well that’s tragic.
It’s Regina’s life, it’s gotta be tragic.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I actually wouldn’t put it past Cora to have cursed Regina to be barren. Would have screwed up Cora’s plans for her if she got pregnant, so she probably arranged for it as soon as she suspected about Regina and Daniel.
[adrotate group="5"]I think I am going with the theory that when Rumple was training her she confessed to him that she was afraid she was becoming like her mother and thought that having a child of her own might dissipate some of the hate and rage she was constantly feeling. Rumple realizes that if she succeeds in this endeavor his plans for the future and finding Bae would be ruined and therefore tricks her into taking the barren curse. However, to this day Regina is unaware she is cursed because Rumple never told her. The reason he never told her was because at that point it would have been easy for her to restore her fertility with water from Lake Nostos. Its not like she wouldn’t have been able to defeat the siren herself or made a deal with her.

I doubt Cora would ever jeopardize Regina’s chances of marriage like that, and young wives were mainly valued for their ability to bear children. From Cora’s perspective, it was probably much better just to kill Daniel than harm Regina’s reproductive ability. Cora would probably have loved for her daughter to conceive a son with King Leopold, replacing Snow as the heir apparent. That way, Regina’s position would be sealed as the mother of a dynasty of rulers for generations to come. I don’t believe Cora would ever jeopardize Regina’s chances of being not just queen but also the mother of a king. If anyone did curse Regina to be barren, I suspect it would have been either Rumple or Peter Pan and his minions so that way Regina would one day be compelled to enact the dark curse.
So I’ve had a night to think about this and while I do think this is a 309 adoption of Henry hint, there is one other possibility that occurred to me last night: Emma in a flashback. Obviously the first half of this season is all about Henry: his birth, his adoption, his life, saving him. We’ve also seen a Ginny daily tweet of MRJ and Josh in which MRJ is very clearly wearing his Tallahassee outfit from the hotel speech where they decide to move to Tallahassee. What if there is more to that conversation? What if they did talk about having kids some day. In my *puts on shippy goggles* head they’re talking about how nice it would be to have a family someday and Nealfire suggests Henry as a possible name. I’ve always liked the idea that Emma would have picked “Henry” as a name too.
I’m not so sure about this theory. As much as I love Emma and Neal, I doubt she wanted to get pregnant, even when they were together. For starters, Emma was only 17 when she was dating Neal. I’m not sure how many teenagers actually want to get pregnant so young unless they’re the type who get married at 18 and have a baby all in the same year. For Emma, she and Neal were young, crazy in love, and thinking about the future, but I’m pretty sure that any mention of possible children was in an abstract sense only and speaking about the future several years down the road. Also, why would Neal and Emma ever decide on the name Henry? That name is clearly link to Regina’s father. So,of all the boy baby names that exist, plucking the name Henry out of thin air without any family connection to it would seem a bit random in my opinion.
I still think the likeliest cast scenario is that we’ll see Regina in a flashback desiring a baby of her own, either in the Enchanted Forest or even trying to get pregnant in SB but realizing she can’t due to the curse. That will proceed her decision to adopt Henry. The second likeliest cast scenario would be Snow White in the present day wanting to have a second child with Prince Charming as she thinks about all the missed moments with Emma. Perhaps this is precipitated by witnessing the crying from the Lost Boys and the looks of abandonment in their eyes. So, it’s not that Snow is trying to get pregnant now, but it could be she already is pregnant from her and Charming sleeping together in SB or that she and her husband will try for a baby once they leave NL.

Good points. I guess I was thinking that they were talking about someday in the far future, but that’s not what the tweet says.
As for Henry: does it have to have a family connection? What if they just liked it? I just think it would be sweet if Emma and Regina both picked out Henry, one on a lark thinking of the future and one actually deciding on her baby’s name.But yeah, it’s a 309 hint. 🙂
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"who wants 2get pregnant this season
It is saying this Season, not past so I am sticking with Snow besides Emma, David and Henry were in the process of going home to FL to rebuild and restart.
I agree that Cora would’ve loved for Regina to bear more children Leopold since that would cement Regina’s place as Queen.
Of the 4 options given, Snow and Regina are the most likely. Belle can’t even have a date with Rumple without someone interrupting and Emma is still trying to come to terms with being Henry’s mother, no way she would want to bring another child into the mix.
Regina would only be the answer if it is about a flashback this season as someone said, the reason she adopted Henry.
I think it could be Snow. Her and Charming have had the chance ( I think it was 220 when David dropped the dwarves and Tiny off with a wink) so the timeline could work out plus a Snowing baby would provide new drama for the Charmings that doesn’t involve them having to find each other. Snowing would be excited about actually being able to be parents whilst at the same time, worried how Emma would take the news. Emma would feel happy for her parents but at the same time may feel a little upset and jealous that the new baby will get to have the life she should have had.

I think Snow is a close second, and I do think it’s something they want to explore in more depth after the NL arc, but I also think the key to the tease is the “WANTS” to get Pregnant. Snow doesn’t want to be pregnant right now; like everyone else she is focused on finding Henry.

But on this show, we get flashbacks in non-chronological order. For example, we have yet to see Regina adopt Henry (even though Regina had been his mother for 10 years already in S1). Flashbacks can be be past-tense while also being part of THIS season (S3). That means we could see a flashback of Regina trying to get pregnant in S3.

The wants could also be ironic. As in nobody wants to get pregnant. When would be the worst possible time for Snow to find out she pregnant? When she’s in Neverland.
