Disclaimer: First of all I just want to say thanks to everyone who has read all these one shots and have stuck with me. When I posted The Result of Running to Smash a Mirror, I didn't honestly think I would get to 13 chapters so soon, but hey. here we are! Anyway, this is a fanfic based on episode Street Rats of Season 6 and it's going to concentrate on the part of the episode when Emma gets caught out on her lie. Looking back through quite a lot of the reviews you've all given me, it's a common suggestion to have Mary Margaret punish Emma instead, and as far as I can see this is what a few of you seem to like about my other fanfic, Our Time in the Enchanted Forrest (not that that has anything to do with these one shots other than its still about the same series).So in this chapter, it will be Mary Margaret who deals the most with Emma from the lie throughout. Also, a few things in this might be different than what we see in the actual episode, but it's only been done for the story.
Warning: Will include spanking. Don't like, don't read.
Mary Margaret, David, Regina, Killian and Henry were all waiting near the door of the loft but inside as they waited for Emma. They were all here for the same reason though and that was so they could ask Emma about the one thing they were all worried about _ Emma's hand trembling continuously. All of them had been worrying about her but it was mostly David and Mary Margaret who were worrying about her the most. It wasn't they didn't trust her _ they did, but it was the fact that she'd done so much to put herself in trouble already that made them unsure of what she'd do now. Just before the curse broke Emma had drove into a lamppost to get full custody of Henry, then after the curse when she and Mary Margaret got sent through a portal to The Enchanted Forest she ordered for Mulan to cut down the beanstalk if she wasn't back in time, and then just after baby Neal was born the real trouble began. Since Neal's birth Emma had got involved with the ice cave and nearly got herself killed when she ended up with Hyperthermia, then she decided she wanted to get rid of her magic without telling anyone where she was going, how long she was going to be, or what she was doing, even if it did involve Rumple which Emma knew her parents would be against. The consequence for doing that was a spanking and getting grounded so needless to say that she was not happy with her parents for a while after this although she did understand why it was happening. After that Emma attached herself to the darkness to save the lives everyone else in Storybrooke but by doing so both her parents saw loads of problems arising which then followed them down to The Underworld. Now back home, The Charmings knew there were still going to be some hard challenges ahead but they trusted Emma to tell them if anything was ever wrong.
While Mary Margaret and David were trying to do their best being positive, Killian on the other hand, wasn't. He thought of himself as the closest person Emma had and plus he was the only one who probably knew enough of her backstory to know that it made her the way that she is. Therefore, the way Emma was acting recently made him feel betrayed. I know you're hiding something from me, Lass. Why don't you tell me what's bothering you, love?
Just as everyone looked at each other as if to say they were giving up, Emma came in and looked around like the atmosphere was telling her something wasn't right.
"What's wrong?" Emma asked.
"We've just reached a dead end trying to find Aladdin." David explained.
"Yea. We tried a locator spell, it didn't work. Everything he had he stole." Mary Margaret added.
"And we're just giving up!"
"Not giving up exactly but it doesn't look good."
"So we might not find Aladdin." Jasmine said.
Emma didn't even have a moment to look over everything she'd been told by the time Archie came in.
"Which means your running out of excuses Emma." Archie said as soon as he came in.
"Did you follow me here?" Emma asked, thinking it was weird that he was here even though she's just been talking to him a few minutes ago.
"Yes, I mean, look; I couldn't leave knowing that you were going to continue to lie to yourself and to your family."
"What's going on?" Mary Margaret said as she and Charming moved closer to Emma.
"Emma has a secret." Archie said.
"Archie!" Emma snapped.
"No, continue." Killian said as he was growing even more serious.
"Killian." Emma said while turning around.
"Emma, if he thinks he can help, cricket's always been on your side."
"Mom, please." Henry said with that everlasting tone of hope he always had.
Emma took that as a sign that telling her family and friends her secret would be better, even if she got in trouble for it.
"I've been having these visions of what I think is my future. I've been shaking, in the vision, I die." Emma said and Mary Margaret and David went closer to each other as soon as they heard that. "According to Hyde all saviours die. Aladdin was also a saviour so I thought if I found him, if I found him alive, that he could help me avoid my fate."
As soon as they heard heard this, everyone in the small space thought they had been betrayed, but none of them looked more hurt than Killian who was now looking at Emma like he was speechless and disappointed. I knew there was something wrong with you Swan! You shouldn't have bloody hidden any of that from us! Just then, Archie stepped out Emma started to walk back and that was when all the questions started rushing in. However, no one knew that the person pretending to be Archie was in fact the Evil Queen, and she was now outside laughing at how Emma was getting a good telling off.
"So you lied to us!" Killian scolded.
"Do you not trust us?" Regina asked.
"We are your family." Charming said softly.
"Emma; you don't keep secrets from your family!" Mary Margaret scolded.
"And you die? What does this mean?" Henry asked.
Emma bit her lip and gulped before she answered.
"I, I, umm, sorry guys."
A second after Emma said that, Mary Margaret came forward, grabbed Emma's hand and started dragging her towards the couch. Henry bit his lip as he knew just what his mom was going to be getting.
"And here I thought spanking you at the bottom of that beanstalk would be the end of you hiding secrets from me!" Snow scolded as she dragged Emma over to the couch, sat down and brought her down over her lap.

Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack, Mary Margaret started spanking Emma's left butt cheek extra hard and made sure to keep it up for each swat.
"You don't hide secrets from us young lady!"

"OW MOMMY!" Emma cried and both Henry and Killian had to stop themselves laughing at how childish she was acting.

"P, please s, stop m, mommy." Emma cried.
Snow stopped mid smack but only so she could let Emma understand what the meaning of this punishment was.
"You can take this punishment as a warning to not hide secrets from us missy! I am very disappointed in you young lady and after this punishment finishes an apology is more than needed!"
Then Mary Margaret lifted her hand up again and continued the spanking, although the swats were harder.
Smack Smack Smack smack smack, Snow continued adding to Emma's right butt cheek.
Then she started paying attention to Emma's sit spots while keeping up the same force.

By the time this spanking was finished, Emma was in tears crying and Mary Margaret felt her heart melting. However, she still wanted to have a conversation with her daughter and so, she sat her up on her knee so they would still be facing each other. The only problem was though that Killian was still laughing at Emma's tear-stained face and this was something she saw but didn't say anything because it would no doubt make her get another 31 smacks.
"Do you have anything you want to say for yourself young lady?" Mary Margaret asked firmly.
"S, sorry." Emma cried but only through a whisper that could hardly be heard.
"A bit louder sweetheart."
"Sooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry." Emma cried and although the majority of the word still couldn't be understood, it was loud enough.
"That's ok baby, that's ok. Shh. You're forgiven. Shh." Mary Margaret soothed as she rubbed Emma's back and stroked her hair.
Emma calmed down within a few moments of this.
"Sorry Mama." Emma said quietly.
Mary Margaret smiled at this and kissed Emma's head before looking at her firmly again.
"Now, as we were saying about your punishment, because you decided to hide this secret from us instead of telling us, I want you to go and sit on that chair till I come to talk to you. You are lucky this is all you're getting Emma Ruth Swan but it is because I can't ground you anymore since you moved out! If you still lived here you'd be more than grounded!"
Emma got up and went to her old room while rubbing her bum. Mary Margaret went over to David as soon as Emma was out of sighed.
"I don't know what to do with her." Mary Margaret said quickly.
"Just talk to her about her behaviour. You'll be fine." Charming advised.
"It's just I haven't punished her since she moved out. What if_."
"Just imagine she still lives here. You'll get through it. Anyhow, you still shout at me for lying and hiding stuff from you. Does this_."
"It doesn't mean you get off easier, Shepherd Boy!"
For the next lot of minutes, Mary Margaret and David started talking about what they should do to help Emma escape this fate. Nevertheless, 30 minutes passed quickly, and when she saw that the time was now up, Snow walked in to Emma's old room and sat on the chair facing her. David decided to talk to Killian instead.
"You should've been honest!" Mary Margaret scolded lightly.
"I didn't lie, I just," Emma said while avoiding eye contact and making some of her words longer before she freaked for a second. "Got scared."
"Which is exactly when you should talk to your mother."
"Can you forgive me?" Emma asked through fear.
"Of course I forgive you, we're your parents. We'll always forgive you, but what about him?" Mary Margaret said, hinting towards Killian who was still talking to David. "You tried to build something. Look, your father and I may not be perfect, but we don't hide secrets from each other." Mary Margaret said, not wanting Emma to know about the time her father had lied to her mother in Neverland.
"Yea, I'm sorry." Emma replied.
"Come here." Mary Margaret said while holding her arms out and Emma rushed into the hug. "Love you baby girl."
"Love you too mom."
