《The Crimes of Society: A Lady Gaga Story》What About Hope?
Advertisement
Taylor sat at Gaga's bedside. She hadn't woken up yet. It was the day after everything happened. Their family was there. Joe paced around the room while Cynthia sat in the corner staring at her unconscious daughter. The baby was still alive. Not breathing in her own yet, but everyone's hoping for the best.
Taylor whispered to Gaga, "Stef, I don't know if you can hear me, but our daughter is here. She's alive. The doctors have been asking me for her name, but I'm waiting for you. So we can do this together like we were supposed to. I already miss your smile and your laugh..." he kissed her hand "I love you so much. I really hope you know that..." His voice cracked and tears welled up in his eyes.
Joe walked over to Taylor and placed his hand on his shoulder. "She's going to make it. She has to" Joe whispered.
"I want us to be a family" Taylor sobbed.
"You will. We all will. Its just a matter of time"
Gaga's P.O.V.
Gaga heard Taylor's voice. She barely remembered what happened the night before, but she was exhausted even with being unconscious. Her stomach hurt like it had been ripped open which by the sounds of it, it had been. Her daughter, no THEIR daughter had been born way too early. Its a miracle that she even survived.
Gaga could feel Taylor's years drip onto her hand. She knew she had to wake up soon.
Regular P.O.V.
Taylor and Joe were talking about things when a doctor walked in "Hello guys. I have some good news" he said cheerfully.
Taylor stood up as fast as he could "What is it?" He asked hastily.
"Would you like to meet your daughter? You can't hold her but you can go see her in the incubator"

"Yes yes! Of course!" Taylor replied.
He followed the doctor to the second floor where the NICU was placed. He was led into a room full of incubators. The doctor pointed to one in the far corner and Taylor walked over and saw his baby girl.
"She's so small, so beautiful at the same time. I don't know how to describe it" Taylor was almost speechless at the sight of her tiny body.
"She's going to be small for a while, but the lucky part is that she developed much faster than most infants so she's going to be normal health wise" the doctor explained.
"Really? Then when can we take her home?"
"Not for a while. We need her to gain some weight which could take a while
Taylor looked back at his daughter "Oh ok"
"But pretty soon you'll be able to hold her. Have you thought of any names yet?"
"I'm waiting for Stefani to wake up. After what she just went through, I think it should be up to her" Taylor answered with a bit of attitude.
They left and Taylor returned to the room only to see what he had been hoping for. "Stef! You're awake!" He bolted over to her and embraced her.
"I love you too by the way. I heard what you said. Hows our baby?" She asked in a raspy voice.
"She's beautiful! She was sleeping, but I can already tell she's going to be amazing" he replied with his eyes shining.
"We need to think of names"
"I know I was just waiting for you. we'll do this together"
Gaga immediately thought of a bane that fit perfectly considering the situation, "What about Hope?"
"It's beautiful!"
