Disclaimer: Hey guys! So ever since Episode 3 of Season 6 (The Other Shoe) came out, I've been interested in creating another fic about how Snow would react once she finds out about Charming lying to her again and going to find out more about his father's death. However, since we don't yet know any information on who killed Charming's dad, I will write this in a way that will spoil nothing. Please tell me if you like this because I might do one based on the fight that Snow and Charming have in Camelot. Plus, I've been wanting to do a fanfic based on Emma getting a spanking when she's trying to fight the darkness (Dark Swan). Will get to all the other suggestions I've been given soon but there's a few ideas I just want to concentrate on first.

This story was a bit hard to write in the end.

Warning: Might include a few punishments. Don't like, don't read.

In The Loft with Mary Margaret and Neal

It was 8:00 and Charming still wasn't back. All Mary Margaret could remember was this morning when David was leaving he had mentioned bringing Emma with him and said they would be back around 3. They were now 5 hours late. This made Mary Margaret feel angry and worried _ she was only worried about Emma and was angry that David would do something like this. As the time started ticking on, Mary Margaret began to feel overwhelmed with how long her husband and daughter were away for, and it was made even worse when neither of them answered there phones. For once I don't have to only shout at Emma when those two come in.

With David and Emma

David and Emma were looking in as many magical places as they knew for proof of who might've killed Charming's dad. Emma never knew any of the stuff she had been told about today _ how her biological actual grandfather was an alcoholic, how he died when her father was just 6 years old, and how her father put her Grandmother, Ruth, through Hell for years after that while testing everything she told him to do. At least I have a new argument for every time I get in trouble after this. They had tried at least 10 or 20 places so far and by the look of things they would not be done soon. Please let Mom phone so I can get home soon.

In The Loft with Mary Margaret and Neal

An hour had past and Mary Margaret was rocking Neal in her arms while she continued to think of the missing members of her family. Seriously David! Why do you have to find your father and get your own daughter in trouble at the same time? These thoughts started to get even deeper in to Mary Margaret's brain but within the next few minutes, she had decided she'd be better talking to her 9 month old son to forget about everything.

"Someone's Daddy and big sister are in very big trouble tonight." she said softly

Neal giggled at that and Mary Margaret looked over at the phone.

"How about we try phoning them again." Mary Margaret said quietly to Neal as she walked over to the phone and put her baby down near her and held the phone close to her ear.

Emma, please pick up this time.

With David and Emma

Emma had been standing a bit behind her father because she still wasn't sure if she would be safe after all of this was done. Yes; she trusted him and believed he would get all the answers he wanted, but she wasn't sure if now would be the right time for talking. Just then, Emma felt her phone vibrate and looked down on it to see that it was her mom calling. Should I be happy or worried about this? She has phoned Dad quite a lot of times and he hasn't answered any of them and I have ignored one so I guess this phone call won't go well for either of us. At that, Emma lifted up her phone and held it up to her ear nervously.

"Mom." Emma said nervously and she saw David turn round as if he'd been caught off.

"Emma! Are you ok?" Mary Margaret said through a few breaths.

"Yea why?"

"You didn't answer one of my phone calls." Mary Margaret said suspiciously.

"I_."

"Emma; where are you?" Mary Margaret asked in a serious voice.

"Umm."

"Emma!" Mary Margaret warned. "Where- are- you?"

"Umm, d, Dad's using me to help find out who murdered his dad."

"What!"

"Umm bye."

"I want you two h_!" Mary Margaret shouted.

Emma hung up and after a minute catching her breath and thinking of what was just said to her, she thought it would be a safe option to call after her dad.

"Dad!"

"What is it Em?"

"Emm, Mom just called and pretty much said we need to get home."

"Sure you don't want to wait a while longer?" Charming asked with his charming smile, hinting towards the amount of trouble he must be in now as he knew they'd been out a lot longer than he said they would be.

"Not really. Why? You scared you might get your butt kicked by your wife?"

"Umm n, not r, really."

"Your stutter might suggest otherwise."

"Watch it young lady!" Charming warned.

"Watch it old man." Emma said while mimicking her father's tone.

"Emma Ruth Swan!"

"David, umm, I don't know any of your other names."

David smiled at that and walked over to Emma before putting his hand around her and walking towards the exit.

"We'll be leaving things like that for now young lady because it's either Dad or Daddy to you."

They continued walking back to where the car was parked and when they got there, David made Emma sit in the back. However, when he got in the front he looked back on Emma and saw that she wasn't wearing her seat belt.

"Seat belt."

"No!"

"Emma; seat belt!"

"No!"

"Emma Ruth Swan; do I have to come back there and teach you something?"

"You wouldn't!" Emma said while gasping as she knew he'd just threatened to spank her.

"Would I not?"

"You_."

"Know what Em. This seems to be a similar situation as we were in when you were trying to fight the darkness from taking over your soul. Do you remember what happened that time?"

"Leroy told you I stole one of the axes and when you found me you told me we'd be having a conversation. Then on the way home I tested you again and you pulled over and spanked me in the car." Emma mumbled.

"Yes, and by the look of things you learnt. Now, you're nearly 31 so what makes you think I won't do the same to you now?"

"You would do the same."

"Yes, now why don't you just prevent it and put your seat belt on like a good girl."

Emma obeyed this and put her seat belt on so she could at least not get a spanking from her dad.

At The Loft

The worry that had been going through Mary Margarets emotions and thoughts had finally started to transform itself into anger. She had been planning on just letting Emma off with a talk but now felt she had earned herself a punishment, something David would also be getting. It had been 7 hours now since they were due home and while Snow was frightened that they were hurt, she still had a feeling that her inner thoughts of the two of them, or at least one, had disobeyed her. What do I have to do to get the message through to them? No matter what anyone says Emma takes so much after her dad and it is because of this that I never fail when punishing her for her rebellious, chance-taking, and care free behaviour in which she always puts others first and doesn't care what consequences will follow her actions. A few minutes later, Mary Margaret had just about given up on everything and when her anger got beyond boiling point, she stormed over, put Neal carefully into his cot, stormed over to the door and used all her strength to make the door fly open.

It was just a few seconds after the door opened when Mary Margaret heard footsteps like a herd of elephants running up the stairs, to a quick run of shadows rushing up, then the people of whom these shadows belonged to appeared and they walked slowly over to the door before stopping just outside it. This was when Mary Margaret grabbed both their arms with each of hers and dragged them in before quickly turning to the door and shutting it. Then she turned round to look at both of them with her arms folded over her chest.

"David Robert Nolan and Emma Ruth Swan Blanchard Nolan; you two have some explaining to do!" Mary Margaret shouted.

"You look brilliant tonight honey. Have you done anything like getting your hair cut shorter?" David said with that charming smile of his.

"I love you mommy." Emma said sweetly.

"No, I haven't got my hair cut David, and Emma; don't you think telling me you love me is enough to get yourself in to the clear again young lady. Both of you; couch, now!"

Both David and Emma put their heads down in shame and they walked over to the couch. Mary Margaret had to laugh at that because they just looked so similar and even the way they were now sitting beside each other on the couch was adorable. She could even see how they were discussing who was in more trouble and she had to wait for a minute before going over to them by which time she was tapping her foot and looking at them with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Let me start with you Emma! Number one: you do not stay out this late when working on an investigation and_!"

"Hey! Why are you shouting at me about this! It was Dad's fault we're back so late because he got us in to so much danger! I didn't_."

"I understand that Emma but you are still in trouble for not coming home at the time I was expecting you, and David; this is something we will be discussing later on Mister! Number two: you do not ignore any of my calls, and Number Three: you do not hang up on me! You know all this is wrong young lady so why did you do it?"

"I, I." Emma stuttered as she couldn't think of an answer.

"Exactly, you can't come up with an excuse. Emma Ruth Swan; I am so disappointed in you and as a result you are grounded for a week, you're not getting anything from Granny's for a week, and you're banned from all technology for a week as well!"

"Mom I don't even live here any more!"

"You're getting your old room back! Now get upstairs!"

Emma obeyed at once and got up and went upstairs. However, when she was just walking past her mom she felt a sharp pain hit her butt.

"Hey!"

"That should be enough to get the message through. Upstairs!"

Emma started to go up to her room again but turned round quickly just as she started to go upstairs.

"See you later David Robert Nolan."

"Emma Ruth Swan Nolan; you are getting yourself in to a whole lot of trouble!" David shouted and Emma ran up to her room.

Then Mary Margaret turned her attention towards David and looked at him with anger and disappointment.

"Is it just something about the way you're standing tonight? There's just something about you that_." David started to attempt charming his way in to the good books but was caught off when Snow glared at him. "Sorry."

"David; when you made this deal with Gold we had a discussion after it and agreed that you wouldn't do it if it meant dragging yourself away from your family! Why then would you get your daughter in trouble as well?"

"I didn't want to get her in trouble as well! I just_!" David stopped, not knowing how to finish his argument.

"No, you didn't! You didn't know your daughter shouldn't have to do something like this! If you are told to not get involved with something you don't do it!"

"Em was involved with us not being home on time as well." David screamed like he was losing control.

"Don't! Don't you dare try to make your own mistakes look like they weren't your fault! Now, where's your letter explaining who murdered your father?" Snow changed her tone to sounding suspicious at the end.

"Here." Charming said slowly as he lifted up the letter that was in his coat pocket and started to talk again as Mary Margaret started to walk towards the candle. "Mary Margaret; you can't do this! I just found out who the murderer might be and it's_."

"No David! I don't want to hear any more! Lean over the arm of the couch." Mary Margaret said as she left the letter by the candle that was now lit.

After Mary Margaret was satisfied with where the letter was and was happy that the candle was now lit, she walked over to where David was and that was over the arm of the couch.

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, Mary Margaret laid some hard smacks down.

"Get up now Charming." Mary Margaret said and David got up but with his arm covering his eyes.

"I'm sorry." David cried as soon as he was up and he started kissing Mary Margaret.

This went on for another few minutes by which time both Mary Margaret and David knew that they were both forgiven for annoying each other. Nevertheless, David still believed he could charm himself in to the good books by the time they had finished, and so, he looked as passionately in to her eyes as he could master after.

"So can I get into our bed now?"

Mary Margaret shook her head and went into her room before coming out with a pillow and a blanket.

"No. That's not going to happen, Mister. Instead, you have been grounded to the couch for the next month and you will be sleeping here for the next few weeks."

"Sorry."

"That's fine. Now, I think it would be a good idea for you to go to bed now." Mary Margaret said and then went to her own room.

David got his pillows and blanket down on the couch and then got in so he could forget about everything. At least I can start working on a way to be better behaved around her.
