Emma has to be everything to everyone.
She's Henry's Mom full time now, no matter what, even when he's with Regina she has to be ready for a phone call, for anything he may need.
She's the Sheriff, she has to deal with every criminal act around town, no matter how petty and is always on call for any emergencies.
She's the Saviour. She has to help everyone. She's responsible for all the happy endings, for keeping everyone magically safe.
She has to be everything, has to bear the weight of all her responsibilities and never let anyone down.
But Snow takes that weight away.
Takes away everything that tears at her and all her titles.
When she's with Snow she's not 'The Saviour' she's not 'the Sheriff' and she's certainly not 'Henry's Mom'.
When she's with Snow all she is is 'Snow's baby'.
Someone to be loved and cherished, to be protected and made safe.
Snow holds her down, holds her tight and takes away all choice.
What Mommy says goes, no questions.
No decisions of her own; no responsibility.
Even bound, so long as she's with Snow, she feels free.
