I don't think Snow was supposted to be 28 when Emma was born. As others have pointed out, 28 is an old maid in the time period the EF is set in. I think she is younger, like 22. Also, just because Mal asked "isn't that the same age as when you were to wed Daniel" doesn't mean it was. Mal could have been taunting Regina, which explains why Regina replied "yes, about the same age as you were when that Sleeping Beauty got the best of you". Point is, whatever age Snow is, Regina is about 8 years older, and Zelena is about 2 years older than Regina, as Esk said.
