Prince of Rascia wrote: I would hate if WWoW was Rumple and Cora's daughter. Rumple is so fond of Baelfire, he spent centuries trying to find him and ruined numerous lives in order to get him back so that's why I think he is his only child. Why would he ever let his other child go if he had more children? Well, he was planning on doing just that. He knew he need Cora's daughter to enact his Curse; and knew what it would cost her. Even when he believed that child would be his, he was still willing to sacrifice his own daughter to recover his son.

Sure, if he and Cora had indeed had a child together, no doubt she would have been raised with love. But she still would have been used for the Dark Curse, left with a gaping void in her heart, and he was prepared to use his own child for that.
