If Rose McIver is correct, and it is not someone the audience would expect. I would say, the most shocking would be Snow White. She could die during childbirth, and the baby would symbolize hope blooming from tragedy.

Then again, like you said, Prince Charming was originally going to die. There is not much more of his backstory, that can be explored.... pre-Regina's curse, that is. I could see OUaT parallelling the scene, from the Pilot, when he sent Emma through the wardrobe. If the baby is a boy, Snow White can name him, David.
