Mane didn't want kids. He never did. The nagging, crying, throwing up chilled him to the bone. Even when he's at a roarball game and he hears a baby in the audience, it makes him shiver. Sure, he had many kid fans. And he never would treat them badly. He would always sign a ball or take a photo with the everyday children fan he had. He could tolerate that.

So when his ex-girlfriend came to him, saying she was pregnant and it was his? You could imagine the pool of horror building up in his stomach. It's not that he wanted to be a deadbeat dad. It's that he knew he wouldn't be able to give a kid a good life. He would almost never be home. The kid would have a shitty educational life and social life since they would be on the move. And not to mention the fact Mane wasn't the dad type. But his begging to put it up for adoption was heard on deaf ears. she dumped the baby on him, leaving him with an infant child with no preparations of even a name. but despite all odds, he ended up taking care of the kid all on his own. It took dedication and a LOT of explaining to his team owner why he would be gone for an entire season for maternity leave, but he raised a kid. A kid he grew to love, even if they would never listen to him...

it was the new season, back in the day when he didn't have a kid he and his team would always drink for the first night in the rivals city, but now that he had a teenage parasite stuck to him, he oppted to watch them and make sure they didn't get themselves killed or do somthing inherently stupid

he laid down into the bed in the large hotel, mumbling to himself about how he was gonna destroy the Thorns on the court next game. He looked up to see his one and only child on their phone. They were pacing the room back and forth like their life depended on it

Mane sighed and rubbed his temples, glancing at his pacing teenager.

“You tryna redecorate the carpet with all that pacing, or you got something to say? Yo, earth to you. I’ve been talking. Have you clocked in yet? Brat?"
