The Next Morning
Gaga's POV
Today I've decided Avery and I are going to have a girls day, just the two of us. Like it used to be when she was younger. Sometimes I still can't believe she's 14, it's amazing how fast time passes by. One minute you're changing their diaper's, and the next.... they're going off to highschool.
I check to see if Avery is still sleeping, and thankfully she is. She's always been a heavy sleeper. When I see that she's still asleep, I decide to call Robert. I dial his number and after 3 rings he answers.
R- "Hello?"
G- "Um, Robert?"
R- "Yes, this is he. Who's this?"
G- "It's S-Stefani"
R- "Oh wow. Stefani. I didn't think you'd be the first to make contact."
G- "Let's make this quick Robert, what do you want?"
R- "I want to get to know her."
G- "Her? As in my daughter?"
R- "She's my daughter too."
G- "No she's not, she may be your blood, but you've never wanted anything to do with her. You left me the second you found out I was pregnant. Why the sudden interest?"
R- "I've been feeling guilty, I have two other children. Two boys.
G- "Well I honestly don't think it's a good idea." She's never needed you, Taylor's been her father for these past few years. She doesn't need you now."
R- "I don't care if she's never needed me, I want custody of her and I will win."
G- "Excuse me?!"
R- "Look, Stef you're not a fit parent. You're traveling all of the time, you have alcohol and drug problems. Not good influences for her is it? She's better off without you. See you in court."
I hang the phone up, tears streaming down my face. How can he do this? The only constant in my life, has been my baby. She's the one person who can always make me happy without even trying. I wipe my tears, I can't let Avery wake up and see me like this. I realize I'm going to have to tell Avery about this later and I'm not looking forward to it.
