[NICK]
The newly minted General Manager for the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA. He goes in with Grady and Marcus to buy a Brooklyn apartment, and dates then loses gf Amina over putting his career before the relationship. When Emily visits with Marcus' surprise daughter Nora, he offers to watch the baby so she can take a break, then ends up holding the proverbial diaper bag when she never returns. He's forced to learn to care for Nora along with Grady while Marcus is in Europe, and brings her along to work with him where she becomes a part of the Nets extended family. He loses her on the subway and goes through all manner of experiences learning to be a parent, and is grateful to drop her in returning Marcus' lap and get on with his life. But he has formed a bond and continues to pitch in and help raise her. After Marcus misses picking her up at day care due to a conflict, he has had enough. After Emily shows back up to take Nora back, he knows it's the right thing to let her, but he can't stop thinking about Nora even as the Nets play in the NBA finals and should be his focus. He joins Grady and Marcus in a race to the airport to try and convince Emily to stay with them and Nora, and they're able to do it. He tries again with Amina and is part of the "village" that raises Nora in the end.

9-month old baby.

[GRADY]
Supporting Male (30 - 40)
A raconteur adventurer who speaks many languages and has traveled the world doing intense experiences in keeping with his mantra as a psychology professor who advocates living like the world is about to end. He has plans for a new travel adventure book he's pitching, but things take a left turn when he comes home to find Nickcaring for Marcus' baby and he's forced to pitch in and help. He meets with an editor about his book, then gets a call from Nick and must race on his motorcycle to try and save Nora after she's left alone on the subway. Later he is relieved to turn Nora over to Marcus upon his return from touring so he can get a break. But he continues to help out, and when Marcus strands her at daycare he races on his motorcycle in the rain and gets in an accident over it. He joins Grady and Marcus in a race to the airport to try and convince Emily to stay with them and now counsels his students to live a healthy balance that includes being responsible to those you love. We see his new book is on the challenges of being a new parent instead of what he’d had in mind before Nora came along.

He finishes out his gig before returning home to take over Nora’s care, but struggles with fatherhood. He loses her favorite toy at a playground, and later allows a rehearsal session to keep him from picking Nora up from day-care, for which Nick labels him selfish and is highly critical. When Emily comes back to take Nora, he thinks it best she raise her, since he feels incapable. He writes an original song for Nora that becomes a minor hit online, and gets a chance to play it at Radio City for a charity event, but he can’t finish it without thinking of his kid and he races instead with Nick and Grady to the airport to try and get Nora back, and does
