Also, Regina and Maleficent were having Tea. Regina probably did NOT arrive unannounced, and seeing as they have a friendship relationship, Mal was not at all alarmed by her presence. Regina, as I recall, seemed to be more relaxed in that scene as well.

Also, the comments regarding finding out about the Dark Curse. Let's look at the timeline here. Snow is probably at most 1 month along in her pregnancy, and the Dark Curse occurred on the day of Emma's Birth. So we have at most 9 Months of time. the QOD did not (at least on screen) relate WHAT the Dark Curse was, only that it was the Dark Curse. So what we may have is they have the first hint, but it wasn't until they went to Rumple that they got the full picture of where Regina was heading with the Curse, and what the full ramifications of this Curse would be. To me, that makes perfect sense, particularly since I think that Snow and David both knew that Regina was up to something, just not what.
