Chapter 34:
Over the next days Emily showed JJ Oslo. They went to all the tourist sites; the castle, the fortress, the opera house, the marina and some more museums, but Emily also showed JJ another side of Oslo. She would take the blonde to small hidden treasures in the city, witch were untouched by most of the tourists. Emily would take her to some cozy little cafés during the day and small jazz clubs at night.
Today was different. They were going outside of the city, to see the nature. Emily had organized everything for their little hike. She'd spoken with the chef at the hotel and he had made lunch for them. This morning Emily had picked it up along with a thermos with coffee. Now the two of them were sitting on the subway, Emily with a backpack with their food, a map and a small first aid kit.
"Neste stasjon er Majorstua." [Next stop is Majorstua] The train slowed down and Emily got up and moved towards the doors. The brunette reached for JJ's hand and the two of them walked out of the train and into the sunshine outside. Once outside, JJ sighed happily and leaned on Emily's shoulder.
"You're not falling asleep on me are you?" Emily smiled down at her blonde girlfriend.
"No. Just enjoying being close to you!" JJ lifted her head slightly to look into the brunettes eyes. Whenever JJ looked into Emily's eyes she felt lost and found at the same time. They held so much feelings, but mostly love whenever their gaze would meet. Her eyes were showing the 'real' Emily. The two of them were lost in each others eyes and enjoyed their moment in their own world when someone bumped into Emily.
"Oi, unnskyld!" [Oh, I'm sorry!] The stranger straightened herself up and looked at Emily. "Emily? Er det deg?" [Emily? Is that you?].
"Rikke? Hei!" [Rikke? Hi!] Emily's face broke into a huge smile and she stepped forward to hug the other woman. "Dette er rart! Hvordan går det med deg?" [This is strange. But how are you?]. JJ stood back and watch her girlfriend interact with the other woman. They spoke back and forth, in Norwegian, witch bothered her. Who was this woman?
"Jeg har ikke sett deg siden du var her for 10 år siden! Jeg har det bra, jeg har endelig blitt politi!" [I haven't seen you in 10 years! I'm good, I'm a police officer now!] She ran her hand up and down her body to prove her point. She was dressed in dark blue pants, with black and silver reflex above her ankle, a light blue shirt with the words 'POLITI' [Police] was written across her chest, and a black tie. On her shoulders there were embroidered some gold symbols stating her rank. On the middle of her dark blue hat sat the coat of arms of Norway.
"Du ser bra ut konstabel!" [You look good officer!] Emily joked and winked. At her left side JJ felt uncomfortable. She hadn't been introduced to the officer and had no idea what was going on between them. And the way Emily smiled and winked was disturbing. Was she flirting with the other woman?
"Hehe.. Vel, takk for det! Hva driver du med? Og hva bringer deg til Norge? Tatt over ambassadørens plikter?" [Hehe... Well, thank you! What do you do? And what brings you to Norway? Taken over the Ambassador's duties?].
"Nei, ambassadør var aldri noe jeg higet etter. Jeg er en FBI agent faktisk, nesten samme yrke som deg. Jeg jobber som en profiler!" [No, to be an Ambassador was never my dream. I'm actually a FBI agent, the same line of work as you. I'm a profiler!] Emily stated proudly, before casting a glance at her girlfriend. "Jeg er på ferie i Norge med kjæresten min, som jeg ikke har introdusert deg for enda." [I'm visiting Norway with my girlfriend, witch I have no introduced you to yet.]
Emily looked guilty at the blonde and put an arm around her waist and shock her out of her thoughts.
"Rikke, this is my girlfriend, Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau, she is the communications liaison on the team we work on." Emily stated proudly and pulled the blonde a little closer. "JJ, this is Rikke Olsen. We both attended the same choir when I lived here, and she was the only one who dared to talk to me." JJ stretched out her hand and was met with a firm grip.
"It's lovely to meet you!" The redhead, Rikke, said and smiled. "You two look adorable together!"
"Likewise! And thank you!" JJ smiled back. "Is this the official Norwegian police uniform?"
"Yes, it is. I love it! It's pretty nice, don't you agree?"
"Yes, it is very pretty. What kind of weapon are you bearing?" The blonde questioned curious.
"Uhm, a baton?"
"Huh? No gun?" JJ looked confused.
"Nope, no gun. We don't bear guns in Norway."
"How is that possible?" The blonde asked dumbfolded.
"What can I say Agent Jareau, Norway has a very low criminality." JJ moth formed a 'o' as the information hit her.
"That must be nice, Rikke. Me and JJ deal with murder every day." Emily sighed.
"Yeah, I can't imagine that! Oh, excuse me!" Rikke pulled out a phone from her pocket and walked away a little to answer it.
Emily lifted JJ's head to meet her gaze. In the blue eyes in front of her was confusion and curiosity. Emily smiled, she knew she should have done the introductions sooner, but seeing Rikke had been surreal. She was however glad that JJ didn't seam mad.
"So, I need to run. My shift starts in 10 minutes. But it was great to meet both of you!" Rikke smiled and pulled out a card. "I'd love to catch up some more and get to know you. Call me if you have time!" With that the redheaded police officer smiled and walked towards the busy street.
"Neste stasjon er Songsvann." [Next stop is Songsvann]. Once again, Emily rose to her feet, but this time she pulled JJ into a hug and kissed her sweetly.
"Are you ready to go into the wild, baby?" Emily mumbled against the blonde's lips and stroke her hair.
"You think I'm scared? Sweetie, you ain't seen nothing yet!" JJ pulled back with a wink and a small laugh.
Holding each others hand the two of them walked off the train.
The sun was shining brightly as Emily and JJ walked hand in hand on the trail. The only sounds came from the two of them and the forrest around them. JJ inhaled the fresh air. She was surrounded by trees, everything was so different from anything she'd ever seen.
"Look it's so beautiful!" The two of them had stopped on a little hight and were looking out on the forrest.
"Yes, you are so beautiful Jennifer!" Emily whispered sincere, "and the forrest is nice too." Emily moved to stand behind JJ. She looped her hands around the blonde's waist and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Baby?" Emily whispered softly, "I'm sorry for earlier, with Rikke. I should had introduced you earlier, and we shouldn't have spoken Norwegian. I'm sorry!" Emily's voice was sincere and she sounded regretful. She didn't want to push the blonde, so she loosened her grip on her and moved a little away from her.
"Em? It's okay. I'm not mad. I was just wondering who she was, but you introduced us. She's an old friend, and it's okay that you were surprised and happy to see her. I'm just glad you said I was your girlfriend." JJ pulled Emily into her again and turned her head to capture the brunette's lips. "I love you!"
"I love you too, Jen. So, so much!" Emily nuzzled JJ's neck.
After standing there for a while, the two of them walked back to the lake, and sat down.
"So, ready for lunch, love?" Emily placed the backpack on the ground and pulled out their lunch and thermos.
"Yeah, I'm getting a little hungry! And I kinda want that coffee too!" JJ smiled sweet and innocently.
"When do you not want coffee, Jareau?" Emily teased.
"My, my, my Agent Prentiss. Are you feeling bold since you thought it would be okay to exclude my title? I thought we agreed on that." The blonde waved her finger in front of the brunette.
"Oh, I do apologize Supervisory Special Agent Jareau!" Emily faked being sorry and playfully poked the blonde.
"Uhu.. That's right, Prentiss!"
"Jen? If I have to call you Agent, you need to do the same! Now give me my kiss for not calling you agent!" Emily chuckled and pulled the blonde in for a long, hungry kiss.
After spending the afternoon around the lake, the two of them returned to the hotel in the evening. Tired from their little Norwegian adventure, they fell down on the bed.
"Thanks for today, baby! It was really, really great!" JJ lazily pulled Emily in for a short sweet kiss.
"Anything for you, my love! How 'bout a nap before we go out for dinner?"
"That sounds good." JJ snuggled closer and draped her arm across Emily's stomach. "You should call Rikke though. It'd be nice for you to catch up with her, and I'd like to hear about everything form when you were a kid and the whole choir thing!"
"Yeah?" Emily poped herself up on her elbow to look at her girlfriend. "I'd like to see her, but if you don't want to or feel comfortable, I won't call her."
"Emily?"
"Yeah?"
"We don't always have to do whatever I decide! I know you want to catch up with her, and she seams nice. And I'd really like to know some stories."
"Okay. Thank you, Jen!"
The two of the snuggled close under the comforter and were soon fast asleep.
