Bae being Henry’s dad actually kinda works tho- we now know for sure that Regina is the Millers daughter & that Cora somehow kept her, 💡 💡 💡 Ohhhh maybe Cora had twins!!!! 😮 & she gave Rumps the boy & kept her daughter- that way she wasnt crossing Rumple (so wasnt courting death 😉 ).
If Bae & Regina are indeed related, it’d give Regina a stronger role in Henry’s life- in fact a much stronger role as she’d be his own flesh & blood, rather than not 🙂
It would also mean she’d have a truly loving family (which she craves), who once they were able to forgive her for what she’s done to them all (& its not such a strong stretch since Snow already forgave her when she sent the Huntsmen to kill her & Charming will because Snow will & he’s noble – Emma will have a harder time of it & Henry will forgive her as he’s him lol 😉 ) which will give her a chance & a true desire to want to be redeemed & have love, family & her happy ever after 😀
