Disclaimer: Konomi Takeshi has a really big imagination and a wide knowledge of tennis. I have the first, but the second came when I watched his series.
Summary: Memories are essential things within each family. They grow and make their own albums to remind the family members of the special times they spent together. Here, you read about the memories Tezuka, Syuusuke and Ryoma make together.
Notes: This is a story for my dear friend Nerdgal. She gave me the idea and asked me to write it. I hope you all like it!
Since I've been writing Alpha pair stories for the last while, it was a nice change to have a story with the Perfect pair. I love TezuFuji, too, and I once mentioned that Ryoma is best suited for a parent-child relationship with them, so he's their son!
Please, review!

Two figures hiding in the shadow approached a man in the garden slowly; the smaller one stifling his giggles and the bigger one putting up a finger in a quiet motion.
Both of them had mischievous glints in their eyes while wide grins plastered themselves on their faces. They slowly tip-toed till they were in a meter distance away from the crouching man, counted silently to three together, and-..!
"SURPRIIIIIISE!"
"GYAAH!"
The two latched themselves on the man's back as he gave a startled shriek and clicked the scissors in his hand by mistake.
Syuusuke and Ryoma giggle together as they finally let their man go. "We totally got him, Mama!" the boy of seven years old said still giggling and his mother nodded to him. Both of them failed to notice the murderous aura radiating from Tezuka that moment, and they totally didn't expect him to-..!
"What have you two done?!" Tezuka roared at them, hovering over them angrily. The mother and son pair blinked, exchanged looks then glanced at the spot where the chestnut-haired man was sitting earlier to find that a branch of the bonsai he was caring for had been cut mercilessly. Ryoma gasped, while Syuusuke bit her lower lip worriedly. They didn't mean to-..!
"I can't believe you two!" he crossed his arms over his chest and glared at them, "Syuusuke, Ryoma, go inside and sit in seiza. Do not move from there until I come and deal with you."
At that, the two gulped, nodded sadly and headed inside with guiltily bowed heads.
"Mama, what do we do now? Papa is angry.." Little Ryoma said in a hushed voice once they entered their house. Syuusuke sighed and sat down in seiza in the hallway, watching her son copying her beside her, "I don't know, sweetie.. I didn't know he was caring for his bonsai.."
They sighed together, shared a little smile and held each other's hands. A sound of the door to the garden closing reached them and they hurriedly let go, curled their fists on their knees and straightened their backs with bowed heads.
Tezuka nearly stomped on his way. They made him destroy one of his father's bonsai trees! When he reached them, he-..!
"Ryoma," he called sternly and winced internally when he saw his little boy jumping a bit, "Speak."
"I'm sorry, papa! We didn't mean to! Mama and I wanted to surprise you, but we didn't expect that to happen!" the little boy said hurriedly. Well, Tezuka knew it wasn't intentional, but he had to scold both of them.
"Syuusuke?" he called to his wife, waiting for an answer.
"It's as Ryoma said. We wanted to give you a surprise, but Mary-chan was in the way," she cowered at the harsh glare sent at her, "-.. I mean Mary-chan got hurt, and we didn't want that.."
The bespectacled man let out a sharp sigh and passed his hand through his hair while the other went to his hip. "Honestly, Syuusuke, you're my wife, not my second child." He saw the small smiles on both their faces and relaxed a tad bit. Both of his hands were on his hips now, "Why did you do this?"
The brunette mother and her child glanced at each other before they pointed at the living room reluctantly. Tezuka raised an eyebrow in question but went to check there anyway. What he found there took him aback, though.
There was a colorfully wrapped package with a white ribbon on top. A card was hanging from it, and he curiously caught it.
"To the best papa in the world! Happy Father's day!
With love, Ryoma and Syuusuke."
His eyes softened at the emotion filled card and he let himself smile a little before composing himself back and walking back to the punished duo on the floor. "What am I going to do with you now?" he asked with a hint of scolding, but then relaxed his expression and knelt in front of them and said softly, "Both of you," the two lifted their heads, guilt still evident in their eyes, ".. you have to give me a kiss."
At once, Ryoma and Syuusuke smiled wide and lunged themselves at him giving him kisses on his cheeks.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Two figures held their breathes as they watched the back of a woman hanging the laundry on the wires in the garden and made motions for each other to stay quiet.
Syuusuke hummed softly to herself as she hanged the last shirt and stepped back.
The two hiding walked till they were in a close distance with her and got ready. The little boy of eight years old counting from one to three on his fingers and at the third finger, the bigger lunched and swept the brunette woman off her feet carrying her bridal style.
"UWAAAH!"
"Quick!" Tezuka hissed and lowered himself with his wife to the ground when Ryoma came to them and wrapped a piece of a dark colored cloth around her head to cover his mother's eyes, tied it swiftly and stepped back.
"Let me down!" when she was about to lift her hands to get the cloth off, Tezuka made a sudden move of trying to drop her, effectively making her wrap her arms around his neck and keep the cloth in its place, "Now you're going to come with us." He told her and started heading inside, Ryoma going before him and opening the door to let him in and bring her to the living room.
When they were inside, Tezuka set his wife down on the sofa and took the blindfold off her eyes allowing her to see their son holding a medium-sized, rectangular, wrapped box with a ribbon in his arms.
She blinked in surprise and took the box from her son and caught the card that was tucked between the ribbons.
"To the best mama in the world! Happy Mother's day!
With love, Ryoma and Kunimitsu!"
Syuusuke blinked a tear away and locked Ryoma in a tight hug and he gave her a kiss on her cheek. She turned and gave her husband a brief kiss on his lips before sharing a hug.
"At least I didn't ruin your laundry." He teased her and she couldn't help but laugh along with her only son.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ryoma heard his mother's voice calling his name from downstairs and he rushed to write an answer to a question in his notebook before heading out of his room.
Once he was near the kitchen, he heard hushed voices coming from the other room, and wasn't it only his mother and father downstairs? What was going on?
"Mom? Dad?" he called and walked to the living room and frowned when he found the lights off. He started to worry and immediately searched for the switches to turn them on. What he saw though surprised him very much when he turned around.
"SURPRISE!"
He raised an eyebrow with a confused expression, something he got from his father, at the scene his family made.
His parents were on one side with a camera in his mother's hands with his father beside her smiling. On the other side was a part of the family, too, as his uncle Sanada Genichirou stood with a small smile with his wife, Seiichi, and his best friend, Ayaka, smiling widely at him.
Just then, he noted the white cake in the middle with eleven candles.
"Happy Birthday, Ryoma!"
He smiled warmly and entered the party.
A/N: If you're gonna ask why I did the first two as Mothers' day and Father's day instead of Tezuka and Fuji's birthdays, then the answer is: in their birthdays, they will be expecting something so it won't be that surprising, but since it's not then the amusement will be bigger.
Review, please.
