Ok... so... many of you wanted this story to continue... I'll try my best  😂

A couple months passed, and nothing was the same now. Synni and Signe were still inseparable. If they weren't in their mamas' arms, they needed to be in a rib together, holding their hands or they cried. It was now already December 1979, and the two little girls were already 5 months old. They were two stubborn little ladies to say the least. They were so inseparable that the four friends decided to move in together. It was good for the little ones, and it was also nice for them. It simply made things easier. There was simply one problem though... Signe and Synni were so used to each other and the four ABBA members and all of the kids, they didn't really notice 'the difference'. For them, Agnetha and Frida were both simply 'mama' and Björn and Benny were both their papas. To them they had two mamas, two papas... and lots of siblings...

"It's Christmas!" screamed little Linda. She was already 6 years old. Oh, how fast time flies... "It is," Agnetha agreed. She was excited too. Yesterday, they had a big party and today, they'll just open the presents today. "Presents!" screamed little Christian as he ran into his parents' bedroom. "We need to wait for everyone to wake up, baby..." Agnetha said gently. She didn't want to make her little boy sad. "Now!!!" screamed the little boy. He was having none of it. "And I'm not a baby!" he pouted. His mama didn't understand it, but he was a big boy now. He was two already and he could use the potty!

"It's Christmas!" exclaimed Lotta and Helene as they ran into their parents' bedroom. They were quickly shushed and told to stay quiet. Little Synni and Signe were sound asleep in Frida's arms. Of course, they were both there... the whole house would know if they weren't together. They'd make sure of it. Helene and Lotta took the two youngest kids downstairs while their parents got ready. They each held one but always made sure the little ones saw each other at all times. Otherwise, the unstoppable crying would start.

They opened their gifts, and they were all happy... except Synni and Signe. They weren't happy about their new clothes. The clothes were a shade different, and they couldn't match... What were their parents thinking?! They were their little princesses! Their biggest treasures! They only needed the best! They cried and cried until they saw two more sets of clothing exactly the same. They smiled and cuddled with their mamas. Good. They did good... this time. Let's see how they do with birthday gifts!

In only couple months, ABBA will go on and tour Japan. They decided to cancel the European tour this year and instead do it next year when the littlest ones aren't... well... when they aren't so little...

No one knows what the future will bring for our favourite family... but it sure won't be something ordinary!
