You are always on my mind

Chapter 100

"Finally, it was the moment of truth!"

Stefani was really nervous. Danielle was concerned with her friend, but at the same time she trusted Stefania.

After all the testimones presented here, together with the attitude of Mrs Irina and her lawyer, I order that the custody of the minor Leah Cooper be granted to her father, Mr Bradley Cooper!"

Everyone celebrated. Stefani hugged Danielle and cried with emotion. Bradley hugged Stefania and also with tears in his eyes, said to his friend:

"I have no words to thank you for what you did for me, Stef!"
"There is nothing to thank me! I love all of you, Bradley. That was such a pleasure to bring my little bug to where she belongs "
"Silence, please!" Judge Klarkson demanded.

Everybody got silently immediately.

"This decision is irrevacable, considering that the mother is a terrible example for a child, as she takes drugs in her daughter's presence. Not to mention she has no condition to raise a child in a healthy environment. Therefore, due to drug use in the presence of a child, for abandonment of an incapable person in the moments when a child in its early childhood needs it's mother the most, for attempted coercion and for total disregard for a child, I sentence Mrs irina to 12 years of imprisonment in closed regime!"

The top model had an outburst of rage and screamed angrily:

"I always said I didn't want children! But this plague came to end my life! And not even to bring me any gain from it... and now, I'm going to jail because of that girl..."
"Whash your disgusting mouth when you talk about my daughter you bastard!" Gaga couldn't contain herself anymore!
"Order in court!" Judge Klarkson demanded.

Everybody got silent and the magistrate continued:

"As for the lawyer, Mr Dixon, for threatening a child with killing her dad and his fiancee if she chose to stay with her dad and sympathize with the atrocities commited bu her mother, I sentence him to 12 years in prison in closed regime! Comply! Register!" And banged the gavel ending the session.

Irina and Dixon left the courtroom straight to jail. Danielle was dying to talk to her girlfriend and as soon as the judge said goodbye to the italian, congratulating her brilliant work, the blonde approached,  hugging and kissing the brunette passionately.

"I'm so proud of you, my love!" The blue-eyed girl said softly.
"Are you?" Stefania asked melting and smiling in love.
"Of course I am! I knew you would bring Leah to Bradley and Stef, but you exceeded all the expectations!"

The expression in the personal trainer's eyes showed how amazed she was

The almond-eyed girl smiled in love.

"Congratulations my princess!"
"Grazie Mille bambina!" (Thank you very much, bambina!)

After all the formalities, they finally left the forum. Bradley and Stefani with Leah on the actor's lap, couldn't contain their obvious happiness.

"Guys, what do you think about going out for lunch? I think we deserve a perfect moment in family, don't you?" Gaga invited.

Leah said instantly:

"I'm not hungry, mom Stef."

The singer thought it weird...

"No? How come, baby, it's 2pm..."

Stefania started to laugh...

"Stef, I think this is my fault..."
"Your fault? What do you mean?"

Stefania explained her friend that Leah asked for ice creams and chocolates during the session...

"Hahahahahah, now I understand..."
"I'm sorry Stef, but she was scared and..."
"Hey, it's okay.  Don't worry. This is not the end of the world." The singer said amused.
"Mom Stef,  I promise I won't do that anymore, I'm sorry... please don't be angry at aunt Stef. "

The pop star kneeled down and stated:

"Leah, my love. There is nothing to be sorry about, angel. Everyone do something like that once in life. And it's okay. Of course, this can't become a routine, because it will make you sick, but sometimes, there isn't a problem at all. Okay?" Stefani explained her little girl with all the love she had in her heart.
"Okay mom. Aren't you mad at me? Or at aunt Stef?"
"Of course not, baby! It's okay. That was a really attipical day, we were all under some stress, little one. To be honest, I think aunt Stef was really smart allowing you to have all those ice creams and chocolates." The pop star whispered that in her daughter's ear, pretending it was a secret between the both of them, making Leah smile happily.

Everybody smiled and they headed towards their cars.

"Where do you want to go, guys?" Danielle asked.
"What about Stefania choose? After all, this is all happening thanks to her " Bradley said thankful.
"I totaly agree!" Gaga said.
"Guys..."
"No. Stop it." Bradley said. "You're our hero!"
"Wow, I'm flattered. But I must remind you that I don't know anything around here, don't you forget that. How can I choose a place?" The italian attorney said amused.
"Oh, come on! We trust you!" Bradley, Gaga and Danielle said at the same time, in an attempt to make the italian attorney secure to choose a place.
"What about we go to grandfather Joe's restaurant? I love to go eat there! 🥰" Leah said excited. "Not to mention that grandfather Joe always gives me a lot of candies. It is so yummi."

Everyone laughed hard after hearing Leah's statement.

"That's a great idea, principessa!" (Princess.) Stefania agreed genuinely  happy.

The almond-eyed girl loved the menu at Joe's restaurant.

"Are you sure Stefania? We can go anywhere." Stefani and Bradley said.
"No! I'm a hundred percent sure!" The brunette said softly.
"Stef, we don't have to go there just because Leah asked to. She probably won't eat anuthing, so, you can choose anywhere. Bradley warned his friend.
"No, I want to go there for sure!" The almond-eyed girl said softly.
"Okay. Let's go then.

When they got there, Joe Germanotta came to see them getting really happy to know what had happened. The old man spoiled Leah  so much and as soon as he saw the little girl, he took her in his arms and walked inside, to take anything his daughter-in-law wanted.

After a very pleasant lunch, they said their goodbyes to Joe and went home. Gaga invited Danielle  and Stefania to go with them, but the italian was exhausted.  So they promised to see each other at night, at the singer's house.

Arriving home, the blue-eyed girl already had a bouquet of flowers and chocolates waiting for her girlfriend.

"Love, this is to show you how much I love you and I am proud of you!" Danielle said all softly.
"Wow bambina. This is so beautiful! But not as beautiful as you, amore mio!"
"I'm glad you liked it! Now come here, I need my hot and really competent girlfriend right now! You made me so horny in that court! 🥵🔥"
