Chapter 33:

Since the weather was nice the park was filled with other tourists, couples and families. Emily and JJ entered the park hand in hand. The blonde were excited and slightly pulled the brunette forward.

"Come on, Em!" She pulled her girlfriend forward.

"Slow down, Jen! The park won't disappear." Even though Emily loved seeing JJ this happy, she couldn't help but tease her girlfriend. The truth was that she found JJ very adorable and she loved her enthusiasm.

As the two of them walked down the allé, JJ was in awe at the sights. The allé lead them towards a bridge with some of Gustav Vigeland's sculptures on it.

"So, geek facts. There are over 200 sculptures in the park, made of bronze, granite and wrought iron. The park was finalized from 1939 to 1949." Emily listed up some of the things she knew about the park. JJ couldn't help but chuckle.

"What?"

"You're cute, babe!" JJ pulled Emily down to her and kissed her. "I love my nerd."

"And I love how you can put 'love' and 'my' in the same sentence." Emily smiled down to the blonde.

"What can I say? Words are my thing." JJ playfully poked the brunette in the side.

Emily's face matched the weather, shining. The brunette was proud to be walking around, hand in hand, with the beautiful blonde, she was unbelievable happy and head over heels in love. Life couldn't be much better than this. She sighed happily and squeezed JJ's hand.

"oooOOooo..! Em, check out this one!" JJ let go of the brunette's hand and almost ran towards a statue of a very angry little boy.

"Aaah... 'Little Angry Boy'." Emily trailed after her girlfriend. "This is one of the most famous sculptures in this park."

The two of them walked closer. JJ were was fixated on the statue while Emily amused herself by looking at kids who were imitating 'Little Angry boy'. The brunette was so distracted that when her girlfriend wrapped her arms around her, she jumped slightly.

"Oh, did I scare you? I didn't mean to." JJ said softly and kissed Emily's neck. Emily closed her eyes and leaned back into the embrace.

"Yeah, I guess I was lost in thought."

"What did you think about?"

"I was just thinking about kids."

JJ froze when she heard what Emily was thinking about. It wasn't that she didn't want kids or that she hadn't thought about it, but it was a bit too early, wan't it? Surly Emily didn't mean that they should have kids NOW? No, they were no where ready to be parents. Not that she don't want kids with Emily, because she does, but not yet. She swallowed hard and turned the brunette in her arms.

"Do you... I mean... Are you... Not that..."

Emily looked confused down at the blonde. The media liaison was normally in control of her words, but now she didn't make any sense. The brunette knew that the only time her girlfriend acted like this was when she was really nervous or freaked out by something. She tried to think back, what had she done? What had she said? Was it something wrong about the way she had been in the park? No, JJ had been happy and it seamed like the blonde enjoyed showing her the things she found. Suddenly it hit her. "I was just thinking about kids." JJ thought she had meant that she wanted kids! Shoot. No way she, they were ready for that she didn't want kids with the blonde! Emily could picture them in some years, having a little cute blonde boy or girl running around, looking exactly like her girlfriend.

"Jay? Calm down! It's just me, you can tell me anything and everything. Okay?" Emily didn't want to freak JJ even more out if the kids thing wasn't why the blonde had freaked out in the first place.

Emily led the two of the to a bench and they sat down next to each other. The older woman lifted her hand and stroke JJ's cheek. The blonde closed her eyes and leaned into the touch.

"You just scared me a bit, that's all Em. You said that you were thinking about kids, and my mind just went overkill. I'm nowhere ready to have kids now. But one day I want kids, I know that, and I love you Emily, so of course I want kids with you. Some day. Maybe in some years or so, when you and me have been together for a little longer than a couple of weeks. I'm just not ready yet, and then when you said what you said I thought that maybe you wanted kids and I can't give you that now and..."

JJ's ramble was cut off by her girlfriends soft kiss. Both women closed their eyes and used the time to think about how to say the things they needed to say without hurting the other.

"..." When they broke the kiss, JJ opened her mouth to say something, but Emily placed a finger on her lips.

"Jen, please. Just listen, okay?" She waited until the blonde nodded before she continued. "I'm not ready for kids either. What I meant earlier was that I was thinking about the kids that were running around here, so happy and carefree. Much like we've been today. And I've really enjoyed today." The brunette smiled before leaning forward and pressed a soft kiss to JJ's cheek.

"And yeah, someday I'd love to have kids with you. But like you said, we're not ready for that." One of Emily's hand found it's way to JJ's golden locks and thread her fingers through it.

JJ smiled and leaned into the loving touch from her girlfriend. She realized that it was the first time they'd talked about their future together. She snuggled closer into the brunette and smiled.

"You know what?" she drew lazy circles on Emily's arm.

"No."

"It's the first time we've talked about our future!" JJ's voice was filled with excitement.

"Wow.. I guess you're right. But we did good, didn't we?" Emily smiled down at the younger woman. "Come on, let's see the rest of the park! We need to at least see the 'Monolith'!"

Emily stood up and held out a hand for the blonde to take. JJ tok the offered hand and the two of them strolled around the rest of the park, enjoying the sculptures, the park and each others company.

After their trip to the park the couple had lunch before they did some shopping and returned to their hotel.

"I think I'm gonna grab a shower, okay?" JJ looked up from Emily's computer and saw her girlfriend standing in the doorway to the bathroom.

"Sure, go ahead babe! I think I'll grab one when your done." Emily moved over to the blonde and gave her a kiss before she disappeared into the bathroom.

While Emily was in the shower, JJ checked her email. There was one from Garcia, a short, sweet mail, saying she hoped they had a fantastic trip and that she expected to hear all about it when they returned. After reading and replying, she found a longer one from her mother.

"Dear Jenny,

How are you darling? Are you and Emily enjoying Norway?

When you told us you two were making the trip together your father and I was so happy. We know how much you always wanted to go, and we're glad you finally got the chance!

Here things are the same. Your father's business goes well. He has actually started to train one of your old high school friends to take over when he retires. Do you remember Frank? He hasn't changed much! But he is good at what he does.

I want you to know that you can call me, or your father, anytime and we'll be there for you. I know you had a hard time after you returned from New Orleans. I worry you know!

I miss you, Jenny! Come and visit us soon, and bring Emily! She is such a sweet girl!

Enjoy your trip and give our love to Emily!

Love,

Mom and Dad"

Just as JJ was done reading the mail, Emily came out from the bathroom.

"All yours babe." The brunette was wearing sweatpants and a big t-shirt. JJ put the laptop down and moved past Emily into the bathroom.

Emily heard the blonde rummage a bit around in the bathroom before the shower started. She found her iPod and plugged it into her MacBook. Once she was on her laptop she decided to check her mail. She clicked on the 'Mail' icon and suddenly Cindy's mail to JJ popped up. Emily didn't want to be nosy, so she logged out of JJ's mail without reading the mail from the blonde's mother.

While she logged on to her own mail and started to delete the spam, an idea formed in her head. She searched through her mail, until she found the one she was looking for and checked some dates. Smiling for herself, she opened up Google Crome and opened the page she was looking for. After finding the information she had been searching for she waited for the blonde to come out from the bathroom.

"This shower is great!" JJ thought to herself as she stood under the hot spray of water. As she enjoyed the water her thoughts went to her parents. She missed them, she really did. And after New Orleans she'd learn to really appreciate them. She really wanted to visit them, and to bring Emily, but she wasn't sure how to tell them that Emily was more than her best friend. She knew that they wouldn't judge her or disown her. She'd grown up learning that being gay was okay, and her parents liked Emily.

She sighed and stepped out of the shower. Wrapping herself in a towel she moved over to the mirror and looked at herself. So much had changed the past month. She went from straight with a boyfriend, to being kidnapped and abused with memory loss as result, to remembering everything again and finding herself in love with her best friend, to being in a relationship with the woman she'd fell completely in love with and being on vacation with her. As hard as everything had been, she wouldn't change it, to be in a relationship with Emily was the best feeling in the whole world.

With a huge smile she exited the bathroom and found her girlfriend laying on the bed with her laptop next to her.

When JJ emerged from the bathroom, Emily's face broke into a smile, matching her girlfriend's.

"Come here, I want to show you something!" Emily sat up, leaning her back against the headboard, pulling the MacBook onto her lap. JJ crawled on the the bed and sat next to Emily. The brunette's fingers flew over the keyboard, typing something.

"Okay, just hear me out!" Emily had stopped typing and was now looking at the blonde. "I know you miss your parents, and when I logged onto my mail, it opened yours and I saw that you had received one from your mother. I've checked our flying schedule and 15 minutes after we land in D.C. there is a flight to Pennsylvania. I don't want to push you, but I was thinking that we could go and visit your parents before we return home?"
