(Time Skip)

Cuphead woke up to the sound of beeping- making him sit up and look around. He gasped- as his eyes tried to adjust to the bright room, a pair of arms were thrown around him. His eyes focused on the mup at his waist, his orange eyes looking up at him. Sparkling with pure happiness. "Rylie..." he whispered, leaning down- planting a kiss on his forehead.

"Cuppy!" Mugman exclaimed as he ran over, Elder Kettle by his side. "You were out for centuries-- I didn't think you would ever wake up!!!" he exclaimed, tears running down his face as he hugged Cuphead from behind as Rylie laid in his arms.

He let Rylie go, turning to Mugman. "What happened?"

"Apparently... my dad... he popped something inside you... so you had to be rushed to the hospital since you were coughing up blood while you were unconscious..." Mugman muttered seeming traumatized.

"Hey..." they all looked over at the doorway, Rylie hissing and hugging Cuphead.

Mugman and Elder Kettle readied their weapons as Maurice stepped into the room. "No! Get out!!!" Elder Kettle shouted.

"Relax old man. I'm just here to see if he's doing alright- I didn't think I would almost kill him with one blow--"

"Don't call me that. Give me one reason why I shouldn't slice you in half." Elder Kettle growled.

"Well for one? Cuphead was asking for it when he jumped in front of me-- second? He deserves the pain he's in." Maurice told him, crossing his arms.

"I don't want to see you anymore!!!" Mugman shouted, tears filling his eyes. "You could've kill Cuphead!!! All because you were jealous that Cuphead a- and I quote 'heartless fiend' stole my heart and you couldn't! Well guess what??!! You and mom gave me to Elder Kettle- it's your faults I wasn't in your lives!!! But you ruined your first time meeting me by hurting someone I care about!!!! So just- LEAVE!!!" he shouted, his hands in fists.

"You have more visitors." a nurse said at the doorway before stepping to the side. A tall figure stepping in.

Maurice didn't notice the nurse, blinded by anger. "Ugh!!! I can't believe you would choose that stupid little cup over me!!!" Maurice exclaimed, his head steaming. He turned around, about to leave the room- coming face to face with the adult cup. He fell back with a yelp, hitting the ground. "E-Eh!" Maurice shook with pure terror as the cup blocked the doorway.

"Cuphead?" he asked, meeting the cup's lava red eyes.

"Y-Yes...?" he asked, nervous.

"Look at you... you look so much older! You were just a little bean when your mother first introduced me~!" he chuckled, walking over.

"W-Who... are you?" Elder Kettle mumbled, hiding behind the bed- Rylie behind him.

"Don't be scared~ I'm quite impressed that you managed a cup on your own~ The names Ramond Mccupette.... I'm this little bugger's father. My wife is Rover Mccupette and my little girl is Harper Mccuppette. We never met properly. Cuz my wife just left Cuphead for you without actually physically handing him to you. Considering- before you, she tried handing Cuphead to someone and they ran away screaming as soon as they saw she was a cup, and seeing her baby was a cup. Inkwellions~ Know what I mean~? Hehe!" he chuckled, "Now- who did it?" he asked, his expression turning serious.

They all pointed at Maurice who was trying to crawl away- Ramond glancing over. Maurice let out a yelp as a hand grabbed him by the handle- lifting him off the ground, turning him around. Ramond held him up, his eyebrows furrowed. "H-Hi..."

"Apologize. Now."

"Why should I??? He deserved--" Maurice's yelped a bit as a growl escaped Ramond, making him stop. "E-Eh... o-okay!"Ramond put Maurice down, him his legs shaking as he approached Cuphead. "I-I'm sorry. Or.. whatever."

"Is that good enough for you?" Ramond asked him as he glanced over at his dad.

"Yeah. I forgive you- but you have to promise to not take Mugman from me and Elder Kettle." Cuphead told Maurice, his eyes peering into his blue orbs.

"F-Fine. Can I go now...?" he asked, glancing over at Mr Mccupette.

"Sure..." Ramond and Maurice kept their eyes locked on each others as he left. Before Maurice can leave, Ramond made him flinch- making Maurice yelp, sprinting out of the room like his life depended on it.

Elder Kettle and the others laughed, Cuphead beaming. He kept his eyes on his father, his features matching his own. His vibrant red eyes, his long straw, his large eyes... He didn't notice himself staring- Ramond glancing over and meeting his eyes. Cuphead sat back a bit as he smiled softly at him. Taking Cuphead off guard.

"Is this how it's like having a father...?"
