He saw that a child of Cora's would cast his curse, and when he met her and had no child, he assumed she had never given birth.

What I find most disturbing about that was that he was willing to use his own child to cast his curse, knowing what it would cost the caster. Especially considering what Regina gave up for the Curse...

What's most disturbing is that despite having Regina lined up for his Curse, Rumple still wanted baby Alexandra as his own as well. For what reason? To have a back-up in like 30 more years?
