Glad You Called (Bradga)

II

What is her name?

Stefani would have preferred not to answer this question, but there was no way around it and she had to be honest with him.

Rosanna Joanne Allison ... Germanotta

As the words fell from her lips, he realized what she had just confirmed.

She is- she is yours?

Her head moved minimally, yet he saw the slight nod.

Wow, I really missed something.

He casually placed her in her crib, which was in the living room. Gently he covered her with a pink blanket, so the baby would not get cold.

Thank you! I didn't know what else to do, she just wouldn't stop.

I don't want to impose, but if you want to shower or sleep. I can wait here for so long. I know that you probably were not able to do something during that. Think back when I called you and you helped me with Lea. I was a mess.

You would wait? I don't want to keep you, you've been such a big help and-

I offered, it's okay. Go get some rest if you're going to trust me with the little one for that long.

You know that I do.

There was silence for a moment because no one knew what to say.

Thank you.

A small whisper before she went up the stairs to shower. Bradley sat down on the sofa in the meantime, letting his gaze roam the room. Not much had changed, except for a few baby things scattered around the room. Memories came flooding back, taking him back to a time, full of joy. The day they first met, when she got the role for the movie, their first day of shooting, writing songs, their first kiss, the first time they said the three words, the first time they made love, the first breakdown, her cramps and pain, all her tears ...
All of a sudden everything he had tried to suppress about her the last months was back. Suddenly the smell was back, her smell, the smile, just her. She was back, out of a sudden silence she jumped back into his life, only now she had a child, a child of her own with someone else. For a brief moment he had the thought that perhaps she had adopted the baby, but as he looked closer at the little creature he saw the resemblance to her. The eyebrows, the lips, the hair, even the mole on her face was the same. The baby clearly had her genes. It was a blow to his heart, he could not deny that, but he had to accept it. The baby cooed a little in her sleep, which is why he slid closer to the bed.

Hey little lady.

With his index finger, he slowly stroked her soft cheek.

You look just as adorable as your mama. Speaking of which, I think a coffee would do her good right now after you kept her up so long.

He started a video call with his and her cell phones, placing her phone in the bed so he could watch her in the kitchen. The ingredients for a coffee were quickly found, and in no time the smell of coffee was in the air. She stood leaning against the door frame watching him. It was cute how he was watching her baby via cell phone and lovingly making coffee at the same time.

Who would have thought that Bradley Cooper would be standing in the kitchen watching little Rosi with his cell phone.

Rosi.

He smiled.

It's a cute name. Did you pick it out?

Actually, it was Nat's idea. I was thinking about Sue.
