You are always on my mind

Chapter 92

"I know! That's why I love her more than my limits!"

The days passed by and it was the hearing eve. Stefani was too nervous, restless, afraid of what Irina's lawyers would do to Leah during the time they had with the girl.

"Honey, calm down." Bradley tried to say,  but the singer said:
"How can I calm down, Bradley? You know that viper very well, better than me, and you know what she's capable of  for money..."
"Yes, I really do. ut I trust Stefania, baby. She will be there with our little girl. She will protect Leah while we won't be able to be with her."
"I know, baby... I trust Stef with all my heart and soul. I know she will take a very good care of our little girl. It's just... I hate to know my little princess will be forced to face all of this because of a mother of shit, who only cares about money!"
"I know that, my love. But tomorrow we'll put a final point to this. Leah will be able to come home with us and finally get all the love she deserves." Bradley said hopeful.
"Yes, she will! By the way, babe... I want to show you something..."
"You do? What is it?" The actor asked cheered up.
"It's a surprise for you, but mostly for Leah..."
"Really? What is it, love?"
"Come with me." The pop star said happily, already pulling her boyfriend by the hand.

When they arrived in front of Leah's room, Gaga asked Bradley to close his eyes. The blue-eyed man did what he was told and when Stefani told him to open it up, he got speechless.

"Oh my God, Stef! This is... you are... Leah will..." The actor could barely form a sentence, so he just held his girlfriend and kissed her with love.

When they broke the kiss, the green-eyed girl asked:

"Did you like it, honey?"
"Are you kidding me, my love? I loved it! And so will Leah, baby!"

Stefani smiled huge.

"Do you think she's gonna like it?"
"Of course she will!"
"Well, if she doesn't, we can change everything. "
"Honey, she will love it! This bedroom has got amazing!
But... when did you..."
"Hahahahahaa. The arquitect came every day after you left, love. I wanted to surprise you."
"And you succeeded for sure!"
"I hope she likes it, honey."
"I'm pretty sure she will. Thank you my love."
"For what, babe?"
"For loving my daughter as yours. Leah is a really needy love child. And you lavish love on her."
"Don't thank me, love. It's really easy to love Leah! And she's the daughter every mom wants to have. Leah is a God's gift to me!"
"No, baby. You are the God's gift to us! I love you, Stef!"
"I love you more, Bradley. Both of you!"
"Now, let's see a film to distract. Stefania said she would come to talk to us later tonight. I think it will be after Danielle come back home."
"Okay. Let's see what we see."

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Love, are you nervous about tomorrow?"
"Absolutely not, bambina! I know this is my first case in America, and it's not any case, but we have enough clues and proofs that will bring Leah home with Bradley and Stef for Good!" The hazel-eyed girl said confidently.
"I'm so proud of you, my love!"
"Are you? 🥰😊"
"Of course I am, baby!"
"Grazie, bella!"
"What time will we be at Stef?" The blonde asked.
"Mmm, I didn't agree on a time, amore mio. I said I'd come later, so I could wait for you..."
"Great! Let's eat something and leave. Is it okay for you, baby? Because if I do know Stef well, she might be freaking out."
"No problem at all, bambina. Actually, I would sugest the same thing."

----------------------------------------------------------------

1:30h later, the couple git at Stefani's house.

"Hello, how are you?" Danielle asked smiling while hugging her best friend really tight.
"Jesus, D, I'm so nervous!"
"But you shouldn't bella! I promise you that our little bug will be here with us tomorrow!" Stefania said when she got right after her gf and heard the singer saying she was nervous.
"I know sweetie. I really trust you! But I can't control my nerves... I think this is my anxiety screaming."
"Everything is gonna be okay, I swear!" The attorney said confidently.
"Okay. "
"Where is Bradley?"
"He's taking a shower, but he's coming. Come on in, guys!"
"Did I hear beautiful women speaking my name?" Bradley asked amused.

Everyone laughed and the actor hugged stef and Dani greetting them and kissing his girlfriend.

Stef explained and guided their friends about the hearing in the next day. Gaga started to calm down a little when the italian showed that there was no way they could lose the cause and promised to take care of the little one while she (Gaga) and Bradley couldn't do that.

So, the hazel-eyed girl took advantage of the absurd chemistey she had with her fiancee and asked with her eyes if Danielle could take the singer out of there for a few minutes. And the blonde did what she was silently being asked to.

"Stef sweetie, what do you think about we prepare some drinks to relax?"
"Oh, I'd love that too, my love!" Bradley reinforced, realizing that Stefania wanted to speak alone with him.
"Oh, me too, bella!"
"And bring some snacks too, baby, if this won't bother you, please."
"It's not a bother at all, love!"
"Do you need some help?" The lawyer pretended normalcy by offering.
"No, baby. You can stay here telling Bradley what to do and I will help Stef, okay?
"Are you sure bambina?"
"A hundred percent!"
"Okay. Call us if you need help then."
"We will " The blue-eyed girl said pecking the brunette's lips and leaving with the pop star.
"Is there any problem, Stef?"
"Not exactly." just to clarify a little thing..."
"Okay.  What is it?"
"Is that when I told you a few days ago about the hearing, Stef was very nervous, do you remember?"
"Yes. She is still very nervous, to be honest. She's afraid of what they can do with Leah..."
"Yeah, I know. She's so ready to be the mom that our little bug deserves and needs! So that day I told her that I would have more time with little Leah than Irina's lawyers, but I did it just to calm her down. In reality we'll have the same time... I'm sorry if I acted badly, but I couldn't handle to see her like this..."
"I know, Stef. And I really appreciate that. Actually, I have no words to thank you for everything you're doing for us."
"Don't thank me. You don't have to, my friend."
"Not even a hundred lives would be enough to say thank you, Stef."
"It's a pleasure! I love you all, that's why I say, you have nothing to thank me. Now, let's go after them, before stefani became suspicious."
"Okay. Let's go!"
"And Bradley. Don't worry. Leah is coming home tomorrow with you and stef. I mean it!"
"I know, dear! I totaly trust you!"
