I have to use my wishes by a set time or something? I just...my life..would be so empty without you in it. Thank you for everything you do Raja." kissing her cheek Jack snuggled her gently.

Meaning every heartfelt word. Unknown that he was her destiny, the "key" to freeing her from the curse she was in. Also, unknown that he was a prime target. One to be pulled from her, to prevent her from being "unlocked".

(I have an idea. What if the Jinn tricks her instead of him? Or maybe she uses Jack like a puppet. Puts him under a spell that breaks her heart to the point where she becomes a Jinn herself. Then maybe during a fit where she's all evil and getting ready to destroy the world or something Jack's true love wakes him up, he comes to his senses, and confesses in sort of a "leap of faith" moment, kisses her and frees her from her curse, maybe putting it on the Jinn that caused the whole mess from the start? (she won't be pregnant though). What do you think?)

He raised a brow when she almost called the babies theirs. Was she..starting to have feelings too? Ignoring that he softly continued to massage her tummy as they cuddled. "Sure you can play one of the video games. Which one?" he asked softly massaging her arms.

Jack blushed softly at her kiss and stared deep into her eyes as she explained everything. Chuckling he winked, "I can put up with you and your babies. Wow five years...what happened to him? Was he killed or something?" he asked with a curious smile. Jack loved learning about her past masters. "Oh and also hold onto me." he cooed softly grabbing her and standing up with Raja in his arms.

Even though she could float he didn't care and began to walk out of the kitchen. "You can tell me about it as we make our way to the living room." he said nuzzling their noses together.

(Sly Cooper series, such an awesome series. I've only played the first game though, watched the other two on youtube. Anyway, that's a cool plan. What about Aziz though? I mean does he just kind of poof away "Ok I'm free...see ya!" XD rofl jk Also you and post again then I'll skip it to the next day where he meets the Jinn. :3)

He smiled and softly placed her upon the chais and prepared the console and the game for her. When that was finished Jack rested upon it with her cuddling up to her as he watched Raja play the game.

"Well who did you have as master after him?" he asked resting his head upon her shoulder. Raja had become good at playing these games. Maybe she played them while he was gone? No matter it was fun watching her get so into them.

Raja was so adorable when she died or lost too.

(Ok :3 we'll cross that bridge when we get there. ^^ Oh and yeah! Sadly, I lack the proper console to play it though. ^^; Do you think there will be any more Sly games after Thieves in Time?)

Jack had forgotten how comfortable the chais was and soon found himself asleep. Cuddled up to her, one of his hands resting on her tummy, he just couldn't stay awake. She probably didn't really need to worry about sleep being a magical being, and she was so nice and warm too.

--------------------------------------

Morning found him in his bed, Raja must have gone to sleep or something because she didn't seem to be around when he woke up. Sometimes she would be gone for most of the day, only to pop up and greet him happily. This must have been one of those times.

As he went about his day, it came time to meet the mystery woman. Jack was off and would have plenty of time to spend with her. That night he had an odd dream about her. They were married and she was heavily pregnant with his child. Raja was there too serving them happily and comparing tummies. It was so weird though, but everyone was so happy...unusually happy.

Jack was nervous, what if she copped out on him? He was kind of vague with the woman. Mostly out of fear of what Raja would do, still...should he really care? A thought crossed his mind as he sat there waiting for her. Chances were that maybe this woman he was meeting today could the the one he had always dreamed of. Genie or not, she would have to comply if he met someone anyway.

Not knowing that the seed had opened a little and was poisoning his mind Jack sat there as a sudden wave of excitement hit him. Noticing a car pull up and the woman he met, stepping out of it.

His heart was pounding in his chest as he watched her stroll up to him in slow motion. The way she wore everything, the bounce and sway of her curves, and the way beauty just radiated from her. Jack's face was lit up in a deep blush, she was so wonderful. Like an exotic fruit just waiting to be plucked and bitten into.

Oh where had she been all of his life?

Her words snapped him out of his stupor as he gently took her hand. "I'm doing fine. What about you?" he asked sweetly glancing away shyly. "Oh I'm Jack by the way, sorry for bolting yesterday. I never did get your name." every moment they would spend together, the more her magic would feed the seed until it bloomed.

A few guys in the parking lot did double takes as they noticed the hot,exotic woman before them. Jack felt so shy and couldn't stop staring into her eyes. Perfect, everything about her was just so....perfect.
