26. packing

"Amanda, I want to ask you something," Simon began as they laid, cuddling, in bed a week after their six month anniversary.

"What do you want to ask me?" Amanda interrupted, bringing Simon's hand to her exposed stomach. It was a more comfortable position for them to spoon in for Simon's shoulders and for Amanda to stay in Simon's arms.

"Would you and your daughters like to move in with me?" Simon asked. He waited for Amanda's reaction.

"Isn't it a little soon for me, Hollie, and Lexi to move in with you, Simon?" Amanda asked in response. She was hesitating because she had moved in with her late husband when they had been dating for six months and were already engaged at that point and had soon gotten pregnant with their first child, Alexa, or Lexi as she preferred to be called.

"Yes, I want you to move in because I love you and your daughters. I heard them talking to each other about calling me Dad because I've been dating you for six months now but they aren't sure."

"I'll ask the girls what they want. If they want to move in with you or not yet," Amanda replied. "Have you talked to Eric about me and my daughters possibly moving in?"

"I have and he wants you and the girls to move in with us as much as I do," Simon replied. "When will you ask the girls what your answer is going to be?"

"If I didn't have children of my own, I would have said yes in a heartbeat, Simon, but I need their opinions on it before we do anything about us moving in. Will there be enough bedrooms for everyone?" Amanda replied.

"Yes, there are enough bedrooms and there will be a spare bedroom for guests in my house and the guest house," Simon replied. "Maybe we can start thinking about having a baby if the girls say yes to moving in."

"Simon, you do know that if I carry another child, I could die giving birth to them, right?" Amanda asked concerned. Simon's smile dropped a little and he thought for a minute.

"What if there is a loophole to us having a child, love? Like maybe you have to have a vaginal birth because isn't you dying only a risk of having another cesarean?" Simon asked in response.

"I think that could be our loophole but I'm not going to stop taking birth control right now. I'll stop after we've been dating for a year," Amanda replied to the question. She turned around and she kissed her boyfriend softly on the lips.

Amanda asked her daughters if they would like to move into Simon's house and they agreed that it was going to be a good idea because they liked having Simon around. Simon made Amanda so happy and it could easily been seen by the twelve year old and the six year old.

They wanted Amanda to be happy and Simon made her always happy and acting like a love sick teenager, which got laughs from their children. They went out and bought boxes to pack their things into that afternoon.

Simon was going to come over with Eric, and David and Alesha were going to come over with their two children to help pack. Lexi was going to be in charge of watching the children and Alesha was going to help her so Lexi could pack her room.

The knock at the door had Amanda running to the door and it was David and Alesha with their two children, Beatrix and Alesha's daughter, Azura.

Amanda and Alesha hugged and then Amanda hugged David and then Azura.

"Come in! Simon hasn't gotten here yet and he's bringing more boxes with him," Amanda said as Alesha and David and their children came into the house.

"Is he ever late to pick you up for a date?" Alesha asked. "David, do you mind if Amanda and I had a bit of a girly catch up?"

"Gossiping?" David asked his girlfriend in response.

Amanda and Alesha nodded and went upstairs with Beatrix in Alesha's arms.

"Surprisingly no. He's never been late to pick me up instead he's always early!" Amanda replied to Alesha's question as they went into Amanda's bedroom. The bedsheets were still tangled from when Amanda and Simon had made love the night before so Alesha raised her eyebrow at them.

"Having fun last night?" Alesha asked, smirking a little as she sat down on the unmade bed.

"Yes. Simon and I were going rough last night," Amanda replied. "That's why the sheets are like that. They're less messy if we've just been making love because it's less movement."

"Me and David's sheets look like that every morning ever since I could start having sex after giving birth to this one," Alesha said. "He loves taking me roughly and then making love afterwards."

"Simon's the same way. What's the riskiest place you and David have shagged?" Amanda asked, sitting next to Alesha on the bed.

"Oh god. I actually can't remember but I think it was after one of the live shows in May. I think it was my dressing room after semi-final one," Alesha replied and she blushed. "What about you and Simon?"

"My parents house in my old bed from when I was a teenager," Amanda replied. "And apparently, they could still hear us even though that was the quietest I've ever been while making love to Simon. Even Lexi has heard Simon and I being intimate!"

"What has Lexi said about you being sexually active again?" Alesha asked in response. "I can't imagine Azura or Beatrix hearing David and I shagging."

"She just said that she was happy about me being happy with Simon, especially in bed," Amanda said. "We've been saying that we love each other now!"

"You're saying 'I love you' to Simon now? Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Alesha fumed jokingly.

"I've been busy!" Amanda said with mock hurt. "Shall we get to packing?"

"Sure," Alesha replied.
