I know that many fans here on Fanpop support the idea of Baelfire being Henry’s father. I would absolutely love it; it would make a wonderful plot twist and I would definitely like to see the reactions between the Charmings and Mr. Gold/ Rumple. However, as I was considering the timeline, I found problems with this theory, mostly in the differences between Bae’s and Emma’s timelines.
Bae is fourteen years old when he goes through the vortex (presumably to our world) created by the magic bean. Rumple is left behind, and becomes even darker as he mourns the loss of his son. I presume that...
