As Emma stepped outside the apartment building, she saw David leaning against the exterior of the building with his hand to his face. Although concerned, Emma did not know what to say. Luckily for her, David moved his hands away from his face and spoke, "Emma what are we going to do, we can't leave Snow alone… it's too dangerous." Emma wanted to brush it off, "David, I'm pretty sure Mary Margaret, Snow, the woman who survived in the forest alone can handle herself against this…w-witch!" All it took was for David to look at Emma with his puppy dog eyes to get her to understand what he wanted her to do. "Ugh, fine, I'll babysit Mary Margaret," Emma mumbled. David wrapped Emma into a big bear hug, thanked her, and went on his way to the police station. Emma watched as he left in his truck until she could no longer see him and then headed up to the apartment where Mary Margaret was still inside.
As the door slowly creaked open, Snow turned her attention to the door to see Emma entering in alone. Emma was hoping she would be able to dodge another conversation with Mary Margaret, but it was not going to happen, not with a hormonal Snow White. Mary Margaret waved to Emma while telling Emma to sit on the couch with her. As much as Emma really wanted to avoid sitting and talking to Mary Margaret, she knew at some point she was going to have to talk to her.
Snow looked at Emma and asked where Charming was, Emma then told her that David was at the station and would be back later. This intrigued Snow, "Emma, I have to ask, why do you keep going back and forth with our names?" Emma was scared, was this it, was this going to be what pushes her parents away. Emma finally came out with it, "I'm scared…I want to call you guys mom and dad more freely but…I-I'm just not ready. It seems that when I do use those titles with you and Dad, you guys really listen to me. That's why I used your titles in the mines and earlier today." Snow was almost speechless by the admission from Emma, but like always, couldn't change the subject without saying something. "Emma, we will always listen to what you have to say, however, we've waited so long to be called those titles and that's why they grab our attention." Emma simply blushed, "Well Mom, get used to listening to me, because Dad put me in charge of watching you."
Had Snow not been so pregnant, she would have stormed out of the apartment and to the police station to have a word with Charming. Snow sighed, "Oh really, so now daddy's little girl has to watch the weak Snow White; I'm calling your father!" Emma was stunned by the way Mary Marg—NO—her Mom was acting and walked to the kitchen to get a drink… and maybe to avoid the yelling match that was going to happen soon. As soon as Charming picked up the phone, Snow let him have it, "HOW dare you think I'm not fully capable of taking care of myself against a person who you and Emma are just ASSUMING is the Wicked Witch!". Charming was about to tell Snow the new details he found out when he heard the phone get thrown against some object. Emma's eyes widened after seeing Snow break the phone, Snow turned around, "Oh Emma, don't judge me, Miss Destroyer of the Toaster!" Snow let out a giggle and some tears, while Emma just nervously giggled and went back to sitting on the couch with her mom.
Luckily, Hook, Charming, and Regina were at the station discussing the Wicked Witch, so there were plenty of people to man the police station. However, Regina felt that police work was beneath her so she left Hook in charge, while Charming left to try and smooth things over with Snow.
