Lies, Lies, Lies

-'Is this the day you go to that court or something?' joe asked while he prepared his grandchildren some breakfast, -'Yes, it's not really court though it's more like...like to make this restraining order completely official in front of the law', Joe nodded, -'And where's Mark?'? -'Hes already there', -'Great, well...here's the breakfast, I hope they like them', -'Dad! Stuffed pancakes? That looks amazing!'.

-'Bye mommy' Gianluca kissed his mom and hopped into his school, Noa's kindergarten teacher was waiting for her at the student drop off, -'Have a good day baby girl I love you', she kissed her daughter as well and made sure she was safe with her teacher.
Education with Noa had been very hard, kids were getting progressively meaner to her and Mark and Gaga had talked about moving her to a special needs school because this program was obviously not working for her.

Gaga looked at herself in the court's bathroom mirror, her black, knee length dress was classy and beautiful yet not too boring, her make up was bold and she wore the gold Zanottis she used the night she won her Emmy couple of months back. She smiled, and breathed in for confidence, -'Its all gonna be okay, we got this' she mumbled into the mirror before walking out and heading to the assigned courtroom.

She found Mark sitting outside of it, tapping his foot anxiously, -'STEFANI!' He waved, Gaga walked to him and kissed him, -'What's up? Why aren't we inside?', -'They delayed the audience thingy, said Liz was in too much of a delicate condition to be under such stress', Gaga frowned, -'What condition? She's just pregnant!', -'Well that's what these people told me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I just got a hold of it', Gaga sighed deeply, -'The court will send us a letter telling us when it's gonna be rescheduled', Gaga nodded and looked down, -'And what do we do now?', -'I don't know, do you have to work today?', Gaga thought for a second, -'I have rehearsals later, but that's at like 5pm....and it's 9am now do you want some breakfast?', Mark nodded and held her hand, -'Hey, don't let this get you down, we will resolve this', Gaga nodded and kissed him gently.

Gaga looked up from her coffee and salmon bagel, -'Baby, I've been thinking about pulling Noa from that school she's in', Mark frowned deeply, -'I thought we had talked about this', -'Listen, I know I said i wanted her to be there so Gianluca and her would be in the same school but...the kids are so mean, and she's only 5, she barely understands baby. I don't think that's fair. And you see her trying to like defend herself and it's just added stress for me. The teachers don't do anything, they barely know how to fucking communicate, I think it's time to bring her to-', Gaga's phone rang, -'Speak of the devil' she chuckled, seeing Ms Claire's (Noas teacher) on her screen, Mark sighed deeply, -'What's wrong this time?'.
Gaga opened the call. Children were screaming, she recognised the words of her baby girl screaming, -'Claire?!' She called, a bit too loud, -'They took her implants and FLUSHED THEM' the teacher said between tears.
It was never ending. Drama drama drama. But when drama involved her children directly, she became specially protective and angry.
