The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself

The appointment

A couple days have passed, and it was now already the 19th of April. Björn and Agnetha were enjoying their time at home, these past couple days have been amazing. Björn stretched his arms and yawned, turning to Agnetha's side of the bed but she wasn't there. He soon heard her in the bathroom. He closed his eyes for a moment.

The morning sickness was always horrendous for her, it always hit her hard. He walked into the bathroom and kneeled down beside her, holding her hair as she continued to throw up. When she was finally done, he held her in his arms, rocking her letting her cry. She calmed down eventually, and they made their way down to the kitchen. It was almost 9.00 AM and Björn was surprised that Linda was still sleeping. Agnetha was still too confused and dizzy from the morning sickness to function properly, so he got her to sit on the couch and try to relax for a little bit. He made his way back into the kitchen brewed himself some coffee, made tea for Agnetha and prepared some breakfast for the both of them. He gave Agnetha her cup of tea and climbed the stairs to Linda's bedroom. He walked to her bed, "wake up little one, we have to get ready for today." Linda began to stir and slowly opened her big blue eyes. He picked her up from her crib and carried her down the stairs.

They ate breakfast chitchatting and laughing the whole while through while Agnetha breastfed Linda . Even Agnetha managed to eat a little bit, although to be fair, she was barely keeping the little she ate down. It was nearing 11.00 AM and it was almost the time to leave the house. It was Agnetha's first doctor's visit since she found out she was pregnant again and she was incredibly nervous. She went back up to their bedroom showered, got dressed and ready for the appointment. Meanwhile, Björn washed the dishes and got ready himself before prepping baby Linda for the journey to Agnetha's parents.

It was almost 12.00 PM when the Ulvaeus left their home. It took 20 minutes to Agnetha's parents they were staying in the capital for a couple of weeks. After they left Linda at her mormor's house they started driving towards the hospital, Agnetha growing mor anxious by the minute. They arrived just in time for her appointment scheduled for 1.30 PM. They were invited to the privet room where Agnetha would be examined and her doctor, Dr. Erika Petersson, soon joined them. She proceeded to do the normal check up and everything seemed to be just right. She did the ultrasound at last also listening to the hearth of their little one. Both Agnetha and Björn were mesmerized by the beautiful sound of their baby's heartbeat and could barely hold it together.

Dr. Petersson watched them for a little bit and smiled, it really was unusual. Dr. Petersson told them that everything was fine, and that Agnetha was probably already 14 weeks pregnant. They were shellshocked but happy non the less. Their little one will be joining them sooner then they anticipated.

They drove back home, picking up Linda on the way and letting he parents in on this new development. By the time they arrived home it was almost 7.00 PM. Björn prepared a quick dinner for him and his wife, while she breastfed Linda and put her to sleep. They ate dinner and enjoyed a romantic, this time non-alcoholic evening before heading up the stairs to do the things that lovers do.
