Getting complete value from ElasticSearch query

Question

I have the following structure on my ElasticSearch:

{
    _index: 3_exposureindex
    _type: exposuresearch
    _id: 12738
    _version: 4
    _score: 1
    _source: {
        Name: test2_update
        Description:
        CreateUserId: 8
        SourceId: null
        Id: 12738
        ExposureId: 12738
        CreateDate: 2014-06-20T16:18:50.500
        UpdateDate: 2014-06-20T16:19:57.547
        UpdateUserId: 8
    }
    fields: {
        _parent: 1
    }
}

I am trying to get both, the data in _source as well as that in fields, when I run the query:

{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "Id": [
        "12738"
      ]
    }
  }
}

All I get are the values contained in _source, whereas, if I run the query:

{
  "fields": [
    "_parent"
  ],
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "Id": [
        "12738"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then I only the fields. Is there a way to get both? I will be grateful for any help.

You shoud be able to specify "_source" in the "fields"

Example:

{
  "fields": [
    "_parent",
    "_source"
  ],
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "Id": [
        "12738"
      ]
    }
  }
}
