Love, Marriage, Pregnancy and Fame

Chapter 1

Today w as a short day for Taylor, they w ere shooting a new action movie and although he wasn’t the lead, he did have a pretty big role. One of the main reasons he chose this part w as so that he could be in New York at the same time his girl w as in tow n and even though he had to w ork through the day they had the night all to themselves. Taylor w as very pleased w ith the fact that he only had to shoot a few scenes today and could go home, Gaga and himw ere renting a small apartment somew here in the low er east side, Gaga said she became bored w ith the luxury she had in every hotel she stayed in and just w anted something more home-like. He w as fine w ith that, the best thing w as that the media knew nothing about it. It w as their secret. But today he w asn’t going straight home like usual, no he w as going to have lunch w ith Joe Germanotta, his girlfriends father to ask him one of the most important thing you can ask a father, the hand of his daughter. Taylor zipped up his leather jacket, said goodbye to some colleagues as he w ent outside, he initially w anted to take a cab, but he w as a little early and w anted to shake off all his nervousness so he decided to w alk, it w asn’t that far anyw ay and had enough time to make it. He had the ‘luxury’ of not being recognized all the time, something his girl couldn’t say she w as haunted by paparazzi everyw here. She said she didn’t really mind, but he knew she did. He w alked steadily trough the streets, his hand buried deep inside his pockets, “it’s really getting cold” he mumbled. As he w as w alking he couldn’t help, but see all these tabloids w ith pictures of his girlfriend, he knew she w as famous, really famous. But it still surprised himif he saw a poster, pictures or even seeing her on TV it w as like a totally different w orld than he knew , their lives together. Taylor finally made it to the restaurant and w ent in via the back, w alking trough the kitchen and into the small office w here he knew he could find Joe. He knocked on the door and opened it. “Hey Taylor, come in son! I need to finish this phone call, w ait a sec please” as he continued talking to his phone, Taylor w aved and nodded as he sat dow n in a chair, it w as not very big but it had everything a office could need, a big w ooden desk w ith a computer and some picture frames on it, a big painting (maybe fromNatali, he w asn’t quite sure) and platinumrecords of “The Fame” hanging on the w all. Joe finished his phone call and apologized “No problem” Taylor said. Joe sat into his chair and looked at him“So, you w anted to talk to me about something?” Taylor sw allow ed, he w as a little intimidated. “Yes, something very important” Joe nodded a little distracted. “Iknow you and Mrs Germanotta are pretty traditional, so I w anted to do the right thing and ask you first sir” Joe w as now looking Taylor in the eye “I w ant to ask your permission to marry your daughter” Joe immediately raised his eyebrow “a little early don’t you think?” Taylor w ho got a boost of confidence said “I just really love her, and I’d be w illing to go trough fire for her, fame or no fame” Joe now started to smile “Iknew w hen you called you w ere going to ask me this and you’re very respectful, thank you” Joe sighed looking at the pictures on his desk of himand his daughter dancing w hen she w as little “you have my permission, you’re a good man” Taylor started to smile from ear to ear “this means a lot, thank you” both man stood up and gave each other a hug. “you picked out a ring yet?” Joe asked. “Not yet, I w as still looking around” Joe grabbed a little box out of his desk draw er “Here give her this ring, it w as my grandmothers, she’ll love it” Taylor opened the little black box and looked at the ring, it w as beautiful. “It’s amazing” he said in aw e. “Thank you!” Joe fell back into his chair “Promise me not to hurt her ok?” Taylor nodded as he put on his jacket again. “I promise sir” carefully placing the little box inside his pocket. “When are you going to ask her?” Taylor zipped up his coat “I don’t know , soon.. When the time is right” “Ofcourse, ofcourse” Joe mumbled “I see you’re going already? Don’t you w ant something to eat or maybe a drink?” Taylor hesitated “I actually just w anna go home, but w e’ll see each other soon” Joe stood up and gave Taylor a firm handshake “ok, don’t be a stranger!” Taylor nodded “I w on’t” and w alked out off the office through the kitchen again and in the cold New York streets. Luckily Joanne’s w as located in a very busy street so finding a cab w asn’t a problem at all. Taylor w aved and there w as one already, he got in. “We’re w e going sir?” the cabdriver said, Taylor gave him a piece of paper w ith the address on it “ah I see, the low er east side” Taylor just nodded, a little distracted, thinking about w hat just happened, I’m is going to marry the love of my life, w ell if she agrees, but he w asn’t w orried about that. Then Taylor heard an all too familiar sound “Could you please turn up the radio?” he asked “No problem” the cabdriver responded. The song ‘Yoü & I’ w as playing. “You like this Lady Gaga?” the driver asked. Taylor grinned “Ilove her” he responded clenching the little black box in his pocket., “he has no idea” Taylor thought. After a not so long drive home, the taxi stopped, Taylor handed the driver some money and got out. He w alked to the porch and got his keys out of his back pocket he tried to open the door, ofcourse it w as stuck again so he slammed his shoulder against it and w ith some violence the door finally opened. He opened their mailbox to see if they had any mail, but they w ere just some flyers nothing important so he closed it again. “I’ll throw those out later” he said to himself as he w alked up the stairs. He heard some muffled music and laughter and as he approached the front door he exactly knew w ho it w as. He put his key into the lock and threw the door open. “Honey i’mhome!” he yelled and let his bag and coat fall on the floor. Gaga w ho w as cooking squealed and put the fire out from the stove before jumping into her boyfriends arms, Taylor kissed her sw eetly and let her dow n on her feet again. “Hey Taylor!” Tara said and w aved, she w as sitting at the dinner table w ith a glass of w ine in her hands. “Hey Tara” Taylor smiled. Gaga had already returned to the stove. “it smells great!” Taylor said hanging up his coat quickly putting the little box into his jeans pocket. “Ihope you like it, my father recommended it” Taylor nodded as he grabbed a beer out of the fridge. “I’msure I’ll love it” as he put the beer to his mouth. “Are you staying for dinner?” Taylor asked Tara. “No, no I’m going to see my momtonight, haven’t seen her in months!” Taylor nodded “Oh that’s nice, have fun” Tara drank the last bit of w ine fromher glass “Yeah, it’ll be aw esome, I think i’m going now ” as she looked on her w atch. “I’m alw ays late!” She quickly grabbed her coat and bag and gave Gaga a kiss on her cheek. “Bye!” “Bye Tara!” as she closed the door behind her. “Are you w earing Chanel again w hile cooking?” Taylor said amused. Gaga turned around w ith a smile “First of all It’s YSL and w hat else w ould Ibe w earing?” Taylor grinned “Nothing w ould w ork for me” Gaga threw a dishtow el at him. “keep dreaming T” she took off her apron and w ent to sit next to Taylor at the table. “It needs to boil for another hour or so” as she took a sip of w ater. “No w hiskey today?” Taylor said “Nah, I’mnot feeling that great and I need to be fit before touring again” Taylor looked dow n “I w ish w e had a little more time together” Gaga nodded “me too”. Taylor w anted to change the subject. “So how w as your day?” He really liked hearing her talk about her day, she w as alw ays so passionate. “It w as great! Not that tiring for once, just a lot of meetings w ith the haus about the new app for ARTPOP, the design and photo shoot etc.” Gaga stood up and sat on his lap. “and how w as yours babe?” as she kissed him gently “It w as aw esome, Ihad to do a scene w ere Ihad to jump off a building, Isaid that I didn’t w ant a stuntman, but w hen I w as up that high I kinda regretted my decision but it w ent really w ell” Gaga giggled “I can’t w ait to see your movie, you’ll look so sexy” ”So how long did you say the food has to cook?” as he started kissing her passionately ”enough time for w hat you w ant to do” she w hispered betw een kisses he picked her up in his arms and escorted her into the bedroom. Gaga and Taylor w ere breathing heavily after their intense lovemaking and w ere now just staring at each other. Gaga’s naked body w as laying on his. “Do you love me” Taylor asked. “Ofcourse Ilove you T” she said. Gaga let herself fall of his body next to himw hile grabbing her part of their blanket. “Ithink I never loved someone else that much as I love you” she said a little embarrassed “Why do you ask?” Taylor didn’t answ er, instead he bend over and grabbed his pants that w ere discarded on the ground. He took a deep breath and w ent inside his pocket grabbing the ring, Gaga didn’t really understand w hat he w as doing she just thought he w as reaching for cigarettes. Taylor turned around holding the little box in his hands, “I w asn’t planning on asking you tonight” Gaga looked at it w ith a puzzled face “What is that?” until she started realizing ”Oh my God..” Taylor opened the box and looked into her confused eyes “Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta w ill you do me the honor of loving you and being proud so to call you my w ife?” Tears w ere streaming dow n Gaga’s face as she looked at the ring and then into Taylor’s eyes “Yeah.. Yes!” she stuttered “I w anna marry you!” she almost screamed and immediately w ent into a hug. She took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. “It’s so beautiful, w ait.. Isn’t this my great-grandmothers ring?” she said shocked. “Yes, I got it from your father” “You w ent to talk to my dad?” Taylor nodded “Yes, ofcourse I needed his permission for his daughters hand” Gaga smiled from ear to ear “i’msure he loved that” she lay her head on his chest, her tears of happiness w ouldn’t stop. “I love you so much” he said holding her hand, w ith now the most beautiful engagement ring on it. “I love you too T” as they both accidentally fell asleep in each others arms. A grow ling stomach w oke up Gaga, she looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. It w as 3 in the morning, she looked at her hand and couldn’t believe w hat just had happened she got engaged! Taylor w as snoring lightly, she gently loosened herself from his grip and put on her beloved Versace robe. She tiptoed into the living room, all the lights w ere still on, the CD stopped playing a while ago. “Oh shit!I forgot to put the fire out” she w hispered as she ran to the stove. Luckily nothing happened, it w as cooking really slow but it w as still ruined. She sighed and put the pan into the sink. Her stomach grow led again. “fine” she said and grabbed a chair, Taylor alays put all the good stuff so high in the cabinets, she could never reach them. She climbed onto the chair and reached for some cookies. But before she knew w hat happened one of the legs of the chair broke, her armgot twisted, she screamed while falling backw ards and hitting her head against the counter top. Everything went black.
