That still doesn't make sense. Why would Rumplestiltskin pretend, if he was disguised as Jonathan, that he didn't know that she was once pregnant and gave birth? Even in "It's Not Easy Being Green" he reacted in surprise when Zelena claimed to be Cora's first-born. Also, I don't see the OUAT writers bringing the theory of "Rumple is Zelena's father" to life for the simple reason Zelena has demostrated romantic/sexual attraction to him, so I doubt the writers were determined to imply an incestuous one-sided love.
