Melody was speechless as she held their son in her arms. "Hi... my name's Melody. You don't know it yet, but... I love you. And I'm going to love you forever. So will this big guy here. He's your daddy."
Taking his son in his arms, Mike smiled as they locked eyes. "Blue eyes, just like his dad," he mused. "At the risk of sounding like Will Smith, welcome to Earth." The Independence Day reference elicited a chorus of laughs from the doctor and nurses.
They spent the next two days at the hospital so that the doctors could monitor the health and progress of Melody and Harry. As per Mike's wish, they were both deemed to be in excellent health, and were soon released to go home.
Life changed dramatically for Mike and Melody, but they met each new challenge head-on, embracing their new parental duties joyfully. True to form, Mike focused on being a dad, not just a father, changing diapers, getting puked on, and raising his son with love and dedication. Melody, naturally, found that being a mom came very easily to her. She was always able to easily make Harry smile, and always had a fantastic intuition as to what he needed in any given moment. As Harry grew into his toddler years, he was quite energetic, eagerly exploring any new object or place he could, all under the watchful eyes of his parents, of course. Mike began to teach him right and wrong, while Melody always kept him happy and entertained, deftly redirecting his energy and attention anytime he grew restless. After achieving tenure in the ASO, Mike decided their newfound financial security warranted a larger home, and the family moved into a townhouse nearby, intending to live there for at least the next twenty years.
As Harry approached the age of four, Mike and Melody decided to add one more member to the family, and gave birth to a girl, naming her Maya Lea Braxton. She was far more reserved than the more impulsive Harry, always taking in new situations and mentally processing them before diving in. Though the two had the standard squabbles expected between brother and sister, they grew extremely close the older they became, with Harry taking on a guardian role towards Maya, not unlike that of Mike towards Melody.
One afternoon, Mike and Melody had taken the kids to a park near their townhouse. As the pair climbed over the various jungle gyms scattered around the area, their parents marveled as Harry helped guide Maya over some of the larger, more frightening obstacles, finally showing her that she could make it over them, eliciting joyous squeals from Maya.
"Still wonder whether you'll ever become as good a mother as yours was?" Mike asked, slipping his arm around Melody's waist.
Giggling, she replied, "No, I guess not. They're two pretty awesome kids, aren't they?"
"Dad! We need one more to play Tag with us!" Harry yelled on cue.
"Be right there!" Mike replied.
"You are one hot dad..." Melody said lustfully.
"Well then... guess we'll just have to slow time later for some... mommy-daddy time," Mike replied with his signature grin.
Kissing him on the cheek, Melody whispered seductively, "It's a date." A quick pat on the ass, and he ran off to play with the kids.

Anonymousalmost 3 years agoSurprisingly well done. In reality, Christianity would be incompatible with genies, but since this is fiction, you did a pretty good job of representing the Christian faith in a genie story. I enjoyed reading about a character with good character.
Anonymousabout 7 years agoi know this is a bit of a late comment but i wanted to thank you for writing such a beautiful piece of work characters portrayed well and love the references to movies and stuff keep up the good work

rightbankalmost 8 years agoyour metaphors.

imho trying to reconcile your grounded reality with the ancient fantasy of the Jinn was a complete mash up.
wet_specialabout 8 years agoLooking forward to the next. Also please disregard Sithon as he's clearly trolling. You depict a sincere, loving inter generational and peer friendship between Christians including blacks and somehow get called racist. Are we still supposed to take these retards seriously?
Anonymousabout 8 years agoPlease take your racist attitude somewhere else. It's not welcome on otherwise friendly comment boards.
auguy86about 8 years agoAuthorClearly by your tone you are not a fan of my take on reconciling two completely different realities and how a person with these character traits would respond to a situation like the one I have presented. That is your prerogative, and if so, you are free to not read my work again. I knew before starting this journey that my unique perspective would not be popular with everyone, and I'm ok with that.
However, it is clear from your other comments that you have not actually paid attention to what you have been reading. In regards to Tyler, it was repeatedly stated that his natural instincts made him a good kid who wanted to do the right thing; his friends were the ones attempting to steer him down the path of criminal tendencies. If his natural tendencies were, as you suggest, of a criminal nature, Mike's advice would have had no effect on him whatsoever.
Additionally, you mistake Mike's lack of physical attraction to Sandra as portraying her as unattractive, which is not the case if you read the words I wrote. She is described as, and I quote, "quite a good-looking woman." She is not, as you suggested, unattractive overall, and I completely disavow your insinuation that being black makes her unattractive. Mike simply has his personal preferences and tastes in what kinds of women HE finds attractive to HIMSELF. Every person in the world, whether they will admit it or not, has similar preferences that they use in determining whether or not they find someone attractive to themselves.
I will not delete your comment, because I believe firmly in not silencing someone simply because I disagree with them. I have thick skin, and completely respect your right to disagree with me, however I will answer back when you are factually inaccurate in quoting my work. I sincerely hope you do enjoy reading my stories, but if you genuinely don't enjoy it, I honestly hope you will look elsewhere for something more enjoyable for you to read. Life is too short to read something you don't find to be inspiring.
Best regards, auguy86
sithonabout 8 years agoIt was very good of your character to steer the young man away from his natural criminal tendencies. It was also nice for your character to be friendly with his unwed mother despite being unattractive by being black.It was also great luck that he was a Christian otherwise all that power would have fallen into the hand of an evil atheist or some other religion without the word of God to steer them away from immorality.
Fine fine writingO:-)
FormerReaderover 8 years agoI had to re-read chapter 00 because I couldnt remember Selena. Anyways, very creative background for Melody that makes your series stand out from the other genie series. Thanks for writing them and I look forward to the last chapter you hinted at. 5 stars
auguy86over 8 years agoAuthorAs you can tell, I poured everything I had into this chapter. This was truly one of the biggest things I had envisioned from the very start, and have been constantly leading towards since the prologue. HOWEVER! There is still one more story to tell. I'm finalizing the edits as we speak, so the final chapter should posted soon. Thanks again, keep reading, and please spread the word to anyone who loves a good fantasy story that is still grounded in reality!
