So I was just thinking over one of the original versions of Snow White and remembered that the Queen wished for her daughter after seeing her blood against the snow and ebony window frame and later her wish was granted, either by chance or behind-the-scenes intervention.

I then got to further thinking and remembered Johanna said that the Blue Fairy was an old advisor/friend of Queen Eva. My theory, even though it might not be explored on the show, is that a similar scenario happens with Queen Eva finding out she is barren and during the night, when she can't sleep, she went out to her balcony at her summer palace and wished for a daughter whilst inadverdantly looking at the Blue Star. Because of the requirements for the Blue Fairy hearing a person's wish (stating the wish while looking at the Star) the Blue Fairy heard her wish and appeared before her and granted her wish, saying she would bear a child and spend ten years with her in happiness but like the candle that Cora attempted to give Snow White the price of creating a life would be a life in return: Eva's.

So Eva agrees to the terms of her wish being granted and the Blue Fairy works her magic and Eva later falls pregnant and as the Blue Fairy says she spends ten years in happiness, raising her daughter until the day shown in 'The Queen Is Dead' where her health starts to visibly begin to fail.

I'm not really trying to make something of this, despite how it sounds but it was just a little idea I got from thinking too much.
