Emma is not returning this season. We knew this months ago and frankly, it does not seem to be changing. If she isn't in the season end, then clearly you won't see her child. (Plus, I think the gang are in some weird time distortion anyway.)

I think Colin still being on the show was the main reason why people had thought it was still a possibility. You don't need to show a child with both of its parents. But I doubt we'll see the real Hook again either - they want the focus to be on Wish Hook's story. And Snow and Charming are looking less and less likely even though the actors would most likely still be on board.
