Takes place after Emma finds out David threatened Hook and told him to stay away from her.

Emma storms past Charming telling him they had to talk. Snow looks at Charming.

"She sounds like me when I found out the sword was fake, those the exact words I used." Charming nods and goes to follow his daughter. He finds her and she's leaning against a tree.

"What's this about?"

"Stop inferring in my personal life! Hook told me that he was told to stay away from me. I know Mary Margret wouldn't do that, neither would Regina, and Hook sure as hell wouldn't tell himself to stay away from me so that only leaves you!"

"I'm only looking out for you. Hook is a pirate, they aren't exactly known for being kind."

"He offered his ship to help find Henry, he could've left with the last bean and saved himself but he came back, he's been nothing but a gentleman to me and everyone here! Stop trying to control my life."

"I'm not trying to control your life Emma. I'm trying to keep you safe." Emma rolled her eyes.

"Oh my gosh, don't you get it? I'm almost thirty years old, I don't need anyone to protect me or keep me safe. I've doing it on my own my whole life! Stop trying to do my job, you're not my-" Emma stopped midsentence realizing she almost said she yelled at all of her foster fathers. She saw David's head fall and nod. "David, I,"

"No, you're right. I'm not your father. I never was. I didn't raise you, I didn't protect you when you needed it, I just shoved you in that wardrobe and sent you to world I knew nothing about, hoping you would survive it. So, you're right. I'm not father. I don't deserve that title."

"No, David, I was out of line."

"No, you were right. You're almost thirty years old. You don't need anyone to take care of you. You don't have to think of me as your father, but think of Snow as your mother. After all, she's the one that actually did something for you. She gave you life." David turned and walked away. Emma watched her father walk away. She felt the unfamiliar sting of tears at the sight of yet another father walking away from her.
