{ Notice: This is told from Cuphead's POV}

Today was the day. Me and my wife, Bekkah, had wanted a child for a long time now. The 8 month long wait has been agonizing; but now, its time. I still remember the day I found out I was going to be a father..

- Flashback, still Cuphead's POV -

I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my brother, Mugman. Me and Bekkah had been married for a few months by this time. I still don't know how I got so lucky to have met Bekkah, and to be honest, she was lucky too.

Bekkah came out from our room, and walked over to where me and Mugs were. "Hey, sweetheart." I said to her and kissed her cheek, causing her to giggle. "I have something to show you." She said as she sat next to me, handing me something. My eyes widened at the sight of a positive pregnancy test. "W-whoa, wait.. are you.. pregnant..?" I gasped, looking at her. She smiled again, and nodded with slightly teary eyes. Mugman gasped excitedly. "Wow, congratulations you two!" He beamed. I grinned widely and started to tear up from happiness; I couldn't believe I was going to be a dad.

- End of flashback -

As we rushed to the hospital, I couldn't help but worry for Bekkah. She was in so much pain, I had to carry her the entire way.. its a good thing we didn't live far from it. When we arrived, I quickly got the attention of the doctors and nurses when I called for someone to help us. "I need help- my wife is in labor!!" I yelled, and they quickly grabbed a stretcher to bring Bekkah and me to the delivery room while Mugs waited in the waiting room.

I quickly sat next to Bekkah as the doctors got ready to deliver. She was whimpering, and holding my hand tightly in her own. It wasn't long before she started to push. Bekkah's pained cries made me even more worried,  but I stayed by her side the whole time. "You can do it, honey.. just keep pushing.. it will be worth it, I promise.." I said quietly, gently rubbing her back to comfort her while I held her hand. She looked at me to weakly nod in response, before groaning in pain as she pushed again.

"Waaaah!!"

Suddenly, the room was filled with a tiny, but audible new sound. I gasped when I heard it, and looked over to see the doctors take a blanket and scoop up the new baby to take them to a cleaning station next to the bed. Bekkah was panting; clearly out of energy. I smiled at her, and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "You did it.. They're here.. I'm so proud of you." I cheerfully said to her, making her smile as well and slightly lift her head to nuzzle me.

After a minute or so, a nurse walked up to me and Bekkah with a smile, holding the baby who was bundled up warmly in a blanket. "Would you like to meet your daughter?" She asked. Bekkah smiled widely, and nodded. "Y-yes please!" The nurse then carefully handed the baby, who was still quietly whimpering, to Bekkah. She instantly started to cry at the sight of our daughter, and I started to cry as well. "Oh my gosh, Cup.. Look at her, she looks so much like you..!" She cooed, holding the baby close. "She does, doesn't she?" I said with a wide smile as I looked at my daughter. She was so small, and looked so much like me as Bekkah has said.. I was so excited to finally meet her. "Do you want to hold hey, Cuphead?" Bekkah asked, looking at me. My eyes widened a little bit, and I looked at the baby again before Bekkah. "Ah.. I don't know, she's just.. So small... What if I hurt her?" I asked, stuttering a little bit. I didn't want to accidently drop her or hold her incorrectly, resulting in her getting hurt. "Hehe, oh Cup.. it's okay if your nervous. She may be small, but if she's anything like you and me combined, she is gonna be anything but fragile."

I nodded nervously, and picked up the baby as carefully as I could. I looked down at the little bundle of joy that was in my arms, she looked up at me opening her eyes for the first time, and it was then i couldn't hold back my tears. She quietly cooed at me, and gripped onto my shirt before she fell asleep. I sighed with a smile, and cuddled her closer to my chest. "She's perfect." I said happily. The room door then opened, and Mugman hurried into the room with a big smile once he heard the baby was here. He came to me and Bekkah's ​side and looked down at his new niece. "Awwww! She is so cute!" He quietly squealed with excitement, causing me to chuckle. "What will you name her?" He asked. "I was thinking.. Hazel." Bekkah said, as she reached over to gently caress the baby's cheek. I was silent for a moment. "Hazel, huh?.. I love it." I responded with a smile, and added; "Welcome to the family, Hazel.
