Anyway Rumple/Gold is technically in a coma, so he can't very well be the father, so maybe Belle had a brief moment with Will that got her pregnant, and she would not know about it until much later in the season. It would probably be an excuse to bring Will back. A character getting pregnant doesn't automatically make them a more important character. If anything, the opposite tends to be the case. If Belle is pregnant, she'll most likely end up on the outside of the action even more than usual. Same goes for once they have the child; someone needs to look after it and that usually happens off screen for the most part. Just think of how much we see baby Neal. When he's invisible most of the time despite being the child of two of most central characters... how much time do you really think Belle's kid would realistically get?
