Positive| Amanda Holden/ BGT ✓

chapter three

Amanda had called Simon so her nerves relaxed slightly. She still had to tell him that she was pregnant and the baby was his. Simon would be arriving in London in two weeks and and sometime afterwards, he would come over to Amanda's house.

As the day Simon would arrive in London drew closer, Amanda was becoming more and more nervous. Hollie had noticed it and had asked Amanda why she was so nervous. Amanda had to explain that she never told Simon that she was pregnant and was going to tell him when he came over.

Amanda received a text from Simon saying he was now in London and when could he and Eric come over. Amanda replied asking him if the second day was good so he and Eric could have time to get over the jet lag. Simon said that that day would be fun but Eric might still be tired.

Much too soon, the date when Simon and Eric would come over crept up on Amanda. Amanda's nerves were skyrocketing over the fact she had to tell Simon she was pregnant. Amanda had the ultrasound check-in the day before and the child she was carrying was still undersize for it's development. She had chosen to get more pictures of the baby and she had wrapped them up with one of the positive pregnancy tests in a box she was going to give to Simon.

He would be at Amanda's house in only a few minutes. Her nerves grew larger as the minutes ticked away.

Too quickly, Amanda heard the knock at the front door. She opened the door and saw Simon standing with his son, Eric, before her.

"Hi," Simon said.

"Hello," Amanda responded. She knelt down to Eric's height and said, "hi, Eric."

"Aunty Mandy! I missed you!" Eric said as he engulfed Amanda in a hug.

"I missed you too, Eric. How about you and your daddy come in? Hollie is waiting for you, Eric," Amanda said.

Simon and Eric stepped into the house and Eric ran through the house, looking for Holly.

"She's in her room, Eric," Amanda whispered to the little boy running around to search of Amanda's daughter. Eric tore off up the stairs with the knowledge that Holly was in her room, playing with Barbies.

Simon laughed as Eric ran upstairs to find Holly.

"Can you tell they're friends?" Simon joked, laughing still.

"They're so cute together," Amanda commented. "I wonder what will happen with their relationship when they both are teenagers. Will they become boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"It would be nice to see them as a couple," Simon added. "I have something I want to ask you, Amanda."

"Do you want to go into the kitchen to talk then?" Amanda asked him, already walking in the direction of the kitchen.

Simon sat down at the table and Amanda put a kettle of water on the stovetop to boil and then got out two mugs and some bags of tea.

"What did you want to ask me, Simon?" Amanda asked as she put a tea bag in each mug and then sat down in the seat where Hollie normally sat in to eat.

Simon gulped and then said, "well, I don't know how to phrase this, but Amanda, will you be my girlfriend? I've had a crush on you since we started working together even though you bad been married at the time.

"And that crush deepened after I broke up with Lauren. So Amanda, will you please be my girlfriend?" Simon confessed.

Amanda got up from her seat as she heard the mettle whistling and poured the hot water into the mugs.

"Why didn't you tell me before, Simon?" Amanda said as she sat back down in her seat and passed Simon's mug to him.

"I don't know. I was scared of how you would react. Will you please give me the honor of being your boyfriend, Amanda?" Simon replied.

Amanda thought about it for a minute before responding, "yes. I will be your girlfriend, Simon!"

Simon grinned and said, "when should we go on our first official date then, darling?"

"How about tomorrow? We could find someone to look after the kids for us," Amanda responded.

"Would they be willing to have Eric and Hollie overnight?" Simon said with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

"Simon!" Amanda chastised jokingly, lightly hitting Simon's arm.

Simon grinned at her cheekily and took a sip of his tea.

"Simon, I want to tell you something," Amanda began.

"What do you want to tell me, darling?" Simon asked, worry crossing his face and wrinkling his forehead.

"I'll go get it," Amanda said. She left Simon in the kitchen and went up the stairs. She heard Eric and Hollie playing with Hollie's large Barbie collection, some of it from when Amanda was a child.

Amanda entered her bedroom and became even more nervous than she was before. She couldn't show any nervousness or Simon would know something was wrong. Amanda took the white box containing the ultrasound pictures and the positive pregnancy test off her bed. She returned back downstairs and released a deep breath before she entered the kitchen again.

"This is what I wanted to tell you about, Simon," Amanda said as she sat back down with the box. She pushed the white box towards Simon and he took it in his hands.

"What is it, Amanda?" Simon asked.

"Open it and you'll find out," Amanda spoke nervously, though she didn't sound nervous.

Simon took the white wrapping paper off the box, crumbled up the wrapping parts and set it off to the side of the box.

Before he opened the box, Simon asked, "What is the gift for? Is this what you want to tell me, Amanda?"

Amanda could only know her head for she couldn't speak from nervousness.

Simon lifted the lid of the box off and his face went slack with surprise. He lifted the positive pregnancy test out of the box and saw it was positive for a pregnancy. His mouth dropped open with surprise. Simon then took out the other pregnancy test Amanda had put in and set both of the tests to the side of the box. He then took the ultrasound pictures out, one by one.

Simon got to the last picture in the box and gasped. Amanda had written you're going to be a father on it in white marker.

"Please tell me that this is a joke that you're pregnant, Amanda," Simon pleaded.

"No, Simon. It's not a joke. I'm really pregnant and the baby is your child. Surprise?" Amanda responded weakly.

A/N: Hey guys! So we have gotten part of Simon's reaction. How do you think the rest of his reaction will go? Are you mad at me for leaving you readers on a cliff hanger?

It's going to be happening more so I can insert some suspense into the fanfic so a lot of important events in chapters will be cliff hangers until the results are concluded in the next. Next chapter will be the rest of Simon's reaction and the aftermath of it. I'll see you next chapter, guys! Oh, by the way, check out DWalliams and tell them I sent you to check out their writing!

Bye until next chapter!
