JJ Maybank never expected to become a father at fifteen. But four years later, his daughter, Y/N, is the most important person in his life. Raising a four-year-old on the Cut isn’t always easy. JJ is still reckless, broke, and constantly finding himself in trouble, but when it comes to Y/N, everything changes. She is his little girl, his reason to keep going, and the one person who can bring out the softer side of him. And she isn’t growing up alone. The Pogues are her family too. John B is the fun uncle. Kiara is Y/N’s safe place. Pope is the responsible one who somehow always ends up carrying her things. Together, they create the kind of family JJ never had. Between beach days, boat rides, bedtime stories, scraped knees, and the occasional Pogue disaster, Y/N grows up surrounded by people who love her. JJ may not know how to be a perfect dad. But he’ll spend every day trying to be the dad she deserves. Because JJ Maybank would do anything for his daughter. And everyone on the Cut knows it. She’s his little girl. His whole world. His reason to come home.
