Gaga had never experienced such an intense shift in emotions as when she got home from a successful doctor's appointment to ease her pain and then her daughter greeted her with a positive pregnancy test. She was not sure how to explode this time. Crying? Yelling? Both?

-'...Is this a joke? If this is a joke you're fucking grounded for a MONTH', Maria shook her head and looked down -'I wish it was a fucking joke mom', Gaga held her face and started tearing up, -'Maria...Maria Grazia, oh my God.You're killing me. You're killing me, daughter', -'Mom, please I need you-', -'Sit down...', Gaga peeped at Lukas peeking inside the masterbedroom, she dismissed it with the wave of her hand and stared at her daughter, -'I SAID SIT DOWN. IN FRONT OF ME', Maria didnt dared looking at him in the eye, -'Mommy please-', -'Mommy please?! Please WHAT. You think I wanted this for you? YOU ARE SEVENTEEN. You're a CHILD. Having a CHILD. WHAT HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT HUH?! SAFE SEX! THATS ALL I ASKED FROM YOU...I TRUSTED YOU! And now what. I'm gonna be a grandma and I should just be chill about it?!', Maria sighed deeply and tried holding her mother's hand, Gaga slapped them away, -'Stop it! I'm SO dissapointed in you! I thought you had learned something from me!', -'I'm SORRY!', -'DONT BE FUCKING SORRY MARIA! Now you can't go to Australia! Now you're gonna be pregnant, and eventually you'll have a baby to care for! And I'll be away! Okay?! Is that acceptable for you?! Does that seem like a good idea?!', -'No...', Gaga rubbed her temples and sighed deeply, -'We're going to the doctor's. Come on', -'Ma- ITS 8PM!', -'And I'm Lady Gaga and they'll see me and my daughter right now, COME ON! STOP CRYING!', Lopez tried to approach them as Gaga dragged her daughter away, -'DON'T EVEN!' She yelled at the boy, who immediately ran upstairs, -'You don't have to be such a cunt to him', Gaga texted Lukas and turned on the car from afar with the special key, -'Don't fucking tell me what I can and cannot do. I'm the mother here', Maria looked down at her hands, -'I told you I'm fucking sorry and I'm scared and-', Gaga bit her lip and got in the car, -'MOVE! GET IN!', Maria opened the car door with a shaky hand and sighed deeply, -'What doctor are you-', -'My OB GYN. She's in shift. You're lucky'.

As Gaga was driving, Maria could tell just how angry she was. She was gripping the wheel so hard. -'...What did we talked about fucking safe sex?! For how long have you been-', -'A year! That's nothing!', -'...And look now what happened. FUCKING HELL. I'M GOING ON TOUR IN TWO WEEKS. TWO! And now you drop this on me. You're so irresponsable', -'Do you think I wanted this? Cuz it sure sounds like that', -'NO! FOR FUCKS SAKE HAVE I NEVER TOLD YOU WHAT I WENT THROUGH??', -'Time and time again', Gaga frowned and looked at her daughter for a sec before slapping her, -'Now it's not the time to seem witty, Maria Grazia', -'FUCKING HELL HERE YOU GO AGAIN SLAPPING ME! YOURE CRAZY!', -'Now I'm the crazy one, always. I'm always the fucking unstable one right?', -'I didnt say it. It was you'.

Mrs. Leslie was looking through some papers, -'I remember when I delivered you, sweetie' she smiled at Maria, who looked at her with a pair of green huge terrified eyes, -'...And now we're here huh? Just like mom', Gaga shot a death glare at the woman, who knew had just screwed up, -'Yes, Leslie. Now...how can we be sure she's pregnant', -'We need to ask her some questions...when was the last time you had sex Maria?', the girl looked at her mother and pouted, -'Last night', -'Right. And youre very sexually active?', -'Yeah. Monogamous relationship', -'Good. No birth control?', Maria nodded, -'Maybe I missed a pill, I'm not sure', -'Okay youre not sure', Maria shook her head, -'Symptoms?', -'I was feeling unwell for a few days. And then I just decided to took a random test and shit happened', Gaga was looking down. She felt like a failure. -'Okay, let's do a blood test and an ultrasound, are we good with that?', Maria looked at her mother who nodded immediately.

After an hour and several tests, Leslie chuckled, -'Look here guys', Gaga breathed in deeply, thinking this woman was about to show her her grandchild, -'...What the hell am I supposed to be looking at?' Maria asked with a weirded-out look, -'Nothing! It's...empty. The tests came out negative, you're not pregnant', Gaga erupted in tears and held her face. Pure relief.
