Gaga took a bite of the ripe mango treat and shook her head at Gianluca, -'Why didn't you tell me this before Gianluca?', -'Mommy, its Saturday! My friends just asked me to go there and play!', -'Well I can't take you, I'm gonna be working and daddy can't drive so-', -'Call Scott then!', Gaga frowned, -'Are you yelling at me? Did you just yelled at your own mother?', Gi looked down, his thick and long eyelashes covering his green eyes, -'No', Gaga nodded -'That's what I thought...where are they inviting you again?', -'Lee's house', -'Oh, yeah you've been there before right?', -'Yes...can I go?', -'You told me it was like a sleep over', -'Yes, it's Lee's birthday and his parents built this new pool and it's pretty cool and we wanna try it tomorrow', Gaga glanced at her son. She was so very protective of him she sometimes felt like shit for not giving him the freedoms he deserved. Gianluca was a good boy, he got good grades and was very obedient, plus a damn prodigy with the violin.
Gaga sighed deeply, -'You can go. I'll talk to his mom, I-', -'His mom is so mean to you, mommy', Gaga chuckled, -'Is she? What does she say?', -'I've heard her calling you dumb and stupid and stuff...', Gi looked up at her, -'You're not dumb or stupid mommy! That's not fair!', -'Don't worry your little head about it, if I got a dollar for every person who called me that DAILY, we could buy a whole country...go upstairs and ask your daddy for permission', -'Okay, thank you!' He kissed her quickly and ran upstairs excitedly.
Noa unfortunately wasn't blessed with a lot of friends. Being deaf had been a huge obstacle for her. Her special teachers loved her, as did the kids at piano class but overall, a lot of te kids just pushed her away or were mean by mocking the way she expressed herself.
She didn't showed sadness though, she was a rather bouncy happy little flower, who found solace in her older brother and the house cat. Gaga wasn't too worried about her social skills, she was a total extrovert and she knew that would help her later on.

Gaga kissed her son goodbye, -'Be good, say hi to your friend and his mom on my behalf, and don't do anything dangerous okay? I love you, call me when you wake up tomorrow', she handed Gi a small device, -'You know how to use this', Gianluca nodded and smiled, -'Bye mommy'. And off he went.
-'It's just for the night, Stefani, stop being a dumb overprotective ass'.

Nadir arrived to Gaga's mansion with his trusty laptop full of demos for Gaga's new album.

-'Can I be downstairs and listen?', Mark asked from the bed, Gaga nodded, -'Yes. You need help getting up?', -'Yeah, I'm sorry, I just...am bruised everywhere', -'I know babe. Grab the cane, I'll support you downstairs'.

Nadir shook Mark's hand gently, knowing he was bruised all over, -'You're purple my friend' he joked, Mark chuckled and showed his middle finger -'Fuck off. Lets listen what y'all got".
Her new album was very RnB.
-'I can smell the grammys already' Mark smiled, looking at his woman proudly, Gaga blushed, -'This album and then I'll focus more on my acting career', -'You're about to win an Emmy next week, you have two Golden Globes, I mean-', -'Nadir stop! Hahaha. I will tour this album and then...movies and maybe theatre, who knows. I wanna be an EGOT'.

Noa looked at her mommy trying on a long, green night dress, her hair was done very nicely and her make up glistened, Mark stared in similar awe, -'I hope you win so you get up there and startle everyone with that dress baby, you look amazing', Gaga smiled into the mirror and then looked back at Brandon, -'I'm ready, finally!'.

Gaga was taking off her earring and make up beside Mark who was checking on his emails.
Suddenly, he got a notification from Liz.
Gaga's eyes widened, -'Are you not gonna open it', she raised an eyebrow, Mark sighed, drama. Great. His face went white when he opened the picture she sent him. Gaga stopped what she was doing immediately. -'Is that a fucking sonogram picture, Mark Ronson?'.
