Right, Mary Margaret thought as she rushed round trying to prepare herself. Today she had way too much to do and no-one was free to babysit so she had no choice but to choose Emma _ something that since she discovered her daughter had magic she wasn't too sure about. Nevertheless, this time she had no choice and had decided to just go ahead with her fear. Alright, alright. What could happen? It isn't like Emma would just suddenly decide to disobey her mother, Snow thought to herself before remembering that one time Emma had put her life in danger when she ordered for the beanstalk to be cut down, or when she didn't listen to orders in Neverland. It took a while longer for Snow to get all those thoughts out of her head but as soon as she did, she found it best for her to get on with what she knew would be her best option. Without further ado, Snow carefully took Neal's small hand and slowly walked him over to Emma.

"Right Em. I have a lot of errands to run today so I need you to watch your brother for a while."

"You're kidding me right? So you're using me as a babysitter again?" Emma said with annoyance and quite a lot of attitude.

"Emma!" Snow scolded.

"What is it? Want to shout at me again? Go ahead!"

"Emma Ruth Swan; don't you dare use that attitude with me!" Snow yelled, now sounding furious.

"Why not?"

"That's it!" Snow yelled before going down to Neal's level. "I want you to stay here and be very good wee man. Love you." before kissing his head and then she stood up and turned her attention back to Emma. "And as for you young lady, I expect the best of behaviour while I'm out! Do you understand?" Snow asked sternly.

"Yes mom." Emma replied silently.

At that, Snow walked up to embrace her daughter and kissed her head in the process.

"I love you Emma." Snow said soothingly after she kissed her daughter's forehead.

"I love you too." Emma mumbled.

At that, Snow went out and although she was still hurt at what was said, she chose not to rise to it.

Two hours later

Snow had been out for two hours and still couldn't get the same thoughts as earlier out of her mind. What is that girl going to do with my baby boy? It isn't that I don't trust her, but I don't trust her behaviour at the minute, especially when it comes to this jealousy. However, while Mary Margaret was still angry at Emma's behaviour from earlier on, she was in quite the forgiving mood and therefore bought a grilled cheese and hot chocolate and cinnamon so she could give her daughter a reward.

As Mary Margaret got out of the car her nerves crept into her mind again. What if Emma has hurt Neal? I knew I shouldn't have trusted her! Come on, aren't you being a little too hard on her? No! She's 29 years old and she should know better! Mary Margaret thought to herself. Although Mary wanted to make herself believe that her daughter wouldn't do anything wrong, she couldn't make herself forget about it, but instead decided to go upstairs.

When she was just outside the door to her loft, the same things came in to Snow's head. Why couldn't she trust Emma anymore? She used to be fine with trusting her daughter but ever since she Neal came along she just couldn't bring herself to have that same level of trust. She had tried thinking everything through to see if her own experience was similar to Emma's, but instead always came to the same conclusion:
