The group had eventually came upon a casino. They didn't go into it, of course, but Felix did mention that this was the casino he got the information from. Just passing by for them. Cup and Mug on the other hand knew exactly who ran the place. Their father....... BlackHat....

BlackHat was quite an eccentric man. Always too busy running the casino or trying to keep a certain waitress from causing issues to really see his sons. It didn't help the fact that BlackHat had gotten a divorce from Cup and Mug's mother a long time ago. It had caused a huge void between the boys and him.

As the group walked by, Mug had decided to hang back as his brother and Bendy had decided to stay behind the other three. Mug already knew about the relationship between the two, I mean, he ended up seeing them make love by complete accident. Cuphead had a wrapped as arm around her waist as she leaned gently against him as they walked. Mug couldn't help, but think about how cute they were being at the moment.

"Hey bro. How about we go say hi to dad," Mug piped up as he walked beside the two.

"Your dad," Bendy asked in confusion.

"Don't have time. Let's keep going," Cuphead answered bluntly as he brushed past Mug with Bendy still against him.

Bendy wanted to ask him so badly about his so called father. But something told her that it wasn't such a good idea. She had felt the way his grip on her waist tightened at the mention of his father. Did something happen between them? As they walked past the casino the trio hadn't noticed someone staring out the nearby window looking at them with a deep frown.

<Small Time-Skip>

They had walked for bit longer until Bendy felt slight pain coming from her chest. Cuphead had seen the pain reflected in her eyes. He knew her illness was starting to kick in so he needed to get Boris's attention.

"Hey. Maybe we should take a quick break," Cuphead spoke up making everyone turn to look at him. He had,of course, let go Bendy just before Boris had turned.

Boris had also seen it too. Mug didn't really know about her illness though and was mildly confused on why they were stopping so early. Felix understood instantly right away, because Boris had quietly told him of his sister's predicament when they had first started the quest.

Felix, Mug and Cup sat down quietly on the grass as Boris took off with his sister somewhere. It was probably so no one would have to watch her suffering. Cuphead frowned as he watched her disappear around a corner. He desperately wanted to go and help her, but it would only make Boris suspicious of his intentions. A small sigh escaped his throat. If they didn't return in the next few minutes he would go off to check. Felix was funnily thinking the same thing.

~Meanwhile~

Ink had poured like no tomorrow practically covering Bendy's eyes as she coughed and cried in pain. Boris held her as she continued to drip ink. What Boris hadn't notice was how she lightly touched her abdomen in hopes that the child would survive this. Eventually the illness had stopped leaving her there dripping ink and exhausted. Boris pulled out a cloth in order to get the ink off his sister's face.

"Boris....," Bendy began quietly, "Promise me something. Promise me if we don't fix the machine in time for me you'll still try to fix the machine.... for everyone else's sake"

Boris looked at her in shock, "You're not going to die sis. You're fine."

"Boris! Look at me...... The illness is just getting worse sooner or later I'll......," Bendy began only to be cut off by Boris.

"NO! I-I'm not listening to this," Boris began as he teared up.

"Boris someone needs to leads this team. You need to ," Bendy sternly spoke to him.

"I'm not leading anything! This is OUR team sis," Boris shouted as tears streamed down his face.

"Boris....."

"Lalalala! Not listening," Boris shouted covering his ears trying to block his sister out.

"Damn it Boris! If you won't promise to me at least promise it for my child," Bendy snapped.

Bendy didn't realize what she said until Boris lowered his hands looking at her with complete confusion. During the argument they hadn't noticed the other three had quietly come over to see what all the yelling was about. Felix and Mug looked at one another in mild confusion as well. They had no clue what child she was talking about. Cuphead on the other hand knew that this was going to happen sooner or later......

".....Child? Sis what are you talking about," Boris asked in quiet tone.

Bendy sighed as she grabbed her little brother's hand and placed it on her abdomen. Boris could feel how abnormally hard that area was and realization hit his face. He looked back and forth between where his hand was and his sister's face. She had a soft smile on her face as Boris was too stunned at the moment for words.

"This child Boris.....," Bendy spoke in soft tone.

Boris snapped out of his shock as he looked at his sister. During that time she had seen the other three Mug with sparkles of excitement in his eyes while Felix didn't know whether to be shocked or happy.... She saw Cuphead and gave him a small sweet smile. Which he did in return.

"Sis..... Who's the father? Is it someone we know," Boris asked his voice still extremely quiet removing his hand from her abdomen.

"Yes it is. He's actually traveling with us at the moment," Bendy answered as she motioned for Cuphead to come over.

As soon as Boris seen Cuphead kneel next his sister and touch her abdomen with such gentleness he instantly figured it out. Cuphead was the father to the child which meant... That night she had went out for drinks an hadn't come back. That night she had been with Cuphead! The way they stood close to one another, the looks they gave each other, it wasn't at all Boris's over active imagination after all. They were a couple.

Bendy watched as Boris tried to figure how he felt about this as their other two companions came over. Mug was practically gushing over the fact that he was going to be an uncle and going on about how he'll be the best uncle ever! Felix on the other hand, smiled at the two taking full support on helping Bendy along with her pregnancy. He was now kinda glad that his bag was magic or else taking care of her would be much harder for everyone including himself.

"So, you and Cuphead are together together," Boris asked finally breaking his silence.

Bendy nodded silently as Cuphead took her hand squeezing it in support. Boris sighed as a sudden smile crossed his face.

"Well, I guess I should've seen this one coming. But wow! I get to an Uncle! That is so cool," Boris gushed happily as he started to join in with Mug on the whole who is going to the best uncle in what for the child.

Bendy laughed gently. She was glad Boris wasn't mad or anything like that he seemed almost excited about the whole thing more so then herself. Bendy knew the child had made it through the ink illness, but the thing was, could the child last through any more of them? She had hoped so. Because for the first time in quite a while she felt truly..... happy.......

~~~~~~

I at first was going to make Boris get angry, but he's a precious cinnamon roll! I'd see him more as a little brother that gets all excited about the thought of being an uncle. Anyways, Antebellum96 Out!
