I Won't Let You Go

Chapter 37

Several weeks had passed and Agnetha was now nearly 8 months pregnant. She had a very lovely 70th birthday celebration and with the help of the children, grandchildren, Görel, Benny, Frida, Mona, and Ronny, Björn was able to throw a really lovely surprise birthday party for Agnetha despite the pandemic. And Agnetha couldn't feel anymore grateful, even as her hormones raged and her mood swings were still all over the place. Like they did the previous year, a group of young fans, this time with more people involved, made a special 20 minute long birthday video for her and Agnetha was touched by it all.

Of course, it wasn't the only birthday message she had received. She received so many other videos, letters, and gifts as well as gifts for the babies in honor of her 70th birthday and Agnetha's happy tears overflowed as a result. In fact, Agnetha was so emotional and so sentimental by the amount of love that was given to her that she not only regained her confidence and her self love by 100%, but she couldn't help but express her gratitude by handwriting a personal letter to her fans, which she had sent to Görel and was posted on ABBA's official fanpages on every social media handle: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The note itself read:

Many thanks to all of you who sent presents, flowers, videos, letters, messages and greetings for my 70th birthday. All the best and stay well!

Love,
Agnetha Fältskog

Those were very typical and sweet things for her to say and the fans couldn't be anymore happier and prouder by the fact that she had been moved by all the gifts that they had sent to her for her birthday. Those weren't the only things that happened on her birthday though. For starters, she and Björn finally managed to have sex and they felt good afterwards, that's for sure. And then from there, Björn and the grandchildren surprised Agnetha with breakfast in bed before a small family gathering and a nice birthday cake for the rest of the day. As for the two babies, they both kicked around a lot as a way of saying, "Happy Birthday Mama."

And now that Agnetha's birthday was out of the way, now it was time for Agnetha and the family to prepare for Björn's birthday since their two birthdays were nearly three weeks apart. She wanted to do something very special for him, while at the same time, keeping in mind that she is heavily pregnant with twin girls and was on bedrest.

However, when it comes to Björn's birthday, Agnetha was having none of it. She was so determined to do something special for him that she was willing to break her bedrest in order to do so. Linda and Christian helped guide Agnetha when it comes to celebrating Björn's birthday without breaking Agnetha's bedrest even more and not doing anything that would increase their chances of getting the virus since Agnetha and Björn are at the age where their immune systems are becoming weaker, plus Agnetha's pregnancy makes this more difficult due to her age. As a result, this totally ruled out Agnetha's idea of taking Björn out for brunch like she did last year.

Ultimately, Agnetha managed to find a nice way to celebrate Björn's 75th birthday whilst doing something small and simple and she couldn't be anymore excited about it. So as she laid in her bed while Björn was getting ready, she cradled her huge baby bump and rubbed her belly as she said many sweet nothings to her unborn babies.

"Your Papa is celebrating his birthday today, aren't you girls excited?" Agnetha said as she gently rubbed her bump and spoke to her babies. "Speaking of Papa, he can't wait to meet you and neither can I. You girls are so loved already that words can't even describe. And I can't wait until Papa comes out of the shower, so you both can say Happy Birthday to him. He'll appreciate it very much."

Just as Agnetha finished her last sentence, the birthday boy was finished getting ready at last. Björn grinned as he came out of the bathroom and saw Agnetha gently rubbing her bump and talking to the babies as the babies themselves kicked around. He walked over to Agnetha and smiled, having heard everything she said.
