Even after seeing the kiss in the ep, I still can’t really see the baby daddy theory panning out. I know it was implied, and obviously they want us to question it, but I’ll still be surprised if Rumple ends up being her father. If he was, he’d know, and after all he went through with Bae, why would he intentionally set out to corrupt his own child the way he did Regina? Does not compute.
I agree 100% that if Rumple knew Regina were his daughter, there’s no way that he’d have mistreated her like he did, considering his love for his son Bae. However, I find myself wondering that maybe he doesn’t know. It’s entirely conceivable that Cora and Rumpel carried on an extra-marrital affair, but Cora claimed the child was Henry Sr.’s. As the dark one, you’d think Rumpel would be able to tell when Cora was lying to him, but maybe his emotions clouded his judgement.
