One and the Same

Maria started crying, -'Are you really dad?', -'Yes!', the girl frowned, -'What's your name?', -'Angelo Baker', Maria gasped and cried even harder, that was his dad's name.
Gaga walked out of the bathroom to see her daughter crying, -'What's-', -'It's dad! Dad's calling you!', Gaga sighed deeply and rubbed her temples, -Give me the phone', -'No, I wanna talk to him', Angelo chuckled, -'How are you? I heard you were sick', -'I'm sorry I can't speak I'm a mess', -'Take your time...why doesn't your mom let you talk to me?', -'He says you're gonna disappoint me', -'That's not true princess, I-...hold on', Maria heard rustling in the background, she heard a woman talking and at least five different children, her heart broke a little bit.
He came back.
-'You have more children?', -'Yes...you have six siblings', -'Woah...well I feel special', Angelo giggled, -'You should meet them one-', -'Gaga took the phone from Maria, -'She's not meeting anyone. How dare you give her hopes like this?', -'Mom, please! Please let me talk to him and-', -'Have you told her? Huh? Have you told her what really happened between us, Angelo? You asked me...to abort her. You threatened me. I didn't got a cent from you throughout the pregnancy and when she was born you didn't even came to visit us. You don't even know what she fucking looks like!', Maria stared at her mom and tried to process her words, -'mom is that true?', Gaga nodded, -'Why would I lie to you?'.
Angelo was silent.
-'I still wanna see her' he finally said.
Maria thought for a second, -'Maybe he changed, mamma. I wanna meet him'.
