Two Nordic Women (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 12 - The Rocky Reunion

The ABBA girls were enjoying their newfound worldwide success. Their song went to #1 in several countries, and reached the top 10 on the American charts! They also recorded it in other languages such as German, French, and of course Swedish which they performed in the Melodifestivalen.

But their success came with something Agnetha never anticipated, or even wanted. The girls were in the recording studio, recording some new material for their next album, including some solo LPs.

As they took a break, Agnetha noticed two familiar people in the hallway. It was her parents.

"What are you two doing here?" She asked, confused as to how her parents had access to the studio.

"Your mother and I are back together." Said Ingvar.

"And you came all this way just to tell me that?" Said Agnetha.

"No." Birgit started. "First off, congratulations on your success... Look, we know we were too hard on you when you were younger, and we're very sorry. We want to be part of this."

"I don't believe you are sorry." Said Agnetha. "You only want me back in your life because I'm famous and successful. You never would've wanted me back if I weren't those things."

"That isn't true at all!" Ingvar and Birgit lied.

"You showed me your true colors when I was 14. It's too late. The damage is done. I forgive you both, but you're too toxic to be in my life." Said Agnetha.

"We made a mistake!" Said Ingvar. "Everyone makes mistakes."

"No, you made MORE than a mistake! You made a choice!" Agnetha retorted. "Why should I believe you now, when you showed me so cruelly back then that you didn't accept me?! Mother, I ran out of the house! I was so scared!"

"I didn't know what I was doing! I didn't understand your situation!" Said Birgit.

"My situation?!" Said Agnetha. "MY SITUATION?! What do you mean by 'my situation'?! Because I happen to love someone who is also a girl? Well let me tell you something, I'm very happy in 'my situation', I love Anni-Frid and I've never been so sure of much else. You had your chance to accept us as a couple, but now it's too late. Goodbye."

At that, Agnetha walked away, and never saw her parents again. As she went back into the recording room, Lili noticed Agnetha looking shaken.

"Agnetha, what's wrong?" Asked Lili when she noticed Agnetha was crying. Agnetha felt weak, so Lili held her up to stop her from falling.

"I saw my parents. They were in here." She said.

"Oh no. Are you serious?!" Said Lili. "What did they say?"

"They said they want to be in life, but I know it's because of the money and success we've got now. I pretty much told them to get lost." Agnetha said through her tears.

"Oh, my poor baby!" Said Lili as she hugged Agnetha tight. Anni-Frid came into the recording room, and Agnetha and Lili explained the situation to her. They agreed that they'd done enough recordings for the day and decided to go home to rest.

Now, the girls were living in a beautiful penthouse in Stockholm. It had beautiful white Victorian decor, and all the rooms were a predominately white theme with some color here and there as that's how the girls liked it. They loved white, as it's pure.

Their building, because of the penthouse, and the status of the other people living in that block (such as celebrities and other well-known people) was a security building, and it was also guarded, in addition to the police station being right around the corner, so the girls were safe.

They loved the view, and always counted the blessings of living in Sweden because it wasn't like in America where paparazzi would also follow celebrities around. People knew who they were, but they were able to do everyday things like go to the supermarket, without being bothered by fans, with the occasional request for an autograph, which the girls didn't mind, as their fanbase was mostly families.

Lotta, who was now pregnant and her and George's first child, came to visit frequently. She was so excited about being a mother, and couldn't wait to meet her child!

"I am a little nervous about the pain." She said.

"Oh look, women have been doing that forever." Said Anni-Frid. "You're no different. I'm sure your body will know how to handle it."

"True. And I have been attending some classes, but I don't know if one's really ever ready for the real thing." Said Lotta.

"It'll be worth it, you'll see." Said Agnetha.

Lotta rubbed her belly and smiled, excited about the baby coming very soon.
