Wait a second…Zelena is still a little dead set on destroying Regina, and may have been planning to raise her child so that it could destroy Regina’s family….finish mommy’s dirty work. Zelena is still a little mentally unstable to raise a child on her own, so Regina as the aunt does have a right to be concern for her niece/step-daughter…not to mention Regina wasn’t mentally unstable plus slightly psychotic when she raised Henry, which she did a splendid job with….she had a sound mind and body.

I think Zelena would’ve been satisfied with her baby because she would’ve had something that Regina didn’t.

I guess my main issue with Regina wanting to take Zelena’s baby is that Regina has no claim to the baby, it’s not her child therefore she should not just be able to walk in and take it. However, if ROBIN on the other hand wanted HIS child to live with him then that is a completely different story.

We’ve not seen Robin really speak about the baby, there was that quick scene about the baby scan but that was it whereas we’ve seen Regina gunning to have this baby for her own.

Robin wanting to protect his child makes sense. Regina wanting to help Robin protect his child makes sense. However, IMO, that is not the story we’re seeing playing out on screen. Robin just seems to be bobbing along with the situation as he’s done since season 3 not really making his own decisions whilst Regina is all “I’m going to take your baby!” The balance is all off and it is actually making Regina look unsympathetic and almost like the “villain” of the situation.

I believe bringing Cora back would in some ways help….that’s the closure Zelena really needs from her mother and answers to a lot of questions. This whole Wicked vs Evil war started because Cora abandoned Zelena, if only for one episode of Cora being back, it’s enough for the mother/daughters to sit down and actually discuss all of this. Cora is the key to starting Zelena’s redemption. I’m still hoping for WickedSisters Sisterhood.

Whilst WickedSisters would be nice, I think Zelena and Regina’s relationship is beyond that point, especially if Regina takes the baby from Zelena by force. At best, Zelena and Robin will share care of the baby which means that Regina will still get to spend some time with it without taking the baby by force.
