Love, Marriage, Pregnancy and Fame

Chapter 2

The first thing she felt w as a throbbing pain in her head, very disoriented she opened one eye, immediately she felt a hand holding hers, the bright light made it difficult to see. “T-taylor?” she said “Oh thank God you’re aw ake!” as he almost crushed her hand “What the fuck happened” she w hispered starting to realize she w as in some kind of a hospital room. “Wait a second babe! I’m gonna call the doctor” Taylor said excited as he jumped from his chair and disappeared through the door “my head hurts” she moaned as she raised her armto feel her forehead and cringed fromthe pain, she looked at her arm, there w as a big w hite cast on it “oh shit no!” her eyes finally started to adjust to the bright hospital room as she saw Taylor coming through the door follow ed by a doctor, he w as a big 50- something year old man w ith kind eyes “Hello my name is doctor Johnson, how are you feeling Miss Germanotta?” as she tried to sit up her dizziness overtook her and she fell back into the bed “oh don’t try to get up, please” the doctor said as he w alked closer to the bed. “I’mfine, is someone going to tell me w hat happened?” she said irritated. “Well miss, you fell on the back of your head against a countertop, losing consciousness and landing on your right arm w hich is broken now , you have a concussion but nothing really that threatening” Gaga w asn’t that surprised ‘cause she remembered pretty much all of it. The doctor continued “you w ere also hydrated and w e did some blood tests because of your family background” Gaga nodded looking at Taylor w ho she had never seen so w orried, the doctor closed the door “You w ere very lucky your boyfriend w as w ith you, you could’ve lost a lot of blood” Gaga smiled a little and looked at the doctor “Fiancée, not boyfriend, fiancée” the doctor looked at the couple and smiled “of course” Taylor gently kissed her on her dry lips. “there is still one thing, w e tested you blood as I said, something unusual came up” Gaga immediately looked up, making her head ache even w orse “It’s not the Lupus right?” saying shocked “No, no!It’s not that” Gaga and Taylor sighed of relief, there w as a moment of silence “But w hat is it?” Taylor asked “Well Miss” he sw allow ed “congratulations, you’re pregnant” Taylor and Gaga’s jaw literally dropped. “I am WHAT?” Taylor fell into the chair behind him“but, but w e w ere so careful, how , HOW?” Gaga almost screamed. Taylor reached for his fiancée’s hand again and held it tightly “How far along? I mean..” Gaga started to cry “Wha-w hat about my fans? My beautiful fans? Ihave to go on tour” she snickered. The doctor look sympathetic at the couple “I know it’s a lot the process, I’ll give you guys some alone time and if you w ant Icould do a quick ultrasound to check how far along you guys are” Gaga w ho w as as w hite as a sheet of paper nodded at the doctor “that w ould be.. yes, sure” the doctor w rote something on a chart “I’ll be back in 20 min. or so” as he left the room. The silence in the roomw as asphyxiating, both of them not saying a w ord, just holding hands, after a few minutes Taylor opened his mouth “It’ll be ok.. Stef, it’s just a little.. early” but before Taylor could say another w ord Gaga interrupted him “No but Tay, w hat about the tour, my fans, they’ll be so disappointed! And the album, all my projects!” she started to cry again. Taylor climbed on the bed and lay next to her, holding her tightly “Sshht, don’t cry.. You w ouldn’t be able to tour anyw ay w ith a broken arm, and.. and you could still do the album, you’ve recorded most of it already..” Gaga tears started to dry as Taylor continued talking “and your fans w ill be there for you, they love you! I mean they really REALLY love you and Ilove you, Ilove you so much, I’ll be there for you and this baby no matter w hat” Gaga got a little more relaxed, her headache w as still really bad but w asn’t on her top priorities anymore. They w ere silent for a bit, just looking at each other “have you called my parents and the haus?” Taylor nodded “yes, Isaid it w asn’t that serious so your parents w ill be here tomorrow morning to take you home” “Thank you” Gaga w hispered. The doctor knocked on the door “Are you ok? Can I come in?” “Yeah come in” Taylor said. The doctor w heeled in the ultrasound machine, as he set it up he said “Iknow your stay is a little different because you’re famous” the doctor sighed “the paparazzi are camping outside, but nobody know s about this except for me, I’ll promise to keep it a secret” “Thank you, very much” Gaga w hispered, still becoming from the shock. Taylor climbed off the bed. “So just relax, this is a transvaginal ultrasound, and I’m gonna check how far along you guys are and if the baby is doing fine” Gaga nodded as she put her feet into the stirrups. Gaga w ho w as still a little bit to overw helmed didn’t w ant to look at the screen w hile Taylor looked attentively at it. There w as nothing much to see, it w as just a tiny black dot, the doctor turned on the volume and there w as a w eird sound, Gaga looked up w ith a puzzled expression “What’s that?” the doctor smiled “most of the time you can’t hear the heartbeat at this stadium but I guess you’re lucky, you’re about 6 or 7 w eeks along” Gaga gasped as tears streamed dow n her face, reaching her armout to Taylor w ho held it immediately. Hearing the heartbeat made it so much more real and all the doubts she had of keeping it disappeared. “It’s perfect” Taylor said holding back his tears. “so you guys w ant a picture? You can’t see a lot but..” “Yes!” Taylor said immediately “ok than!” as he got up and started to clean up the machine. “We’re gonna keep you overnight, it w on’t be long anyw ay, tomorrow you’ll be released” he gave three ultrasound pictures to Taylor and gave him a hand “good luck!” “Thanks” he responded and the doctor left again. Taylor w alked to his fiancée’s bed, she looked so tired. “How are you feeling Stef?” she smiled “tired, overw helmed, soar, happy and sad” Taylor kissed her lightly “I’m gonna let you sleep, I’ll have to be at w ork tomorrow very soon, Iasked if I could skip it but they said it w as impossible” he said feeling guilty 

“don’t you w orry, I’m just gonna sleep now , w hy don’t you go home, I’ll call you tomorrow ” “are you sure? I mean..” Gaga pushed him playfully w ith her non-broken arm “I’m sure! You said my parents w ould be here tomorrow right? I guess Tara w ill be w ith them, I’ll be fine!” Taylor nodded not very convinced “go!” “fine, fine I’m going” he handed her tw o of the ultrasound pictures “here keep this, I’ll call you first thing in the morning, here’s your cellphone by the w ay” as he put her blackberry on her nightstand. Gaga had her eyes already closed clenching the photo’s in her arm “goodnight” he w hispered “sleep tight” she answ ered, he turned the lights off and closed the door. Gaga immediately fell asleep. It w as like another w orld standing outside the hospital room, the area looked almost abandoned, he saw a nurse w alk by, she gave him a faint smile. He let himself lean against the door, his heart w as still racing in his chest, he grabbed his w allet fromthe back pocket of his jeans and carefully put the picture in it, staring at it for a few seconds. There w as nothing to see really, it w as just a little black blob, but to him.. it w as everything he ever w anted. He got the love of his life, a great job and a baby, their baby! “a little monster” he grinned. Taylor started his w ay out of the hospital but w hen he reached the exit there w ere thousands of paparazzi surrounding the hospital “oh shit I totally forgot!” he thought as he backed out, luckily nobody saw him yet. A random nurse w ho recognized him grabbed his arm “here I’ll show you the exit in the back” “Yes, thank you!” he said gratefully. Finally Taylor made it out of the hospital, taking a deep breath of cold night air. He looked at his w atch, it w as 5 in the morning. “I’mjust gonna pick up stuff from the apartment and head straight to w ork” he thought and w alked into the streets. Taylor called for a taxi and one stopped in front of his feet “w here do you w anna go sir?” the driver asked, Taylor gave him the address “oh sir, I’m sorry w e can’t go there, there’s a lot of hassle around that street tonight” “huh w hy?” “w ell apparently that pop singer Lady gaga had an accident there and the paps are w aiting for her to come back” Taylor buried his face in his hands, he now just noticed how tired he w as. So he decided to go straight to w ork, it w as gonna be a long day.
