Now, however, he's someone very different than he was. Well, I dunno. Knowing Hook, there'd be plenty of time for kids with Milah. I agree with @Utter solitude, on this one.

Hook was not interested in settling down, or having children, when he was with Milah. He was a partyboy pirate, and that is what caused Milah to fall for him. They just wanted to get rich, and have swashbuckling adventures.

Hook said it himself.... everything changed, when he met Emma. He was disgusted by his past-self, in 3.21, and that is why he knocked him out. The whole Oz arc kept foreshadowing, very unsubtly, that Hook wants to marry Emma and start a family with her. He loves Henry, but would never try to replace Neal.
