Emma's Lost Girl Dilemma
Chapter 10
Disclaimers::: I do not own OUAT or it's characters, just my colorful imagination. So now the story is getting very interesting with Cruella back from the dead and Ursula joining in on the fun, not to forget to mention Nyx is Maleficent's grandmother and Lilith is her great aunt. Lily has given birth to Gemma and Reagan.
A/N: I have a new iPad so yay me! I will be posting more now.

Emma shared a look with her wife and smiled before looking at her mother and then Nyx and Lilith. "My sister already knows about you two, and cannot wait to meet you. She's also informed Zelena as well as Cora and Henry Sr."
Regina couldn't help the smirk coming on her face. "Well then, let's not keep them waiting any longer."
Maleficent had a proud smile on her face. "Yes it's time for you to meet Emma's sister." She winked. Soon, they all left in smoke as they headed to where Lily and Zelena were resting within their nest.
The moment they had arrived, Emma and Lily had been conversing mentally as they discussed what was going to happen.
Lily beamed happily, her tail wrapped protectively around their daughters' egg. *So now we have more family to add to ours. Can't wait to get to know them better.*
Nyx beamed as she saw her great granddaughter. She knew what they were saying. *It's a pleasure to meet you too darling.* She moved to look at the egg that Lily was protecting. "They are so beautiful from what I can already see." She murmured before she looked at Zelena. "You're Lily's mate. And you are Regina's sister. Welcome to our family. What a wonderful family you have." She murmured, meeting Maleficent's eyes.
Lilith smiled as she stepped forward. "And I am her twin sister, Lilith." She had a smile of amusement on her face. "It's almost like looking at younger versions of us." She chuckled as she spoke in regards to Emma and Lily. "They even have the same birthmarks we do dear sister."
Nyx smiled knowingly as she shared a look with her sister. "It's been a long time coming. Especially with this revelation Odin shared with our Maleficent. The prophecy regarding these twins all tie in with that. For a long time, dragons were thought to be extinct. Maleficent remained hidden all these years but also feeling lost and alone, not knowing the importance of her very existence. Tiamat, my daughter, even though she should not have been killed, she was. Or so it seems. Our enemy had gotten his hands on a very old weapon to use against her. But as she lay dying, she destroyed this weapon so none would be able to use that very weapon against her bloodline ever again. She vowed she would be reborn again. And she has." Nyx smiled, seeing how everyone was hanging on to her every word.
"Through Maleficent." Lilith smiled, moving to stand with her niece. "The dragons of old were not immortal or powerful. They had some magic yes, but they were not of royal blood. Their blood were not of ours. Through Maleficent and now through her daughters and their children, our blood runs strong through them. We were born out of Chaos. Our sisters and brothers are powerful. We are the first ancients. The ones who have lived through everything and seen life and death of the likes never seen before. We will never die, thanks to Tiamat's sacrifice. She did this so our bloodline would never die down. Ingrid also played a very important role in this too."
Emma shared a look with their mother and with her sister before looking at her wife. "So you're saying because of Tiamat, our family is the start of a new legacy? Our children will be part of a new dynasty? Because of who you are and what is running through our veins…" she thought about what they revealed about Henry and Jessica. "Wow… that's something isn't it? And now our enemies… those who have hurt us, hurt our family…" a dark feral smile came on her face. "For them… the shit is about to hit the fan." She smirked.
Regina gave a low chuckle. Under normal circumstances, she would have been bothered by Emma's choice of words, but things were changing and would no longer be the same. She thought about what Lilith said regarding her immortality and how Emma had given it to her. To hear them talking about their family like that, she couldn't help but to be proud to be a part of Emma's life right now. The queen inside her, liked that so very much. She thought about the changes their older children were going through and realized they were witnessing something very new now. She realized something then. Zelena had yet to find out she was now immortal. She shared a look with Emma, wondering if that was something Lily discussed with her mate yet. "When you made me immortal, is that something Lily could do with Zelena?"
Nyx and Lilith laughed softly. "You're finally getting the gist of things now. They won't know what bit them… literally." Lilith winked.
Maleficent laughed. "And that's just right up my alley." She was so glad she called them and that they explained everything so much more clearly to them. She felt so much relief knowing they would be there for her and for her family. It made all the stress seem to go away, knowing she would be free to be herself now that she had a purpose in her life. She looked forward to sharing all that with Ingrid. "So you two are going to stay with us for a while then?" She wanted to make sure they didn't plan to get up and leave anytime soon.
Nyx moved to cup Maleficent's face in her hands. "You couldn't get rid of us even if you tried. You brought us here and this is a family matter. We will stay as long as you need us darling. Besides, we want to meet your friends and to keep an eye on things in this quaint little town."
Lilith chuckled as she added, "We want to see how Henry and Jessica deal with who they are. And we want to see those people who did this to your family pay." She licked her lips, her fangs showing.
Zelena grinned wickedly. "Lily and I discussed this after she told me what you gave my sister. Once she is back in her other form, she is going to give me the same gift." She winked. "I'm so glad we had this conversation because there's nothing I wouldn't do for my wife and my best friend. Anything for our family, consider it done." She was itching to do something wicked just for the heck of it. She shared a knowing smile with her sister as they started realizing just what they were now a part of. She and Lily were sitting close to the egg that held their daughters. Zelena knew she would protect their family no matter what. Robyn reached out to her, wanting to be with her mama.
Regina was glad to hear that was something her sister wanted too. She then realized she was getting hungry. "Maybe we should go to Granny's. Is there anything you'd like us to bring you three?" She asked Zelena and Lily. After promising to get them something to eat, they headed out as a family.
########
Elsa was seated with Ruby and her family. After learning more of what happened and meeting Anita and finding out more about who Skadi was, she was very intrigued. "So your mom hooked up with… what does that make you? My grandmother? But how does that work? If you're a goddess… how could my mother not have powers? I thought gods couldn't die… yet Anna's and my mother and father died…?" She was confused about the whole thing and trying to make some sense about it.
Skadi looked at Elsa and took her hand into her own. "I doubt they were really your parents. Ingrid is my daughter. She and I share the same powers. The same blood running in your veins. I'm surprised no one has noticed how much alike you and Ingrid are. You're too much cut from the same cloth to be just her niece. I know my children. Your so called mother is not my daughter."
Elsa felt dread in the pit of her stomach as she realized what Skadi was saying to her. "What do you mean? How can she not be… but she looks so much like Anna…"
Ruby's eyes widened in surprise as she realized what Skadi was getting at. She sniffed the air, noticing that Skadi and Elsa shared much of the same scent. "Hold On Elsa. You're her family. But that would mean… how could that happen…" she cursed under her breath. "Someone lied to Ingrid? You three look so much alike… platinum blonde hair and all…"
Elsa had snowflakes floating around her as she was starting to get upset. "But Anna… she's my sister." She didn't like the possibility that Anna wouldn't be her sister... not one bit.
########
Just then, the door to the diner opened and Emma, Regina, Maleficent, Ingrid And some others arrived. They could see Ruby and Anita and Skadi there with Elsa and Granny. Something had clearly happened.
Emma couldn't help but to be concerned. "Is everything okay here?" She noticed how upset Elsa was.
Ingrid frowned. "Elsa, you're upset. What happened?" She turned to look at her mother.
Skadi looked at her daughter. "I was telling her how much you and Elsa are cut from the same cloth. I don't think she is your niece. If she were, your sisters would not have been mortals. I'm sorry, it just surprises me that you did not notice this about Elsa.
Emma frowned as she stepped forward, moving closer to Elsa. She inhaled deeply as she tried to figure out what was going on. "You smell like Ingrid…" she then looked at Maleficent. "She smells like you too."
Maleficent and Ingrid shared a look of utter surprise and shock as they moved closer to Elsa.
"How have I not seen this before?" Maleficent inhaled deeply. "You can smell her, but I cannot? Another curse?" Her eyes began to glow.
Emma sighed deeply as it hit her. "The same curse that was placed on me… Elsa is our sister? The blue fairy?" She asked.
Skadi remembered everything Emma and Regina and Maleficent had shared with her earlier. "I'm afraid not. Someone else also has had it against my family for so long. They did this on purpose to hurt my family."
Ingrid moved immediately to Elsa and took her into her arms. The moment she did, a whooshing sound came and a white glow enveloped them as she got some memories back. "I… I gave birth to you. Oh Elsa…"
Maleficent's eyes grew wide. "I got you with child. Just as you gave me our girls, I gave you Elsa?" She moved to join Ingrid and Elsa. "Who did this to us?"
Emma was stunned by the turn of events. She couldn't understand the atrocities that had been done to her family. She vowed then, this wouldn't happen again. She heard Lily's shock and surprise as she saw what was happening through her. She could feel her sister's rage and felt her own rage burning deep inside. She wanted so much to protect Elsa but knew her sister could protect herself. She couldn't help but to smirk as she realized her family was growing again.
Elsa felt her parents' love as they took her into their arms. The snowflakes stopped floating around her as she realized what this meant. Anna was the rightful ruler of Arendelle. But that didn't mean she would ever stop being her sister. They'd been through so much as a family. "I'm going to have to talk with Anna and take care of some things. I will be back as soon as I tie up the loose ends. And then I want to find out how I ended up with this life of lies."
Ruby nodded. "Do you want me to go with you?" She asked, wanting to be there for Elsa. It infuriated her that things like this kept happening with her friends. She felt so protective of them and thankful to have them in her life. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have her mother back in her life.
Elsa smiled as she moved over to Ruby and hugged her. "Stay here. You just got your mother back. I promise it won't take me long to take care of this. Besides, I need to talk with Anna. When I get back, I want to get to know my family better." She smiled at Emma and looked over at the others who were there. She wondered who they were.
Emma smiled as she moved and hugged her sister. "We'll be here and we will have another story to share with you." She chuckled.
Elsa nodded. "Thank you." She smiled when Amelia reached out to her. She took her niece in her arms and was hit by the fact this was her family now. "Thank you Amelia." She murmured, giving her back to Emma and caressing Aliana and Alexander's heads gently. She allowed Regina to hug her before she hugged Ingrid and Maleficent and then left.
Anita moved to wrap her arms around Ruby's shoulders. "She's going to be okay." She murmured.
########
Nyx and Lilith sat with everyone there at the diner as Granny closed her restaurant for a private family dinner. They filled in the others about who they were and what they'd just discovered. Granny and Ruby as well as Anita were surprised to learn more about them. Especially Ruby as she learned more about Elsa's legacy. She knew she would be there for her every step of the way. This was where Maleficent came from and this was the other half of Emma and Lily's as well as Elsa's heritage.
Skadi smiled as she also filled them in on more of her side of the family history. She spoke of Ingrid's other siblings and who and what they were.
Anita looked at Emma. "My daughter has informed me that you're interested in helping us to find out more about our family and history. I never really paid much attention to what my mother wanted to share with me. I was angry much of my life and I finally heard her out before you all joined us." She smiled as she turned to look at Ruby. "Her father was the Alpha King of our tribe. But then he disappeared. Never to be seen again. Looks like he met the same fate my father did."
Granny nodded. "My husband disappeared too. I do not know what became of him. Both Anita and Ruby are Royal wolves. I never knew much about my own parents. I was told my parents were both descended from gypsies. My mother did mention once that her mother was hiding a secret about our family lineage. There were rumors that either she or her mother were of Royal descent... a lost princess who had been sent into hiding when supposedly her father was the next in line to be the Alpha King."
Ruby was intrigued by what she was learning about her own family. "I'm getting goosebumps!" She laughed as she rubbed her arms.
Emma chuckled when she heard what Ruby was saying. "Now you see why I'm so fascinated by history. Especially when everything falls into place and starts making better sense." She then remembered when her mother mentioned helping Ruby's grandfather. She turned and looked at Maleficent. "Did Granny's husband ever say anything to you about his family? Maybe there's a clue to where they could have gone." She really wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery of what happened to him.
Granny turned to look at Maleficent, wondering just how much the dragon knew about her husband. She could use more information since her husband refused to talk about his family for some reason.
Maleficent smiled when she saw how the wolves had their attention on her. "Your husband had many names. But one thing that remained true is where your last name came from. It came from his first name." She nodded at Granny. "Your parents were gypsies yes." She moved closer to her and inhaled deeply. "Your grandmother was Royal, your mother was a princess. But they were human. Because of your royal blood, when you were bitten, your bloodline doubled with gypsy blood caused you to be powerful enough to continue the line with Anita who in turn had given the same blood to Ruby. Your husband knew this about you and used it to his advantage. He knew many would want to fight for you to be their mate so he mated with you and protected you from afar, ensuring that your family would be safe. Your husband was the son of the most powerful Alpha King, Lucian. He is over 800 years old. It is said that his father is Zeus himself." Maleficent smiled as she moved over to Anita. "As for Ruby's father…"
Anita smiled, "Adair. That was his name."
Maleficent nodded. "Yes, his identity is shrouded in mystery. He is said to be a legend. But he was also Alpha of his clan, or so he said. But there is clearly more to him. Some say he died, others say he lives with his mother. I'm not sure if he is the one and same, but if he is… his mother is known as the phantom Queen. I will see if I can find out more about that." She promised.
Anita and Ruby shared a look, feeling as if they'd learned more about their family. "Thank you for sharing all this with us. It does help me to get a better understanding of our family." Anita replied.
Skadi nodded as she hugged her. "I will also see what I can find out. I know about Zeus. He does sometimes like to turn into a wolf. I will see f there is any truth to this Lucian if he is in fact Zeus' son."
Granny sighed. "Maybe there is a reason why my husband didn't want to talk about his family. Whatever the reason is… thank you."
Emma smiled as they decided to change the subject for now, talking instead more about what they planned to do, and what they discovered about Malcolm and Felix's involvements with Henry and Jessica. "I now have a listing of names of people who were associated with them and with the black market."
Regina smiled as she moved closer to Emma. "I cannot wait to take care of this with you." She murmured, taking Emma's hand and putting it on her abdomen.
Nyx chuckled knowingly, "And we will as a family." She and Lilith agreed.
Cruella looked at everyone, feeling slightly overwhelmed by everything they'd heard. "This is all very fascinating. I'm starting to think this town and it's people are probably too small for you all."
Ursula laughed softly. "I wonder if any of you will be able to cross that town line."
Nyx chuckled with amusement. "You mean the magical barrier around this place?"
Emma smiled. "I can. So can my sister… hmmm I wonder…"
Maleficent nodded. "I think we probably could now. We did bring Jessica back with us. I'm not sure about the others who live here… especially those Regina brought back from the Enchanted Forest. I suppose we will find out soon enough."
Regina chuckled as a thought came into her head. "Why don't we try and see? It can't hurt to test that theory out. Maybe when Emma and I shared that true love's kiss, it enabled our family to be able to do just that… but then again, some of you may not be able to cross that line."
Henry and Jessica nodded. "Well we were born here so we can. Our siblings probably can too. I doubt the others won't be able to unless they use a magical potion to help them, like grandpa did."
Everyone agreed and some of them decided it was time to stretch their legs and get their bearings around Storybrooke. The Swan-Mills decided it was time to check on Lily and Zelena and the babies before they would go home for the night. Maleficent and Ingrid spent time with Nyx and Lilith as well as Skadi and Anita. Ruby went to see about contacting Elsa and letting her know what she learnt. Henry and Jessica went home and saw Corai and Henry Sr and proceeded to tell them what happened. Things were started no to take a very interesting turn. But best of all, Emma and Regina were more than ready to start hunting down the people responsible for hurting their family.
The moment they returned home with their babies, they took the triplets to the nursery and proceeded to feed them. Regina gasped when Aliana refused the bottle, instead opting to nurse at her breast.
Emma grinned knowingly as she saw what was happening. She loved seeing the look on her wife's face as she finally nursed for the first time. She knew how much this meant to her. Aliana was now bonding even more with her brunette mother and it was something Regina needed. They both lay together, nursing their family.
