Re: Couples That Have True Love

That might be me. *raises hand* I had to go searching for it, but I remembered writing a big long thing about it and posting here and at Fanforum. They weren’t too enthralled by the idea over there. Here is the original post from May:

I’ve been thinking about Emma, Henry, true love, the Charmings, and Henry’s father and it kept circling in my head. The theme of the show is that true love is the most powerful magic in the world. It got me thinking in OUaT that true love begets true love. I’ll explain…

Snow’s father loved her mother deeply. We’ve even seen him talk about it in front of Regina. So Snow is a product of true love. Then there is Charming. His mother tells of how she dearly loved his father and that true love will follow the ring she gave him, just like it did for her. Next in line is Emma, who we know is the product of Snow’s and Charming’s love for each other, and hence why she’s the savior curtesy of Rumple’s curse.

So that leaves Henry. The last in a long line of true love. We know that Emma truly loves Henry, but unlike the others, he’s not the product of true love. He’s the result of some messed up, accidental, dysfunctional relationship. She was a teenager, he wasn’t told she was pregnant, then she got arrested. Not the outcome of true love. So what’s different with Henry? Why did the cycle stop with his conception?

Or will his parents ultimately be each other’s romantic true loves. The show preaches it and shoves it down our throats, so why for the main character does she not have what everyone around her, even Rumple in his wacked out way, has or had? Do you think they’ll eventually bring back Henry’s father, whoever he is, and redeem him in her eyes?

I do think Henry’s dad will ultimately be Emma’s true love. I also think, even though a lot of others think it’s cliched and predictable that it’s going to be Bae. Henry is connected with all the main players in Storybrooke directly, but Mr. Gold. He’s Regina’s adopted son, Snow’s and Charming’s grandson, Emma’s biological son, but nothing to Gold. I think we’ll be finding out that Gold is Henry’s grandfather.

My biggest theory, which is probably never going to happen, right now is something will happen to Gold, nothing major, just a slight accident and it’s discovered that he has an unusual blood type and someone notices that Henry, when he was dying in the hospital also has that blood type. Putting two and two together, Gold deduces that Bae is Henry’s father and so he goes to Emma to redeem his favor for her to find Henry’s father and his son. (On a side note, my grandfather had an extremely rare blood type and was on an emergency donor list because of the rarity and my parents were glad that nobody in the family inherited it. That’s what made me think up this convoluted theory.)
