"Frida, just go to sleep you need to rest." Agnetha said running her hand through Frida's hair. The truth was, Agnetha was scared. They had run tests and examined her, but it turns out they can't do much for her. She needs to rest and talk to someone, no matter who it is.

"Okay," She said. "Peter, will you hold my hand?"

"Sure," He said walking over and taking her hand. "But you have to go to sleep." Soon after, Frida fell asleep. "Agnetha?" Peter whispered.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Do you think she will be okay?"

"Well, Peter. Yes. I think she will, but she needs rest."

"Okay," he smiled. "Thanks."

—1 hour later—

There was a knock on the door, and then a doctor came in. "Miss Faltskog," he greeted Agnetha. "See, we have some ... news."

Agnetha was shaking and afraid. The doctor spoke again, "We think she fell over because she was shocked or stressed. We need to get her to talk in the next 24 hours. The other thing is, her babies are okay, but she needs to take it really easy or she could loose them."

"Thank you doctor." Agnetha said blankly.

"If there is anything she wants or needs, the best thing to do is give it to her, for now."

"Okay." And with that the doctor left.

—2 hours later—

Everyone was sitting around the room, Peter still holding Frida's hand. Frida breathed a little more, moved, and woke up. She looked around the room, and saw Agnetha, her best friend. Helene, her stepdaughter which she loved but wished she would love Frida back. Peter, the stepson she loved, who comforted her. Benny wasn't there. Where's Benny? She asked herself. Then she remembered that he was in Sweden and wouldn't be home for a couple more days. Benny, Frida thought. My Benny isn't here with me right now. Am I okay? Is Benny okay? "Agnetha?"

"Yes, Frida," She said a little more hopeful.

"Is Benny okay? Can you get him on the phone?"

"Ummmm," She said. "What's your house number?"

Soon Agnetha had the phone to her ear and heard it ring.
Hello?
Agnetha whispered in the phone for two minutes, explaining the situation.
Okay well let me talk to her, she might feel better.
Agnetha handed the phone over to Frida.
"Benny?"
Frida, baby. How are you feeling?
"One second," She said and then covered up the phone. "Could I talk to him alone please?"

"Sure," they all said. Then the three left outside the door.
How are you feeling? Benny asked.
"Well, my head hurts and I miss you so much."
I miss you too dear. I really do. How are the kids?
"Helene hates me."
Really? I thought Peter would hate you! Does... Peter hate you?
"No, Peter loves me. The first night he was cold, so he asked if I had an extra blanket. I didn't do I invited him to sleep with me. He hasn't slept in his bed since."
WHAT!?
"Oh Benny, why are you freaking out?"
You have been sleeping in the same bed as my son?
"Benny you are taking this the wrong way," Frida laughed. "Calm down. He is fine. We have a routine. We go to bed, we wake up before the other two, and we make breakfast. It's not what YOU'RE thinking!"
Okay, he laughed. How are my two babies? There was a pause on Frida's end of the phone.
"I honestly don't know."
