The faint smell of medicine and the cold, told Gaga by instinct that she was at the hospital. She tried to open her eyes but just a tiny task like that one seemed so impossible to do, her eyelids felt heavy and her nose was moist, she tried to speak but her mouth felt dry so she just opened her eyes very slowly.
Taylor had been sleeping at the hospital with her parents, as Pam and the bodyguards tended for the kids. Gaga had been shot in the shoulder, rupturing an artery which the doctors swiftly fixed, she also had suffered a concussion and her scalp was lacerated. All because of one man. Her ex, Luc. Taylors blood boiled just at the thought of him, but he was also calm knowing that he woulf be getting some jail time; the lawyer claimed it could be up to 25 years so that gave Taylor a weird sense of calmness.
Gaga sat on the bed drowsily as her husband managed to feed her some chicken soup, which she could barely swallow whole, -"....How do you feel? "-Taylor asked, Gaga drew in a deep breath and grunted, Taylor nodded and rubbed her hand, -"You will be okay. Remember what the doctor just said, he fixed your arm and-and you may feel a bit dissoriented for a few hours but you have to eat okay? It will make you feel stronger", Gaga nodded again and swallowed a bit of soup, -"....The kids miss you, they'll come visit tonight, like that?", Gaga smiled faintly and nodded, her sunken eyes looked red and swollen and her face was pale.
♡Hours Later♡
Gaga felt a bit better now that she had her two sons around her to give her strenght, -"Mommy look what I painted you"-Luca said, holding up a drawing of their house and the whole family together, Gaga smiled from ear to ear even if it was painful, -"Thank you Lu, this is great!", -"Yeah...I made it just for you"-The 5-year-old said, puttig the paper next to a vase of flowers on the bedside table.
-Days Later-
-"Alright Stefani, I see you are evolving properly, the broken shoulderblade will heal swiftly and the muscle is inmobile, I have decided to discharge you tomorrow evening, but I do have some info for yoy", Gaga nodded while holding her husbands hand, -"First of all, you should not lift heavy objects off the ground, including your sons, then...do not wet the bandages but change them every two days, drink plenty of liquid and have your daily calcium suplement and you will for sure make a full recovery"; Gaga smiled wide, -"Thanks Doc", -"Sure princess, see you tomorrow then!".
-Next Day-
Gaga laid motionless on the wheelchair, as she pulled the beanie even further so it could cover her ears, -"Alright, I packed everything"-Taylor said, taking her out of mental limbo, -"....I dont wanna come to a hospital in a very long time"-Gaga sighed, pulling up her sunglasses, Taylor kneeled beside her and kissed her hand, -"Heres a promise...the next time we step foot here, it will be for the birth of our daughter, ok?", Gaga chuckled and looked at him with a smile, -"So convinced its gonna be a girl huh?"-she then laughed, pecking her husband softly, -"Deal"-she whispered, poking his nose; Taylor smiled at her and threw the Nike duffle bags on his shoulder and pushed his wife out on the wheelchair.
♡Later that Day♡
-"Thanks for the coffee Pam"-Gaga mumbled to her mother in law, -"It was nothing sweetie, Im glad you are feeling much better", -"Yeah, I'm really just high in like meds but it's fine"-Gaga chuckled, sipping on the coffee again. Taylor came out pf the bedroom with a little notebook in his hand, -"Script?"-Pam asked, giving Gaga the TVS remote control, -"Yep! Since I go back tomorrow I just have to learn some lines here and there and we are done", Gaga smiled at him and patted the space beaide him, -"You'll be great, as always-she assured her, kissing her husband deeply.
By dinnertime, Pam was making some macaronni and cheese sauce as Gaga looked on from the counter. The brunette left her phone aside and sighed, rubbing her temples, -"How is your anxiety, darling?"-Pam asked, frowning, -"Meh...it was better but now its just...it skyrocketed. It means a lot to me thar youre here helping me with the kids, I dont think I'd be able to take care of them on my own", Pam left the food breweing and approached Gaga, -"What do you mean baby", -"I mean...I'm not fit to look after them alone now, not in this state"-Gaga responded, sobbing into Pams shoulder. Taylors mother craddled Gaga and could just feel sorry about how some asshole had made this angel suffer.
