Another possibility is that it could be a new character introduced in the fanfiction. A mysterious stranger who comes into Emma's life and has a one - time encounter with her that results in the pregnancy.
It could be Hook. Given their relationship in the show, it's quite possible that he is the father. Their chemistry and the storylines they had together make it a likely scenario.
Maybe it's Neal. Even though he had his own story arc, his connection with Emma was strong in the past. There could be a situation where something happened between them that led to her pregnancy.
In the fanfiction, perhaps Emma's pregnancy is a magical one. Maybe it was the result of some long - lost magic that got reawakened. Hook would be both excited and a bit scared. They could go on a journey to find a way to ensure the baby's safety in a world full of magic and curses. And Emma might struggle with her usual role as a savior while being pregnant, but Hook would be there to support her every step of the way.
One character often paired with Emma could be her mother. Their relationship can be a central focus, showing how her mother cares for her as a baby and the bond that develops over time. Another could be Henry. They have a special connection in the 'Once upon a time' universe, and in the fanfiction, he might play an important role in Emma's life from an early age.
Often, there could be themes related to magic and fantasy. Since 'Once upon a time' is often associated with such elements. Emma might be depicted as having some special powers even as a baby, and the fanfiction could explore how she discovers and controls these powers as she grows. It could also involve themes of friendship, as she meets different people who become important to her throughout her life.
A baby fanfiction about Emma and Hook could involve their journey into parenthood. Maybe it would start with the discovery of Emma's pregnancy. They'd have to deal with the joys and fears that come with it. Hook might be overprotective, given his past losses. And they'd face challenges from the magical world they live in, like protecting the baby from dark magic threats.
Some fanfictions might explore the idea of Baby Emma having some latent magical powers that start to show at a very young age. This could lead to all sorts of adventures and challenges for her family as they try to understand and control these powers, all while keeping her safe from those who might want to use her powers for their own evil purposes.
Maybe Neal has some doubts about being a father because of his own troubled past. He could be worried that he'll repeat the mistakes of his father. Emma, on the other hand, is determined to have a happy family. This could lead to some emotional turmoil between them as they work through their issues while also preparing for the baby.
Well, another option could be to check out some Once Upon a Time - related forums. There are often fans who share their favorite fanfictions in those forums. Some of them might be about Emma and Neal being pregnant. You could ask in the forum if anyone knows of any good ones. For example, Reddit has some dedicated Once Upon a Time communities where you can start your search.
Well, on Archive of Our Own (AO3), there are some great fanfics on this topic. A popular one was about Emma's pregnancy in relation to the prophecy in the show. It delved into how the prophecy might be affected by the new life she was bringing into the world. It also had some really sweet moments between Emma and her family as they prepared for the new arrival.
Well, she could be pregnant and find out that the father of the baby is a character she least expected. This could lead to a lot of drama and character development. For instance, if it was a villain, she would have to decide whether to trust him or not. Or perhaps, her pregnancy could be a key to unlocking a new magic in the Once Upon a Time universe. It might be that the baby's existence is tied to a long - lost magic that could save the world from an impending doom. Also, Emma could be pregnant and have to go on a journey to find a special place or object that can ensure the safety of her unborn child.
A baby fanfiction would likely strengthen their relationship. Having a child together means they have a new bond. They'd have to rely on each other more, like when taking care of the baby at night or dealing with the baby's first magical outburst. Their love would grow as they see each other in new roles, as parents.
