Emma and Ella

Chapter 18: Finally, Together

20 minutes earlier (Around 6:30pm) ...

Emma walked nervously towards her parents. They were hugging Granny and Ruby and bunch of other short guys.

She knew she had just seen them, but this was different. They knew who they were and who she was.

Would she be good enough for them? Would they still want her? She hoped so.

She heard her Dad say, "now we find our daughter."

"So its true." Emma said softly from behind them.

They both turned to her.

"Emma." Snow breathed before coming to cup Emma's face in her hands. "You found us." She said before bringing her in for a hug. Charming joined their hug and put his hand on the back of Emma's head.

They pulled apart after a moment and Charming looked confused at Snow. "Wait, who's Ella?"

"Oh my goodness, Ella!" Snow exclaimed as she remembered getting the call that she didn't make it just before the curse broke. She had been wondering around in a daze until Charming found her. "She's…"

Emma looked at her mom confused. "What? No, she's fine. I woke her up. That's how the curse broke." Emma told her quickly.

"What? Really? Is she okay?" Snow asked.

"Well I think so. Dr. Whale wouldn't let her go yet. He said she needed to be checked out first." Emma told her mom.

"Wait. Who is Ella?" David asked again. Still wondering who she was. "Is she really Regina's daughter?"

Snow's eyes widened. "No, she's not Regina's daughter. And she's been with her forthree weeks now! Oh David, we got to go to her now. Regina could try to get her again."

"We will, but if she's not Regina's daughter, who's daughter is she?"

Snow looked up at him with an amused smile. "I think you know whose daughter she is." Snow said with a kind smile. "She's our daughter. She came five minutes after Emma. Shortly after you left to put Emma in the wardrobe."

David smiled. "Ella is my daughter too? I have two daughters?"

Snow smiled back and took his hand in hers. "Yes. But we better get to Ella."

David nodded and then took Emma's hand.

"Wait so Ella is my sister?" Emma asked with a little smile forming on her lips.

"Yes, honey." Snow said with a grin. Her family was about to be whole again and she couldn't wait. She had a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters. The curse was broken and they could all finally be happy.

*****OUAT*****

"What do you mean she isn't here?" David asked in an irritated voice.

"Just that. She must have snuck off when we weren't looking, but she needs to be here. I haven't gotten to thoroughly examine her. Plus I need to check her leg. I don't think it has been healing properly." Dr. Whale answered.

"We'll find her and bring her back." Snow said before turning to her husband. "We have to find her. It's getting dark and I don't want to think of what would happen if Regina found her first."

"We will. Where do you think she would have gone?" David asked.

"Her castle." Emma said. "She always goes there."

"That's true." Snow said.

"Let's go." David said and they were off to find Ella.

*****OUAT*****

"Ella." Snow said softly as she rubbed her back. Ella had fallen asleep crying and after all that had happened, she was worn out.

Ella lifted her head to see her mom sitting by her on the landing of the castle. It was dark now with only the street light lighting up the castle. She immediately hugged her.

"Shh. I'm here, sweetie." Snow said as she hugged her back. "What are you doing here, honey?"

Ella shrugged her shoulders.

"You should be in the hospital still. They haven't discharged you." Snow said softly. "David? Can you carry her?"

"You don't need to take me. I can take care of myself." Ella said stiffly. She didn't want to be a burden to them since she wasn't their daughter.

Snow and David exchanged a confused look. "What's this about, Ella?" David asked softly.

"Don't pretend to care. I am not yours or anyone's and I know you guys don't want me." Ella told them with a frown.

Snow and David exchanged another look, this one a bit amused.

"Ella, honey, you are our daughter." Snow said softly with a kind smile.

Ella rolled her eyes. "I know you adopted me, but I am not your real daughter, not like Emma."

"Ella, you are our real daughter, you're Emma's twin sister. I had you five minutes after I had Emma. Your Dad wasn't there because he was putting Emma in the wardrobe. It was a miracle that you ended up on my doorstep in the curse and I was able to raise you." Snow told her softly.

"So I am yours, for sure? Not Regina's?" Ella asked hopefully.

"Yes, honey. You were never Regina's and never will be. I'm sorry that you had to live with her." Snow answered.

"I missed you." Ella said quietly, looking at her mom with sad eyes.

"We missed you too." Snow said as she quickly hugged Ella again. "Now, we have to get you back to the hospital." Snow said when she pulled away and then looked at David and nodded.

"Come on, sweetheart." David said as he scooped her up in his arms before getting down from the castle.

Snow went ahead of them and put an arm around Emma to guide her back to the truck.

"So you're my Dad?" Ella asked shyly.

David smiled. "I guess so." David said softly before kissing her head.

Ella smiled because she could tell he was happy about it. "I've never had a Dad before." She said shyly.

"Well now you do, kid." David said with a grin before once again, kissing her forehead.

*****OUAT*****

"Is it really necessary to go back to the hospital?" Ella asked as she was sitting in between her mother and Emma. Her Dad was driving the truck.

As a response, she got two yeses and one no, the no being from Emma.

Snow and Charming both glanced at Emma with frowns.

"What? I agree with Ella. She's fine." Emma said with a cheeky grin.

"So it's a tie!" Ella said. "And since it's about me, I get an extra vote and I say no!"

Charming and Snow exchanged an amused look.

"Well since your mother and I are the parents, we each get two votes. So then the end score would be 4 to 3 in favor of you going back to the hospital."

"That's not fair. That means you two always win." Ella said with a pout.

"Exactly." David said with a smirk.

Emma and Ella looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"Speaking of hospitals and doctor visits, did Regina take you to any of your doctor's appointments?" Snow asked in worry.

"Uh well she took me to the first one and Whale put my leg in a boot." Ella said in a bored voice.

"Did she take you to any others?" Snow asked in worry.

Ella shook her head no.

David narrowed his eyes. "So is that when Dr. Whale told you that you could stop using your crutches?"

Ella bit her lip. He had never told her she could stop using them, but she figured it was okay since he put her in a walking boot. Besides that he did tell her to still use her crutches since her leg wasn't ready to bear all her weight. "Uh yeah, I guess it was."

"So you only went to one appointment when you were with her?" Snow asked.

"Yeah." Ella said.

"Well we are going to have him check your leg when we are there." Snow said firmly with her mind made up.

David nodded in agreement.

"But it's fine." Ella whined.

"We will let Dr. Whale decide that." David interrupted firmly.

Ella grimaced and Emma gave her a sympathetic look. She knew that Ella didn't get permission to stop using her crutches. She also knew that Ella had told her recently that her leg had really been hurting her and she thought she might have re injured it.

Emma wasn't sure how to feel at the moment. She was in the truck with not just her parents or Mary Margaret and David, but Snow White and Prince Charming! Would they be different than their Storybrooke selves or different? They seemed similar, but they seemed to have more silent conversations. They knew what each were thinking without saying anything. She had been watching them. She just felt like it was different now, which wasn't a bad thing.

*****OUAT*****

"I'm thinking once we are done here, we better get some dinner. I'm guessing neither of the girls ate since everything happened." Snow told David as they waited for Doctor Whale to come check on Ella.

"Yeah, I was busy sleeping." Ella said with a smirk.

"And I was busy fighting a dragon." Emma said in a distracted tone.

David, Snow, and Ella all looked at her with surprised looks.

Emma looked up to see their looks. "What?"

"You fought a dragon?!" Ella asked in excitement as the same time as her parents responded.

"You WHAT?!" David asked.

"Are you alright?" Snow asked in concern as her eyes roamed over her body for possible injuries.

Emma's eyes widened. "I'm fine…." She said slowly. "Gold said that their was magic in the dragon that I could use to save Ella, but then he ran off with the egg."

"Wait? There was an egg with magic in it inside of a dragon and Mr. Gold sent you to fight the dragon on your own?"

"Yeah, he said I had to kill it to save Ella." Emma said.

"And you killed it?" Ella asked in excitement.

"Yeah, somehow." Emma replied with a sheepish grin.

"What did you kill it with?"

Emma glanced at her Dad would was looking baffled and anger, most likely angry at Mr. Gold for sending her to fight a dragon on her own. "With Dad's sword." Emma said softly.

"Cool!" Ella said in awe of what her sister did. She had been on an adventure and broke the curse!

"You used my sword?" David said slowly with pride in his voice and Emma nodded. "And you defeated the dragon on your own?"

Emma nodded again.

David smiled, obviously proud of his daughter, but then he looked over at his wife who was glaring at him.

"Are you alright? Fighting a dragon is dangerous. You could have been seriously injured. Where was this?" Snow asked in a voice full of worry.

"I was fine and it was below the library, there's a secret elevator that goes down to the caves."

"I knew it! The mines did have evidence! I was right." Ella exclaimed.

"Yeah, they did." Emma said with wide eyes at remembering seeing the glass coffin. She didn't really like seeing that. She didn't want to think of her mom in a coffin.

"We should down there again and explore." Ella said to Emma.

"Neither of you are going back down there again." David said firmly.

"And neither of you will ever go against a dragon either. It's too dangerous." Snow added.

"Or purposely eat a poisonous apple." David added looking straight at Ella.

"If I hadn't, Emma wouldn't have been able to break the curse…" Ella said in an unashamed look.

"That is true, Dad." Emma piped up with a grin.

David smiled as he shook his head in both frustration and amusement at his girls sticking together. "I still would prefer from now on that both of you not put yourselves in danger."

"I agree. No more dragons or apples. Got it?" Snow asked with a firm look.

Emma and Ella looked at each other with mischievous smiles as just Whale came in the room to start his examine on Ella.
