If you can recall back to when Rumple was a soldier in the Ogre Wars, it is not specifically stated how long he was away from home for, meaning that Milah could have been having an affair with Hook during Rumple's time away. Only when Rumple returned injured and disgraced did Milah give birth to Bae, which means that he was still away during her time of pregnancy. In this gap of time, a lot could have occured between Milah and Hook. In addition, when Bae was grown into a younger boy, Milah was still seeing Hook, to the point where she actually fled with him, leaving Bae and Rumple behind before his time as the new Dark One. Many years later, when Bae first arrived in Neverland after a time staying with the Darling family, Hook revealed that he and Milah had plans to take Baelfire and live a life as a family together at sea. Hook was also exceptionally affectionate toward Bae, showing a loving side to his personality when he allowed him to steer the ship and, while Bae was laughing, tug on his shirt with his hook to draw him closer. I never thought of it like that before! That's a really well developed theory! It might just be possible for Bae to be Hook's son after all. Watching the finale again, Hook was looking upset after he heard what happened to Neal, aka Bae, so your theory fits most of what we know now. There's also Hook's line, "The things we do for our children..." I always thought that this line meant something more to him than just stating what he was observing and found it strange that he could consider Bae as his step-son/son after just the short time he knew him (don't know how long Bae actually was with Hook?) in Neverland. I never thought of Hook being Bae's biological father as a possibility before but know I REALLY want it to be what the writer's go with. But then at the same time, why would he give Bae to the Lost Boys if he was his son? Oh yeah, that's true too /: Maybe he was just too selfish? Sort of like when Rumple chose to let go of Bae instead of going through the portal, in fear of losing his powers?
