Please enjoy the following short stories of Olivia and Ellie. Each chapter will represent moments from the each year of their lives. I loved these girls too much to not continue to write about them. I hope you enjoy this. I can't wait to get to the chapters where they are a little older. Please send me a message if there are stories/subjects/prompts you would like to see. Thank you! Happy Reading!

It was the first week of December, the Christmas tree was up and completely decorated, the front of the house was adorned with Christmas lights and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. Robin, Regina and the boys had spent the afternoon perfecting the placement of every ornament while Olivia played with the empty boxes. Regina stood back and admired their work, she was very impressed.

Henry hadn't complained one time about having to spend the first week of Christmas vacation decorating the mansion instead of hanging out with friends. In fact, he had thoroughly enjoyed it. He loved being with his family, watching Roland's excitement at all the lights and his baby sister, Olivia, was amazing.

Roland was currently sitting next to the tree watching his little sister trying to unroll a roll of wrapping paper. She was making a big mess of the paper and he was laughing at how happy she was doing this. She was laughing at the sound the paper would make when she hit it with both hands.

The doorbell rang and Robin went to answer it with Olivia now following behind him. Killian and Emma were bringing Ellie to play with Olivia. Robin, Henry, Roland and Killian were going on an overnight fishing trip on the Jolly Roger.

Regina loved having the girls together because they entertained each other, and because they were just so adorable.

"Welcome, come in." Robin held the door open.

"I see your little tyke is getting around quite well too." Killian said with a smile. He sat Ellie down and as soon as her feet hit the ground she and Olivia were toddling off to the play area in the den.

"We definitely have our work cut out for us keeping up with these two." Robin laughed.

"Are you guys ready to board the Jolly Roger for a fun filled fishing trip?" Killian asked the boys.

"Yes!" Roland shouted. "I'm going to go get my bag!"

"Are you going to be ok with this little love?" Robin asked Regina while kissing Olivia on the cheek.

"Yes, we will be just fine. Emma will be here for a bit with Ellie and that will tire her out." Regina took Olivia from her father.

The men and boys left for their fishing trip, Regina and Emma sat drinking hot cider, watching the girls play and listening to Christmas music. Regina was smiling as she listened to the girls babble to each other. She was sure they had their own secret language. She was lost in thought for quite some time wondering what they would grow up to be or if they would have magic. The bond between the two girls was already so obvious.

Regina turned to find Emma staring at her smiling. "What are you smiling at Swan?"

Emma's spread even wider. "You. You've become an old softy."

"First of all I am not an "old" anything. Secondly, don't make me throw you out of my house." Regina straightened in her chair.

"You wouldn't do that." Emma said with confidence.

"What makes you so sure?" Regina challenged.

"You love my baby." Emma said plainly.

Regina pondered that thought for a moment. Ellie had actually died during birth and Regina had used magic and brought her back. She would be lying if she said she didn't love Ellie like one of her own children. Technically it was both Emma and Regina that had given Ellie life. "Well, its safe to say that I would never throw Ellie out. Not sure I can say the same for you." She smiled.

"I'm pretty certain, I'm safe." Emma smiled back at her friend. "You know Regina, just a few years ago we were sitting in this same room, drinking this same cider, but you were trying to kill me. Who would have ever thought that we would be sitting here today as best friends with daughters who are best friends?"

"Best friends is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?" Regina scoffed.

"Nope. You are my best friend." Emma assured her.

"Where are the girls?" Regina asking rising from her chair. While they had been talking the girls hand managed to sneak out of the room. "Olivia!" Regina called.

Regina's call was answered by a loud crash that had both mother's running into the dining room. When they entered the dining room, they found the girls had pulled the table cloth off the table and a basket of red apples had fallen to the floor. The girls were currently taking bites of apples and throwing them back on the floor.

"Apples huh?" Regina smiled picking the fallen basket and apples off the floor.

"You girls could have been hurt." Emma said helping to clean up the mess.

"These girls are in to everything. Look! There they go again. I'll finish picking up the apples. You go make sure the baby gate is up at the bottom of the stairs." Regina motioned toward the stairs.

"Got it." Emma saluted and headed toward the foyer. "They aren't at the stairs. They are in the pantry!" Emma yelled back.

"Get them out of the pantry." Regina called straightening out the table cloth again.

"They got in to the flour and it's everywhere." Emma called back.

"Seriously Ms. Swan?" Regina sighed.

From the moment these girls became mobile, there wasn't a day that went by that they weren't getting in to everything they possibly could. As soon as the flour mess was cleaned up, they then found the girls under the Christmas Tree unwrapping presents. Regina decided it was nap time for the two trouble makers.

"I need a drink and nap." Regina said with a sigh once the girls were asleep.

"Me too." Emma flopped in the chair.

Before either one could make a drink, they had both drifted off to sleep in their chairs.

Thank you for reading. The coming chapters should be a bit more exciting. In the next chapter we will be seeing the terrible twos! Please review and let me know if you are interested in more.
