At that moment, she appeared.
A visibly pregnant woman, leading with her belly, approached him with a serious expression and asked, “Can I have your leftovers?” There was no greeting, no polite introduction, just a direct request for the carbs. Big Shaq blinked in surprise. “Rah, man ain’t even started eating yet,” he responded, with fries halfway to his mouth.
However, there was something about her presence that prevented him from dismissing her.
“Safe, isn’t it,” she remarked with a calm demeanor, neither begging nor pleading—merely inquiring like a queen who understood she was owed respect. Thus, Shaq, now intrigued, offered the box as if it were a gesture of goodwill. But then… he did something unexpected.
He decided to follow her.
Not in an unsettling manner—he simply jogged behind her in his Timberlands, curious like a raccoon that had caught a whiff of something flavorful. She turned a corner, waddled into a side alley, and then through the rear of a community center.
Shaq glanced through the window and—suddenly—his jaw dropped.
Inside, she was not enjoying the wings by herself. She was feeding five children, all gathered around a small table adorned with paper cups and coloring books. One bite for her, three bites for them. The baby bump? It turned out to be merely a hoodie filled with baby clothes to transport supplies.
Indeed—she was not expecting a child. She was a one-woman outreach center.
Big Shaq entered, astonished. “Bruv… what is this? Nourishing the neighborhood with leftover wings?”
She looked up, smiled, and replied, “People waste far too much. I simply redistribute the snacks.”
Shaq stood there in his winter coat, at a loss for words for the first time since “The Ting Goes Skrrrahh.” He reached into his pocket, retrieved his wallet, and handed her £100. “This is for the sauces. And the nuggets of hope, isn’t it.”
Twitter caught wind of the tale after Shaq shared a selfie with the woman, captioning it: “She requested my leftovers. I offered her my heart. Real Gs give back.”
Now, the two are establishing a charity: “Man’s Still Hot Meals”— a food drive initiative aimed at assisting communities in need, beginning with spicy wings, of course.
The moral of the story? Never underestimate a “pregnant” woman with determination… and a desire for leftovers.
