Warning pregnancy

Summary You’re at one of the lowest points of your life but one day, you run into a nice lady, but unknowingly to you, she changes your whole world

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Meeting Amanda had come at the most unexpected moment.

You were in a state when she first met you, having broken up with your ex fiancé a few days prior.

You’d walked in on him with another woman in bed and he confessed to having an affair for months.

Despite the fact it was him cheating, it was him that left, leaving you to care for your one your old daughter, and your future baby that lay bundled in your stomach.

So, it was definitely safe to say you were a state when Amanda first saw you.

You’d found a small flat for you and your daughter, Ava, to move into that was in St Albans, and it just so happened that Amanda was also new to the area.

So when, Amanda found out someone else was also new, she knocked on your door with some homemade cookies.

“This is so sweet of you, thank you.” You said, fumbling on your words due to the thought of how pretty she was. “I’m Y/N by the way.”

“Amanda.”

“Would you like a drink, Amanda?” You asked, walking round to the kettle.

“That would be great, thank you.”

You both made your way to the living room with your drinks.

It was weird, you’d only met Amanda five minutes ago, but it felt like you’d known her a lot longer.

“So what made you move here?” Amanda asked, taking a sip from her coffee.

“I found my fiance cheating on me. He said he’d been having an affair for over five months. I decided to leave town after that so I came here, I don’t know why I chose here exactly.” You explained

“Oh, I’m so sorry.” Amanda said, resting hand on your shoulder, rubbing it gently.

“Why did you move here?”

“I play football and moved to arsenal.” Amanda revealed casually

“Wow, that’s big, they’re a big team, well done.”

“Yeah, it’s good there, I’m happy there. So, any family here?” Amanda intrigued, looking around to see any hints as to another life living with you but everything around was just boxes.

As if on cue, a coo and babble was heard over the baby monitor.

“She’s just woken up. I’ll go get her to answer your question.” You smiled, jumping up to grab Ava from her room. “Hi bubba. Amanda, this is my daughter, Ava.”

“Aww, she’s cute. Hi Ava.” Amanda cooed, Ava waving at her before resting her on your chest.

You sat Ava on the floor, grabbing a few of her toys from a box and setting them in front of her. That would keep her entertained whilst you spoke to Amanda.

“How old is she?”

“She turned one last month.” You responded, watching Ava play with her toys.

“Sweet. Is she your only child?”

“For now… in six months time that will change.” You began, Amanda’s face having a confused look on it. “I’m also three months pregnant. My fiancé and I always wanted a big family and so we started trying a few months ago and I ended up pregnant but unbeknownst to me, he was cheating the whole time.”

“Oh my god. I’m so sorry, Y/N.”

You wiped your tears away before looking up to smile at Amanda, a very weak smile at that but still.

“I’ll find a new life here. That’s the promise I made myself when I moved in.” You told her and she nodded.

“I’d love to be apart of that new life. Anyway, I best get going. It’s been lovely getting to know you. Can I have your number so we can arrange another get together. I’d love to see you again.” Amanda said, reaching for her phone.

You of course gave her your number, quickly arranging another time when you were both free.

Amanda left soon after, leaving you with a massive smile on your face.

It had been four months since the first meeting with Amanda.

Since, you’d become the best of friends and you may have started falling for her.

You were constantly at each others flats, going out for the day, you were like a small family.

She went with for your scans and appointments, everything that your ex fiancé should have been doing.

You couldn’t help but fall for her, but she would never like you back.

I mean, you’re a single mother with a toddler and was set to give birth in two months time. She wouldn’t want to date you.

But boy were you wrong though.

One afternoon, you were laying around watching a film whilst Ava napped when you heard a knock at the door.

You opened it to see Amanda stood there with a big bouquet of flowers.

“Y/N, the second I met you, I knew I liked you. All along when we’ve been friends, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would have been like if we were more than friends. I think I like you Y/N, more than just friends. And I understand if you don’t want to have a partner in your life just yet but—” Amanda rambled but you couldn’t help but just kiss her.

Your lips move slowly over hers, the kiss full of warmth and passion.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” Amanda asked as she pulled away from the kiss.

You nodded before hesitating. “Yes, but Mandy, my kids are…”

“…your whole world. They’re mine too. You and the kids are my family, and I’d love to be apart of your family if you’d let me.”

“Ava loves you so I already know what her answer would be and I would want nothing more than for you to be apart of our family.”

“I love you.” Amanda announced

“I love you too.”

It had been a long day.

After ten hours in labour, your second daughter entered the world.

Amanda stayed by your side the entire time, holding your hand and helping you through your contractions.

“Who’s cutting the cord?” The nurse asked as you looked down at your baby girl.

“Mandy. You’re her mummy in my eyes. You cut it.” You told her, tears welling in Amanda’s eyes.

The nurse took your daughter away soon after, cleaning her up and checking her over.

When she was handed back over to you, you gestured for Amanda to take her.
