You'll Always Be My Baby

Mary Margaret had just about had it with Emma's attitude and behaviour! Not only had she repeatedly put her life at risk since the curse had been broken, but she had also shown an attitude which needed to be sorted out. This was the attitude that showed that Emma was trying to act like her newly-discovered son, Henry, and this worried Mary Margaret sick not knowing where her daughter was one minute to the next.

Then there was today. Emma had decided that she was still determined to be in Operation Cobra if it meant that Henry would like to be with her more but was seen continuously being with him even if they weren't supposed to have any contact with each other. Soon enough though, the word got back to Mary Margaret who as soon as she saw Emma made sure she was safely in the car and then told her they were going straight home.

Now that they were home, Mary Margaret dragged Emma in while still keeping a tight grip around her arm.

"I have just about had enough of your behaviour, young lady." Mary Margaret said as she suddenly let go of Emma's arm.

"Mary Margaret I'm_." Emma said but was soon cut off.

"Emma Swan; tonight what your father and I are owed is a sincere apology!"

"Sorry." Emma said but not sincerely.

"Not like that young lady, and so that you can think of what a sincere apology is, you can go and stand in the corner for the next twenty-eight minutes."

As Emma went over to the corner, she had to laugh at that. Not only was her mother treating her like a child but she was also punishing her like one. Looking back over her behaviour today, she couldn't really see anything wrong with it. Yes; she wasn't supposed to see Henry, but if she listened to Regina's orders all the time she would be giving into them. However, as much as these stupid rules were annoying Emma all she wanted at the moment was to get out of this damn corner. All that started to come in to Emma's mind after that was how to get revenge on Regina. Eventually after all the twenty-eight minutes had ran out, Emma knew she had to come up with a good answer as to what she had been thinking about for all that time so here came the moment of truth.

"Do you regret what you did today?" Mary Margaret asked as soon as Emma was in front of her.

What can I say? All I really thought about was how I can get revenge on Regina and that answer is going to get me in to a whole lot more trouble Emma repeatedly thought into herself, not realising that as the time went on Mary Margaret's patience were becoming even thinner.

"Emma; I want an answer from you!" Mary Margaret scolded.

"What was the question again?" Emma asked but only through knowing that she was going to get herself into even bigger trouble.

"Emma! The question I asked was whether or not you had thought about what you did today."

"Of course not!" Emma snapped.

"Go to your room!" Mary Margaret said in her best mom voice.

"But_." Emma started but was soon cut off by her mother.

"No buts, ROOM!"

At that, Emma turn towards the stairs but stopped as soon as she was about to climb them. Is she going to tell Dad again? He'll be so disappointed in me! He'll probably ground me? Give me extra chores? Cut my pay for however long? Whatever. He was so disappointed when he heard about what I did during that beanstalk incident and even added two more weeks on to the two-week grounding I had been given by mom. Not only that but wherever they went, I had to go and that, for one, was completely awkward.

"Uhh, mo_ um, Mary Margaret, are you going to tell Da_ uh, David about what I did today."

Mary Margaret had to smile at that. She loved how Emma was trying to hide from calling her parents mom and dad but kept on going back on it. However, as much as she loved this moment, she had to carry on with what she was thinking.
