Um, Rumplestiltskin was the one to suggest to alter their first deal to him fathering her first born child.

By the time of their deal in "In the Name of the Brother" it is very clear from there that they dont have any romantic feelings for each other.

However, what I don't get is your logic. How does their recent deal in 2x12 effect his previous feelings for Cora in "The Miller's Daughter?" It doesn't. Rumple did want to be with Cora, and was even willing to have a child with her. However, it was Cora who decided to end their relationship.

P.S. No, she didn't help Rumple. She manipulated him by using his love for Bae to get out of Storybrooke so she could find the dagger. Only in an ironic way she helped him find Bae. HOW IN THE WORLD COULD RUMPLE WANT A CHILD WITH A WOMAN LIKE CORA!?

If it in no way she had helped him find Bae, and then killed Rumple........Wow interesting episode. You esteem Rumplestiltskin too much. He is manipulative and sometimes down right evil. He and Cora were each other's equal, and in some ways better suited for one another. And no, I didn't make that up, that is what the writers said. The fact is that Cora and Rumple deeply loved each other at one point. True Love's Kiss hasn't been totally explain and when it can or cannot perform, but they were in love.
