Gross.... that would make the baby, Zelena biological father. But think what a great predestination paradox that would make. Like how John Connor sent Kyle Reese back in time so that he could become his father. Besides, how would that set the stage for Season 4? Well, Snow and Charming prevent their baby from going back to the past so Cora never meets Johnathan; so she never gets the chance to "worm her way into the dregs of loyalty" with either Leopold or Henry. Regina is never born as a result so no curse is cast.

Leopold still marries Eva and Eva still gives birth to Snow. Rumple arranges for Snow and David to meet and fall in love so Emma is born and grows up in the Enchanted Forest. Hook makes his way back to EF from Neverland somehow like he did originally. Because of the change to the timeline, somehow as a result, Marian does not die.
