23. condoms

"Mummy, what's this?" Hollie asked, picking up a small, silver, square shaped package from off the floor of Amanda's bedroom. Amanda was making the bed and when she looked at what her youngest daughter was holding, Amanda blushed.

Hollie opened the package and pulled out a condom and repeated, "what's this, Mummy?"

"You don't need to know at your age right now," Amanda replied and she took the condom and the wrapper from Hollie's hands, tossing it into the trash in her bathroom.

"I wanna know what it is, Mummy," Hollie insisted. She bounced on the bed that Amanda was making and she picked up another unused condom. "Here's another one."

Amanda blushed when she looked up and saw Hollie holding another condom. She took it from Hollie's hands and put it in her nightstand where she kept the condoms that she and Simon hadn't used yet.

Luckily, Lexi was over at a friend's house for the day and it was just Amanda and Hollie at home. Lexi would've told Hollie that it was a condom their mother and Simon hadn't used the night before when they were celebrating their five month anniversary. Lexi knew what protection was but she didn't know what it looked like at all except for the birth control pill that Amanda took every morning.

Amanda sat down on the bed beside Hollie and Hollie climbed into her mother's lap. Amanda cuddled Hollie for a minute and then said, "the thing that you had is something that you shouldn't know what it is until you're at least Lexi's age but I'll explain it to you. Simon and I have been doing something and that something is what makes babies so we've been using the thing that you picked up to prevent us from having a baby."

"Is it like a ballon? And what do you and Simon do, Mummy, that makes babies?" Hollie asked, looking up at Amanda.

"We do a special thing that's like bouncing on the bed and we do it naked with each other. I've told you that before and it sort of is like a ballon but it prevents me from having a baby so it collects the thing that helps make babies when Simon and so bounce on the bed, Hollie," Amnda tried to explain and tried not to blush as she explained what sex and condoms were to a six year old. Amanda got Hollie to get up off her lap and she started to continue making the bed.

"How often do you and Simon bounce on your bed or his bed?" Hollie asked innocently. Amanda's cheeks became red and she looked down to so Hollie wouldn't see her smile.

"Very often because we do it after every date we go on or we'll do it the morning after a date or for celebrating a milestone, like dating for five months," Amanda replied. She couldn't stop the smile and she grinned at her daughter.

"What's so funny?" Hollie demanded. She put her hands on her hips, making her look bed much like Amanda.

Amanda laughed and replied, "never change when you get older, Hollie."

hen Simon returned from X Factor auditions later in the week and it was the first time that Simon and Amanda had been alone at night, she told him that Hollie had found their condoms and asked what they were.

Simon laughed and asked Amanda to tell him what she explained them as and what Hollie asked they did that would need them. Amanda explained it and Simon laughed harder. He pulled Amanda close to him and she welcomed the embrace.

"Hollie makes me laugh," Simon said and placed a kiss on the top of Amanda's head. "She's just like you, love."

"So I'm now love and not darling anymore?" Amanda questioned, smirking a little bit.

"Yes. We've said that we love each other and I love you, Amanda, so now I'm going to call you love. Remember I used to do it before we started dating whenever we flirted with each other?" Simon replied and then asked a question.

"Of course I remember that! We used to flirt so much before we started dating and now we're five months as a couple," Amanda responded. She snuggled deeper into Simon's embrace and put her head onto his chest.

"Did you think that we were going to be a couple for five months when we began our relationship, Amanda?" Simon asked and he kissed her lips, tilting his head down so he could kiss them.

"Yes, I did because I know that we are going to last for a long time, even when we're both stressed," Amanda replied, kissing him back. "I love you, Simon."

"I love you too," Simon responded. "Like when June always comes around because I'm the most stressed then?"

"Yes, especially then. I'll just find ways to de-stress you and I already know one way," Amanda replied, taking off her pyjama shirt, showing off that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"God, you do know one was for me to de-stress and it's making love to you. I'm tired though tonight. Can we just cuddle naked and make love in the morning?" Simon said, his eyes becoming wider when they fell on Amanda's bare breasts.

"I don't mind that. We just can't let the kids see us tonight. Thank God Eric's at his nanny's house tonight and she agreed to watch him for you," Amanda replied. Simon took off his shirt and Amanda snaked herself on his body, taking off his pyjama pants and his boxers for him.

"You're tempting me to just take you now, love," Simon said and his hands went to the waist of Amanda's pyjama shorts.

"That's the point, love," Amanda replied, laughing and she let Simon take off her pyjama shorts and knickers which left both of them naked underneath the bed covers.

Simon rolled his eyes and repeated, "I love you, Amanda," and Amanda rolled so she was on her side with her head on Simon's chest.

"I love you too," she replied.
