I see what you are saying but to me that would be a waste of screen time. Emma could see through Snow’s eyes and with the baby how desperate Snow wanted a baby and to see Snow’s mother side vs friend side since she stated they have the same experience Emma can finally accept Snow as her mother more. Besides like what could Snow do if she is pregnant or have a baby with her she can’t fight anymore so this might make Emma more aware that she has too move on that bitterness has to stop in my opinion.
@HappyEndings, I like your thoughts. Personally, I never really understood why it was so horrible to/for Emma that Snow wanted a second child. I know, abandonment issues, etc etc, but honestly? Emma’s about 30 years old. She’s found her family, she loves her family, but she does have some serious walls still up. It’s not intentional, but she can make it very difficult for her parents to love her as parents (which, of course, makes sense). Snow, too, is about 30. She didn’t get to raise her first child. It seems natural to me that she would want a second child while she still can.
I also felt that Snow isn’t the type of person to replace someone (this case, Emma) with someone else (new baby). I think Snow, though aware Emma may be uncomfortable with this desire, would feel that a baby could be the one thing that brings them all together. Snow is absolutely the kind of person that would want to share the experience of raising a child with Emma, not exclude Emma from the experience. And it gives Emma the ability to have some small idea of what it might have been like to raise Henry. So I thought the idea of Snowing having a second child presents a lot more positive for everyone than negative.
