"Mom!" She groaned painfully as her mother slapped her shoulder.

"This is too much Emma!, how am I going to face my clients after this?!". Her mother glared at her.

"It was an accident!". She reasoned out while trying to rub out the stinging pain.

"An accident for the third time?!". If her mothers look could kill, she will be a sprawled out mess on the floor.

"Mom, I promise! It just happened! Claire was nice, she was caring, she was there when I had to walk home when you forgot to pick me up." I stated. Her mother's look turned guilty for a moment then in a split second, it was back to rage.

"That does not give you an excuse to sleep with her! That's too much! She is the third Barbara! The other two could be a mistake, we could blame that to your raging hormones! But the third?! You are out of hand! Not to mention different women comes out of our house every morning!". My mother screamed at me.

I would like to cower away in the corner but I can't. I don't feel no remorse. It was fun while it last. I try to be careful but the more I did, the more I get caught.

"Can't help it." I murmured which made my mom snap back at me again.

"What?! You can't help it?! I'm losing my goddam mind right now Emma. I don't know what to say."

I just sat back down to the couch and bit my cheeks.

"I'm gonna send you to Storybrooke." She says and I looked up to her wide eyed.

"Noooo!." I stood up and looked at her, so horrified with the idea.

"Then what? I don't even know what to do with you anymore. I'm doing the best that I can. But I don't know anymore. I will be calling your father." She says to me and my eyes went wide as saucers.

"No mom! I-I promise to be good. I will be-."

"No. You will be staying with your father and Regina." She says while glaring at me.

Wait, what?

"Who is Regina?".

My mom looks me dead in the eyes,

"Your fathers new wife."

"What?!, I didn't know about that!". I said, mostly to myself.

"If you could have just paid attention more to the lives of people around you, not just yourself, you would have attended the wedding." She says to me while rolling her eyes.

"Well, did you?". I asked her.

"Of course, I wouldn't have missed it in the world." Her mother scoffed.

"What? Why? When?". She looked at her own mother like she had grown two heads.

"Yes, your father and I were not meant and him and I deserves better. And that was 2 years ago." She tells me.

I think I'm going to faint.

"What?". I whispered faintly.

"What 'what'?".

"I-uh-how could you?!". I shouted at her, suddenly turned my shock into anger.

"It was bound to happen." She says.

"No!, he told me that he will do his best to work things out with you and we will be family again!." I shouted at her.

"As much as I know that you are upset right now, but that is a little too late sweetheart. You're tantrums is waaaay overdue 2 years now. And you won't get to play that 'angry' card at me. You will be living with you're father as long as you don't learn your lesson." She says with a finality in her tone.
