Another few days have passed and it was just after 6 am. Linda and Jens had already gone back to bed after Danielle and Kaylee's 3 am feed but something was a little off with both girls. They were feeling sick and at just past 6 am, two very high pitched cries can be heard from their nursery. Agnetha and Björn immediately woke up feeling very concerned for their two babies. It wasn't normal for the babies to be awake at this hour as they normally woke up closer to 8 am for their next feeding.

Björn and Agnetha walked into their nursery and immediately picked up their screaming babies. Both girls felt very hot. Agnetha immediately checked the temperatures of both girls and they were burning up. It was a heartbreaking sight.

"Björn we have to cool the girls down!" Agnetha exclaimed. "They have a fever!"

"I'll go get you a thermometer," Björn exclaimed as he quickly left the room.

"Oh it's ok girls!" Agnetha exclaimed as she held a screaming Kaylee in her arms and tried to pick up Danielle as well. "I know you girls are burning up but Papa will be back soon! I promise!"

The girls were both very clingy towards Agnetha as a result and at this point, poor Aggie couldn't seem to get a break even though it was nearly 6:30 am at this point. Björn immediately came running back into the nursery holding the baby thermometer. Since she was already in Agnetha's arms, Björn checked Kaylee's temperature first. He put the baby thermometer on her forehead and it measured her temperature: 100.4ºF. He did the same with Danielle once Agnetha put Kaylee back down in her bassinet, much to Kaylee's dismay. Agnetha picked up Danielle and Björn put the baby thermometer on her little forehead and the thermometer read: 101.2ºF. So Danielle had a slightly higher fever than Kaylee did.

"This isn't good," Björn muttered. "They both have really high fevers."

"I know," Agnetha replied.

"As much as I would rather stay here and help you take care of the girls today, I can't. You know I'm needed at Mono today and I also need to do some promotional work in regards to Slottsholmen."

"I know. It's not fair, but at the end of the day, you have to do what you have to do to provide for us. And that's all that matters."

"Yeah," Björn sighed. "Maybe Linda can help."

"Yeah probably," Agnetha replied.

"I'll be back though," Björn said. "I promise. You know that very damn well, Anna."

"I know Björn," Agnetha replied quietly and looking down at the floor.

For right now, Björn and Agnetha undressed their girls to their diapers and began fanning them as a way to cool them down and soon enough, they were fast asleep again. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Two hours later, the girls woke up at their usual time, still feeling sick. At this point, the girls were extra clingy towards Agnetha, especially now that Björn had already left for work. It was the girls feeding time and Agnetha knew that she had to get the girls to eat despite their high fevers.

Agnetha took Danielle out of her bassinet first. Both girls were still only in their diapers and even though they did cool down a bit as a result of the fans, at the end of the day, the fans could only do so much. Therefore, the girls were still feeling sick. Agnetha sat in her rocking chair and took her breast out to begin feeding Danielle, but to no avail. She couldn't get the baby to eat, which obviously made her worried like any mother would. She then tried to do the same with Kaylee, but also to no avail. The girls simply weren't having it when it comes to food today and this made Agnetha frustrated. She had tried getting the girls dressed as well, but also to no avail as the girls kept wiggling out of the little dresses that Agnetha tried to dress them in.
