Before this chapter starts, I just want to thank you all for the support and reading throughout the years.
It's crazy to me to think that I started writing this book when I was 12. Now I'm 18- almost 19.
While QFTIM isn't as big in my life as it used to be, and I know of the controversy with the original creator and the stigmatisation that has caused from that for this fandom, but this story and the characters have always had a safe space in my heart. At this point they are like a family to me - call me crazy.
This fandom, and all of you reading this book, have been there for me through a lot in my life. From my struggling mental health throughout the years, to discovering I'm trans and figuring out my sexuality and gender identity...I've always felt like I have a place with these characters, and I enjoy bringing this to all of you too.
I know I don't upload as often as I used to - but I've had other interests coming and going, and with my final year of college coming up and entering adulthood, I'll only get busier. I'm so grateful for your patience with me.
Anyhow, that's enough sappiness from me today. Enjoy this chapter full of mush!

(B/N) = Baby Name
Cuphead sat, illuminated by the soft moonlight seeping in from the blinds draped over the window, and the night light in the corner that projected little stars on the wall, rocking back and forth in a rocking chair.
In his arms lay his pride and joy. The daughter you have together.
She was fast asleep, buried in her father's chest as he held her like a fragile piece of China- which, in a way, she was. At least in his eyes.
Cuphead never thought he'd get here in life. After selling his soul to the devil and risking both his and his brother's life in a stupid act of greed, he never expected to make it to adulthood.
But here he sat, holding his child. The child he had with the love of his life.
The man sighs contently, gently stroking his finger over the tiny hand that gripped his palm,
"Let's get you in bed, sippy cup...you've had a big day".
The 'big day' in question was the excitement of their daughter smiling for the first time. Cuphead had cried as he saw his daughter's toothless grins for the first time.
It was an exciting day.
He carefully stands up, laying the small girl in the crib that sat in the corner of the room. He covers her tiny body with a soft blanket, turning the mobile on before he quietly crept out the room.
Once he had made it out without waking the baby, he sighs in relief and heads to the room he shared with his wife.
(Y/N) was peacefully napping - taking a break from having fed and changed the baby all day. Being a new mother was exhausting for her, and she was grateful to have help from Cuphead the whole time.
The cupheaded man climbs into bed, gently kissing along (Y/N)'s neck.
She stirs a little, blinking her eyes open and looking to her husband, who smiled down at her.
"Little one is finally asleep",
He hums, wrapping his arms around (Y/N)'s waist, his head resting in the crook of her neck - a spot that he has claimed as his own.
He gently kisses her neck, being gentle and speaking in a soft voice,
"And now...I get to snuggle with my beautiful wife".
(Y/N) shakes her head in amusement, stroking Cuphead's blonde hair, her eyes closing again,
"You're just looking for kisses".
"So what if I am?".
(Y/N) laughs slightly,
"You're so predictable...".
Cuphead chuckles quietly, gently nipping at her neck.
He sighs contently, lovingly stroking (Y/N)'s arm, his eyes fluttering closed.
As much as he loved his new role as a father, it sure was tiring.
The two lay in silence, just enjoying the peaceful quiet of the house. Life was...calm. In the best way possible. Having just a normal life after the whole Ink Machine quest was the best relief life offered.
(Y/N) sighs happily,
"I used to take silence for granted".
Cuphead chuckles,
"Yeah...me too. Its definitely nice to have a moment of peace after a whole day of (B/N) noises...as much as I love the little munchkin, she's a headache enducer".
"Says you",
(Y/N) teases, making her husband roll his eyes in amusement.
"Oh shut up. You're worst than I am...".
Another comfortable silence falls over the two as they lay and gently carres each other in soft, loving touches.
"Are you happy? With this life?",
Cuphead suddenly asks, catching the (H/C) haired woman off guard.
"Excuse me?".
"I mean...are you satisfied with where our life has ended up?",
Cuphead hums, opening his eyes, staring at his beautiful wife,
"Like...I know our expectations of life and our future has changed a lot since we first met...I mean, that's just natural. But...have your ambitions been met...?".
(Y/N) lays there in silence, lulling over what Cuphead had just said.
"Yes...I know I never expected to end up with how my life is right now, but...I'm glad things turned out the way they did".
She pauses, opening her eyes and looking to the blonde,
"Even through all the hardships...and the pain we've gone through...it made me the strong person I am today. Who we are now...I'm glad. I'm happy with everything in my life".
Cuphead smiles softly, kissing the tip of (Y/N)'s nose,
"Thank you...for being here for me for so long...I love you so much".
(Y/N) giggles, stroking Cuphead's cheek, leaning closer until their lips were inches apart,
"I love you more...Cuppy...".
The two kiss briefly, but their little moment of loving affection is cut off by the hungry cries of their baby in the room next door.
"And little miss sunshine has stolen the spotlight yet again...".

Short chapter to get me back in the swing of fanfic writing. I feel like I've lost my groove with this, so please tell me how I did and criticism of how to improve!
Thank you all, again, and be safe out there people.
