World's Okayest Dad | Video
[Tucker looked...well, it was hard to tell because his helmet's on, but there was something annoyed in his movements. Behind him was a room that seemed mostly barren and militaristic aside from the tossed about mess, a room that might seem familiar to his Chorus friends really, and the camera shook a little as he plucked something off a wall. It was turned over in his hand before he pointed it at the camera. A photograph, one with five human kids holding basketballs, and one that's...a little different.]
Since someone brought it up and now we're talking about it, yeah, I've got a kid. His name is Junior and he's amazing and I'm super freakin' proud of him. He can kick anyone's ass in basketball, is a freaking diplomat and on a scholarship, he knows at least ten different words for "dick", and he hasn't bitten a person in at least three months. He got a ribbon at school for that one.
[He pulled the picture back and put it on the wall again; there was one in his wallet, too. He was, in some few and far between ways, like every other dad out there, just with better jokes.]
He's the best goddamn thing about being a Chosen One. [There was a momentary pause, because--]...Okay, so maybe he's tied with the sword.
Don't ask specifics. Just know that childbirth sucks, I don't want to talk about that, but I'll tell you how damn amazing my son is if you want to listen. And I know I'm not the only one with weird families, so come on and spill it.

[ Simple. Cortana can get into the hows and whys of this being impossible, and he's happy enough to leave her to it.
Plus, the longer he's in this discussion, the more likely it is that someone's going to ask him a personal question he doesn't want to deal with. ]

[Sigh. It sure felt impossible; fuck, that hurt.]
But, fatherhood isn't as bad as I thought it would be, because I seriously thought it would be shitty. Having a legacy, though? That's pretty cool.
no subject
But he supposes that doesn't matter, does it? ]
I think I understand.

Being a dad didn't make him more important or different than anyone else. His kid was just cool. That's it. End of story.]
You want a kid?
[What? Totally reasonable question to ask.]
no subject
Too busy.
[ Not really an answer, but hopefully sufficient. ]
