He may have initiated it, but Snow and Charming were still responsible. As confirmed by Jane Espenson herself. I still find that storyline really distasteful. Had this all been thought out prior to S4, I do think it could've been a lot more awesome. But... it only seemed to add to the dreary arc and really change the way we look at Season One and onwards. I also believe now, Emma being born early was karma for what had happened with Lily. She didn't get to be raised by her mother/parents and neither did Emma.
