Like a Fairytale

Ellie Hiddleston

I was woken up by a bird singing it's sweet song. Sunlight flooded into my room from the opened curtains. I stretched out before getting out of the soft bed. I opened my eyes a little bit then suddenly realized getting adopted by Tom wasn't a dream. It was real. I walked towards my closet and changing into my outfit I had chosen. (Outfit above) I couldn't help but smile. I curled my hair and slid on my shoes before making my way down the stairs. I wonder where Tom was. I looked around the living room. He wasn't there. I looked in the kitchen. Nothing. Where is he?
Tom's P.O.V
I woke up slowly from dreaming. It felt so real. I was thinking about seeing Ellie today at the library. I got out of bed and changed into a grey sweater and jeans. I walked out of my bedroom and down the hallway to see a door wide open. It was the room I was getting ready for Ellie. I was going to be adopting her soon for a surprise. The door had been opened. It wasn't open last night. I looked inside to see a suit case and the bed sheets looking like someone had slept in the bed. Then I realized my dream was no dream. I had adopted Ellie last night. I walked down stairs to see Ellie trying to get a bowl. "Need some help?" I asked her. Startled she turned and let out a yelp. I let out a laugh as the cabinet door shut.
"You scared me" she said smiling.
"I can see that" he said smiling at her. I walked over to her and opened the cabinet getting her the bowl she wanted. I put it on the counter beside her.
"Do you have cereal?" She asked. I gave her a nod before getting a box of cereal. I poured the cereal into a bowl. I couldn't believe it. I had adopted Ellie. Ellie decided to break the awkward silence.
"So are we going to the library today?" She asked sitting down on the stool as I poured milk into the bowl.
"If you'd like too" I said getting her a spoon. I pushed the bowl towards her and gave her the spoon. She scooped up some cereal and shoveled it into her mouth. She chewed her food slowly.
Ellie's P.O.V
This is very awkward... It feels strange having a father. I haven't had one in 11 years. He must feel the same way about having a daughter. He basically watched my every move. This is very awkward. My name wasn't Ellie Dawson anymore... It was now Ellie Hiddleston. I will admit it sounds better. Tom seemed to be nervous about being a father. I was nervous about being his daughter. I finished eating my cereal and pushed the bowl towards Tom. I wiped my mouth with my cardigan sleeve. Tom broke the silence.
"If you'd like we could go now" he said smiling.
"Okay" I said getting off the stool. I looked up at Tom... Why is he so tall? Why am I so short? We exited the house and started walking towards the library. We entered and Margret smiled at us.
"You two coming here at the same time! Wow" Nana said.
"Actually we'll be coming here together from now on" Tom said as we walked to the counter.
"What you guys have a time schedule?" Margret asked.
"No. Tom actually adopted me" I said smiling then laughed when Nana's jaw dropped.
"That's amazing news sweetie!" Nana said walking over and hugged me. She always smelled like freshly baked cookies and cake.
"I'm so happy!" Margret said with a kind smile. Me and Tom got our usual coffee and cookies from Nana's cafe. I helped Margret with putting books back and unboxing new books that had arrived. After a long day me and Tom went back home and are supper then went to bed. It's kind of fun living with him.
