I sat there holding Anna for as long as I possibly could. She really needed it. She fucking needed it and as I said, this was something that really shouldn't be too hard for her or anyone for that matter to even ask. Because it isn't. It really isn't. After a little while of holding her, Anna stopped crying once more and we turned to each other.
"Anna, you don't have to keep telling the story," I announced as I looked at her face filled with tears and sadness. "I know Tomas hurt you. He hurt you bad. Really bad and I wasn't there to love you and protect you as always."
"I have to, Björn!" Anna exclaimed as she burst into tears once more. "I promised myself that I'd stop torturing myself! But today I just can't! Today was the day I found out!"
"Ok then," I sighed. "You can keep going again but after this, do you promise me you'll stop torturing yourself once and for all?"
"Yes Björn," Anna nodded sadly as she looked down at the ground below her.

Agnetha's POVAfter a long day of relaxing and having fun and enjoying my birthday, Tomas had come home from work at last. By then, I had come up with the nice surprise as a way for me to tell him that I'm pregnant. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out. I'm sure he'll start treating me better especially since I'm pregnant and can't have too much stress. Not to mention that I'm also 41 years old today so it's especially important that I'm not too stressed.
"I'm home!" Tomas announced as he entered the house.
"Hello handsome," I gushed as I went over to him and started showing him some love and affection. "How was your day?"
"The usual," Tomas sighed as he put his briefcase on one of the chairs in the dining area of the kitchen/living room before taking a seat on the couch and turning on the TV. "Same old, same old."
I sat down and decided to join him on watching TV for a while. After all, he's my husband and I want to spend time with him. I want him to love me for once. I'm pregnant with his child for God's sake! Is that something that's too hard to ask?! After a little while of me trying to cuddle up to him and him pushing me away, I decided to tell him my surprise. I got up from the couch and turned the TV off.
"Why did you turn that off?!" Tomas exclaimed angrily as he got up from the couch. "I was in the middle of watching that!"
"Oh...w-w-well, I-I'm sorry Tomas!" I breathed as I immediately began panicking and getting nervous. "I-It's just that I h-had a surprise f-for you!"
"What is it?!" Tomas exclaimed.
"Here," I replied nervously as I handed him the large white shopping bag filled with my surprise.
Tomas put his reading glasses on and took the small white box out of the bag along with the note. He read the note first, which said:
Hello daddy!
I'm your little bundle of joy and I'm really excited to meet you in November when I am born. I know that you and mommy are both gonna love me very much! I can't wait to meet you!
Love,
Baby SonnenfeldThe note pretty much said the exact same things that I wrote in the note telling Björn that I was pregnant with Linda back in the day. However, Tomas didn't look too happy to say the least and gave me an evil look on his face before opening the white box at last. Inside, was the sonogram and the positive pregnancy test. He turned back to me once more and took off his reading glasses. He was now completely enraged.
"AGNETHA!" Tomas exclaimed as his voice thundered with a huge ball of fury in both the sound of his voice and the way he looked right now. "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GET PREGNANT?! YOU'RE A FUCKING WHORE FOR HAVING DONE THAT AND I'LL MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!"
