I didn't want him to die. I want him to atone for his sins and see him dealing his problems without powers. In my opinion, the perfect ending for Rumple and Belle is them having a boy, and leaving Storybrooke to see the world and live in a land without magic, thus fulfilling his promise for bae for his new son.

I do think that if the show gets renewed for a sixth season, Robert and Emilie won't be a part of it.
