Guys, I think I might be falling for Cala Maria... I just can't get enough of her. Send help. Lol. Anyways here's a story about Mugman and Cala Maria raising their child. ~ Silver Espeon

Mugman loved the ocean. The calm, beautiful waves and the falling sunset as night began to dawn were wonders to behold. The beach was a paradise getaway from Inkwell Isle which normally has harsh winters. Thankfully he and his family lived close to the ocean. It was only on Inkwell Isle 2, a brisk walk away. Sometimes Cuphead teased Mugman for travelling to the beach so often but Mugman knew it was all brotherly love. "Going to see your mermaid girlfriend mermaid again?" said Cuphead in a high pitched voice.

Oh that's right. Mugman had asked out Cala Maria, the beautiful mermaid they fought, on a date. Cala Maria accepted and 9 years later they gave birth to a baby girl. Her name was Seacup and inherited her mother's octopus hair and her father's cup as a head and blue nose. Her nose was smaller, however, than her father's.

Mugman would lie if he said dating Cala Maria was perfect. She often suffered from bipolar disorder as characterized by her medusa form. She could get mad quite easily and when she did, it wasn't pretty. Thankfully she was able to keep that form under control for the most part. Cala Maria was genuinely a good person and that's what Mugman valued about her above all else.

"Another drink, Mugman?" Cala was visibly upset with Mugman. Anyone could tell that. Because of their misadventures at an early age (and because it was the 1920s where there were less restrictions on what kids and teens could do) Mugman started drinking. His favorite by far was wine. "Come on, it's to celebrate the birth of our child! This is the last one I promise." Mugman filled a glass that was obviously very tall and drank it all slowly to savor it. "Mmm."

"It better be. Because now you're gonna be a father." "Hand her over to me." Mugman was given the baby and he stared intensly at her. She was absolutely adorable. Mugman rubbed his nose against her softly, gaining some laughter from her. "Awww!" Mugman said. "She is so adorable." "Great now she's gonna smell like wine." 'Oh come on. A little wine never hurt anyone." "She's an infant Mugman!" "We'll look back on this and laugh." "You think everything's a joke Mugman. I don't want our daughter ending up like her alcoholic father!"

Mugman fell silent. He thought Cala was joking but now she was serious. "Well." Mugman couldn't muster up a response. He laid Seacup down on her crib and Mugman walked out of the room.
