Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Once Upon A Time and this is only a fanfic. Anyway; although in the rest of my one shots in my Charming Family One Shot series Emma has been spanked, in this one she hasn't and is still 28, but the fairy tale characters have got their memories back. Also takes place before baby Neal is born so Emma is an only child as of present, she is still getting use to being a parent and still doesn't fully understand that her parents are Snow White and Prince Charming. This fanfic might also include some aspects of episodes seen in Season 1 but just to add impact. Also, some Mama Snow and Daddy Charming fluff.

Warning: Will contain talk of punishments such as spankings, groundings etc and one warning slap. If you don't like, don't read.

Mary Margaret had just about had it with Emma's attitude and behaviour! Not only had she repeatedly put her life at risk since the curse had been broken, but she had also shown an attitude which needed to be sorted out. This was the attitude that showed that Emma was trying to act like her newly-discovered son, Henry, and this worried Mary Margaret sick not knowing where her daughter was one minute to the next.

Then there was today. Emma had decided that she was still determined to be in Operation Cobra if it meant that Henry would like to be with her more but was seen continuously being with him even if they weren't supposed to have any contact with each other. Soon enough though, the word got back to Mary Margaret who as soon as she saw Emma made sure she was safely in the car and then told her they were going straight home.

Now that they were home, Mary Margaret dragged Emma in while still keeping a tight grip around her arm.

"I have just about had enough of your behaviour, young lady." Mary Margaret said as she suddenly let go of Emma's arm.

"Mary Margaret I'm_." Emma said but was soon cut off.

"Emma Swan; tonight what your father and I are owed is a sincere apology!"

"Sorry." Emma said but not sincerely.

"Not like that young lady, and so that you can think of what a sincere apology is, you can go and stand in the corner for the next twenty-eight minutes."

As Emma went over to the corner, she had to laugh at that. Not only was her mother treating her like a child but she was also punishing her like one. Looking back over her behaviour today, she couldn't really see anything wrong with it. Yes; she wasn't supposed to see Henry, but if she listened to Regina's orders all the time she would be giving into them. However, as much as these stupid rules were annoying Emma all she wanted at the moment was to get out of this damn corner. All that started to come in to Emma's mind after that was how to get revenge on Regina. Eventually after all the twenty-eight minutes had ran out, Emma knew she had to come up with a good answer as to what she had been thinking about for all that time so here came the moment of truth.

"Do you regret what you did today?" Mary Margaret asked as soon as Emma was in front of her.

What can I say? All I really thought about was how I can get revenge on Regina and that answer is going to get me in to a whole lot more trouble Emma repeatedly thought into herself, not realising that as the time went on Mary Margaret's patience were becoming even thinner.

"Emma; I want an answer from you!" Mary Margaret scolded.

"What was the question again?" Emma asked but only through knowing that she was going to get herself into even bigger trouble.

"Emma! The question I asked was whether or not you had thought about what you did today."

"Of course not!" Emma snapped.

"Go to your room!" Mary Margaret said in her best mom voice.

"But_." Emma started but was soon cut off by her mother.

"No buts, ROOM!"

At that, Emma turn towards the stairs but stopped as soon as she was about to climb them. Is she going to tell Dad again? He'll be so disappointed in me! He'll probably ground me? Give me extra chores? Cut my pay for however long? Whatever. He was so disappointed when he heard about what I did during that beanstalk incident and even added two more weeks on to the two-week grounding I had been given by mom. Not only that but wherever they went, I had to go and that, for one, was completely awkward.

"Uhh, mo_ um, Mary Margaret, are you going to tell Da_ uh, David about what I did today."

Mary Margaret had to smile at that. She loved how Emma was trying to hide from calling her parents mom and dad but kept on going back on it. However, as much as she loved this moment, she had to carry on with what she was thinking.

"Afraid so." Mary Margaret said silently but loud enough for her daughter to hear her.

"But mommy; he'll be so disappointed in me." Emma wined before realising what she said.

Mary Margaret's heart, however, filled with too much love than she had ever felt before. She had been waiting for that moment for so long that she just wanted to go up to her daughter and hug her, but she knew that she still had to appear as stern for the time being. So just as she prepared herself for being stern again, Mary sighed into herself and looked directly into her daughter's eyes.

"I'm afraid I'm still going to have to tell him sweetheart."

"Mommy, please don't!" Emma begged.

Mary Margaret sighed before narrowing her eyes and looking directly at Emma again.

"Emma; room!" Mary Margaret said again in the same stern voice she had been using throughout the evening.

"But_." Emma said nearly in tears although she was then cut off.

"Emma Ruth Swan Blanchard Nolan; go to your room!" Mary Margaret shouted now sounding furious and luckily Emma obeyed, knowing exactly what would be coming next.

...

Once Emma was in her room, Mary Margaret started to prepare for when David would come home. What am I going to do with that girl? I've tried groundings, extra chores and who knows what else. She's right to think that her dad will be disappointed in her and I'm definitely not going to let her away with it because he will definitely punish her. For the next while, Mary Margaret got ready for David to come home and was going over the mistakes Emma made today in her head. However, before a lot of preparation got done, David came in.

"How are my girls doing today?" Charming asked with his normal charming smile and his way of sounding delighted to be home.

"I need to talk to you." Mary Margaret said while walking over to the chairs and once she was seated Charming sat in the seat next to her.

"What is it we need to talk about?"

"Today I was out with Emma and I just turned around for a second and the next she was gone. I rushed rushed round town for ages and was going to phone the station when I saw Regina going near her and when I finally reached her it was only seconds before she could've been hurt and her only excuse was that she was helping Henry out with something."

"Either way she should've told you where she was going and not have put her life at risk like that. I'll go and deal with her now." David said before going over to the stairs. "Emma!" he called and a minute later she was standing on the stairs. However, that was when David reached out to take a grip of her hand and walked her over to the table before looking disappointedly down on her.

"Daddy." Emma said, now coming to terms that she could see these people as her parents who love her.

"Emma; please wait. I'm too disappointed to speak to you."

Emma stayed quiet for a second but then tried to talk again.

"Dad."

"Emma!" David warned while giving Emma his best dad look which Emma actually obeyed. However, after seeing that she had actually obeyed, David went to get a coffee boiled up and drank it before coming back to where his daughter was sitting.

"Dad."

"Yes Emma."

"Umm, am I grounded?"

David sighed at that. He was planning on grounding her but he didn't think she would be so curious. He also planned on having a conversation about her behaviour with her but didn't want to get to her punishment too fast. Before he could get to her answer, Charming sat down on the other side of the table.

"You might be, but we'll discuss that later." David said before seeing Emma nod her head and try her best to look back into her dad's eyes. "Em, your mom and I are delighted that you're starting to call us mom and dad but if you are now ready to call us that, it also gives us another right which is the right to punish you. You know that what you did today was very wrong and you do not run off without your mother knowing where you are or without her permission! Now, you know that is wrong and_."

"I'm twenty-eight! I'm an adult! I can't get punished!" Emma interrupted.

"You do not interrupt me young lady! If I ever see you interrupting your mother or I again you will be in big trouble!"

"Whatever!

"Emma! I would watch my mouth if I were you because you are very close to getting punished."

"You can't punish me!" Emma said with attitude which she last used as a teenager.

"Emma Ruth Swan!"

"What, DAVID?" Emma said with the same attitude.

"That's it!" Before slapping one of Emma's hands with an effective force. "You DO NOT use that attitude with me young lady and I expect an apology for that right now!"

"Sorry." Emma silently cried while rubbing her hand from under the table.

"You're forgiven. Now Em, do you have anything to say for your behaviour today?" David asked.

"S, sorry." Emma said, still slightly crying.

"It's not right to run off on either of your parents Emma and for that you're grounded for three days, and for the attitude I'm grounding from the tv and you're phone for a week. Understand?"

Emma nodded in reply but David knew it was because of how she was feeling ashamed of herself and she still believed she was going to be thrown out so he came up and hugged her.

"Love you Emmy." Charming said as he hugged his daughter and cradled her head.

Emma questioned the nickname she had been given but didn't say anything about it as she guessed she was in enough trouble already.

"Love you too daddy." Emma said and it really made Charming smile. The hug went on for a for another minute and by the time it was finished, Emma was only partly able to hold herself together.

"Now Emzy, I want you to go to your room and you can get use to going to bed at this time for a week, plus as well young lady, if you ever do anything like what you did today again and there's a next time that warning slap will be a lot worse."

Emma took a step back at that threat because she knew exactly what it meant. However, it hadn't made her forget the other nickname which was used.

"Dad; what's with the nicknames?"

"Anything for my daughter. Love you baby girl."

"See you tomorrow dad." Emma said before going upstairs to her room and David went back over to be with Snow.
