Chapter 39:

"Oh! Did you know that police officers in Norway don't carry guns!" JJ had Emily's laptop in her lap, her parents to her left and Emily to the right. On the screen now, was a shot of JJ next to Rikke in her uniform.

"Her face was priceless when Rikke told her. I though I had to pick up her jaw from the ground." Emily laughed softly. The statement earned her a laughter from Cindy and Nathan, and a poke from JJ.

JJ smiled happily at Emily and kissed her cheek. This was perfect, being here with Emily.

"Are you girls hungry?" Before either of them could respond, JJ's stomach growled hungry. "I guess I'll go start dinner." Cindy smiled an got to her feet.

"Would you like any help?" Emily didn't want to intrude or invade the other woman's kitchen, but it would be rude not to ask.

"Yes, that would be nice Emily." Cindy smiled, "it's nice to have help in the kitchen, Jenny never does anything."

"Hey! How did this end up being 'pick on JJ day'?" JJ folded her arms over her chest and her lip formed a pout. Emily chuckled at her girlfriend's childish behavior and bent down and gave the blonde a small kiss.

While Cindy and Emily made dinner, Nathan and JJ sat in the living room.

"So tell me a little more about Emily."

"Emily is the kindest, most caring woman you'll ever meet. She and I hit it off immediately when we met. She comes from a rich family, so Hotch and Gideon gave her a hard time in the beginning because they thought her parents had pulled some strings. Witch they hadn't. The rest of the team were behind our bosses, and in our line of work it's hard to trust new people."

"But you did?" Nathan studied his daughter.

"Yes. From the very first moment our eyes met it was something between us. She was sitting in Hotch's office, she had just told him that she'd been transferred to our team, when I came trough the door to tell him we had a case. During the briefing I was distracted and kept wondering who she was. When we got back from the case, her paperwork was sorted out and the next day I got a memo that said I was to brief her and show her around." JJ smiled thinking back.

"I had just read the memo and prepared the briefing for the new Agent. She was scheduled to meet at 9 am, so I about an hour to prepare myself. I walked out of my office to grab some coffee and there she was, nervously pacing the floor. She had her back to me and mumbled something to herself, so I cleared my throat. Poor Emily jumped and turned so fast she almost fell over. After introducing myself, and her apology for being early, I started the briefing, after getting coffee for both of us. There was something about Emily that made me relax and trust her. She is the first one to have the ability to make me feel so comfortable after such a short time."

"How are you holding up Emily?" The two of them had worked in silence for awhile before Cindy looked at the brunette.

"I'm fine," Emily turned around from where she was facing one of the windows in the kitchen and smiled. "Thank you so much for letting us stay for some days. JJ has looked forward to this trip since we planed it."

"Oh, having you and Jenny here is no problem at all! We have plenty of room and it's not often that Jenny gets to come home." Cindy smiled and the two of them finished dinner.

The next day were much the same. Emily learned more about JJ's childhood and about Cindy and Nathan, and JJ learned more about Emily. The blonde tok her girlfriend on a tour around East Allegheny and Emily did learn that the town was too small for a bowling ally. Too soon their time was up and it was time to return to Virginia.

After the pair had packed the car, it was time to say goodbye. JJ leaped into Nathan's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Bye, Jenny. Take care of yourself now! And stick with Emily, I really like her!" Nathan smiled and whispered into his daughter's ear.

"Thank you for accepting her Daddy! And if I have a say in it, I'll never let her go!" she whispered back in his ear.

Emily was now used to hug JJ's parents and accepted the one she got from Cindy.

"You take care of yourself now, honey! I love how you protect Jenny, but remember yourself too!"

"I will! Thank you for these lovely days, Cindy!" Emily had almost tears in her eyes. Whenever she would visit her mother, there goodbyes were never like this.

After the final goodbye, the two of them climbed in the car and drove to the airport.

"Home, sweet home!" JJ sighed happily as she collapsed. Emily walked after her, carrying their bags and shutting the door with her foot, before placing the bags on the floor and lock the door.

"Anything you want, Jen?" Emily ached to call the blonde by her full first name, but she didn't want her to have another flashback or do anything else that hurt her, so she stuck to 'Jen' or 'Jay'.

"Just your lips." JJ smiled lazily and patted the spot next to her. The profiler smiled and made her way over. The two of them got lost in each other and nothing except them existed in the world.

Emily closed her eyes. She knew they had to talk about this living arrangement. Technically JJ didn't need her to stay any longer, she would be cleared for work this week. But before she could voice her thoughts JJ's phone interrupted her.

"Agent Jareau!"

Emily didn't have to ask. She knew the look JJ was having. They caught a bad case, and would leave directly from the airport next morning. Witch meant being away from the blonde.

"When do I have to be there?" she asked sadly when JJ hung up.

"8 am tomorrow."

"Okay. And what about you?"

"Hotch pushed my psych eval, so I'll have it tomorrow, and if I'm cleared I'm coming after you."

"Okay."

"Do you... Ehm... Would you... I mean..." JJ struggled to find the right words. She wanted Emily to stay, but at the same time she understood if the other woman needed her space.

"Look Jay, we have a lot to talk about, but can I just stay tonight? I just want to fall asleep with you in my arms, I won't see you tomorrow."

"Okay, Em. Let's go to bed, you have a long dat tomorrow."

"Thanks baby. I love you Jennifer Jareau!"

"I love you too Emily Prentiss!"

A/N: So a new, hard case. Where are they going: A) Back to New Orleans or B) Some other place, my decision. And will JJ be cleared right away or not?
