It’s absolutely Emma’s choice. I would hate for the “triangle” to be resolved with a death of one of the members. That would be a total cop out. But I believe in the writers and in E&A and believe that they will have Emma choose who she wants to be with. I am a bit mystified by why CS shippers believe that their theme is choice. Apparently Hook is the only one that gives Emma choices rather than making it all about himself. I never thought that Neal was all about himself. In fact, he comes off to me as someone who puts other people before himself. The only time you could really say that Neal put himself first was when he didn’t go after Emma when the curse broke. And that has been one of his biggest regrets. He is human tho and I can forgive that he didn’t go after Emma. He really truly felt that Emma couldn’t forgive him and therefore didn’t go after her. And I’m sure he was also afraid of having to face his father. But again, he regrets it. Probably one of the biggest regrets of his life. I know we have all done things we regret. Maybe not to the scope of what Neal did but we all know what regret is and can identify with him. He is just an ordinary person and maybe that’s why some don’t like him. He isn’t larger than life. He isn’t over the top. He’s just appears as a normal, average guy. But Neal is all about choices too. He hasn’t always made the right one but also doesn’t make choices for other people. I don’t think he takes away Emma’s choices at all. He never says that she has to be with him and he never says that he won’t give her space if she wants it. But just simply that he will be there for her and fight for her. I guess it’s all up to interpretation but I didn’t take it as creepy or as he is taking her choice away. He loves her and now he will simply show her how much.

"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."I guess I do prefer the scruffy, ruggedly handsome guys. I didn’t really think about it before because I think Colin is very attractive, but I was drawn to MRJ more. And I guess it’s because my guy is more like him. 🙂
My husband kinda looks like MRJ? Haha! Well they are both scruffy. 😀

He OWED it to Emma to not be hysterical. Neal owed it to Emma to sit there, look her in the eye and listen to everything she had to say without complaint or rebuttal. Neal knows that he has a lot to make up for. There is a lot of history that needs to be fleshed out and resolved between the two of them and Neal even said that Emma never has to apologize for what she confessed because he recognizes what he put her through. But Emma also recognizes that she didn’t go through it alone. “all the pain WE went through.” But in that moment, Neal knew that the best thing he could do for Emma was to let her unburden herself. And it wasn’t like he wasn’t reacting at all. MJR was using his eyes to convey his own sense of hurt. You can see it if you’re watching. But the best thing he could do at that moment was just let Emma get it out.
I whole-heartedly agree!

"Because... it was born out of true love."Another huge complaint I’ve seen was that Neal supposedly didn’t react to Emma when she was telling him her deepest secret. Um, he doesn’t have to get hysterical and crying and such to have a reaction. I think he’s the kind of guy that’s laid back and really doesn’t get super emotional first of all. There have only been a couple of times when Neal has been on the verge of tears or super emotional. One was when he found out that Henry was his son and the other was when he thought his father was dying. I think he thought he would be taking away from Emma and putting too much pressure on her if he got overemotional or looked too hurt. I think it’s also because I think he has faith that Emma will come back around to reciprocating his feelings for her. I think he’s not getting all teary eyed and gazing longingly and all because he has faith that given time, he and Emma will be together. He knows she is hurt. Deeply hurt. But he knows what that feels like so he understands. He knows that pain all too well. Emma’s not the only one that has been hurt so has he. That’s why he just accepts what she said and just tells her that he will be there for her. He will never stop fighting for her, he’ll be there this time whenever she is ready to either give him another chance or just need him for support. There is no catch, no only ifs. Just that he isn’t going to give up and isn’t going to leave this time.

They were like that even in “Second Star to the Right”, which only adds to my surprise.
Hair can get darker as you age. My husband had very blond hair when he was a kid but it gradually darkened and now he has medium to dark brown hair. Maybe not common but it does happen.

It doesn’t look like the same constellation coconut to me. It looks like a coconut with rope around it. I was thinking it was a weapon or something like that.
Edit: Okay I looked at a closer pic of Neal with the coconut and now I think it is the constellation coconut but with ropes around it strategically placed maybe so it can be read properly?

With everything that’s going on, including having been stuck in the land where you can’t really gauge the passage of time properly, it’s unlikely that Snow’s gonna stop and think, “Wait up, I’m late, best pop to the shop for a pregnancy test.” Maybe someone magic is able to sense it? Maybe Blue told them when she was pregnant with Emma, and she’ll do the same for baby #2?
If Snow is already pregnant, post taco-ing in “The Cricket Game”, how does NL affect the growth and development of the baby? Even if they are only there for a “week” that means one week where no one is aging and development has stopped. It would be hysterical if Rumple was the one who revealed that Snow was pregnant with Emma. He randomly pops into the castle for some deal and goes, “oh BTW Snow, congrats on the bun”
Hahaha! I almost fell out of my chair from laughing. 🙂
That would be hysterical but completely in character with Rumple. Now I’m hoping that’s what will happen.
There are other signs that can lead to someone believing they are pregnant. She can start having morning sickness, feeling like she has to go potty all the time, but also having the same symptoms as her last pregnancy.

"Because... it was born out of true love."Can I also add, what’s with all this Snow hate and how she doesn’t understand Emma at all? As far as I can see, she still has this special understanding and connection with Emma. And I don’t think Snow was wrong for saying that there should be no secrets. When Ariel decided not to tell Eric that she was a mermaid and instead let him believe that she was just a human, she loses her chance to tell him and ultimately be with him. Had he known she was a mermaid, he would have been looking in the ocean and would have seen her, voice or not. She wouldn’t have to call to him, he would have been looking in the right place for her. So to me, this reinforced that secrets just get in the way and in the end do more harm than good. It was also better for Snow to tell Emma that Neal was alive. If they would have just went to find Neal by themselves, then they would have taken her choice away (see I can play that game too) from her and not given her the opportunity to decide to look for Neal and be honest with him and put that all out in the open.
Just my two cents. 🙂
