It was a typical day at the studio, everyone was at one of the offices talking about the final touches for the new album, they had already finished the recording, the only things left were the cover, decide the singles and the publicity.

"We can do a couple of interviews here" Agnetha proposed.

"Yeah, we can definitely do that" Benny agreed.

"Perfect, I'll scheduled five or six interviews with magazines and tv shows" Stig said.

Everyone agreed, Stig went to his office to make some phone calls and set the dates for the interviews.

"I'll be right back, I have to go to the bathroom" Frida said.

Benny knew that it'll took a while to Frida to comeback "Guys I need your help with something" he said with a big smile.

"What is it?" Björn asked very intrigued.

"I want to buy a ring for Frida and do a proposal again" Benny said very excited.

"Benny!!!! That's so sweet" Agnetha exclaimed.

"Aggie, I'm gonna need you help with the ring" Benny told to his friend.

"Sure!!!!" Agnetha said very happy.

"But how? Frida is very clever and maybe she can notice it" Björn said.

"Well honey, you and Benny need to set the crib, and remember that we are going to have the whole weekend to ourselves, so maybe you can do that on Saturday morning and Benny and Frida can babysit our kids, and with that Benny and I can go shop something for the kids and of course buy the ring" Agnetha explained the plan to boys.

"That's a great plan" Benny smiled.

At that very moment Frida came back to the office and they stopped talking, looking very suspicious.

"What?" Frida said raising her eyebrows.

"We were asking Benny if you guys could babysit for us this weekend" Agnetha asked to her friend.

"Of course! We'd love too" Frida smiled

"Thank you, we'll see you on Saturday morning" Björn said.

Everyone went to their respective house to get some rest before the interviews and the promotion of the new record.

Benny and Björn were busy with the crib, while Agnetha and Frida were preparing a bag with Frida and baby's stuff for the time when they had to go to the hospital.

"Are you guys having a hard time with it?" Frida joked.

"In fact we are" Björn said.

They all laughed, and kept doing their things.

"Hey, what's that?" Benny pointed at the bag.

"It's the bag for the hospital" Frida said vey calmly.

"What!? Is the baby coming?" Benny asked frantically.

"Thank you so much, I love it and I love you" Frida said and gave him a kiss, then she went to her friend and hugged them very tight "Thank you guys, I really appreciate it".

After resting for a while it was time to go for the ring, Agnetha looked at Benny and he just nodded his head.

"Hey Aggie, we need to go for somethings for the kids" Benny said to his friend.

"Sure, let's go to the store" Agnetha smiled.

They said goodbye to their respective partners and got in the car, driving first to a jewelry store and then they'll go to the mall, it was a 30-minute drive. When they arrived Benny was so nervous and Agnetha noticed it.

"Hey, whatever you pick she's going to love it" Agnetha put her hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you Aggie, that means a lot" Benny smiled.

"Agnetha, come!" Benny said in a happy tone

"It's beautiful... She's going to love it" Agnetha smiled brightly as she was looking at the ring.

"It is, isn't it?... And it matches with her eyes" Benny smiled.

They paid for it and again got in the car and went to the nearest mall to shop the thing for the kids.

"And when are you going to give it to her" Agnetha asked.

"After our baby has born" Benny said, not taking his eyes off the road, "I hope, we can get married for real now" Benny chuckled.

Agnetha laughed a little "I'm sure you will".

"Small details" Björn chuckled, "Are you nervous?".

"Well, I'm a little bit you know... But I can't wait to meet my little girl" Frida smiled brightly, "Were you nervous"?

"I was terrified" Bjön laughed, "Benny and you are going to be amazing parents redhead... I'm pretty sure about that".

"Hey darling, did you sleep good?" Agneth said picking her daughter up, Linda just nodded and rubbed her eyes trying to wake up.

They unpacked the things and put them in their respective places.

"It's time to go" Björn said "I think Christian is still sleeping, let's go to say goodbye" he said as he took his wife hand. They went to the room were his son was sleeping each one of them gave him a little kiss trying not to wake him up.
