Two weeks after they returned from Japan decided Agnetha and Björn to move in together and also tell their children, who didn't knew yet, that they were again couple. They had also invited Benny and Frida, though Frida already knew.

"Are you ready with the lunch?" Björn entered the kitchen and hugged Agnetha from behind.

"Almost. Can you open the door when Benny and Frida arrive?" She turned her head around and kissed him.

"Sure min kärlek." In that second rung the doorbell and Björn went to open it.

"Björn, what are you doing here?" Benny was confused when he saw Björn in Agnetha's house because she had invited him and he had no idea Björn would also be there. "This is either very good news or very bad news." He joked.

"Come in and you'll find out soon."

15 minutes later were Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Frida all four sitting at the table. They had 'parked' the children at Björn's parents so they were alone with Benny and Frida.

"So, what's going on? I'm asking, because I know there's something going on." Benny started the conversation with a question that he wanted to ask since Björn had opened him the door.

"Well, we realized, probably a bit late, but not too late, that we are supposed to be together so we talked with our lawyers so they stop the divorcing process and we plan on moving again together in as soon as we found the perfecto house because we want something new."

Nobody said anything. Frida knew already and was according to that not surprised. "You knew it?"

"I knew what?"

"That they are back together, right?" Benny looked at his wife.

"Possible." Was everything Frida answered. She continued after a few seconds of awkward silence "Fine, Aggie told me the day we went back from Japan."

"It's so long already?" Benny was surprised.

"Yeas, since the night of the..." Björn replied.

"Please not." It made Agnetha nauseous when she just thought about what happened. She suddenly felt the immense urge to throw up and stood up and ran to the bathroom.

"Where is she going?" Björn, Benny and Frida followed her confused with their gazes.

"I don't know but I better look after her." Björn stood up and followed Agnetha to the bathroom. The door was locked but he could hear her throwing up. "Darling? Are you fine? Can I come in?" He knocked at the door.

Nothing happened.

"Anna? Please open the door."

After another minute opened Agnetha the door. She was sitting on the floor. Her face was completely pale. Björn knelt down next to her and hugged her.

Out of nothing to Björn started Agnetha crying. "Hey, sweetie, everything will be fine, I promise."

"Are you sure?" Agnetha's voice sounded desperate and afraid.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Please, never leave me. Whatever happens. I need you." She hid her face in his neck.

"Why should I leave you? What is wrong min kärlek?" 

Agnetha didn't answer.

"Listen darling" Björn pushed her a bit away to be able to look at her. "I will never leave you! I've made my mistakes and learned from them. I will stay by your side forever and whatever happens, I will protect and support you." He wiped her tears away. "Understood?"

Agnetha nodded.

"Good, now let's get of this cold floor or we will get sick."


An hour later were Agnetha and Frida in the kitchen baking a cake while Björn and Benny were sitting in the living room talking.

"Benny?" Björn started.

"Yes. What's goin on? You seem so tense."

"I want to propose to Agnetha." Björn let the bomb explode. "I know we are still legally married but it just doesn't feels like that. I want to show her how much I love her and it would just feel like a new start if you understand what I mean."

"That's a good idea. Do you already have  a ring?"

"Yes, I bought one a week ago." Björn took out a small box and opened it to show Benny the elegant ring he had bought. It had many small stones and one big in the middle.

"I'm sure she love is. When are you planning to propose?"

"After dinner. We planned on going out and invite you and Frida. Will you accept it?"

"Yes, but are you sure you want us with you?"

"I am. I need moral support. Do you think I can do that alone? I'm way to nervous." Björn seemed already very nervous.

"Fine."
