No. Jesus spoke to her and the beloved disciple John.

According to tradition, Saint John the Apostle was present at the crucifixion of Jesus along with Jesus' mother Mary. Jesus entrusted Mary to John's care, saying, "Behold, your mother," and to Mary, "Woman, behold your son." John took Mary into his home and cared for her as his own mother.

Let's pretend your two characters are called "John" and "Mary". Be sure to mention in your book that John and Mary are friends, or buddies, or pals, or whatever. Also be sure to make the point clear that John and Mary have no romantic feelings for each other whatsoever! It might help also if you explain how and how long ago John and Mary first met. Perhaps you could even say that John and Mary felt like brother and sister to one another.

If the house belongs to John and Marcia, we say, John and Marcia's house. The apostrophe comes after the last proper noun in a series. If the house belongs to John, Marcia, and Harry, we say, John, Marcia, and Harry's house. Please remember that apostrophes always show possession, not plural.
When speaking directly to her you call her by her first name or (if she is a child) you may use an affectionate term such as 'dear' or honey'. If you want to refer to her to a third party it's a little more awkward because there are no legal ties and so the relationship is informal. Let's say your stepson is called John and his girlfriend's daughter is called Mary. If your listener knows your stepson you might say: John's foster daughter; John's partner's daughter; Mary, John's girlfriend's daughter; or part of John's extended family. If your listener doesn't know your stepson you might say: Mary, a young family member; or one of my stepson's family; but there's really nothing wrong with Mary, the daughter of my stepson's girlfriend. The first time you introduce Mary into the conversation explain the relationship briefly and after that just refer to her as 'Mary'.
