Christiannemarie wrote: It cannot be becaouse of abandonment because Wendy heard them cry as well. I have a theory that the reason Wendy and Emma is that they are defined as being "motherly." Wendy wanted to take care of Baelfire and takes care of her brothers; she does so in the book as well. Emma gave birth AND has been able to act as a mother to Henry. Snow can't hear them crying because even though she gave birth, she hasn't had much of a chance to be a mother because of so much happening and that Emma being grown up now. Regina got to raise Henry but never gave birth to a child so she can't hear the cries either.
