A/N: So I knew I had wrote more for this story awhile ago, but for the life of me I couldn't find it on my computer so I started to rewrite chapter 20. Then of course later I found it so I ended up putting it together so you will get more story from it! I might put a few chapters up this weekend too, just to get what I have out to you! I can only upload about ten pages at a time for some reason so I might just put them up in separate chapters! Here is chapter 20, hope you like it! Enjoy! :) Oh and thanks for the reviews for Chapter 19! Love hearing from you!
Emma and Ella
Chapter 20: Finally Home
David drove up and came up to pick up Ella from the wheelchair. Snow started to the truck with Emma.
"Scoot all the way over, sweetie." Snow said before getting in beside her so David could put Ella right beside her. Snow was then in between her girls.
David set Ella in the truck and Snow helped get her seatbelt on.
"I'll just call ahead to get our orders to go so we can go home after we pick the food up." Snow said as she grabbed her phone out of her pocket.
"Good idea." David said as he noticed the girls yawning and leaning their heads against Snow's arms.
After picking up the food, David got back in the truck and drove his family home. After he pulled in the drive and parked, David looked over to see that both Ella and Emma were leaning their heads on Snow and asleep.
"They are both exhausted." Snow whispered with a smile that showed she was happy to have both her daughters.
"Let's get our babies to bed." David whispered back and Snow nodded.
"Emma, sweetie." Snow called softly to her daughter as David went around to get Ella out of the truck.
"Tired." Emma told her as she snuggled farther into her mom.
"I know, that's why we have to get inside so we can get you and your sister fed and then to bed." Snow told her as she unbuckled both Ella and Emma.
David opened Ella's door and picked her up. Ella woke at the movement and opened her eyes.
"Cold, Daddy." Ella complained tiredly.
David grinned big at hearing her call him "Daddy" already. "You'll be warm soon, sweetie."
"I'm glad Emma broke the curse." Ella mumbled as he got her to Emma's room. For now, the girls would share Emma's room.
"Me too, kiddo, me too." David responded seriously.
David set Ella down at the table as Snow walked Emma to the table. They then left them to get the food set out.
"Hey Emma." Ella said softly with a serious look on her face.
"Yeah." Emma replied with a curious look.
"Thanks for saving me…" Ella said softly.
Emma smiled softly. "Well I guess that what I was supposed to do since apparently I'm the savior." Emma teased gently.
"I know, but I am still grateful….and sorry, I know that taking the bite from that turnover put you through a lot." Ella said, knowing that her sister went through a lot to try to save her.
"Hey, you don't have to apologize to me. I would do anything for my family." Emma said with grin. "But I would prefer it if you stay away from anymore apples or sleeping curses…" She added with a grin.
"No problem, I don't like the dark and that place was nothing, but darkness." Ella replied.
Emma smiled before looking back at her new found parents. "This is going to be so weird, having actual parents. I began to lose hope that this would ever happen, well until David came along, but even then I wasn't expecting this to come out of it."
Ella smiled. "I hoped it would and this is turning out better than I ever hoped. Originally, I didn't realize I had a sister, but I am so glad I do."
"Me too." Emma said with a grin.
*****OUAT*****
David set Ella on the chair in Emma's room as Snow and Emma came into the room as well. "Oh we don't have any of her stuff or yours for that matter." David said with a frown.
"It's alright. I'm sure Emma has something Ella can wear to bed and tomorrow I can head over to my place to get some of my things." Snow told him.
"Ella's stuff is going to have to wait though…" David said with a meaningful look.
Ella looked from her mom to dad with a frown. "But my crutches and everything else is there."
David gave her a sympathetic grimace. "We will get your crutches and the rest of the stuff when we can, okay?" He told her.
"I could go get her stuff for her." Emma said softly.
"No. Neither of you will be going anywhere near Regina's house or Regina. Got it?" David asked them sternly.
"Yes, Dad." Emma said quietly.
David turned to Ella with an expectant look.
Ella looked at him with wide eyes. She wanted her stuff and she could probably sneak over there and get her things without Regina even knowing she was there. It would be easier for her to go then her parents to go.
"Ella." David said softly.
"Okay." Ella said even though she was still thinking of getting her stuff herself.
"We mean it." Snow warned both girls. "There will be consequences if either of you even try to sneak out to her house."
Emma and Ella looked up at their mom and knew that Snow White was going to be even tougher than Mary Margaret was.
"Alright, let's get you to ready for bed." Snow said.
David found pajamas for Ella and gave them to Snow before getting some for Emma as well. He handed them to her and she left to put them on in the bathroom.
"Don't forget to brush your teeth, Em." David told her as he left the room with her, leaving Ella some privacy as Snow helped her change for bed.
"I won't." Emma said with a yawn as she went into the bathroom.
*****OUAT*****
"Crawl in bed, kiddo." David told Emma as he set Ella down in bed.
As Emma got in bed, Snow came over to help tuck Emma in and kissed her forehead. "Sweet dreams, Emma. Love you." Snow told her sweetly.
David put a pillow under Ella's injured leg and then pulled the blanket up to her chin before tucking the blankets in around her. "Goodnight, sweet girl. I love you." David told her quietly before kissing her forehead.
David and Snow switched spots.
"Sweet dreams, baby girl. Love you." Snow said before kissing Ella's forehead.
"Goodnight, sweetie. I love you." David told her quietly before kissing Emma's forehead.
David and Snow headed towards the door quietly since both girls were already starting to fall asleep. David turned the lights off, but the left the door cracked open. David then took Snow's hand and lead her to their room.
*****OUAT*****
7:30 am
"How did we not know?" David said as David and Snow stood in the girls' doorway watching them sleep.
"I knew they looked a like, but I didn't think past that." Snow whispered back quietly.
"Me too, but still I feel like I should have realized it." David said with a confused look.
"I think the curse prevented us from really knowing they were our kids, but I know that I felt a special connection with both girls and you. It was like I already knew you and Emma when we meet."
David smiled. "I did too."
"Come on, let's go make some breakfast." Snow said as she pulled on his arm.
David and Snow headed downstairs to make breakfast and discuss their plans for the day. They still had to get Ella's prescription, Snow's things, and Ella's things. They just had a problem. They both didn't want to leave the girls, but they both needed to got to Regina's to get Ella's things. They finally figured it out and decided that Snow would go gather her things and get Ella's prescription before coming home. David and Snow would later go to Regina's when Ruby or Granny would watch the kids. They didn't want to leave the girls, but they also didn't want just one of them to go alone to Regina's even though both were willing to go alone.
David and Snow heard a door shut upstairs and knew the girls were waking up.
"Better get up there before Ella tries walking." David said with a smirk.
"How do you know she hasn't already?" Snow said with a chuckle.
David frowned before hurrying up the stairs. He went into the room and sighed. Ella was still in bed, but awake.
"Good morning, Ella." David said as he came in the room and sat on the side of her bed.
"Morning." Ella told him with a yawn.
"How are you feeling?" David asked as he cupped her cheek.
Ella shrugged. If she were to be honest, she wasn't feeling the greatest. Her chest and ribs felt really sore and her leg was hurting as well.
"Not too good?" David asked seeing that she wasn't feeling good. "Well you are going to rest today and your mother is going to get your medicine in a little bit."
"I don't need medicine." Ella told him quickly.
David smiled softly at her. "Are you hungry?"
Ella nodded her head as Emma came into their room.
"Good morning, Em. Ready for breakfast?" David asked as he looked over at her with a smile.
Emma nodded.
"Good. Your mom and I made pancakes so why don't we head down there." David said as he started to pick up Ella.
"I can walk, Dad." Ella complained.
"But you won't be walking today, will you?" David said with raised eyebrows.
"No." Ella replied reluctantly.
"Good. Now do you need to use the bathroom?" David asked softly.
Ella nodded.
After Ella went to the bathroom, David carried her downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning girls." Snow said as David carried Ella in as Emma walked ahead of them. She walked over and kissed Emma's cheek before kissing Ella's cheek.
"Morning, Mom." Ella greeted her. She had missed her mom while she had been at Regina's. It was nice to be back with her. It was even nicer to have her whole family now that the curse was broke.
David set Ella on one of the chairs being careful of her leg. "There you go, kiddo." David patted her head before heading towards the kitchen to help get the girls breakfast on the table, as he passed Emma he kissed the top of her head.
She smiled to herself after he did.
"How you doing?" Ella whispered to her sister. "With everything…"
Emma scrunched up her face. "I feel like….I feel like this is just a dream and I am going to wake up… and this all is just going to be just a dream."
"I know." Ella agreed, besides that she didn't feel exactly the same way being that she had believed in it all for a long time. "It's kind of weird having a mom and a dad." Ella whispered back.
Emma smiled. "Yeah it is, but nice."
"Definitely." Ella responded. "It's also nice to have a sister."
"Definitely." Emma said with a grin.
David and Snow brought the food and the family ate breakfast together. Snow and David glanced at each other as Emma and Ella talked about the dragon and the events that happened the day before. They both were finally home. Home wasn't just a house, but it was each other and now it included their daughters. They were finally home and it felt wonderful.
