Love should never be a motivator for you making dumb decisions that put others you love at risk. Well actually Hook never asked Emma to come to the underworld, let alone bring her 14 year old son (I thought he was actually only 13? I could be wrong and it really makes no difference at all lol but just checking.)

In regards Eskaver's post. Yeah I see where you are coming from. And you make a good point but I always assumed that love is the greatest thing in the Once universe and I think in Emma's case it does prove that love is a strength. Because in her mind she is doing something that she knows is dangerous but is the right thing to do for the person you are to spend the rest of her life with. I mean if Snow was trapped in the underworld Charming would do everything in his power to rescue her including a trip to the Undwerworld and vice versa. I understand that Snow and Charming would not take their 13/14 year old child with them because they are heroes from a young age, we know they still would do the whatever it takes. We see this especially when they are responsible for casting the second curse and sharing a heart, it was unspeakable for them to curse a group of people (again) but they did it for love, for each other and for Emma.

So Emma going to the underworld was only supossed to be for like a afternoon and she did not want everyone to come they came because they wanted to plus yeah as I mentioned she prob did want them to come on a subconsious level because she was scared. She could have left Henry but would he have been safter? Portals flying about anyone could be taken.

I am not Hook's biggest fan, he has had a long and dirty history, he has been known to be manipulative and can come across as very cocky and arrogant. However Emma is not perfect (well no where near as in-perfect as Hook but still) she is very stand offish when it comes to love or at least in the comminication of love, she never wants to say the words I love you because everytime she does it is a disaster, she also can be very cold when new people come into her life and treats them with so much suspision (August, Tamara, and initially even Henry) It is very hard to get close with Emma and thats not hard to understand why. As a result we all know about Emma's walls, and that she is just trying to protect herself but she as come to the point when she actually believes in the concept of love, not just for Henry and Snow and Charming but for Hook. And her doing the unspeakable aka going to the underworld and taking friends and family and Henry to this dangerous place because she loves Hook and the others know this. I always assumed the others accompanied Emma to support her and help her but really they did it because they like Hook. They can actually see that Hook is the best thing for Emma (Except for having Henry). Charmings oppinion of Hook seems to have changed as well, he used to think he was not right for Emma, that his past made him unsuitable but now he is risking his life because he knows how much Hook means to her and to everyone else.
