If Emma was 18 when she was with Neal, then Henry would have to be 8 or 9 in the pilot. And we know that is nto the case.

Unless you want to argue that Neal is in fact, not Henry's father, but that opens up so many other discussions. Thinking about it now I see your logic. If Henry's birthday is before Emma's then yes, Emma was 17 when she gave birth. However here is one other possibility:

- Henry's birthday is actually later in the year than Emma's birthday. Henry was 10 when Emma was 28 yes. but this could be because Henry's birthday is later in the year than Emma's.

This would mean Emma has to have been 18 when she gave birth to Henry.

​​​​​​ No. No that is not possible.

We see in the pilot Henry is 10 on Emma's 28th birthday. Meaning he turned 10 when she was still 27. 27-10=17.

For the sake of avoiding argument I'll go with Henry's birthday being in August. August comes before October.

If Henry's birthday was later in the year than Emma's, he'd have been 9 in the pilot. Which he is not because it's stated 3 times in the pilot he is 10 No I meant, what if Henry's birthday hadn't been yet that year, so later in the year his birthday would come and he would be 11? oh wait no i see how the logic fails in that lol. my apologies.

So Emma was 17 when she gave birth to Henry - fact. Doesn't prove Nealfire is a paedophile though as we still dont know his age when he dated and had sex with Emma.

The argument is not that he is a pedophile but if their relationship was non-consensual as she was not legally allowed to consent at the age of 17 to someone who is much older than her.
