epilogue

"CHEESE!"

Reedus jokingly yelled, covering his brush in paint before letting it smear across the canvas. Due to his extreme talent, it wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes. However, one of the children escaped their grasp. Y/n frowned at her youngest son, "Leo Ryos Eucliffe!" She scolded, the young three year old babbling and biting his fingers, mockingly looking at his mother.

Sting sighed and went to pick up the three year old in his other arm. In between the two parents was their oldest, seven year old Weiss Andromeda Eucliffe. He had inherited most of his father's features, but had the patience and most of his personality from his mother. Andromeda was suggested by a starry eyed Galena, convincing Y/n to name part of her child's name to be the name of a galaxy. 

The second child stood next to him, clutching his older brother's hand. Their second child, Nicholas Anguis Eucliffe was a well behaved boy, never crossing the boundary with his parents' words and following all the family rules. He'd inherited his father's features again, but took all of his mother's personality.

The third one was Leo, a troublemaker and a rebellious little prick. He'd gotten his mother's features, his father's feisty attitude, and some of Y/n's animalistic instincts. Lastly, the youngest was Eliora Mavis Eucliffe. She was coddled in her mother's arms. She had bright, shining eyes and had inherited everything from her mother.

She was calm and careful, but tended to get scared easily. Let's just say that she was the baby that cried the most. Y/n wasn't even sure where 'Mavis' came from, but after giving birth to her, it was final. She had taken one look at her previous Fairy Tail mark and felt this urge to name her so, feeling content with the chosen name for her little princess.

"Okay, now stay still," Sting mumbled, sighing as Leo finally settled into his arms. Weiss straightened up, Nicholas tightening the hold on his hand and copying his brother's behavior. Nicholas looked up to Weiss a lot and it was clear. Reedus chuckled, "All set?" Y/n responded with a tired nod and a small, amused smile.

The painter's lips stretched into a smile, "Good, now cheese!"

The Eucliffe family chorused, "CHEESE!"

Leo wriggled out of his father's grasp, transforming into a small cat in the process as he landed easily. He scampered around, ruining Reedus's perfect view as the painting ended up with a h/c blur on the far left, the rest of them panicking and either moving in a blur or smiling like a cliché family. Reedus took the painting off the stand, turning it to face them.

Weiss sighed, disappointed as Nicholas just blinked at the painting, internally hating his brother for his misbehavior. Sting chuckled, wrapping an arm around his wife who seemed equally as exhausted with Leo's behavior and bursts of energy.

"IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE REALISTIC THAN THAT."
