Happily I look around. Norway is just so fucking beautiful. The snow on the trees and rocks is glowing in the sun and when I look down the mountain I can see the ocean reflect the sun and the cloudless sky. It looks absolutely astonishing. I could walk through this winter wonderland for hours if it wasn't that cold. Even though I'm wearing several layers of clothing I'm freezing my ass off. Fortunately the others are the same so I'm not the only one. Okay, Erl's parents and siblings and their partners aren't freezing too much but Jude and Jadon are shaking from the cold as well. Therefore we don't walk for much more time, we really don't want to catch a cold. We just walk to the beach once and the two Englishmen play with Norah and Sofie whilst I'm talking to Gabi and Jan, then we return home. Since the little girls have been running around all walk long they're really exhausted. That's why they need to be carried which Jadon and Jude do with pleasure. They just love the girls way too much and could never say no to them. And to be honest it looks damn cute. Jadon carries Norah in front of his chest and she has totally snuggled up to him and even fell asleep. Jude carries Sofie. She's sitting on his shoulders, he holds her feat and she softly pulls his hair, pretending she can control him like Linguini is controlled in the movie ratatouille. The Englishman is laughing constantly and really walks in the direction she's pulling his hair. I watch this with a lot of pleasure, it's really heartwarming and I know that I've said it quite often already but Jude and Jadon would be fantastic parents. I really hope that one day some lucky children will be able to call them their dads.
As we arrive at the house the positivity we all felt is gone immediately because of the chaos we see. Dark smoke is coming out of the kitchen, Erling and E&E are sitting on a bench, looking quite scared and some firefighters are there. "Oh my god, what happened?", Gry shouts as she sees her house like that. My boyfriend steps towards us and sheepishly says: "We just wanted to make some nice surprise lunch for you. With Norwegian, German, Austrian and English traditional food. And we don't know how but somehow we set the cooker on fire. Okay we maybe forgot about the onions whilst singing." We all are totally shocked. As Alfie wants to start talking Erl adds: "No worries, we and the rest of the kitchen are okay. I immediately extinguished the fire. It's just the cooker and oven and two pans who are gone." Now his dad laughs hysterically and says: "Oh great, it's just the oven and cooker and two pans. Just little damage then, huh? ERLING! YOU ARE 20 AND SO ARE YOUR FRIENDS! YOU CANNOT JUST FORGET ABOUT THE DAMN ONIONS! THE WHOLE HOUSE COULD'VE BURNT DOWN! YOU COULD HAAVE DIED! SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR COULD'VE DIED! HOW CAN YOU BE SO FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE?" Erl and his friends now look really scared and ashamed. Also the screams woke up Norah and as she sees what's going on she starts crying loudly. Jadon, Jude and Sofie immediately try to calm and comfort her but it doesn't work, the tears keep running down her face.
As Alfie wants to keep shouting Gabi takes his arm and holds him back. "Enough, dad. I think they got it. But look, Norah is really scared so please stop screaming. And in the end nobody was hurt and the house is still standing, that's most important. And I'm sure the boys will pay for the damage, aren't you guys?", she says and at the end of her little speech she looks at my boyfriend and his best friends. They still look really ashamed but immediately nod and assure that they will pay for everything. Alfie grunts once and then turns around and walks to a bench in the corner of the garden where he sits down to get calm. Gabi follows him there and talks to him whilst the firefighters confirm Erl's story. Since he's extinguished the fire immediately they didn't have to do much, the only had to get the smoke out of the house. So in the end everything is okay.
I now step to my boyfriend and pull him into a tight hug. He immediately wraps his arms around me as well and starts crying into my jacket. "I... I didn't mean to se-se-set the kitchen on fi-fire. I'm so stupi-hi-hid, I could've hu-hu-hurt someone.", he sobs whilst I stroke through his hair, trying to comfort him. "Shhhh Erl, it's okay. Everyone is fine and the house is still standing. It was a little stupid but no bad damage happened. It won't take long until the kitchen is perfectly fine again. And your dad will calm down, it's just a shock, okay? And I think you should hug your little sister, she's really upset about it and needs her strong big brother.", I say and at times feather kisses on his face. I hold him for a few more minutes until his crying has stopped, then I stroke the tears out of his face and send him to Norah who's sitting on a rock now, Jadon's arms around her, and still cries. My boyfriends talks to her for a moment, then he pulls her close and her hysterical crying gets more quiet every minute until it fully stops.
