I know we’ve speculated before why Regina didnt just put Graham to work being baby daddy and what we decided it was a side effect of the curse.
Perhaps that is the story line as it is NOT that someone gets pregant–but WANTS to get pregnant. I think it would fit for Regina or Snow. So Regina in the past wanted to get pregnant in SB after Owen left but could not due to the curse time warp. Then we’d see the rest of the adoption story play out.
Or it would be Snow in present wanting to get pregnant, but I cannot see that happening in the midst of the NL adventure, unless it is a dream.
I wonder if they are going to live dream lives that seem very full and realized while in NL. Something like, if you’ve ever seen Star Trek has happened in a few episodes. It would let the writers do a bunch of “What If” scenarios as the characters imagine all sorts of things.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
