I Won't Let You Go

Chapter 35

February 2020

Several weeks had passed since Agnetha's kidnapping and since then, Agnetha has been home from the hospital. She and the babies were safe and sound but Agnetha has since been placed on bedrest much to her dismay. Being on bedrest reminded her of the last few weeks of her pregnancy with Christian, after she was taken to the hospital after nearly losing him due to the stress that she had endured while filming The Movie and recording The Album. She even remembered being forced to sit on a lounge chair while recording Thank You for the Music during that time as well.

Björn, on the other hand, had travelled to London the week before for some more promotion regarding Mamma Mia: The Party and it's expansion into the O2 Arena. During this time, he also read the tale of Alfonso the Goat and talked about the importance of incorporating music into a young child's life as a part of a segment for the BBC. He also made sure that Agnetha and the babies were safe and weren't up to no good by FaceTiming Agnetha and the family every night while he was in London.

Today was Valentine's Day and since Agnetha was on bedrest, Björn and the rest of the family came up with a very sweet and loving way for him and Agnetha to celebrate this special day while she was on bedrest. They decided to have a very special and very romantic dinner date in their kitchen and with the help of Linda, Jens, Christian, and Isabelle and the grandchildren setting up the table and the sparkling water. Normally it would be champagne but due to Agnetha's advanced pregnancy, they decided to stick with sparkling water instead.

Before Linda and Jens went off on their dinner, along with Christian and Isabelle, and Tilda and her boyfriend, they blindfolded Agnetha and helped her get to the kitchen where they removed her blindfold at last and when she saw Björn standing there grinning, Agnetha was shocked to say the least. She couldn't quite comprehend it and she looked at Björn and then at the kids again.

"I-I c-can't believe this! I-is t-t-this for r-real now?!" Agnetha asked as her eyes filled with happy tears and she looked around at everyone.

"Yes Anna," Björn chuckled gently as he walked over to her and helped her sit down. "Totally real."

"I don't know what to say," Agnetha replied emotionally before turning over to the kids and Tilda. Esther and Signe had decided to have a sleepover with their friends and Nike was with her other grandparents. "You guys were helping him the entire time, weren't you?!"

"Yes we were Mama," Linda lightly chuckled as the others did the same but nodded in agreement.

"Now you and Papa can enjoy your date while staying safe and out of harm's way," Christian smiled as he grabbed his and Isabelle's coats.

"Thank you guys," Björn said as the kids began to leave for their respective dates. "We really appreciate it."

"Anything for you and Mormor," Tilda replied as she leaned in and gave her Morfar a kiss before doing the same with Agnetha.

Soon afterwards, Agnetha and Björn were left alone on their little date. Björn had cooked some spaghetti and meatballs and the two chatted happily about life and about their two unborn twin girls as romantic music played in the background. The romantic songs ranged from Wrap Your Arms Around Me to the original Roberta Flack version of Killing Me Softly to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Björn had always admired Whitney Houston's vocals on that song and especially the way she had hit those high notes on that song, especially since Agnetha's own vocals were just as high and powerful as Whitney's.

But for now, they tried to guess the names of their twin girls, especially after the hint that Tilda had given them while Agnetha was still in the hospital. As a result, they both knew that one of their babies will start with a K.
