Our teammates | Amanda Ilestedt
Before the international break, you and your girlfriend, Amanda, hadn't seen each other for just under two months.
You both play for the Swedish National Team but you played for Hammarby whereas Amanda played for Arsenal.
Over the international break, you and Amanda finally got to see each other again.
You felt at home when you with Amanda. You were in your happy place. You finally wore a real smile on your face.
You both played in the matches against Switzerland and Spain in the nations league.
After the unfortunate losses, you and Amanda had to say goodbye to each other.
It was an emotional moment.
You were both used to it, being far from each other, but it was hard. You both knew that when you started dating.
You returned to Sweden, to your normal life.
Waking up, going to training, FaceTiming Amanda at night, and then going to sleep.
It's what your day always consisted of.
Until that changed just a few days after your return from international break.
You currently had no upcoming games due to the winter break, but everyone was to still come to training so you're prepared after the break.
Whilst you were at training, your manager took you aside and took you into his office to talk to you.
And that's why you were currently sat inside of the Emirates stadium in an Arsenal shirt, a shirt you'd soon be playing in.
Your old manager had explained to you during the meeting that Arsenal had put in a record breaking bid for you, a bid that Hammarby accepted.
You were now waiting inside the stadium waiting to watch Arsenal vs Chelsea.
The day prior, you had arrived at the stadium to sign and confirm your new contract.
You hadn't told Amanda you had signed, you were planning on surprising her today at the match.
It had only been a few days yet you felt like you hadn't seen her in weeks.
You couldn't wait to hold her again, to kiss her.
————————
The match had gone in arsenals favour.
With a 4-1 win over Chelsea, you got to experience the atmosphere from a winning emirates stadium.
The fans chanted from kickoff until the final whistle.
It was safe to say that you couldn't wait to play in front of them.
As the team did their lap of the stadium, you caught Stina's eye and a smile appeared on her face.
You watched her run over to Amanda, pointing at wear you sat.
You had decided to sit amongst the fans, front row so you could access the pitch easily when Amanda saw you.
And it's a good job you chose to do that, because the next minute, Amanda was flinging herself over the barrier and clinging onto you.
"Hi, min kärlek." You whispered in her ear as you continued to hug her.
"What are you doing here? You should be training, in Sweden." Amanda asked, confused, as you pressed light kisses on her face.
"I am training. I'm learning all my teammates chants. What's McCabe's one again? We've got McCabe, Katie McCabe..." You tell her and the confusion on her face expands.
"Teammates? Your teammates? Kärlek, do you mean my teammates?" Amanda questioned and rests a hand on your cheeks, rubbing her thumb gently.
"No, I definitely mean mine. Baby, I'm moving to arsenal. I signed my contract yesterday." You revealed and once again, Amanda jumped onto you, tears welling in her eyes.
"This is incredible, Y/N. We can finally be together."
"I know, babe. I can't wait for our new adventure together." You said and put her down, leaning in to place your lips on hers, receiving a loud cheer from your new teammates.
"I love you so much." She told you after you pulled apart.
"I love you too."
"Come onto the pitch, I'll introduce you to our teammates."

Kim: You look pale. Are you sick?
Amanda: I've been nauseous for a couple of days.
Lia: Maybe you have food poisoning.
Amanda: Don't think so. I've been having mood changes and food cravings as well. There is only one explanation for this.
Steph: And that would be what, exactly?
Amanda: I can no longer deny it.
Katie: Mandy, you're scaring us. What's going on?
Amanda: I am with a child.
Leah: You are what?
Amanda: I am pregnant.

Amanda Ilestedt x Reader
Summary: Your girlfriend visits you in London
Tumblr media
The sun shone through the blinds directly onto Amanda's face, making it look like she was glowing.
She looked like a goddess, lying asleep in your bed with no care in the world.
With her in Paris and you in London, you rarely got to see each other in person. Both of your schedules were packed for most of the year. Amanda was always on the pitch, always with a ball while you always had a camera around your neck, snapping pictures of the men's and women's teams for Arsenal.
Your work kept you separated but on long weekends or national holidays, you were always together. Most of them, it meant that you flew out to Paris where the two of you would hit all the touristy romantic spots before curling up in Amanda's bed and watching a generic rom-com as you traded kisses.
This was one of the rare times she came to London.
It looked good on her, the English weather. She fit in well here, bundled up in scarves and a long coat with a silly hat on her head.
You smiled as she shifted in her sleep, scrunching up her nose as if she could feel the sun on her.
Absentmindedly, you reached back to grab at the camera you kept handy on your bedside table. It was nothing like your professional camera that got placed in its case as soon as you were finished with it (it was also stupidly expensive and you didn't want to buy a new one after spending so much on the one you currently had) and was a polaroid rather than a digital.
You snapped a picture.
Amanda groaned, turning more fully into the pillow as your camera spat out the picture. "It's too early."
Her voice was heavy with sleep and she cracked open her eyes to look at you.
"It's nearly noon," You replied.
"Too early," She said again," Especially, for you to be taking pictures." She reached out for your camera.
You didn't usually let people touch your camera. You were protective over all of them and got antsy when they were in somebody's else's grip.
But, with Amanda, you didn't mind.
You let her fiddle with it for a bit as you picked up the polaroid you had snapped and inspected it.
You smiled.
"Is that going on your mirror?" Amanda asked. She sat up in bed and nestled closer to you, pulling it down to properly look.
You glanced at your mirror. Everyone who was anyone in your life ended up as a polaroid along the edges of your mirror. Your mother. Your father. Your first family pet. The Arsenal girls were on there as were many of your friends.
But the most pictures on your mirror belonged to your girlfriend.
Very few people got more than one solo shot of themselves displayed but Amanda wasn't like everybody else.
She was your girlfriend, the girl you wanted to spend your entire life with.
A new picture of her appeared on your mirror every time you saw her.
Candids littered the border.
Amanda on a walk, at dinner, lazing around on the sofa. It didn't matter what she was doing, you would take a picture of her doing the most mundane of things if she let you.
"Where else would you go?" You teased, stretching and rising from bed. You slipped this picture between one of her sunbathing on the beach and one of you kissing her cheek with fireworks in the background.
"Well...I was hoping here."
You turned around, frowning. "What do you mean? You're already here."
"No." She shook her head and approached you, her hands finding home on your waist. "I mean permanently."
"I...I don't understand."
"Arsenal made me an offer," Amanda said.
"Arsenal made you an offer," You said, smiling as you reached up to cradle her cheeks, closing the distance between you both with your lips. "Are you going to take it?"
"I am."

Our teammates - part 2 | Amanda Ilstedt
As requested, here's part 2!
It was safe to say that you were loving your life at Arsenal.
You had settled down quickly there.
Everyone was welcoming and you could tell this was going to be your home for a very long time, if not forever.
The thing you loved most about being at Arsenal, was the fact that you got to share your life with Amanda.
Of course, you always had shared your life with Amanda but it was always over the phone.
Here though, it was everyday in real life.
You got to wake up with her in your home. You got to make dinner with her, even though most of the time you'd get distracted and end up just hugging her, but that's not the point.
You were just in love with your life at the moment.
You debuted for Arsenal after the winter break, playing against Watford.
Over the couple of weeks leading up to your debut, you had got to know your teammates which helped during the game.
You worked well with the other defenders and during the match, you made some vital tackles.
You thought the game couldn't get any better, until Amanda scored a goal in the 86'.
You went running to her, jumping on her back as everyone else crowded round, congratulating her.
What everyone didn't know, was that the goal could've been Amanda's last goal for a while.
In secret, you and Amanda had been discussing about starting a family.
Over the years, you'd both expressed your want for children but due to the distance between you, you were never in the right circumstances to try.
But now you were, and you took advantage of that.
During the time off over Christmas, you visited fertility clinics and they helped you try for a baby.
It was chosen that Amanda would carry your baby.
After the day of the final egg transfer, you laid in bed with Amanda and imagined what life could be like in a year's time.
You knew it wouldn't be an easy journey, you knew they'd be ups and downs.
But when Amanda awoke suddenly in the early hours of the morning in February, running to the bathroom, you knew that maybe you got lucky and it had worked first time.
And the test she took later on that day confirmed it.
You were both sat on the bathroom floor, tears rolling down your faces as you stared at the test in your hand.
Amanda was pregnant, you were having a baby.
————————
Of course, you waited a while in telling people.
Since the final egg transfer had been six weeks ago, you knew Amanda was about six weeks.
Once she had gotten to 10 weeks, you both made the decision to tell your families.
Both families were overjoyed for you both, and excited to get another family member joining the family.
Over the weeks though, you had told Jonas that Amanda had come down with some virus and therefore couldn't play.
Everyone seemed to take the explanation and didn't question it any further, except for the odd 'how is she?' From teammates on some days.
Once Amanda had developed a small bump, you figured it was time to tell your teammates.
You had first told Jonas and the medical staff.
They all congratulated you and Jonas explained that he would include the announcement in the meeting they were supposed to have that day.
                   ————————
Jonas had rounded everyone up into the meeting room.
For the first time in weeks, you had turned up with Amanda.
Due to Amanda having a 'virus', she had been kept at home, not being able to go to training.
You both found spare seats next to each other and sat down.
Alessia was on your left and Amanda was on your right.
"Is Mandy okay? She looks a bit pale." Alessia asked you quickly before Jonas began.
"Yeah, she's still not 100 perfect right." You replied, sending her a grateful smile because you were thankful for her caring manor.
"Okay. Morning everyone. Welcome back." Jonas said and began with the presentation. "Before we have the opposition goalkeeper result, we also have something that is not football related but it is going to affect us but for a really really happy reason."
With a click of a button, a picture of you kissing Amanda's small bump appeared on the screen along with a strip of the scan pictures.
Everyone started cheering and clapping for you and Amanda, congratulating you on the pregnancy.
"You knocked her up then, Y/N?" Katie asked, her thick Irish accent filling the room.
"Something like that." You laughed and took Amanda's hand in yours.
"Are you having three?" Instead of Katie asking, it was Caitlin this time.
"No, just the one. Yeah, so I've been feeling sick but for other reasons than normal." Amanda explained to everyone and you rubbed your thumb over her hand.
"It's been so hard to not tell the truth." You admitted and some more cheers and laughter filled the room.
"Yeah, best of luck to you both and now of course, we're going to give all the best support during the whole process and then welcoming both you, Amanda, and the little one back to us." Jonas said, before pausing and the slide changing to the actual presentation. "So it's the opposition goalkeeper report as well. I know I'm sorry, we had to fit it in somewhere."
Once more, laughter filled the room.
Once the laughter had died down, everyone came to hug you both.
"You're both incredible liars. I genuinely thought Amanda had a virus." Beth told you both as she pulled away from the hug.
The next person to bring, more like tackled, you into a hug was Alessia.
Over the past months, you had formed a nice sisterly relationship with the blonde striker.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me." She said, clearly in a joking manner, and gently punched your shoulder.
"Less, we didn't tell anyone. We only told our families a few days ago. I'm just so glad that this went the way we were hoping it to. We thought the team would be angry because we're both new at Arsenal, but everyone's been more than supportive." You explained, looking around the room at all your teammates who you were lucky to call your family now.
"You're so happy, aren't you?" Alessia questioned, smiling at the genuine smile that rested on your face.
"I couldn't be happier."
