Guys! I found more good stuff. It looks like Neal might have been in Storybrooke before
One thing’s for sure: Regina probably won’t be happy when yet another parent appears out of nowhere to vie for Henry’s love. “I think she’s going to be very surprised when she learns who the father is,” Parrilla teased. Interesting! Might Regina have encountered Neal before? “Possibly,” she added, a sly gleam in her eye. – Yahoo News
Or, it could mean that she met him sometime before the curse. If the theory that he's Peter Pan pans out (gosh I like saying that 😆 ) then perhaps she met him in the EF or in Neverland. They've already shown her meeting Hook in the EF so why not Bae/Peter? Maybe Hook told her about Peter and she realm jumped over to Neverland. Only saying this because we do see Hook along with Smee who is holding young Bae's cloak. Now there are pictures of Gold with the same cloak wrapped around his neck. So it certainly seems clear to me that many people had knowledge of Bae/Peter's whereabouts and kept it from Rumple.
That could work and I like it. It could make Regina's and Hook's revenge against Rumple be a process. Regina figures out Peter Pan is Bae–maybe not by name necessarily is Rumple's son. Maybe part of Hook's plan after learning that Peter is Rumple's son is to antagonize Peter to have believe that Rumple has forgotten him and use Rumple's actions to make Bae disappointed.
So now with Regina and Hook in Storybrooke their somewhat partnership is have Hook tell Rumple about Peter either to tell him he fell in love (Wendy), had a family, died and has descendents or that Peter only recently left Neverland some years ago–at more than 10 years for the Bae is Neal theory. The nice part of this is that Hook can then go after Belle–not that it's nice just plan wise and rid of Rumple's loves then go after Rumple and for the kicker if Bae is Neal tell him that Rumple killed Milah
