Disclaimer: This post might be me for a while because while I will be able to hopefully upload during the Halloween break, I have loads of other stories and I'm getting asked to continue them, plus I have mountains of coursework to do throughout the next week but I promise I won't stay away for too long. Anyway, since I was asked to update my story Life As A Shepherd which is a sequel to my on going fanfic, Life As A Prince _ both of which concentrate on David's rebellious period before Snow and Emma, this is a Snow punishes Charming fic. Yes; I know we hardly ever see them fall out but this is only going to be shown in one chapter and I promise I will be back with the other fics as soon as possible but if anyone would like another chapter of this then I'm happy to do other suggestions. Plus; to the person who wanted a Grand pa David spanks Henry one shot, I haven't forgotten about your idea and will either do it as the first or second thing when I come back. Anyway; hope you enjoy and please give me nice reviews.

Warning: Will contain disciplinary, adult spanking. Don't like, don't read.

Why did we have to tell are deepest secret, David thought to himself as he continued to trudge through the woods and trying eagerly to get his wife to speak to him instead of giving him the silent treatment. This had been going on for too long! Snow knew Charming couldn't last long without her speaking to him but she was determined to show him exactly what he was making her go through. Overtime, they got closer and closer to Tink's and Charming was finding it even more annoying that Snow wasn't talking to him and was starting to wonder if this was ever the way Emma felt when she got in trouble with her mother. Come on! You have to speak to me at some point, David thought again while feeling annoyed. Eventually Killian, or as Charming called him, the Pirate, said that they were near Tink's and that was good news as far as David was concerned because it meant Mary Margaret would have to talk to him, well, although it would include having to push her to speak to him.

"I can see why she picked this area. Nice, quite jungle: might make a nice spot for our hut don't you think?" Charming said but Snow walked on without talking to him. "Or a tree house if you prefer, Mary Margaret," David added with an obvious tone of disappointment in his voice although it was more so hinted at himself but Snow continued to walk on.

Why can't she just talk to me? I didn't want to hurt her! She has to speak at some point, doesn't she? Oh well, keep your hopes up!

"Snow; when are you going to start talking to me again?! When we're storming Pan's camp. when we're grabbing Henry, when? You need to say something!" Charming yelled and that was finally enough to make her turn round, only, somehow he didn't like the look on her face. Oh no, I haven't seen that look since before Emma was born! Umm... am I in trouble now? Charming thought before seeing Mary Margaret storming over to him with a lot of anger portrayed on her face. Uh oh, definitely in trouble.

"Why! You didn't! You didn't tell me anything!" Mary Margaret scolded David like she was shouting at a misbehaving class, or more than likely Emma even though she never thought she would be shouting at her husband for anything.

"A, At first I was hoping that I could find a cure for the poison th, then if I could I figured there was no reason for me to worry." Charming said while stuttering because for a moment he felt like he was a boy on the farm again.

"Ok, but then you did find a cure, and you still didn't tell me!" Mary Margaret screamed as she felt her anger rising up.

"I know."

"So what? You weren't afraid to worry me again?"

"N, no, I, I, I, I, I, didn't think_." Charming started but was then cut off.

"No! No you didn't! You didn't think! You didn't think I had a right to know you could never leave this island! Why didn't you tell me?" Snow cried through anger, although it was becoming worse.

"I was scared!" Charming screamed as if he was under pressure.

"Did you think I wouldn't stay here with you? After everything we've been through did you think I would ever leave your side?"

"No, I knew you wouldn't. That's what scared me, and I didn't want that for you. I didn't want for you to be stuck on this island with me. The price of this cure was something I didn't want to force upon you."

"Love means being together." Mary Margaret said silently but firmly.

"Yea, I know. It also means sacrifice and protecting someone you love. How could a part of me not want you to leave this place." Charming said while a couple more tears came to his eyes.

"I would happily build a tree house and spend the rest of my days dodging poisoned arrows and lost boys if it meant having you by my side!" Mary Margaret shouted at David feeling like now she was definitely getting into school teacher mode.

There was a moment's silence and then Mary Margaret looked disappointedly at David while he put his head down in shame. "But you should've told me," she said while shaking her head.

"I know. I'm sorry." David said through tears and when Mary Margaret went over to him, she hugged him.

"You didn't believe David. You needed to believe in us." Mary Margaret said softly and overtime, they continued to hug and kiss each other. However, after all this romance had finished, Mary Margaret put a tight grip around David's arm and started dragging him forward.

"Where are we going Snow?" David asked.

"Where we are going is to the campsite and then you are in some serious trouble, Mister." Snow said while she started to drag David along while still maintaining the silent treatment. I'm guessing I know what serious trouble means.

...

It had taken a while but the Charming family had finally managed to get to Tink. They had discovered the awkward relationship between Tink and Regina but luckily that relationship had been good enough to let everyone have a place to sleep for the night. However, once everyone had been settled in, Snow returned her thoughts to working out exactly what she should do with Charming. Yes; she knew he had apologised but still wasn't overly pleased with how he had kept everything from her. Soon, Emma came up to talk to her parents but nothing went as easy as she thought it would have.

"Right. So I was wondering if I could go and see if there's anyway that I could go and look for Henry without you." Emma said silently although she knew what the answer would probably be."

"No." Mary Margaret replied quickly and in a stern tone.

"But mo, um, Mary Margaret." Emma wined.

Mary Margaret had to laugh at that. She was wanting so much for Emma to call her mom and even if she was only saying it a bit, it was still something.

"No Emma! You're not leaving here alone to do something completely dangerous." Mary Margaret said firmly.

"David?" Emma said while turning to her father and wanting to know if he would be able to give her what she wants.

David looked away for a second and grimaced before answering her.

"Listen to your mother." was all David could say knowing he was in big trouble with Snow too. However, it did mean he couldn't look at her eyes because he knew she would be using the puppy dog eyes on him.

"But_." Emma started but was cut off by Snow.

"No Emma; now get to bed."

"But."

"Now!"

No."

"Emma Ruth Swan!" Mary Margaret scolded and then saw that Emma was taking a few steps back. "Do I have to call Regina in here and ask her to get you to bed for me because believe me, I WILL do that and IT IS NOT a nice experience."

"I, I just don't want to."

"Regina; can you come in here!"

A second later Regina came in and she looked like she wasn't too pleased at being called in.

"What is it?" Regina asked abruptly as she came in and saw Snow pointing towards Emma. "You want me to deal with your oversized child?"

Snow nodded and mouthed to Regina about everything that had just happened and she finally managed to get both her stepmother and her daughter out of the room. Then she turned her attention to David.

"Do you have anything to say for your actions throughout the last few days?" Snow asked in a stern yet disapproving voice.

Charming was caught off guard by this tone. Wait, is she talking to me? I haven't done anything extremely wrong. What's going to happen to me?

"Umm, n, no, my love." Charming said but he secretly knew it wasn't a good answer.

What Snow did though took him fully by surprise. Charming watched as his wife grabbed a seat nearby and sat on it before motioning him over to her, which luckily he obeyed. What's she doing? Why do I get the feeling I'm about to be punished? The look on her face is normally only used on a badly behaved child. Why is she using it on me? Charming thought as he went closer and closer to his wife.

"Umm, what's happening over here, my love?" Charming asked but aiming on getting himself out of this situation.

"Well what's going to be happening is that you are going to get punished for not telling me that you couldn't leave this island."

Did she seriously just say that I'm getting punished? But, no! This can't be happening!

"No! You can't do that!" Charming shouted while he tried to take a step back.

"Well it seems that I'm the closest thing to someone who knew you during your rebellious days so the answer is yes I can."

"B, but, you, I, umm."

"Just hurry up and get over my knee David. I'm just planning on doing this as a warning for you."

"N, no." David said while taking a few steps back.

"No wonder our daughter doesn't want to listen when she's told to do something. At least be an example to her!"

"No!" Charming yelled but when he tried to run, Snow put a tight grip around his arm.

"You know this is going to happen whether you're happy with it or not!"

"I, it's j, just, the last time I had to do this was when I was under King George's rule and_."

"Oh yes, that night you snuck out when you were meant to be grounded and stayed out with me until sunrise when you realised that you were going to be in big trouble."

"Exactly and, uhh, what are you doing?" Charming asked, realising that he was now beside the chair that his wife sat on.

"Oh don't worry dear. Just think of me as the not so evil version of King George." Snow said as lowered Charming over her knee and then:

Smack smack smack smack

"Snow; seriously! You can't do this!" Charming cried.

"Yes I can." Snow said while spanking David three more times.

Smack smack smack.

"You should've told me instead of hiding everything." Smack smack smack smack smack smack smack smack.

"S, Snow, p, please stop." Charming cried.

Smack smack smack smack smack. Smack smack smack smack smack.

"S, Snow. I'm sorry."

Smack smack smack smack smack smack.

Knowing from experience of getting spanked himself and as of more recently, having to smack Emma for some of her behaviour, Charming knew that if a few spanks weren't felt for a while it meant the punishment was over, so after a few seconds he got up. Wow. Snow definitely does spank hard, and I wonder why Em reacts the way she does when she disappoints her mother, Charming thought as he tried to stop his tears from falling. Somehow I think that was worse than what I last remember. Why couldn't Snow have chosen something else to do to me, Charming thought as he finally got the courage to talk to Snow again, who was a few steps away from him so he walked over to her.

"Do you have anything to say for your actions throughout the last few days?" Snow asked sternly and with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I'm sorry." Charming cried.

For the next few minutes, Charming and Snow hugged each other and since they weren't around Emma, they started kissing. Then they took a few steps back from each other and Charming thought this to be the perfect timing for him to Charm himself back into the good books.

"So, am I off the hook now?" Charming asked hopefully while giving Snow his charming smile. No offence Hook, was the thought that came into his head afterwards.

Snow shook her head at that and the mischievous grin on her face was what Charming didn't trust.

"I'll take that as a no then."

Snow shook her head again.

"Even if we are able to leave this island, you are grounded, and when we get back home, you are sleeping on the couch for a month." Snow said seriously.

"Well at least my grounding will be finished by the time we get home."

"Not so fast! The grounding will continue as soon as we get home!"

Charming nodded at that. Sounds fair. My only problem is it'/ been ages since I was last grounded. Well, at least I know not to lie the next time.

"Love you Snow." David said as he was now trying eagerly to get their relationship back on the good side.

"Love you too Charming." Snow said before thinking of how similar Charming and Emma actually were. "You know you are too charming for your own good and Emma takes completely after you."

They both laughed at that.
