Disclaimer: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and am loving the suggestions I'm getting. Anyway, I've been busy with school all week since I'm doing my A Levels this year and am trying my best to get into university this year, and that's the reason why I am only going to be posting at the weekends at the minute. So this Chapter is actually a suggestion I got from SwanQueen135 who wanted a fic of Charming getting tired of Mary Margaret (Snow) and Emma fighting so he puts them on a time out and spanks them. This story will feature some groundings as well but hopefully it is what you were expecting it to be like.

Warning: Will contain adult spanking and a lot of family fluff. Don't like, don't read.

This argument had been going on all morning! Yes; all morning Charming had been looking after Neal and now he felt like he was getting a sore head. Come on girls, Charming began to think into himself. You've been at this for hours now and I'm supprised you haven't woke Neal up! David thought while he continued to rock Neal in his arms. It was now 5:30pm and the argument felt lik it had gone on forever and by the time the worse comment in the whole fight was made just a few minutes later, Charming had just about had enough.

"Mom; why can't you just leave me alone and let me run off with Killian? Just fuck off!" Emma screamed and downstairs, Charming bit his lip so that he could stop himself from shouting upstairs at his daughter himself, but mostly what annoyed him was that his baby girl was talking about doing something that she knew he didn't agree with, well, plus the language.

"Know what Emma? I would happily do that now! In fact; with you giving me this amount of trouble at the minute I would happily choose a night without you!" Mary Margaret screamed while making it clear she was losing control.

That does it! Charming thought. He had had enough with this argument and if he was being quite honest, he had forgotten what the source of the entire argument was. Just as Charming's anger was getting to the extreme, he realised that he was actually holding his 4 month old son and so that he wouldn't hurt him, carefully put Neal back in his rocker.

"Right wee man, how about you hang out here while I go and deal with our girls." Charming said before getting up and heading towards the stairs just as he heard Neal giggle. "Yea, I know. Women, ey?" Charming said before rushing up the stairs. Emma, please don't let your mother kill you before I get up here, Charming thought as he ran up the stairs.

...

Upstairs, Mary Margaret and Emma were putting their best into this fight. Both of them were tired but weren't willing to give up on their point, which for Snow was that Emma should be staying home and looking after her brother instead of going out and repeatedly putting herself, Henry's and their other friends lives at risk, and for Emma was that she wanted more freedom to hang around with Killian. Either way, they needed to catch on to what they were doing or both of them would be paying the price.

"Emma; I want you to apologise to me now."

"No! I'm not apologising to you unless you apologise to me first!" Emma said in a childish voice that sounded like she was fighting with her friend.

"Emma!" Snow scolded in a disappointed, shocked and angry tone.

"What, Snow?" Emma snapped with attitude.

"Emma!" Snow warned.

"What's your problem, Mary Margaret? Don't like that I'm not listening to you? I don't have to!" Emma said with the same amount of attitude.

"Emma Ruth Swan; you better change that tone right now young lady and you do not want to know what will happen to you if you don't!" Mary Margaret said just as Charming barged into the room, while looking beyond angry.

"D, Dad." Emma stuttered showing her nerves of how nervous she was.

"Emma; come here!" David said as he put on his stern Dad voice.

Emma knew she was in trouble now. Why did she have to have to fight with her mom? Why did she have to say all those awful things to her mom? Why did she have to let that conversation go on for so long when she could've just taken the first answer she got? Oh great! Now I've done it. I know what the consequences of these actions are and still, I test them, Emma thought as she bit her lip and walked over to her Dad. As soon as she was standing by her dad, all Emma knew was that she was looking at David one minute and the next she felt her red leather jacket being pulled off her, then a tough grip went round her arm, and the next she was turned around and felt two hard smacks on her bum before being turned round to face her father again and Emma looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Time out corner!" David said while sounding stern and starting a timer for 29 minutes on his phone.

Emma isntantly obeyed, knowing what the result would be if she didn't.

Then David turned his attention to Mary Margaret.

"And what do you have to say for yourself?" David asked in the same voice that he had just used on Emma.

"David; stop looking at me like that. The arguments over and that's all that matters."

"Yea, except the way you spoke to Emma still needs to be dealt with."

"I scolded her David!"

"You also told her that she would be better off away from us and also told her she could run off with Killian who you know I don't approve of!" Charming shouted but then realised that Emma was starting to mess around in the corner. "We'll continue this discussion downstairs." Charming said before turning his attention back to Emma. "Emma; I will call you when I'm ready for you and don't you dare move from that corner young lady until your time is up."

Both Charming and Mary Margaret went out of the room and went downstairs.

...

As soon as they were both downstairs, David went with Mary Margaret around the table. The way they were seated was that Charming was on one side of the table and Snow was at the other side and Charming saw this as the perfect time to take this conversation further.

"Do you know why we're having this conversation?"

"Not exactly Charming, but if you are planning on treating me the same as we treat Emma when she does something wrong then I'm afraid to say you won't have any chances."

"Well it appears you might have to argue that point better." Charming said while getting up and moving his chair round.

"What do you mean?" Snow asked through utter confusion.

"I'm going to spank you."

Did she actually hear that? Was she actually going to get a spanking from her husband? No! He can't do that!

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am."

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am." Charming said a bit harsher.

"David James Nolan; don't you even think about spanking me or you're sleeping on the couch tonight!"

"So nothing's different then." Charming said before sitting on the chair and looking at Mary Margaret with his normal charming smile. "Don't you want to set a good example for our daughter? How is she supposed to learn to take her punishment without fighting if you won't?"

"David; I swear that if you spank me you will be grounded!"

"We'll just have to take that risk then. Come over here, Snow White."

Mary Margaret knew this argument wasn't going anywhere so she got up and walked over to David who instantly put her over his knee.

"You're getting this because of how you talked to my baby girl earlier on and because of the majority of that argument." Charming said before starting the spanking.

Smack smack smack smack smack

"Charming; stop it!" Snow cried.

"S, s, st, stop it."

Smack smack smack

"Charming; y, y, you're g, gr, grounded!" Mary Margaret said through cries but still trying to remain serious.

smack smack smack

"Sorry, sorry."

Smack smack

At that, Charming let Mary Margaret up and he was silently sniggering at the tear stains she was trying to hide.

"So I guess you learned from this slightly overdue punishment." Charming said sacastically with that normal smile of his but when Snow glared at him he found it best to stay quiet.

"Let me tell you one thing Mister. My opinion of you being punished has not changed." Snow said in a serious voice.

"Well I'd be happy to continue that conversation later. Now how about you stand in the corner for the next 35 minutes?" Charming said while smiling into himself and watching his wife walk over to the corner.

"Just so you know, I will get you back for this."

"I don't doubt that at all." Charming mumbled lightly into himself.

While Charming watched Snow go over to the corner, the timer for Emma's time out finished and David's phone let out a small beeping sound. At that, David got up and went over to the stairs before shouting up.

"Emma; you can come down here now!" Charming shouted up the stairs and a few seconds later, Emma appeared on the stairs.

"Come." David said while motioning Emma over to the couch where he was heading.

Emma followed David over to the couch in fear that if she didn't listen, she would be getting a lot worse, but that would not mean that she would take her punishment as she should. Soon, David sat down on the couch and Emma at this point was just a few steps away from him so David took this chance to talk to her.

"Emmy, you know why you're getting a spanking, right?" David asked.

Emma remained quiet.

"Em; I just need you to let me do this and then you can talk to me about all of this. Come on honey." David said silently.

Emma didn't say anything.

"Emma; I am not pleased with this behaviour at the minute! Answer me!" David said while getting even more angry.

Emma was shocked at this tone but still didn't answer why she was getting a spanking.

"Emma Ruth Swan; you owe me a reply and a lot more respect!" David said with a very stern voice.

Emma still remained quiet but just didn't answer. Stay strong Emma, stay strong! He didn't wait to hear any of your thoughts earlier and put you in Time Out like some naughty little kid, Emma thought to herself. David, on the other hand, was not so pleased. Come on Emma! Don't make this so hard on yourself! I am just so angry with her right now and I'm fed up with her being rude! Another minute went by and by this point David had lost so much of his patience that he grabbed Emma's phone off her.

"Dad!" Emma yelled in shock.

"Emma Ruth Swan Nolan; you do not show me such level of disrespect! For being so rude to me this phone is being taken off yo until I decide you can have it back, you're having extra added on to your spanking, you will be on another time out as soon as we finish and you owe both your mother and I an apology! Now get ready and get straight over my knee before you get yourself in even more trouble!" David shouted in a stern voice that was warning his daughter not to test him again.

Emma had to admit it. She was really scared of what would happen next! However, that doesn't mean she won't try to fight off this spanking even more.

"Daddy."

"Emma; get over my knee young lady."

"D, dad."

"Emma Ruth Swan; now!"

"D, daddy, I, I'm s, sorry." Emma lied but felt it was the best way to get her out of this mess.

"Emma; come! You're getting your bottom spanked young lady!" David said fiercely.

Emma knew that wasn't a voice to test but it didn't work with her because she started to take a few steps back and once she started to run away, David began to run after her and once he caught up to her, he put a tight grip around her arm and dragged her over to the couch.

"That's it! You know that running off on me before a punishment is not going to let you away with the consequences and this, Emma, is not going undealt with." David said while dragging Emma over to the couch and sitting down. "Now get over my knee young lady!"

"No!"

"Right. Well then, you decided you wanted this." David said while lowering Emma over his knee, but it was not without struggle and Emma was still fighting when she was positioned over her father's knee.

"Stop it!" David scolded while laying one extra hard smack on Emma's bum and then adding four more hard ones.

"D, daddy! F, fuck off!" Emma said while still crying but David angrily turned her round to look at him while still keeping her on his lap.

"Do you want me to do this bare because if I hear that kind of language from you again Emma I will not hesitate to bare your bottom little girl!" David said while sounding beyond angry.

"S, sorry daddy!" Emma cried even though it was mostly from fear because she knew that wasn't a voice to be tested. David turned Emma round again before continuing with the spanking.

"Do not think I like doing this to you because I don't!" Smack smack smack smack smack, smack smack smack smack smack.

"P, please d, Daddy. I'm s, sorry."

"You will listen to what you are told in future, Missy!" David scolded before adding five more smacks.

Emma was lying over her father's knee with tears running out of her. However, she did make the mistake of thinking of this as the end of her punishment but only realised it wasn't when she felt a tight grip come around her arm as she tried to get up.

"Not so fast young lady!" David said as he grabbed the wooden spoon off the table which was beside the couch.

Smack smack smack smack smack, David spanked the left side of Emma's butt.

smack smack smack smack smack, David then moved over to work on Emma's right butt cheek

By this point, Emma was in tears crying and she only realised her punishment had finished when she found herself sitting looking at her father while sitting on his knee like a little kid and she winced at the pain that she felt on her bum.

"Emma; is there anything you want to say to me?" David asked sternly.

"Sorry daddy." Emma said while keeping her head down in shame but she looked up when David put his finger under her chin.

"I am not happy with how you spoke to your mother or I today Emma and you will be apologising to her as soon as you can. Emma Ruth Swan; you are an older sister now and you are meant to be an example for your younger brother! How is he meant to know what good behaviour is if his big sister is always getting in trouble or getting punished?"

"H, he, I, Daddy." Emma stuttered because she was starting to feel ashamed of herself and was feeling the pain of the spanking.

"You have until 7:30 to think of what you did wrong and then you're going straight to bed and that will be your bedtime until I'm sure you can be trusted." David said while hating that he couldn't trust his daughter and oldest child.

"Daddy, are you still angry at me?" Emma asked.

David sighed before answering. It wasn't that he was angry, he was just disappointed and didn't think he'd ever have to punish his child as an adult.

"I'm disappointed in you." David said softly and when he looked at the look on Emma's face, he saw that she was silently crying at that thought. However, Charming still knew that he had to follow through with what he had originally said so he gently lifted his daughter off his knee and put his finger under her chin when she was standing.

"Now Em, you know I love you, but I want you to sit on that bottom step and think about what you did today. Twenty-nine minutes." David said softly but firmly and Emma instantly agreed, although she found it weird how she still had to do time outs at her aged.

Just as Emma had just sat on the chair, the timer that Charming had set for Snow's time out went off and Charming walked over to the kitchen part of their loft.

"Alright my dear." Charming said with a smile as he spoke to his wife but he guessed she would be giving him the silent treatment for quite a while now which meant he would be in loads of trouble.

As Snow walked past Charming, she playfully slapped him on the chest and continued to not talk to him until they both were sitting on the couch, but were still a few spaces apart.

"Can you at least talk to me!" Charming said.

Mary Margaret didn't answer.

"Come on. You can't give me the silent treatment for too long!"

Mary Margaret didn't answer.

"I'll have to make sure that Emma apologises to you later." Charming said hoping that that would get a conversation going.

"How is she?" Mary Margaret said quietly not wanting to make a great amount of conversation or to involve Emma when she was still in hearing distance because she knew that would be an argument that wouldn't go easy.

"I had to put her on another time out for being rude." Charming said before realising that Snow had actually spoke to him. "See, I knew that would get you speaking to me."

Mary Margaret rolled her eyes at that before talking. "You're just too Charming for your own good, you know that?"

"So I'm forgiven for punishing you as well as Emma?" Charming said with a hopeful tone.

Snow just glared at him.

"You're sleeping on the couch tonight. I'll see how forgiving I am tomorrow." Snow said seriously and they both continued to talk while Emma's minutes on the step finished.

...

Twenty-nine minutes later and David and Mary Margaret were finally ready to deal with their daughter. She had been on time out for nearly half an hour now but both her parents believed that she had had enough time to think about what she did.

"Emma; you can come back over here now!" David called as he thought he might as well bring her off it since he was the one to put her on it.

Emma got up and walked over to her parents who were sitting on the couch. Secretly, she felt angry at herself for treating both her parents that way but she didn't want to let them see that. Something that was also becoming annoying was that the spanking Emma got earlier wasn't exactly dying down any so she was surely not going to be able for a few days at least. This was what was even more annoying about the time out she just had to do as sitting still became very, very difficult. Right guys. You better not tell me to do nothing for another twenty-nine minutes, Emma thought as she walked even closer to her parents. For most of her way over to the couch, Emma was determined to keep her cool but she couldn't stop herself from keeping her tears in when she saw the disappointed looks on her parents' faces so she broke down in tears. Luckily, she wasn't too far away from the couch so Mary Margaret was able to reach out towards her daughter and managed to get her over to where she and her husband were sitting.

"Emma, Emma; look at me." Mary Margaret said softly.

Emma looked up at her mother with wide eyes and she still had tears in her eyes.

"I just want you to hug me mommy." Emma said while feeling a little embarrassed but she was still crying.

"Get up here then and we'll get that sorted out." Mary Margaret said while patting her knee and Emma got up even though she felt like she was a little too old for sitting on her mother's knee but for once she didn't care.

Emma kept on thinking about everything that happened today and still couldn't believe everything that she said today. She had been so horrible to the person who was now showing her so much love and as the thoughts went even deeper, Emma started crying even harder. The next thing she knew, she was crying in to her mother's shoulder and could feel her hair being stroked. This is too much for me to handle right now. I think I should apologise for what I did today, Emma thought into herself.

"Mom?" Emma asked as clear as she could though she was still crying.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"I, I, I'm sorry for how I spoke to you today." Emma said with a croacky voice.

Mary Margaret couldn't stop herself from smiling inside and out at that. She had waited so long for this moment and now she had got it. While Mary Margaret was still caught in the moment, Emma had continued to cry into her mother's shoulder and when Mary Margaret realised this was happening, her hand went up to stroke Emma's hair and to cradle her head and she kissed her head while all this was happening.

"That's alright baby girl. It looks like both of us went through a lot today as far as our punishments go so you don't have to worry sweetheart." Mary Margaret soothed as she continued to look after her baby. Eventually, Emma fell asleep on her mother's shoulder but Snow continued to hum soft songs to her while keeping the comforting up. Over the next few minutes, both of Charming's girls got carried away with the time and sooner than anyone knew, it was 7:30. Charming got up and walked over to the couch where both Snow and Emma were now sleeping and he shook Emma's arm just slightly before she woke up looking half asleep and Snow looked grumpy.

"Em, look what time it is." Charming said.

Emma just groaned and looked at her father as if she were confused.

"Come on Emmy. Let's get you to bed." Charming said softly and Emma got up and followed him to her room. However, just as they were going upstairs, Emma was told that she was now grounded for three days and that she wouldn't be getting her leather jacket back till tomorrow, she wouldn't get any dinner tonight and she wouldn't be allowed to see Killian, Henry or any of her other friends for at least two weeks. Charming then waited till Emma got herself changed and then when she came back, her dad tucked her into bed and kissed her head before going out.

Well, at least she couldn't say she wasn't loved.
