It's usually in their scripts in stuff because fun, I guess. It's not like they planned to actually do it on screen. We've only had the occasion "D, H" stuff with Regina delivering the only "B" once. So, on their scripts, I don't mind as we don't get to see them in totality. Now, if they did so on the show, it would be cringe-worthy as it will definitely not mesh well. To make a slight correction, the conversation between Lily and Mal revolved around the phrase 'Scary Dragon B****', so Regina does not have the only 'B' drop. (Good thing we don't have a Sawyer type character, or we'd be getting Son of a B dropped all over the place).

Second, my apologies for derailing the thread. I know I can be somewhat opinionated, and old-school, at times, particularly on sensitive subjects like the use of profanity. One final comment from my point of view. The writers may feel like they are treating the actors as adults, but the unnecessary use of the language actually strikes me as childish. That's just my opinion, and probably not shared by many here, which is fine.

Ok, let's let that whole conversation drop and get back to the topic. As I said in my post, the fact that they mention that the Rumpbelle baby is still unborn is, in my opinion, a good sign that there is not any superspeeding of pregnancy or extreme time jumps. Maybe we'll get to see that story played out slowly, and possibly as part of a storyline that deals with Rumple and his issues as well as the status of Rumple and Belle's marriage.

And I do like that we get an early reveal on the Gender. Again, it's not like finding out the gender of a baby prior to birth is that big of a deal, but it's still nice.
