The weeks turned into months and soon June was here. The babies will arrive any day now and everyone was getting excited. Frida's kids have been staying with her and Benny since the beginning of the year and unfortunately their contact with their father greatly lessened. On the other hand, Heléne and Peter's mom was still very involved and while the kids didn't live with her anymore, they still saw her almost daily. Today was a day like any other except it wasn't. It was in the early hours of the morning when Frida was woken by her water breaking. She knew it was time. She slowly woke Benny, not wanting to frighten him. "He," she whispered. "Hej, what time is it?" "Just past two, it's time." Benny was up in a second. "Now?" he questioned. Frida just nodded. He helped her get the things she needed and wrote a note so the kids would know where they were once they woke up. Luckily, they were old enough to stay alone for the night. They were on the way to the hospital in no time.

Just as the day was dawning (and as it was June in Sweden, that was pretty early) a woman woke up to the excruciating pain, the contractions were really beginning to take a tool on her. Agnetha knew she couldn't wait any longer and woke Björn. "Hej," he smiled gently at her. "It's time!" she said with gritted teeth, closing her eyes until the pain subdued. "Ok, let's go!" they packed a couple things and got the kids ready. Björn went to the kitchen, where the phone was. He wanted to call Frida and Benny to watch the kids as they agreed, but soon he noticed their call – Frida was also about to give birth and they were already on the way to the hospital. Well, their kids will have to do for the day, no way they could take them to hospital. They got into the car and Björn got the kids and rand Frida and Benny's house doorbell. "Yes," came Hans's voice, he was confused why his parents weren't home. "It's just me, open up Hans," came Björn's replay. "Uncle Björn?" he asked. "Your parents are in the hospital and I'm taking Anna there now, the babies are about to come. So please look after your siblings and these two," he said, passing him a sleeping Christian and Linda gave held his hand. "See you soon Hans, thank you." Hans just stood there for a while, watching Björn drive a screaming Agnetha away.
