Neal’s journey, says MRJ, is about finding his family, and that being a dad gives him a sense of belonging and purpose he’s always been seeking. His feelings of love for Emma also illuminate his thoughts, as Rumple would say, and bring him clarity about getting back Henry and Emma. Neal said he *needed* his boy and Emma. If Neal doesn’t get his second chance at a family because of a one-handed pirate with a drinking problem who took his mother …it would be the most unhappiest of endings ever in the history of fairytales. I refuse to believe Adam and Eddy would take Neal on such a heartbreakingly long journey only to leave him out in the cold or give him an an-hock alternative ending. Neal and Emma were destined for one another. Their love is true love, because it shows people can overcome anything, be it supernatural curses or realistic pain, to find one another agin in an otherwise cruel world.

In a lot of ways ONCE is the story of Emma and Neal, individually I mean. She’s the savior who would break the Curse. He’s the reason for the Curse. The whole show was built on the idea of the Curse and bringing back the happy endings. I don’t think Emma’s happy ending is with Hook because they don’t want the same things. Even before he was a pirate, he was a naval officer who loved sailing the high seas. I cant see him giving that up to play house. And Emma’s not about to leave her family. As she said in the sneak peek for 308 family means being together. She wants family not just romance. Family defines Emma Swan. And it defines Nealfire too.

I have to agree with both Slurpeez & RG I think we can pretty much guarantee that SwanFire is Endgame. If you really think about it Once Upon A Time is definitely the love story of Emma & Neal(BaelFire) and their son.
