I get the whole Belle thing, I'm not sure why others don't. Even if she made it back to Storybrooke, Hades can travel through realms to collect the baby. The only thing that she could do was put herself under a sleeping curse, which would guarantee that Hades couldnt get the baby. She doesn't want to use darkness because she knows that if you use it once, there's no going back. It's kind of like what Snow and Charming did with Emma and Lily. You have to try and keep as much darkness out of your child and you can.

I wonder what would happen if her father couldn't break the sleeping curse. Maybe it would mean digging into Belle's past and trying to find someone who could break the curse?
