That pic of them together makes me so happy!! đ And it makes me LOL that Colin of all people is the one who took it. It’s the triangle that just keeps on giving. đ
Speaking of the triangle, I was posting some stuff over in the CSF thread just before which got me thinking some more about the future of SF. This is part of what I said…
As for why it was necessary for her to go to prison, I think that was basically an insurance policy taken out by PP/THO. They needed the breakup to stick, and if Emma was locked up for a while, she couldnât go after Neal, especially when she found out she was pregnant, because you know sheâd have tried to find Neal again if she could when she found out she was pregnant.
Which brings me to yes, I think PP/THO knew she was pregnant before she did herself, because I think that whatever âsightâ PP has access to, it gave him a time when the kid in the picture would be conceived, which is what he used as a guide to judge when to let Bae out of NL, and is what he used as a guide for when to have August sent to break them up. The breakup had to happen after Henry was conceived, but before Emma found out she was pregnant, otherwise PP wouldnât be able to have the kid raised in the confines of SB and brought to him when he was old enough.
It got me thinking about the pawn-ness in PP’s plan and the prophecy. SF were definitely manipulated into producing Henry, and him being in the right place and time for PP to snatch him. I also got to thinking about Adam’s tweet that not all first love = true love. Because I ship it so hardcore, it’s always just been a foregone conclusion for me that SF are true love. But maybe they’re not…yet.
The pawn-ness and prophecy orchestrated how they met. The falling in love bit they did on their own. And it’s not part of the prophecy that SF are endgame. As far as the prophecy is concerned, SF have outlived their usefulness. So when they come back together, and re-discover who they each are now as adults, they won’t just be picking up where they left off with their love, they’ll be creating a whole new relationship. Maybe their first love wasn’t true love, but their future love will be.
