In 2011, she became the deputy sheriff of storybrooke. However, in his unfortunate death, Emma became the Sheriff of Storybrooke and remained as Sheriff for the remainder of the series. By 2018, both she and Killian were running the Sheriff's station together. She temporarily became a bailsbond agent in 2015.

## Romantic Life

**Neal Cassidy**

Neal was one of Emma's four love interests in the series and one of her ultimate loves. According to Belle, Neal and Emma did share true love. Before the series, Emma revealed she was in a serious relationship with Neal in the episode "Tallahassee" where they stole a yellow bug together. Soon, Neal and Emma were officially dating but also pulled schemes, such as shoplifting from other places. However, their relationship ended in early 2000 when Neal let her take the fall for stolen watches because August W. Booth (Pinocchio) had approached Neal and convinced him to abandon Emma so she could fulfill her destiny as the Savior and break the curse. This made Emma feel shocked and betrayed.

When she reunited with him in 2012, Emma was outraged to learn that Neal was the son of Rumplestiltskin and learned why he abandoned her (and unknowingly Henry). Despite a small squabble, Emma was clearly jealous of Neal and Tamara's engagement (no matter how many times she tried hiding it.) However, after Tamara shot him and before he was sent him through a portal, Emma confessed she still loved Neal and he loved her back. The two former lovers were reunited in Neverland when rescuing Henry. Emma confessed her greatest fear: that she was hoping Neal was dead because she did not want to feel hurt again but Neal understood, as he fought hard to get to Neverland, believing this to be his second chance. The two were forced to say their goodbyes when Regina had to undo the Dark Curse and send everyone back to the Enchanted Forest. Neal did everything he could to reunite with her and Henry in the second half of Season Three. However, he wanted his father's help to return to the Land Without Magic to find Emma and Henry.

Neal soon died in Emma's arms, returning the swan keychain she had kept. Afterwards, Emma's brother was named in honor of Neal's sacrifice. When Emma journeyed to the Underworld in 2014, she was visited by Neal's spirit, who warned Emma that everything was not as it seems in the Underworld and that things are not going to go the way she thinks. Neal was also aware of Emma's romantic feelings for Hook and told her that he loved her and he always would. Before he left, Neal kissed Emma's forehead and returned to Olympus as Emma travelled to rescue Hook.

**Killian Jones**

Killian Jones is Emma's third serious relationship (after Neal and Walsh). They first met in 2012, when Hook was posing as a survivor of Cora's attack; however, Emma was quick to expose him for who he was, Captain Hook. She becomes aware of Killian's identity as "Captain Hook" from the Peter Pan movies she grew up with. Hook appeared to develop a soft spot for Emma. However, she later abandoned him to the giant, but promised to let him go after two hours. The two remained enemies until they banded together to save Storybrooke and Henry from Neverland. At first Hook began to fall in love with Emma, but she refuses his advances. During their descent into Neverland's deepest and darkest parts of the jungle, Emma later kisses Hook for saving her father, but felt awkward afterwards. Hook later confessed his feelings for her in the Echoless Caves to free Neal from a prison. Hook and Neal both fought over Emma, but she grew angry with both of them. Through his love for Emma, Hook tried going up against Pan's shaodw, but ended up being thrown against the wall. After the Curse was recast and Hook was sent back to the Enchanted Forest, he went to a life of piracy because Emma was no longer with them. In season four, Emma becomes protective of Hook and orders him to go to the Sheriff's station. Luckly she followed them and saves Hook from being killed as well as her father. She later says she can't lose them like her pastr lovers and Hook is at peace with that. They later go on their first date, and Emma gets pissed at Will Scarlett for ruining her date.

In season 5 Killian is desperate to save Emma from the Darkness like Belle and Remplestiltskin were. Emma is in love with Killian, rpoving she is his true love. They also travel to a secluded area filled with flowers. Emma is also desperate to save Killian that she turns him into a dark one but later realizes that the man she loved died in Camelot. Even as two Dark Ones, Hook is determined to enact hsi revenge and make Emma pay for what he did to her. Now Emma must face off her old boyfriend again to save herself and her family.

Hook tricks Emma by pretending to be Henry and steals the dagger from her. He tells her to kill him to destroy the darkness once and for all, which Emma refuses to do but must by his consent. However, Emma refuses to give up and forces Gold to open a portal to the underworld. The woman vows to find Killian using her parents' motto, "I will always find you." She succeeded in rescuing Hook but at the cost of Robin's life. In Season 6, Hook proposedto Emma and she accepted; however, when Emma learned Hook had killed her grandfather (and Charming's father), she gave him his ring back. Despite this, they eventually married in 2015 (when the Dark Curse was cast. Several years after their marriage, Emma becomes pregnant with his and her first child after regretting missing most of her firstborn's childhood.
