DALLAS
“I THINK I MIGHT BE FUCKED.”
Shawn Holmes, the head coach of the D.C. Titans and one of the best
football players of all time, barely glances up from the whiteboard heâs
studying at his desk. I stand in the doorway of his office and wait for him to
acknowledge me. After three long minutes, he finally lifts his head.
âIf you didnât kill anyone, steal anything, or say something derogatory
or offensive, itâs salvageable.â He caps a purple dry erase marker and gives
me his full attention. âWhat did you do Lansfield?â
âCome on, Coach.â I sit in the chair across from him and hold my
daughter, June, on my lap. At four, she hates sitting still, so I bounce my
knee up and down to keep her smiling. We already had one meltdown
today, and Iâd like to get through this afternoon without another. âYou know
Iâd never get myself in trouble.â
âDebatable. I think you might give me the biggest headache out of
everyone on the team. Donât think I forgot about the time you gave my wife
your jersey to wear to a game,â he says.
âTechnically you werenât dating Lacey at the time, so technically I
didnât break any rules.â I grin when he rolls his eyes. âIt was years ago. You
sleep next to her every night, and your PDA at the Super Bowl made more
headlines than our win. Donât tell me youâre still pissed about it.â
âIâm probably going to be pissed about it forever.â
âWow,â I whisper in Juneâs ear, loud enough for him to hear me. âMr.
Shawn doesnât know how to take a joke, June Bug. The old man really
needs to lighten up.â
âYou have five seconds to tell me whatâs going on, or Iâm kicking you
out.â
âI need a nanny.â
âYou have a nanny.â
âI had a nanny,â I say.
âWhat happened to Tonya?â
âGone.â
âAlicia?â he asks.
âFired.â
âBrittany?â
âHow the hell do you remember all of their names? I can barely keep
track, and they worked for me. Brittany is sailing off into the sunset, but
that one isnât my fault. Sheâs following her boyfriend out west for his new
job.â
âYouâve had so many nannies, I can mention any womanâs name, and
chances are itâs probably someone youâve hired,â Shawn says. âWhat does
your lack of childcare have to do with me?â
Because I need help, I think.
A lot of fucking help.
I never thought Iâd be a thirty-year-old Super Bowl champion with a
four-year-old daughter, but here we are.
I guess thatâs the thing about life: itâs fucking unpredictable.
I went from buying bottles of vodka to warming up bottles of milk.
Late nights at the club and enjoying the VIP section with my teammates
turned into me sitting in a rocking chair with a newborn, trying to get her to
fall asleep.
My credit card purchases changed from new TVs and a top-of-the-line
grill to baby gates and pacifiers.
Itâs been a learning curve. A painstaking process with mistakes and fuck
ups and ten million lessons in humility and empathy.
But thereâs also been a lot of good.
