Here we go:

Gaga was sitting on her piano stall trying not to laugh. They are rehearsing for their Oscar performance.

"B, you gotta calm down or you won't be able to sing the notes correctly." She says and he looks at her running a hand on his growing hair. He's getting frustrated.

"I can't believe I'll have to sing live for the whole world to watch. It's driving me mad, and tomorrow we have that damn lunch where everyone will ask about this performance." He confesses and she pulls him by his shirt making him sit beside her.

"Love, you were able to sing it with me in Vegas and you'll be able to sing it again at the Oscars. You have to focus on me and forget everything else. Sing it to me, make every word mean something, let your heart out and it'll be perfect." She runs her hand on his face. "You're a talented musician, my boy. And I'll be there with you. If anything goes wrong rely on me and I'll fix it." He hugs her tight and kisses her hair.

"Thank you, Stef." She nods and starts playing the song on the piano.

They spend the whole afternoon rehearsing their presentation. Around 6pm they find themselves laying on her couch watching TV. Bradley is running his fingers on her hair while she lays in front of him. She yaws and he chuckles.

"Tired?" He asks and she just nods. "Want me to order something to eat? I'm kinda hungry."

"Yeah... I'd like a huge burger with fries." She says and he laughs.

"It's impossible to diet while with you, right?" She shakes her head.

"Don't say that, I normally eat properly, but sometimes I get to enjoy junkie food. And you don't need a diet, so cut this crap, please?" She pouts. Bradley grabs his phone to order and pulls Gaga to his lap.

"Choose, my lady. I'll have whatever pleases you!" He jokes and she rolls her eyes taking his phone from him, she opens the food app.

As soon as they order their food his phone rings and he sighs when he sees it's Irina.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Bradley, I need to go out for work. Can I drop Lea over? She misses you." Irina says.

"Sure, I'm not home right now, but I can pick her up in a bit." He offers.

"I'm already on the car, can I drop her off where you are now?" She asks and Bradley chuckles. Irina would hate this, but since she was in a rush, what could she do, right?

"I'm at Stefani's, do you want the address?" He asks and hears her sigh.

"Alright, but no funny business, I'd rather you introduce Stefani to her as your friend. Okay?" He agrees. And as soon as he hangs up he burst out laughing.

"Can I know why you gave Irina my home address?" Stefani asks confused and Bradley smiles.

"We'll have Lea for the night, I mean, I can take her home if you want." Stefani smiles big and shakes her head.

"No way! Of course both of you can stay here." She says getting up and going to the kitchen.

"Hey, where are you going? It was cozy here." He complains and she laughs.

"I'm going to make a healthy dinner for your daughter, we can't let a 2 year old eat junkie food with us, right?" Bradley nods and can't hide his smile, it makes his heart melt to know Stefani loves Lea already.

Irina drops Lea there about half an hour later. Bradley goes to the door to get her and Gaga stays inside, she truly doesn't want to see Irina if it's not necessary.

"Daddy!!!!" The little girl screams and runs to her dad's arms. Bradley missed her so much, he holds her tight on his arms and thanks Irina. They go inside and as soon as Bradley put Lea on the floor she runs to Stefani, that was sitting on the couch. "Stefi!!!" She jumps on her arms and laughs. Gaga looks at Bradley surprised.

"Hey little one, let Stef breathe." Bradley says and Lea let go of Gaga's neck.

"Sorry."

"No need to be sorry. You can hug me tight as much as you like." Gaga says and the girl smiles.

"You Lady Gaga? Daddy say you are." Lea asks and Gaga giggles.

"Yeah dear, I'm Lady Gaga, it's my stage name. But here at home I'm just Stefani, alright?" The girl nods and start to sing the ohhh ohhh from Bad Romance. Gaga laughs and joins her. Bradley just sits there thinking when did he get so lucky?
