History Heartwarming / OnceUponATime

* When at the top of the beanstork, Emma notices Hook is about to go near the trip wire. She could have just pulled him away by the arm but instead, grabs him by the waist and tumbles into his arms so that he doesn't fall. Hook takes this as an opportunity to flirt with Emma by saying "It's about bloody time" with a smile. Emma is still holding onto Hook for a few seconds before realizing she can let go.

* Emma runs to Hook's assistance when she notices he has been hit by a car. He still compliments her and calls her beautiful even when his ribs are broken. Emma is furious at Gold for punching Hook as he is already badly wounded. Emma then tells the doctors to get Hook to a safe room as quickly as possible so that Gold can't find him and stays by his side in the hospital room.

* Rumplestilskin cradling his newborn son.

** More importantly, Gold deciding to ''use'' the potion. He could easily remain content with Lacey and return to his old ways, but it's implied that he realised that Lacey would ''never'' love him as much as Belle does. More than that, he genuinely prefers being who he is around Belle, who drives him to stop being a coward and actually try to be a better man.

-->"Everyone looks at me like the Evil Queen, including my son. [[DyingAsYourself Let me die as Regina.]]"

* At the end, when Neal is found in the Enchanted Forest. The fact that he's alive is heartwarming in itself, but just look at who finds him. Mulan, Aurora...and Phillip. They found a way to bring him back.

* Emma helping Hook steering the ship.
* David rescues Emma from drowning when she jumps overboard.
* Snow and David's reacation of relief when Emma wakes up.

* Emma admitting to being the eponymous "lost girl". Because simply saying you're the "savior" when everybody else has been telling you that for more than a year is still a denial of who you really are. It's probably the most introspective moment she's ever had in her life, and having her mother by her side was probably the only thing that gave her the courage to admit to her own deepest pains and fears.
** While Snow is sad about this reveal, she completely understands why Emma feels the way she does.

* Smee finally returning by Hook's side, after being so cruelly turned into a rat by Rumplestiltskin.

* David asking Emma to take Killian with her to defeat Zelena. He recognized their argument was not unlike his and Snow's own argument when he didn't tell her about his secret in ''Ariel'' and didn't want any of that for them. Bare in mind, he wasn't so fond of them together. Granted, [[HonorBeforeReason Hook has cursed lips that could strip Emma of her powers, which Zelena, of course, uses to her advantage]], but still.

** They continue dancing when Charming walks past them and nether Emma or Hook notice him, showing how into dancing they are.
** Hook compliments Emma in her red dress and says she has "quite the figure" in the dress. Emma is seen smiling at the compliment.

—>'''Charming''': She’s beautiful.

* Emma reveals to Henry that she is pregnant with Hook's baby and he is overjoyed for them and says she will do great.

* When Emma and Hook are about to go through the portal back to Storybroke, they both look at Henry in a loving way and Hook is seen holding Emma's pregnant stomach whilst looking at it with a lot of love in his eyes.

* Emma and Hook's kiss. Whilst it's passionate, it is genially very sweet. Hook is holding Emma's head and they smile sweetly at each other when they briefly pull away. Hook's expression is generally very touching since he worked so hard throughout the season to date Emma and that he finally managed to get the girl.

** When Emma is in Hook's arms, he asks if she is ok with such fear in his voice. Emma nods and strokes his hair and they both have their eyes closed.

* Hook apologies to Emma for overreacting with Will at the restaurant. Emma understands and says it is okay.
* Hook is clearly worried about how he acted with Will and Emma tells him it is okay whilst holding his hand.

* Hook is taking Henry sailing. Its nice that the two are bonding and hanging out together alone. It also shows that Hook kept his promise to Henry back in season 3 about taking him out on the Jolly Roger again. Although it is not shown on screen, the fact that Henry wants to go sailing with Hook shows that he is clearly comfortable with him and likes him, as well as clearly accepting that his mom has a new boyfriend.

-->"I owe someone a quarter."

Hook lifts Emma into his arms and they both appear to be smiling through the kiss.

* Following the events of the episode, "An Untold Story", whilst this could also add as a sexy moment between them, Killian and Emma are making out on the couch as they are both so happy to be together after the arc in the underworld and he smiles at her when saying that Henry is with Regina. Emma also giggles when Killian comments about her leather jacket.

* Hook gives Emma a bottle that she can put a message in it and she thanks him with a sweet kiss.

* Rumple chooses to stop Alice from taking the power of the Dark One from him, because he doesn't want to curse her with his immortality. Even Hook is moved by him sacrificing his sanity to give Alice a chance at a normal life.

* All of the post-Curse reunions, especially Henry, Ella, and Lucy, Alice and Hook, and Alice and Robin. They even toss in a hug between Regina and Robin for good measure, and of course one between Regina and Lucy, now that the latter fully knows her as her grandmother.

* Also, when everyone unites together to stand against Gothel after the curse is broken. While seeing Regina and Henry fully together again is wonderful, there's also Hook [[HeroicWillpower managing to hold hands with Alice despite his poisoned heart]], Robin stands on Alice's other side, holding her hand, and even Gold (whom we've known since "Beauty" cares about her very deeply and just two episodes ago showed us how deep that caring runs) is there to stand by her. Family really is everything to them.

* Trapped in the globe, Hook asks why Gold, with all his power, never tried to destroy him. Gold admits that "because you're the closest thing I ever had to a friend."
** Later, when Rumple dies, Hook stands over his body and says "Goodybe, old friend" with tears in his eyes.

* Before they face the black knights, Hook asks Robin to take care of Alice, as his heart has been getting worse. She one-ups him by asking his permission to marry her]]. He lets her sweat for only a moment before breaking into a grin, hugging her, and happily giving it.

* Also a TearJerker and TearsOfJoy, but getting to see everyone together at the end, celebrating and happy, both Hooks with their daughters, Emma there to see Regina get her happy ending, and Regina becoming the Good Queen she was meant to be, and would have been if not for Cora... All the people we've grown to love are finally together, all with a role (albeit offscreen in many cases), all working together for their common good. And it's ''so'' satisfying.

* Hook comforting Alice after she has a nightmare of Gothel coming for her and tossing her father out of the tower. This kickstarts his quest to find Maui's fishhook to save his daughter.

* The cursed Henry and Robin briefly bond over Henry's podcast. We don't get to see them interact much in either world due to their differences in age and experience, but it's nice to see an echo of family even when they can't remember each other.

* Alice giving the white knight back to Ella and Henry to take to Hook, letting him know she doesn't need it to remind her any more, because she knows he'll find a cure so they can be together again.

* Roni, who remembers she's Regina, declares that she and Kelly are going to break the curse and save both Henry ''and'' Lucy. Kelly, who remember's she's Zelena, declares they'll do it as "Evil and Wicked"; Roni claims that, no, they'll do it as ''sisters''. While it's heartwarming to see that their relationship has grown enough for them to be ''true'' sisters, it's also heartwarming to see that Zelena is willing to go down the path of wicked again, that path of being absolutely hated by everyone, if it saves Lucy. It's also incredibly heartwarming to see that, while Regina and Zelena are sisters, they've ''also'' accepted who they were in their less noble days.

* Emma trusts Regina enough now to let her go and protect Henry - and Regina lets Emma go and protect Storybrooke; together, the Moms are in action!

** Rumple ''puts himself between the girls and the curse'' as if trying to save them.
