David's POV
As the day goes on I'm finding it even harder to realise that my daughter has put the entire neighbourhood at risk. What makes me even more mad is that while I was rushing home I saw an ice monster and when I question Emma about it, she denies all knowledge. How could she lie like that? I saw that ice monster with my own eyes and she's been involved with so many spells recently that I can't actually trust her anymore. When I was up in her room earlier I was treated with such disrespect and as soon as I went downstairs I had to get a lot of comfort from my darling wife. I mentioned how I wanted to take her out for the night but Snow started saying about how she didn't want to leave Neal and how she didn't trust that Emma would be responsible enough. This has been the problem for a while now and I think it is mostly Emma's attitude that is making us worry. I managed to persuade her to go out but it took me to say that if Emma gave us any trouble it would be dealt with. Now all I have to do is talk to Emma about this arrangement and punish her if she gives me any trouble.
"EMMA! COME HERE!" I called up the stairs.
I kept on cradling Neal while Emma walked down the stairs and then over to me as she showed me attitude. I sighed as I saw what had come over her. This attitude of hers is really becoming a problem but I don't exactly know what the cause of it is or how I can stop it. I stared disappointedly at her as she swaggered over to me and I sat down and looked at my son who was currently resting in my arms.
"Emma, your mother and I are going out tonight and we need someone to babysit so could you look after your baby brother tonight?"
"For fuck's sake!"
I took a deep breath into myself. "Emma!" I thought into myself. "Watch your mouth little girl!"
"Emma Ruth Swan! You do not use that sort of language with me young lady!" I scolded her.
"Dad I can talk to you however the hell I want! What am I to you? A fucking slave?"
That does it! I cannot actually believe she spoke that way to me.
"Watch your mouth little girl."
"I can't babysit! I'm going out tonight!"
"EMMA; I have already said that you're not allowed out, and Regina has agreed to take Henry until she hears anything, so that means that you can babysit. Act like that well behaved girl I really know!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! YOU'RE NOT_!"
"Watch what you're going to say next young lady!"
"DAD JUST FUCK_!"
Just then, Snow appeared and I sighed frustratingly as she walked slowly to my side. I really need this support right now because I am starting to go way too soft on my baby girl.
"EMMA! Do not use that language with your father young lady!" Snow said like she was very much at the end of her tither with our girl.
"Mom just_!"
"DON'T YOU DARE EM_!"
"Fu_!"
"EMMA RUTH SWAN!" Snow yelled disappointedly and shocked.
I watched as Emma tried to send magic towards my wife but pulled her back before she started hurting her. So that she would know that she was more than caught out I handed Neal over to Snow before applying two hard smacks to Emma's bottom and then turned her around so that she would be looking straight into my face.
"EMMA; WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU! YOU'VE BEEN ACTING LIKE THIS EVER SINCE YOUR BROTHER WAS BORN!"
"It's because he's a jerk!"
"Emma Ruth Swan! Don't you ever say that about my son again!" Snow scolded her.
"Fuck off Mom!"
How could she talk to her mother that way? I am so disappointed and shocked that she spoke that way to her mother! I took another deep breath in but my anger just became too strong. I grabbed one of her arms and once they were raised up I swatted her bottom three more times. I was so filled up with emotions that when I had finished spanking her I pulled her towards me and gave her a glare that would show how I was beyond raging with her.
"EMMA! THAT IS IT! YOU WILL NEVER TALK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU! YOU SWORE AT YOUR MOM! AS A PUNISHMENT YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THIS HOUSE AND YOU ARE BABYSITTING WHETHER YOU ARE HAPPY WITH IT OR NOT! THIS BEHAVIOUR BETTER CHANGE BY THE TIME WE GET HOME YOUNG LADY!"
I grabbed Neal's bag of baby supplies and handed them over to Emma.
"Now Emma, I hope you can look after your brother like a responsible big sister and his next feed is at...?" I froze because I had forgotten this information again.
"Nine." Snow told me while she continued rocking Neal.
"His next feed is at nine. Also, don't try doing anything to him because if he's distressed you will be further punished when we get home."
I heard Emma mumble something under her breath but didn't exactly pick up on it. However, before I passed Neal over to her I took my chance to warn her about this behaviour again.
"And Emma; I would ground you from your phone but that is a way for us to stay in touch with you and to make sure your baby brother is ok. Please try to be good."
I asked Snow to pass Neal over to Emma and once she did, I sighed into myself. If I do have to punish her again when I get home it will be the second time in a day and I will be so annoyed. I followed Snow out of the house and held the door for her and before I closed it, I gave Emma a warning with my eye. I've got a feeling this is going to be a long night.
...
Emma's POV
Babysitting my little brother is the least of my favourite things. I've been feeling this way for a while now and I can't help just thinking that I hope Neal would go somewhere. Something I've also noticed is that I'm always in trouble now and Neal hardly ever gets shouted at because what is Mom's excuse? He's just a baby! Yes; I get that, but neither of my parents would've picked up on me swearing before he was born and now it's the first thing they pick up on. As soon as the door closed I carried Neal over to the other side of the room and then left him there because I didn't know what else to do with him.
"Right, so you can stay here and I'm going to go and keep myself happy."
I got up then and walked over to the door before opening it. There stood Killian and I made myself look flattered as soon as I saw him.
"Hello Hook!" I said all high-pitched.
"Hello Miss Swan!" he replied in almost the same way.
I guided him in and then walked over to the sofa so the two of us could sit down, something that we both did.
"Emma, I just want to ask you something, Love."
"What is it Killian?"
"Aren't you supposed to not be doing anything except looking after Neal tonight?"
"Yes but my parents aren't here so I can actually do what I want and right now, I want you."
"That's what I like about you Swan. So, could you show me what you can do with that magic?"
I magicked the science containers over and started putting all these different things in. I've never really been trained on this but I've seen Regina do it so it can't be that hard. Soon, everything started going wrong and the whole place was a mess but when I thought about cleaning everything my phone said that Mom was trying to FaceTime me. I am so busted!
FaceTime Moments
"Hi Ems! How_ why's everything purple over there?" Mom or Mary Margaret said to me with a very strict look on her face.
"It must be technical difficulties going on with your phone." I answered trying to hide the fact that I'd actually broken the rules, but all I got in reply was a very strict looking mom who then gave me a warning while she spoke to me again.
"EMMA! DON'T BE TRYING TO TRICK ME!" she warned but of course I didn't listen.
"Seriously Mom! Why do you have to be so uncool? I'm surprised you even know how to work this thing!"
"EMMA!" they both yelled at me.
While they were shouting at me Neal started crying again and I mumbled something under my breath, not aware that my parents could hear exactly what I said.
"Just fucking shut up Neal." I mumbled under my breath.
"EMMA RUTH SWAN!" they both shouted at me. Well I don't have to listen to them, do I? They gave me up at birth after all!
"What's wrong with you guys? Can't you both just chill?" I said with attitude.
"EMMA; this better be sorted by the time we get home and our house better look like it did before we left or you will be in BIG TROUBLE!" Dad scolded me.
Oh no! I'm in so much trouble now! What happens if I do get caught? They'll probably react worse than how my foster parents did when I was a teenager. So that I could save myself I began to make random break up noises and then hung up on them.
End Of FaceTime
Right! Sort all this out, sort all this out. Wait! I'm already not allowed to leave the house tonight and if I don't get all this sorted I'll be punished again. This fucking sucks! Could I use magic to do it? All the thoughts were becoming too much for me so I walked over to Killian and stopped in my tracks so I could have a heart to heart conversation with him, as I leaned against the sofa.
"I'm so scared of what they're going to do to me Killian." I said while showing him that I was scared.
"Don't worry Emma. I won't let them do too much to you."
"But Killian! Dad smacked me this morning and I'm afraid that he might punish me like that again. Plus I was warned before they went out that if I did anything else I would get punished.
"Aren't you over 20 years old, love?"
I'm 28 but my dad's raising me with the same rule he was raised with. You're punished until you move out. I just feel so jealous of Neal now and I know that I shouldn't but I do!"
"So if you get grounded what will happen to Henry?"
"The kid has two moms so he'll be staying with Regina."
"How long do we have until your parents come home?" he asked eagerly.
"Two hours, why?"
"I thought you might want to have some time with me, Love."
"That would be great Killian."
We started making out on the sofa and I loved every minute of it. I loved the feeling of Hook's lips against mine, and even his tongue managed to enchant me. Even his hook managed to enchant me and over the next few minutes, I began losing track of time. In fact, I only began realising what happened when I heard familiar shouting. We must have been on top of each other because one minute I was enjoying all of this, then a knock and then_.
"EMMA RUTH SWAN!" yelled a voice that sounded very much like David's.
Killian went flying back and then the shouting continued. I saw my dad's face going from angry to mad and I bit my tongue. Oh my God! I'm in so much trouble now!
"KILLIAN; GO AND STAND IN THE CORNER!"
I watched as Killian moved away from me but then Dad used the same strictness with me as he looked directly into my face.
"YOU; COME!"
While Dad got me up and dragged me over to our table, I looked at how Hook was walking slowly over to the corner. For a while I wasn't paying attention at all but then I felt a quick tug on my arm which was followed by a single smack. When we got over to the table, I was told to sit down, and Dad looked down at me with a stern look on his face.
...
David's POV
I am so angry at my daughter now! We leave her to look after her brother and she decides to practice her magic, then she lies to me and then she makes out with someone who she knows I don't approve of. However, it is not that that really annoys me. No! It's the fact that she ignored her little brother and I am just appalled at this behavior. As soon as I had her at the table I made her sit down and she started moving as soon as she sat. I stared down at her so that she would know she was in trouble. I hate this part of parenting!
"I'm sorry Daddy." she said quietly.
"I don't want to speak to you right now." I said firmly. Yes; I know it isn't nice for me to lock her out like that but I'm just too angry right now. I went to get a coffee and sat down for a moment while I gathered myself. Then I went back to where I left Emma and sat down on the table before I sighed into myself before I continued scolding her again.
"Daddy, I'm sorry."
"EMMA; I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!"
"I know Daddy."
"First of all, you're grounded until further notice AND YOU WILL BE GETTING PUNISHED BY YOUR MOTHER AND ME!"
"DAD! Please no!"
Just then I saw Snow come in and I sighed so that I could signal that I was having problems with our daughter. She looked like she was out of patients and I knew that Emma had to be punished for breaking our trust.
"Emma, what's wrong with your brother?" Snow asked
"Do you think I give a fuck about him?"
"EMMA; do not use that language princess!" I scolded her while I tried to remain strict.
"I'm not a princess! Just because you_!"
"EMMA; stop it! I've had it with the attitude!"
Great! So have I!
"EMMA; I AM WARNING YOU!"
"Whatever." she said while rolling her eyes.
"THAT'S IT YOUNG LADY! YOU'RE GETTING TWENTY-EIGHT WITH THE BELT!"
"DAD!"
"And I will be sending you straight to your room afterwards because you have been so disrespect today!"
"CAN BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!"
"EMMA!" Mary Margaret shouted at our daughter sternly.
"What?" Emma snapped.
"I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!" my wife concluded.
"How could you? I've only known you for a while!"
I pulled the chair beside me out and looked at Emma as soon as I sat down.
"Emma, get over my knee right now young lady!"
I watched as she remained reluctant and backed away from me, but since I didn't have any patients right now I pulled her over my knee giving her no time to fight. Then I brought my belt off and kept it in my hands so that I would be ready to start. I smacked her with it twenty-eight times so I could make her learn that no matter what age she was, she would still be punished. After I had finished I look down so that I could talk to her and I spoke to her before I let her up.
"Is there anything you want to say to me young lady?"
"Sorry Daddy." she replied through tears of crying.
I hugged her for around three minutes so that she could calm down and once she was calm enough, Snow called her over. We can both agree that this is our least favourite part of parenting but it is something that does have to be done no matter how much you love your child. I watched as Emma was lowered over her mother's knee and then how Snow was punishing her. However, after a while it became too long and I urged for the punishment to stop. Six more smacks were added on and when my daughter stood up I could see the tears in her eyes, but I applaud my wife for staying strong.
"GO TO YOUR ROOM AND STAY THERE YOUNG LADY! YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED OUT WHEN YOUR FATHER OR I GIVE YOU PERMISSION!" Snow scolded her.
"Yes mom and sorry."
Once Emma was in her room I sat down beside Mary Margaret on the sofa. In all these years, I never thought I would have to punish my daughter as an adult but the attitude was just getting on my nerves! We sat talking to each other for ages and then I realised that Killian was still in my house. I walked over to him and then pulled him out of the corner before looking angrily into his face.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
"A simple please would be nice mate!"
"I am not your mate and I do not want you in my house!"
"Just chill mate!"
I put my arm around his with a tight grip and then dragged him over to the door before opening it and pushing him out.
"Listen to me! I never want to see you in my house again and you will not be left alone with my daughter!"
"I wouldn't be so hard on me mate! You're dragging your daughter away from you and she already feels jealous of your son."
I closed the door in his face and then rested myself on the sofa beside Snow. Emma's jealous of Neal? She's 28 years old and has a kid of her own so I'm finding that very unlikely. Either way, I'm going to talk to her later on about this behavior but right now I just need to relax.
...
So guys, what do you think of this story so far? I originally wrote this on Wattpad but I wanted to give more people a glimpse. Anyway, for the next chapter I was thinking that I should concentrate more on Emma's jealousy towards Neal, but to also show a bit of the Daddy's Little Girl relationship between her and David. Please give me your thoughts on this idea, as well as ways I could do it and I'll see what I could do.
