15th November 1978 
"Good morning sweetheart." It was Fridas 33th birthday and Benny had decided to do something very special because she was pregnant and it was their first birthday they would spend together in marriage. 
"Hmm" Frida turned to the other side still half asleep. 
"How about pancakes and fresh orange juice for breakfast?" He stroke a strand of her out of her face so he could see her face. 
"With cucumber slices?" She seemed to be more awake once Benny said the word 'breakfast'.  
He smiled. "Does Frinny wants that?" He hugged her from behind and placed his hands on her bump forming them in the shape of a heart. 
Suddenly Lotta burst into the room taking a picture of the surprised couple. "Happy Birthday, Mama!" 
"Thank you sweetie." Frida opened her arms so Lotta could join them. 
"Are you practicing to become a paparazzi?" Benny looked suspiciously at his stepdaughter. 
"No" Lotta shook her head and laughed. "You just looked so cute and I wanted to capture the moment." 
"What did I do to deserve you?" Frida smiled at her daughter. 
"You had sex with my father." Lotta replied in a completely serious tone. 
"When did you grew up so much?" Frida hugged her daughter tighter. 
"I don't know." 
"I let you girls alone and make breakfast." Benny stood up after he kissed Frida on the cheek." 
Frida and Lotta just layed there in each others arms enjoying the moment. 

"What does you want to do today?" Benny was washing the breakfast dishes while Frida was sitting in the living room watching TV. 
"Honestly?" 
"Yes" 
"Being pregnant is exhausting. I just want to stay at home and knit stuff for our baby."  
"You can knit?" Benny was very surprised because he didn't knew Frida knitted sometimes. 
"I do and I want to do some stuff for our baby. I've already bought much wool." 
"I'm sure Frinny will love it. Another theme, do you want to go out for dinner?" Benny wanted to take her out on a date because he knew they wouldn't be able to do much couple stuff as soon as they had a child. 
"Only if I can choose the restaurant." 
"Sure minsting." Benny hugged her from behind and started kissing her. 
"Stop it." Frida giggled. 
"No, Ms Andersson." 
"You taste good Andersson." 
Soon were both lying on top of each other and doing their thing. 

Three hours later realized Frida after two hours of knitting that she didn't had enough white wool so she decided to drive to the city center to get more wool. "Benny?" 
"Yes darling? Is everything fine?" Benny was in the basement working on some melodies. 
"Everything fine, I just need more white wool. I'll be back in an hour or so." 
"Alright take care." He gave Frida a kiss and she left. 

Half an hour later left Frida her car to go to the wool shop.
