Disclaimer: Hey guys! So this part 3 of Captain Rides Into The Iceberg and it was requested by SwanQueen135 who wanted to see why Emma was in trouble with David in the station and the conversation they were going to have. This is combined with a storyline I came up with and lilyflower101 who argued they should've comforted Killian. Snow is absent from this because she's pregnant with Neal and is seeking advice on how to parent from all round Storybrooke. As for lilyflower101's review, I will be using your request in Parts 3 and 4 but please understand that what I did in Part 2 was intentional because I wanted to continue on the comforting purposes. Lastly; this chapter is going to feature Killian mentally getting told off and comforted by characters from his past so I hope you like it. Please check out my new series Captain Sucked Into The Submarine as well which is a series concentrating on a teen Killian and Emma.
Warning: Will contain adult spanking and childish punishments being given to an adult man, as well as some childish behaviour. Don't like, don't read.
When David got out to the car Emma knew she was in trouble. From that moment earlier today, she knew she was definitely in trouble with her father and this was made even clearer by the silent treatment he was showing her. When she returned from New York and found out her mom was pregnant she did feel happy for her but that didn't mean she didn't have any jealousy. She was angry at the fact that her mom was getting a second chance and thought both her parents were trying to replace her, thus showing they only wanted to create their new little family and obviously forget about her. Throughout the last few weeks David and Mary Margaret had tried their best to emphasise with Emma that it didn't matter if they added to their family or not _ they'd still love her, but nothing had helped and they knew this would get worse when the baby was born. That was the basis around what happened earlier with the fight Emma and her dad had had.
...
(FLASHBACK)
"Em, when your brother's born I'm going to need you to help out here a lot more because I'm taking time off to help support your mom."
"Seriously Dad! I'm not your slave!" Emma said with attitude.
"Emma Ruth; stop the attitude!" David warned in his most serious Dad voice, trying to tackle the attitude straight away.
"Attitude? I'm not a fucking child! I can talk to you however the Hell I want!"
David took a deep breath into himself while he tried to maintain his anger at his daughter swearing.
"Emma Ruth Swan; this is a warning. You lose this attitude now and the language or you're standing in that corner for half an hour!" David warned as he pointed to the corner closest to his office.
"What the fuck? You can't put me in timeout! You_ umm, what's happening?" Emma asked as she realised she was uncontrollably being moved to the corner her father had threatened her with.
"You had a warning young lady and you didn't listen," David said in a firm voice as he got Emma into the corner and then turned her round to face him. "You can stay here for half an hour and think of what you did." He then turned her back to face the wall and went into the office.
About half way through the timeout David was called to check something outside the station. The threats from Zalena hadn't stopped so at any given moment he had to go outside the station to check on things. After he'd been called David took a moment to reconsider if he should leave or not. Not that I don't trust my daughter but I know from what Snow has told me that if she turns her back or leaves without anyone else being there Emma would take that as her time to run. For another minute, he continued to think about whether or not he should leave Emma alone or not and in the end he decided she'd be fine. However, just as he was leaving he turned to her and said "I have to go and check something. Please try to stay out of trouble." At that, he left, and Emma waited until he was out of earshot to put her plan into action. When she was sure he was outside Emma took a few steps away from the corner and then went into her Dad's office and messed the whole place up. She then snuck out the back of the station and headed quickly towards Granny's.
After he had finished outside, David went back to the station. When he got into the office the first things David noticed was that Emma wasn't where he'd left her and that his office now looked like an explosion had gone off. "Young lady you are in so much trouble when I find you!" David said to himself as he rushed out to the cruiser. When he was getting in David was panicking and thinking of where Emma had went but then he realised how she did know about the grounding Killian had been given a few days before. Being aware of this, David guessed Emma would be by somewhere Killian related, meaning either the docks or Granny's. and when he drove all the way over there he saw her trying to figure out what way he could get in. The first thing David did was get out of the car and closed the door so it would make a noise. This is what made Emma jump.
"Car now!" Was all David had to say and Emma got in while keeping her head down in shame.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
...
Well, there wasn't much more to say. When they got back to the office David made sure to put Emma straight back into the corner and it was then that he had to pick up his walkie talkie to talk to Smee. Now, they were both in the car and Emma was starting to feel overly nervous for how much trouble she was in. She guessed Killian was the reason why her Dad was in such a bad mood right now but she wasn't going to ask about it or she would be getting herself into even more trouble. Although she did want to talk beforehand Emma managed to stay quiet until they parked outside and the silence was broken when they got into the loft.
"Table," David said as soon as they got in and Emma instantly obeyed.
As soon as he saw Emma had settled by the table David sighed into himself before going to get a coffee. He planned to try to take a few minutes to calm down and decide what Emma's punishment should be by which time he will have hopefully calmed down. Emma, on the otherhand, was leaning over the table with her arms out in front of her with her head rested the table. As if giving me the silent treatment wasn't bad enough! Now I have to sit here in silence for half an hour! I'm so bored! Running down to Granny's today without permission was the only bit of crack I got! Thinking of how Dad is feeling I better start thinking of what I could do tonight to entertain myself. Normally I'd phone Killian but at the minute I'm still angry at him for kidnapping my son and sticking him on a boat, and I support that he has to live out a grounding for it so out of all the people I want to talk to he'd be the last. I'll phone him if he's the only person I can talk to though. It was these thoughts that were in Emma's mind for most of her timeout and in all honesty; she only started thinking of why she was here when five minutes were left. That was an easy half hour, she thought sarcastically to herself as David walked over after the alarm went off. The next thing he did was sit down beside her and this is what made Emma look into his eyes.
"Emma; I am very disappointed in what you did today. You do not take your anger to the news of your new brother or sister out by having an attitude and for that, you can feel happy that you have an early bedtime."
"WHAT!?" Emma screamed out of shock.
"Emma Ruth Swan; don't argue with me!"
"Newsflash Dad: I'm a grown adult and you can't tell me what I can or cannot do, especially when I go to bed or not!"
"Newsflash Emma: you're grounded!" David said even more firmly and like he was putting the law down.
Emma froze in shock for a minute as she thought of what her Dad just said. He'd grounded her? It was only ever her mom who grounded her. No! Her Dad didn't have that right, Did he?
"You can't ground me!" Emma tried to fight.
"I think you'll find I can young lady!"
"But."
"Emma Ruth Swan! I have already had to add a month to a certain person's grounding today! You do not want to test me!"
Emma sighed into herself while accepting she'd lost the fight. Good going, Dad! In fairness, mom would've had at least given me one smack by now.
"How long?" Emma asked
"For one week. Now, go to your room and I don't want to hear or see you for the rest of the night!" David ordered
At that Emma got up and started heading upstairs to her room. However, she did make a mistake when she was just passing her Dad and that was her choice to use attitude again.
"Looks like someone went overboard with his patience today," Emma mumbled into herself, hoping her Dad didn't hear her but then all she felt was a strong grip going around her arm followed by ten very hard smacks.
"As I said go to your room! I think it's fair that you come wherever I go while your grounding continues. You can lose this attitude while you're up there." David said and Emma hurried up to her room.
...
Although Emma had specifically heard her Dad saying Early bedtime when she was downstairs she didn't listen to that advice when she got into her room. As she had originally thought, she couldn't talk to anyone on her contact list because they were either busy or sleeping. Being out of options, she decided to call Killian's cell and was delighted when he didn't answer it. Good! Must have got his phone confiscated. Then she came up with another idea. I might be able to get through on the landlines Granny has in the Diner rooms so she phoned again and got through.
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
Following the spanking he had received this evening and the one he had got earlier in the afternoon, Killian was having a hard time trying to get asleep even if he was told to get to bed early. At the minute he was just lying with his eyes closed so that if Granny came in she would think he was sleeping, thus preventing any further punishments. The pain that could currently be felt from the spankings he'd received were also making Killian lie on his side because if his butt touched anything it made him wince. Nonetheless, this was an advantage for Emma because when she phoned, Killian answered as fast as he could.
"Hello?" Killian said as he got up and winced while grabbing the phone.
...
Emma's Room
"Um, hi Killian! I still stand behind me not trusting you anymore but um, you ok?"
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Actually no love. It appears I'm stuck here for the upcoming future."
...
Emma's Room
"What do you mean? Did you get grounded some more? If you are it's the same here."
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Well love, it appears my month's grounding is now two months. Plus as well I'm not sleeping very well because my butt aches."
...
Emma's Room
"Wait. So Dad wasn't lying? Well after what you tried to do to my son you deserved all this."
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Believe me. I am definitely not enjoying myself. Advice to you Swan: listen to your father! And I think a thank you is what is needed considering I saved your son's life."
...
Emma's Room
"As I've told you before Henry's safety is my responsibility and not yours! That is the whole reason I don't want to talk to you now but it appears despite this we have to see each other tomorrow. I'm grounded as well hence why I'm not allowed away from Dad."
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Why would I be seeing you tomorrow if you don't want to see me and we're both grounded?" Killian said confused.
...
Emma's Room
"I have to go everywhere Dad goes so will be coming over to Granny's tomorrow. You still got chores?"
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Yeah. A lot more now that my grounding's been extended."
...
"I'll see you tomorrow then. So_." Emma was then cut off by Killian at the other side of the phone.
...
Killian's Room at Granny's
"Oh shit! Granny's at my door now! See you tomorrow love, bye!" Killian rushed and then dropped the phone, jumped into bed, then rolled onto his side slightly.
Granny came in, looked around, and tried to see if anything was different. "That's strange. I thought I heard noise in here," she said but then realised that the landline phone had moved since she was last up here. Then she went over to put it back where it was supposed to be but stopped after. This young man should know that he's not allowed to phone anyone while he's grounded or has been told to get to bed early. That's the reason why I've confiscated his mobile and I will not be disrespected like this! Just as she finished thinking this she smacked Killian two times with her hand while scolding him quickly and she then went out. Killian's only response was to give out a loud whimper and after the door closed he pulled the walkie talkie he'd been hiding up to his mouth.
"Swan, thanks a lot! I just got my ass beat again." Killian said in the same whimper.
...
The next day
Considering she knew Killian had been up very late last night but only because of the spankings he had received, Granny let him sleep a bit later. However, she hadn't forgotten about catching him trying to disguise everything when he was about to get caught on the phone and this was something she planned to discuss with him later. Following the spankings he had received and the small one he had got after talking to Emma, Killian wasn't able to get to sleep until at least 4 or 5 o, clock in the morning and this was probably only because he cried himself to sleep. Nevertheless, in respect of this Granny let Killian sleep in until half 9 that morning, but when he was woken he was definitely in bad form. Throughout the morning if Granny even tried to ask him to do something Killian would snap when replying to her and at one point this had lead to Granny threatening to punish him like a child if he tested her again. This all lead to now. Killian was more than aware of the chores he had to do and how they'd been doubled but when he started each one he grunted, moaned, and was behaving like an overgrown child. None of this went unnoticed by Granny. As soon as she saw him deliver the wrong dish to a customer, watched as the customer explained how it was wrong and re-explained what she wanted, and witnessed Killian say "Why don't you just bloody leave then? You've probably had a restful night sleep! I, on the overhand, was sent to my room at half six last night and was told to get to bed at seven! So fucking ungrateful!" Granny was quick to step in.
"Killian; get over here!" Granny yelled and Killian looked up as soon as this angry voice said his name but instead of going over stayed right where he was.
"Someone's in trouble with Grandmother." The customer teased and Killian growled down and was just about to hurt her when the same angry voice rose again.
"Killian Arthur; what did I say? Get over here now young man!" Granny said even more sternly.
Killian then picked up the plate, came over to where Granny was, carefully put it on the counter and then turned round to face her but while still leaning on the counter.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Granny asked in the most sternest voice she could manage.
Killian froze while he thought. Well if that fucking bitch hadn't have started all this everything would be fine.
"Nothing," Killian answered proudly as he folded his arms over his chest.
"Killian; you do not treat anyone like that! I understand you haven't had the easiest life but manners should be the one thing which should be hammered into you!"
"Well it doesn't help you smacked me while I tried to sleep last night!"
"You do not phone anyone while you're grounded, young man!" Granny shouted and then took a moment to catch her breath before continuing. "Now, you can continue with your chores and if there is any more trouble I will not hesitate to punish you," Granny warned before walking away.
Killian stayed still for a minute and took that time to think of how he was feeling. Had he not spent most of last night awake, talking to Emma, and crying; he may not have been able to manage his anger completely, but would be more careful of not letting his bad mood show. After thinking of his outburst for a minute, Killian tried to start going back to his chores but was stopped when Red came up to him.
"You having a good time today?" Red asked
"Well considering my butt hurts like crazy: no," Killian answered
"Well there is one thing I've learnt will sort that."
"What?"
"Staying out of trouble. Something you don't seem to know how to do."
"Your grandmother didn't have to smack me last night without questioning whether or not I'd be on the phone."
"You didn't have to answer the phone! Killian; when Granny's grounded me I haven't been allowed to be on any phone! Why should you have a different rule?"
"Whatever!" Killian shrugged as he grabbed a dart off a nearby table and threw it in Granny's direction.
"Granny!" Red shouted as she saw what Killian had done
Granny turned round as soon as Red shouted which was just in time for her to catch the dart and as soon as she had she put it in the top drawer of the counter. Killian, meanwhile, had tried to take a few steps back but his luck ran out when Granny stormed angrily over to him before using her left arm to put a tight grip on Killian's arm and with the other hand she pulled out a chair which was the closest and from the table they were standing by. As soon as the chair was out she forced Killian to sit down and then moved in front of him.
"You can stay here and think of what you did until you are told you can move!" Granny scolded before she and Red walked away.
Anger and annoyance immediately hit Killian. Wait! What just happened? I'm a fucking adult and can't be treated like this no matter what happened over the last few days. The corner is one thing but I'm way too old for the naughty chair! Over the next few minutes, Killian's anger began to get worse and he eventually started stamping his feet hard enough so the Diner would be full of noise. Even this, however, was ignored by Granny who continued working even if she had to walk past Killian who tried to get louder when she did. The same happened with Red who was the one who constantly warned Killian that if he didn't listen he could go to the corner instead but nothing ever happened further on that. He then started shouting things out but even this was ignored. By the time Killian's timeout was just half way finished he was becoming even more bored and was nearly admitting defeat. That was when Killian noticed that Granny was talking to Geppetto and while they were both in the same position he picked up a knife that was sitting on a nearby table and threw it in Granny's direction. Luckily, it jumped off the counter instead of hurting her but as soon as Granny saw it Killian knew he was in more trouble.
"Geppetto, please excuse me. I have to go and take care of something." Granny said as she turned round and Geppeto smiled and nodded while he watched her turn. "Young man; you, up, now!" Granny said as she grabbed Killian's hand and dragged him over to the corner.
Killian's original thoughts were Well at least I don't have to sit in this dumb chair anymore but going by Granny's facial expressions he was in more trouble than he realised. This was further emphasised when a tight grip was all he could feel around his arm and pulling against it became nearly impossible. "Don't even think about it young man," Granny warned sternly as she tried even harder to drag Killian to the corner and as soon as he was there and facing the wall she grabbed a wooden spoon which was sitting on another nearby counter. When Killian turned his head slightly and saw it he bit his lip and turned back as he waited for her to start.
Smack smack smack smack smack, Smack smack smack smack smack Granny smacked him as hard as she could. "Now, you can go and sit back down and your timeout's restarting."
Killian headed back to the chair he had been originally sent to with his head down and as soon as he sat down he winced. Christ! This is a thousand times worse now! What made it even worse was that since Granny had openly declared his timeout was restarting absolutely everyone except Granny and Red were staring at him. Ten minutes later David and Emma came in and Killian blushed knowing it was a bad time for at least his hopefully someday girlfriend to come in.
"Emma; please go and find a table so you can get started with the paper work I gave you," David said.
Emma nodded in agreement and looked round to see what table was free. While she was doing so she saw that Killian was sitting on one of the chairs with nothing in front of him and with the expression on his face which would suggest he was bored. Oh. Someone must have got in trouble this morning. Before she went over to him Emma looked back at her Dad who she then realised was talking to Granny and knowing her path was clear, went over to Killian and settled just behind but not quite beside him.
"You enjoying your timeout?" Emma asked in a mocking tone.
"Shut up Swan!" Killian mumbled
"So I guessed you caused trouble to end up here."
"Yeah. I kinda tried to hurt Granny twice instead of doing chores and this one is because I tried to hurt her fifteen minutes after she told me to sit here." Killian answered annoyed.
"Oh. Well, I know Dad has to talk to Granny about something soon so do you want to take that time to do something outside?" Emma asked mischievously
"Yes, yes. Now can you not get me in more tr_."
"Emma; go and find a table to work at. No talking to Killian for a few minutes." David said and Emma immediately started walking towards the closest free table.
"Killian; y_."
"Yeah. Timeout's restarting. I know." Killian said with attitude.
"You can lose this attitude throughout the next couple of minutes as well young man!"
Killian's only response was to roll his eye. I will use attitude if I bloody well want to use attitude! Technically Granny isn't related to me and Dave isn't either so they can't tell me what I can or cannot do! I also didn't sleep well last night so it's their fault I'm using attitude and feeling grumpy because if they hadn't have insisted in punishing me I wouldn't be like this. Granny, on the otherhand, responded to Killian's eye role by sighing. I can warn you to lose this attitude or to get in even more trouble than you're already in!
After a few more minutes David and Granny started to talk about what they needed to do. Although Granny no longer believed the lie that a thief tried to steal from them yesterday, David knew there had been someone doing the rounds so they guessed they should check out the back just in case. Before wasting any more time they headed out the back and just as she walked past, Granny said to Killian "Stay here." They then went out and when they were finally out Emma jumped into action.
"Right. Let's get out now!" Emma said loud enough that neither Granny or her Dad could hear and Killian got up, winced, and followed her out tiredly.
...
When Emma eventually got Killian outside she brought him out the side of Granny's where she knew Zalena would've been hiding. Killian, however, was only following her so he could support her but secretly knew that running off would get him into more trouble. Someday I'm going to stop following this woman, he thought to himself as he stayed behind. As they were approaching the witch Killian froze a minute while thinking I wonder if I could just run now and go back to sitting that timeout Granny put me on. Within a minute Killian had kind of decided that he'd rather be getting into less trouble than more and at that moment he decided to speak up.
"Swan?"
"It's fine Killian. You'll be fine." Emma assured before turning her attention to Zalena. "Hey, Greenie! Let's see who's better at controlling our magic!"
...
Everything at the back of Granny's was fine so neither Granny or David found a need to worry. While they were heading back in however they did notice something was going on but they guessed it didn't involve Killian or Emma because they had given them both the same warnings. That purple smoke outside looks a lot like what happened after the curse broke so it must have something to do with magic but I doubt our two troublemakers have anything to do with it, David thought. Granny on the otherhand was thinking something different: I know Emma has been scared of using her magic recently but even if she's involved with this I doubt Killian would be because he looked like he didn't want to test me again when I had to punish him for the second time this morning. When they got back into the main entrance though Granny was the first to notice that A) Killian wasn't where she left him ten minutes ago and David noticed that B) Emma wasn't sitting at any of the tables.
"Killian Arthur Jones / Emma Ruth Swan!" They both shouted at the same time as each other.
For the next few minutes, Granny and David continued to fill with anger and over time their hands raised to their hips. That boy is in so much trouble when I find him, Granny thought angrily to herself. He clearly remembers what happened last night and still, he chooses not to listen! Not only that but I also made it quite clear before I went out the back that he was to stay right where he was until his time was up! Fast forward ten minutes and he's ran off again thus showing that I have to become harsher! David meanwhile was doubting that Emma had anything to do with this but wasn't putting it past her. Em, please don't tell me you're the one who started all this, David thought as he began to sigh into himself. A minute later the dust started flowing over the outside of the Diner and Emma and Killian could be seen at the back of it. As soon as they saw them David and Granny stormed out and before Killian and Emma could get hurt or sucked into the portal they called for Gold. Although it took a bit of time to get the Dark One's dagger and to order Rumple to help them he eventually did but after all the disruption got sorted he was quick to go back to the Pawnshop. That was when Granny and David turned their attention to Killian and Emma who both put their heads down in shame at the same time as each other.
"You two; inside, now!" Granny and David said sternly and followed behind Emma and Killian as they both obeyed.
Once inside Granny grabbed Killian's good hand and dragged him over to a nearby table and left him beside Emma who had been dragged over to the same table by David. When they were beside each other Granny and David walked away so they could calm down. Meanwhile, Killian and Emma started talking quietly to each other.
"I'm sorry I've got you in more trouble Captain," Emma told Killian
"It's fine love. I've probably got myself into a whole lot of mess anyway."
"Well I'll guess you'll be able to add to the amount of trouble you're in anyway since being the local bad boy seems to be your thing."
"Aye love. That's the plan."
"You be quiet young man!" Granny warned while she turned the sign round to closed to usher everyone out.
Killian replied to this by nodding quietly into himself and putting his head down slightly. Why didn't I listen to what I was told today and not test the limits again? Not only that but I'm going to have to explain what I did to Granny as well as why I did it so I'm probably right in saying that I'm in for quite a long lecture when she's ready for me. Once they got everyone out Granny and David went to sit down by the entrance of the diner and took this time to calm down, they had however made it completely clear to Killian and Emma that they were still to remain quiet. A few minutes later they decided they were ready to deal with what had happened and David walked over to near the back of Granny's before calling Emma over.
"Emma; come over here so I can deal with you please," David called
Emma obeyed and walked over to where her Dad was sitting. Killian meanwhile nodded and smiled into himself while he listened to what was being said to Emma as his thoughts went back to what was no doubt his future. Granny came over to him a minute later and dragged him over to the couch near the entrance.
"Explain." She said after turning him round to face her just as she sat down.
"I only went out because Emma convinced me to go out."
"Emma Ruth Swan; is that true?" David asked Emma sternly as he overheard what was said.
"Yes sir. It is." Emma answered positively
"You are in big trouble young lady!"
"Please explain what you meant by that Killian."
"When you told me off earlier for talking to Emma she told me that we should run out when you and Dave went out the back."
"Right. I went out fifteen minutes after that and by the time I came back ten minutes after you were gone. What happened after I left?"
"I umm, uh, um, m, might have w, waited f, for when Emma said to g, go out t, to follow her and run off."
"You were told yesterday that if you ran again there would be consequences! What were you thinking?"
"Aye mate, I followed while knowing about the consequences but only because I was too tired to think otherwise."
"So you ran knowing A: you were grounded and B: you were still in timeout! Young man; that has got you into even more trouble and we will be returning to this rather soon."
"Yes ma'am," Killian answered with his head down
"Now I no longer want to have to shout at you about running off when you're getting punished young man and because of that you can get yourself stretched out over my knee."
"What?" Killian asked shocked because he thought she could at least try to see it through his pov
"Killian; at the minute prior to what you believe I have listened to your reasons behind running and breaking the rules again but it still means you have to take the consequences! Either I smack you with my hand or your grounding gets extended for a week and you get the belt."
What the bloody Hell are those options? Neither of them sounds good but I can kinda blame myself for letting it get so bad. The pain from last night is still pretty clear though and although my grounding getting extended would be the easier option having to go through it is the pain which sounds even worse. If I choose the first option I would still be spending a bit of my grounding in pain but I know from the first day of my grounding that the spanking I got when I was in the boathouse on that day David handed out my punishment that by the next day it didn't hurt that much and that was the same until I pulled that prank on Granny and she used the spoon on me. That honestly means that her smacking me with her hand sounds a lot better and at least I can look forward to it not hurting tomorrow.
"Um, first option please."
"Right. Let's get this started with then." Granny said as she lowered Killian over her knee at the same time as David did the same with Emma.
Smack smack smack smack smack, Granny started smacking Killian with quite a bit of force on his left butt cheek.
"O, OW GRANNY!" Killian cried as he heard David smack Emma three times
Smack smack smack
Smack Smack
"P, please stop!" Killian cried just as David smacked Emma seven more times but then seemed to stop. This is so unfair!
Smack smack smack smack smack, Smack smack smack smack smack, Granny added to Killian's right butt cheek
"P, please, AH, p, please s, stop!"
"Almost done," Granny said while adding five more smacks but on Killian's sit spots.
"I'M S, SORRY!" Killian cried
Smack smack smack smack smack, Granny finished before letting Killian up.
As soon as he got up Killian began to try to walk away so he could escape the chance of anyone seeing the tears in his eyes but was caught by a tight grip as soon as he moved just a few steps.
"Hold on! Anything you want to say?" Granny hinted
"Sorry," Killian said, his voice slightly croaky.
"What for?"
Killian paused a minute while he thought. Technically this is for not listening and running when Granny told me not to so I'm better apologising for that.
"For running when I knew I was getting punished."
"Come here," Granny said softly as she put her arms out so she could offer them to Killian as a hug. Although it took a while he finally accepted it and allowed Granny to at least just comfort him like a guardian. "I recognise this is where I went wrong with you last night and I'm sorry for that but you're forgiven now." she finished saying as she comfortably continued to hug the pirate and a couple of seconds later patted him carefully on the back before going back.
"Um, G, Granny can I ask something?" Killian asked politely enough
"Sure Killian. What is it?"
"Um, w, why was I punished more than Emma for the same thing th, that she lead me into?"
"Killian; you don't bring my daughter into something that you're to blame for!" David warned
"But she persuaded me to go out and made my time on the chair restart and then made me get into even more trouble because I couldn't come back when I knew I should have!"
"You thought of coming back to restart the amount of time you'd been away?" Granny asked intrigued
"Aye love."
Granny sighed into herself as she comprehended what Killian had told her. If I had have known all this I would've made his spanking a lot lighter.
"David, they should've got the exact same amount as each other!"
"Why wasn't it like that?" Killian whined in a childish manner
"Killian; no whining!" Granny warned
"I can do whatever I want!" Killian huffed before stamping his foot and kicking a chair.
Granny sighed at the shocking behaviour she saw from Killian. I think the number of hours this young man was up last night is finally starting to come through.
"Killian I have listened to what you said and I understand that you only followed because of tiredness. However, the point still remains that you ran when you knew you were in timeout and grounded and because of that I think you can spend half an hour in your room since you obviously can't be trusted to sit without causing disruption in public. You can think of being rude to the customers this morning, trying to hurt me twice, running when you were in timeout, and think of how you can lose this new attitude!"
"Seriously!"
"Yes, Killian, now go up to your room!" Granny ordered
"But!"
"Now!" Granny finished while pointing towards the stairs.
Killian nodded to himself before walking towards the stairs. Although he did manage to keep his temper under control for the most part, it proved more difficult when he got over to the entrance and saw Emma smirking beside him. He then picked something up and threw it at her before hitting and kicking the table she sat at. Unfortunately for Killian, the only thing that broke him out of the tantrum was Granny shouting "Killian; freeze!" After hearing that Killian froze for a minute but then the memory of Liam punishing him aboard the ship came into his mind and he then ran up to his room like he was originally told to.
"You can reflect on what I said about your attitude last night as well!" David yelled up the stairs.
"I'll address this kind of behaviour with him later David," Granny assured as she began to think of a punishment that was deserving enough.
...
When Killian got into his room he slammed the door and went straight over to his bed and lay on it while staring at the ceiling. If he was being honest he felt bad for being angry at Granny because she had been better with him from when she spanked him last night and his punishments throughout today were actually deserving of what he had done. This didn't stop the anger he was feeling from coming out though. Stupid grounding! Why is it I even get in trouble for stuff I just end up sucking myself into? Something else that's annoying me is David is obviously still in charge of me being grounded and he still was happy for me to be blamed for everything that happened instead of thinking of what Emma's part in it was. For the next couple of minutes, Killian began to get even more angry with himself but began blaming it on others and over time this anger began to escalate. "Why the fuck is it always me who gets blamed! I wouldn't even be in trouble now if it wasn't for Emma's influence so Dave and her can just fuck off!" Killian shouted. For a minute after that, he tried to get rid of his anger and was just about to get up and kick the walls when he heard a familiar voice that he hadn't heard since he was five and a half years old.
"Killian." A soft voice which Killian mistook for his long dead mother spoke but Killian rolled his eye at his guess. It can't be her. She's dead! Can it?
For the next minute, Killian started to mumble angrily under his breath about how Granny had no right to punish him and how she had totally overreacted right up until now. I can't believe that bitch was so strict with me! She doesn't fucking have the right to do anything to me, let alone put me on the naughty chair or smack me, and her way of not trusting me until before she sent me up here was just enough to really piss me off! Killian was just about to continue on in his rant when the voice spoke up again.
"Killian Arthur Jones; I expect an answer from you young man!" The voice which had originally startled Killian scolded but in a much more harsher tone.
"Umm, mummy?" Killian asked nervously.
"You know fine right it's me young man!" The ghost of Killian's mum scolded one more time. "What was all that stuff that happened today about?"
"Uh, umm, I, I was t, tired."
"That isn't an excuse to be disrespectful young man! You know I would've never had allowed that so I will ask the question again: why did you do what you did today?"
"I, I, I, umm, d, don't know w, why."
"Killian!" Another voice which sounded familiar to someone who Killian knew had abandoned him and his older brother spoke up. "I hoped you would've learned the lesson of listening to what you were told after you killed me out of pressure."
"I_."
"Killian Arthur Jones!" The voice of Killian's mum scolded again but this time with a disappointed tone.
"Umm, d, Dad's lying," Killian said quickly and with the hint of lying being visible in the way he spoke.
"Killian; stop lying!" Liam's ghost said sternly
Killian froze a minute when he heard that. Wait! Liam's here too?
"Liam?" Killian asked through an unsure tone.
"You know it's me, Killian. I, as well, am disappointed in how you've behaved over the last few days! I thought I raised you better than this?"
"First of all none of you did!" Killian said with hatred but didn't know what hurt it would've caused any of them especially his mother who up to when she died had always been very protective and close with him.
"Killian!"
"I, I'm sorry mummy," Killian said in slight tears and quickly but then rolled his eyes when he swore he heard a sigh. Why is it I feel like a lecture's coming on?
"First of all, you know that taking anything from anyone is wrong, including kidnapping someone's child and putting him on a boat behind his mother's back! From the small bit of your childhood I got with you I remember this is where I really worked with you on and just before I left you were almost succeeding with the idea! Secondly; you don't lie young man and this is something which appears in need of help if we reflect on what happened over the last few days! This was clear when you were younger as well and I still stand by the same point that if you lie no one will believe you! Thirdly_."
"Whatever. Most of this goes against what my life has been anyway so you can't say a thing! Just fuck_." Killian said with attitude but was then cut off by all the voices he was hearing.
"Killian Arthur!" They all shouted but then only the sound of his mother continued. "You can lose this attitude now and it's the same with the language! From what I can see it is clear to say I am very disappointed! You, young man, are on very thin ice at the minute and_." there was a pause which Killian took as his mum thinking of what would be an appropriate threat since she was dead. "If you don't prove yourself better I will find out a way for the Dark One to bring me back to life so I can try to get the message through to you! Now is there anything you have to say to me?"
"Sorry mummy," Killian said quietly.
"Good. Now since I believe this temper you have today is because of a lack of sleep you can take the rest of your time up here to think of what you've done and rest so I will give you a flashback to that while you're here. Love you baby boy."
"Love you too," Killian said tiredly as he began to close his eyes.
"Please don't try to disappoint me any more little brother," Liam's voice teased
"Don't worry. I won't, and perhaps you mean younger brother." Killian replied before the flashback he'd been promised began to reveal itself.
...
(FLASHBACK TO KILLIAN'S CHILDHOOD DAYS IN THE ENCHANTED FORREST)
Breanna Jones, Liam and Killian's mother, had been cleaning around the house all day. The whole place was a mess and it was clear to say that it would be late by the time she would even get to sit down. And people wonder how hard it is to live in a house with three boys. For most of the morning, Breanna had been cleaning her oldest boy's, Liam's, room and it was so crowded that it took roughly two hours to clean. Now that she'd finished in there and the rest of the house, she had decided to move on to her youngest son's room, Killian. He was four now and was following in nearly everything which Liam had done to him over the years. Liam was eleven now and was seven when his younger brother was born so there was quite a lot of jealousy and this often resulted in her having to shout at him for being violent, breaking things etc. This was still sometimes the case now but she had noticed halfway throughout the last year that Killian had a bit of problems with controlling his temper and this is what she had recently tried to work with him on. Remembering this, it didn't take her by surprise to find Killian's room in a similar style to his older brother's which she guessed was his reaction to when she sent him to bed early for breaking one of her favourite mugs when he didn't get his own way last night. This is going to take a while, Breanna thought to herself as she got down to start clearing everything up. By the time a few minutes had passed and the room was half clean the sound of a crash could be heard from the hallway and Breanna sighed into herself because the last time she heard anything like that it was Liam losing his patience with Killian and wrestling him.
"Liam; don't hurt your little brother!" Breanna shouted without even thinking.
Not hearing anything else Breanna decided to go back to cleaning. Only a second went by though by the time Liam came in along with his evidence of what actually happened.
"Mum," Liam tried once but his mother didn't answer. "Mum," he repeated but still didn't get an answer. "MUM!" he shouted the last time.
"Liam, why did you do that?" Breanna asked firmly while hinting towards what she thought had happened.
"I didn't do anything! Killian broke all my navy stuff!"
Breanna's only reply to that was gasping. I can't believe this! I spent loads of money on what now is apparently broken and I have to deal with this.
"Alright honey, could you get out of here while I deal with your brother?"
"Of course. Angel boy will probably get off with it anyway." Liam tried to joke but the next thing he knew a harsh smack was felt across his bum.
"No calling your brother names!" Breanna scolded and then watched Liam go out of the room before she could think of what she should do with Killian. Young man, you are in so much trouble when I see you. "Killian; come here now!"
By the time another minute passed Killian came into his room. At first, he looked quite happy about how the day was going but as soon as he saw his mother's eye contact and facial expressions his smile changed and the first sign of him being guilty of the crime was when he put his head down.
"Killian; is there anything you want to say?" Breanna asked sternly.
Killian's only answer was keeping his head down, shaking it, and then trying to run out of his room. Breanna, however, caught him before he managed to get out and held him still while she went down to his height.
"Killian Arthur; is there anything you want to say to me?"
"NO," Killian answered stubbornly
"Why did you break your brother's Navy stuff?"
Killian froze knowing he had been caught out.
"I didn't!" he tried again
"Killian; no lying! Either you tell the truth now or I get started in to punishing you now and it WILL be severe!" Breanna warned in an over authoritative voice which Killian decided to take seriously.
"Um, um, it was part of my revenge," Killian said quietly
"What revenge?"
"Liam broke my pirate ship last week!" Killian cried.
"I know that and what happened to him after that?"
"Um, h, he got sent to his room and when Daddy went up later on there was s, some sound and Liam came out later upset."
Breanna sighed into herself at her baby's knowledge of what happened with his brother a week ago. What did happen was that Liam got smacked for doing what he did but I won't tell Killian that.
"Yes. Now I have to ask you something else son: did you break your brother's navy stuff?"
"Yes, mummy," Killian said, his blue eyes getting bigger.
"Right," Breanna said as she got up, grabbed her son's hand and dragged him carefully over to the top left corner. "I spent a lot of money on that young man, the same as I did with you, and you do not break anything!" As soon as they got over to the corner Breanna turned a chair around and made Killian sit on it before she continued talking to him. "You are here because you broke what belongs to your brother and because you tried lying again. That is wrong and you can stay here until I am ready to talk to you." Breanna said firmly before getting up and going over to a chair at the right-hand side of the room.
For the next two minutes, Breanna found it hard to stay so strong. All she could hear was Killian crying, saying sorry over and over again, and the sound of his feet hammering on the ground. After two minutes of the time had passed though Brennan Jones, Killian's father, came in and looked over at his young son before looking over at his wife.
"Your way of dealing with this is to put him in a timeout?" Brennan asked with a judgemental tone.
"We can discuss this outside. Killian; stay right where you are!" Breanna said as she headed out and as soon as the door closed she turned to her husband. "Yes. This is how I'm dealing with him."
"What that boy needs is a good smack the same as his brother got last week!" Brennan said harshly.
"I can't do that to my baby boy!"
"Sorry to tell you this Breanna, but you were the one person who applauded my idea of smacking Liam last week! Killian is the one who despite now causing trouble is still to know what that feels like! Even if it's just small you have to get the message through!"
"Fine," Breanna said as she realised there was just a minute left and went back into Killian's room.
For the next minute, Breanna watched as Killian had sort of made peace with what was happening. Killian, I wish I didn't have to understand your father's point of view but unfortunately, I do but I promise I won't smack you too badly. After she thought that, Breanna looked at the clock one more time and decided that enough time had passed for her to deal with her son and at that, she walked over to him.
"Is there something you have to say to me?"
"Sorry mummy."
"That's ok. You're forgiven. Now, when mummy went outside with Daddy there we were discussing whether or not you needed to get punished in a similar way to Liam. The decision is that yes; you do, and for that reason, I'm going to have to smack you."
"No!" Killian cried and shouted.
"Unfortunately you don't have a choice in the matter. Let's get this over with now." Breanna said and put Killian over her knee while he was kicking and screaming so she could get this over with sooner than later.
Smack smack smack smack, Breanna then tried her best to keep her tears in and decided she'd lay the last bit down before any more time went by. Smack smack smack smack. She then lifted a crying Killian up so he was looking in her eyes. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"I'm _ m, Mummy a, are you crying?" Killian said in slight tears but also while crying.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Breanna said slightly sterner but with tears also in her voice.
"Sorry mummy." Killian slightly cried.
Breanna reacted by hugging Killian and then repositioned him so she was rocking him in her arms. Giving that he was so small it made it easy for her to conclude the message this way and it even allowed her to say that all was forgiven and they could move on. "It's alright Kil." she said before realising her baby was taking a bit of time to calm down. Looks like this boy is in perfect need of a nap.
"Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand, hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here. Don't you cry. For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken I will be here, don't you cry. 'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart from this day on, now and forever more. Why can't they understand the way we feel? They just don't trust what they can't explain. I know we're different but deep inside us we're not that different at all. Don't listen to them 'cause what do they know? We need each other, to have, to hold. They'll see in time. When destiny calls you, you must be strong. I may not be with you but you've got to hold on. 'Cause you'll be in my heart, always.
By the time she finished singing quietly to settle Killian down Breanna noticed that he had managed to cry himself to sleep. Seeing this, she carried him over to his bed, put him in it, ruffled his black slightly-curly hair and then kissed his forehead. "Love you baby boy," she said before going over to a chair which sat near the door and sat on it.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
...
By the time Killian woke up after seeing the flashback which the ghost of his mother had warned him about he realised he had five minutes left to think of all he did today. In all honesty, the flashback did teach him quite a bit about why he shouldn't lie or break the rules and that meant he was ready to apologise. There were two more things he had to think about though: attitude and disrespect. Everything his mother had lectured him about before the flashback was based on disrespect and with the help of the end of the dream which went back in time, he was sorry he'd used it. It may only be me talking about the pain I got from that butt whooping earlier on but I don't want to use attitude if this is where it gets me. While Killian thought of what all happened today during the next few minutes, he could still hear the voice of his mother asking if he had anything he wanted to say and he mumbled a quick Sorry before Granny came in.
"Is there anything you want to say to me, Killian?" Granny asked in a no nonsense voice.
"Sorry."
"What for?"
"For being disrespectful to customers this morning, using attitude, trying to hurt you twice, and running off when I was still getting punished."
"That's fine. You're forgiven." Granny said before sitting on the bed beside Killian before hugging him comfortably and then going back slight. "Now there's just something else I need to ask you about: why were you on the phone last night?"
"Emma phoned me."
"Are you sure this is true Killian?"
"Of course it bloody well is!" Killian shouted but then felt a sharp pain going across his one hand and he rushed to cover it with his hook. "Sorry."
"Good. Now did you phone Emma or did she phone you?"
"She phoned me."
"Thank you for being honest, but your phone's confiscated until you're ungrounded. Am I understood?"
"Yes ma'am," Killian said with his head down.
"Fine. Now you can come downstairs now to finish your chores but you are back up here afterwards! Clear?"
Killian nodded to himself before getting up and following Granny out. Joys of being grounded!
