I guess Emma is indeed pregnant. Good enough reason to stay home. Not enough to not attempt contact.

Flashbacks before Lucy's birth, Emma, Regina, and Hook come to visit and save and stuff. Emma leaves because she's conceived through the power of plot (lol, don't know why she had to be told as she'd figure it out).

Flashbacks of Lucy and her first 9ish years, then the curse.

All of that in NEF can be like a few days or so. So, Emma wouldn't be worried.

Now we can take it easy and see if HH timeline is somehow several months and no contact was attempted. However, I don't think we'll find out in this episode.
