A/N: Prompt: "they are both adults and Ann just had their first child so Yusuke decides to paint them both to honor his mom"
Scrutinizing her appearance in the bathroom mirror, Ann brushed her fingers through the waves of her platinum blond hair. She leaned forward to examine her eyes; she spotted no wrinkles yet. Since she was nearing thirty and had her first child one month ago, she expected to see one pop up any day now.
For once she thanked god for her "natural beauty" genes.
Satisfied, she left the bathroom and headed to the largest room in the house, Yusuke's studio. Inside she found him talking softly to the baby in his arms, and their child blinked up at her father with shining dark eyes.
"I was going to ask how I look, but I already know I'm not as adorable as what I'm seeing right now," Ann noted fondly.
"Your lovely mother is back, Shiho," Yusuke said as he turned to his wife. When Ann held out her arms, he handed Shiho to her.
Ann walked over to a stool in the center of the room and sat down. Shiho emitted a tiny whimper, prompting her mother to coo soothingly for a few moments. Once she calmed, Ann looked up at Yusuke, who had taken his position in front of an easel.
"Should I pose a certain way?" She asked.
"How you are is perfect." Yusuke picked up his pencil and, after glancing between his family and the canvas, he placed the tip near the edge. A spark of melancholy caused him to hesitate.
"…I think your mother would love knowing you're making this in her honor." Ann offered a small, understanding smile.
"I…yes. This painting…I want it to capture this beautiful moment, but also connect the four of us together."
"I'd say this is the perfect way to do that."
Releasing a slow breath, he nodded and started to sketch, his mind solely focused on the most important piece of his life.
It took several sessions over the course of a week before he finished, as a couple times Shiho started to fuss before he made much progress. But when he showed the completed portrait to Ann and their friends, everyone agreed that it was truly a masterpiece.
