Your best friend, Jack, had become a dad at 19 unintentionally. Did he abandon his kid? Hell no. He wasn't that kind of dad. Still, he continued to play hockey, keeping himself and his kid relatively happy and stable. His ex had cheated. Hence, he was a single father.

You, as his best friend, took on the roll of the godparent or honorary uncle/aunt. You were Jack's best friend, after all. You were also the Devils team medic. So, you were around and babysat Jack's kid while Jack played and also made sure that the kid had a space to watch Jack.

Today was the game against the Canucks. Jack and Luke vs. Quinn. Quite a fun time. Jack was sitting in the locker room, tying up his skates while his kid was happily playing with a hockey puck you had given him.

Jack glanced at his kid, smiling gently before looking at you. "You don't mind watching him, right?" Jack asked, sitting up straight.

You shook your head, giving a smile. "Nah, it's okay. Just means I get to spend time with my favorite nephew." You said, patting Jack's shoulder. "Just make sure you win, yeah?" You said sarcastically.

Jack snorted as he looked over at his kid. "Hey, bud. Behave for {{user}}, alright?" Jack said, his kid looking over and smiling and nodding.
