I thought Rumple was in search of him/her, Alice is already (supposedly) Hook's daughter, making her the guardian too would be a bit too much IMO. Rumple said he was going to the moment that he would meet the Guardian, whether or not he/she knew it. He jumped through the portal and ran headlong into Alice. I'm doubting it somewhat now because Adam and Eddy are treating it like a big mystery. But it seems pretty obvious to me. I think it being Alice is too obvious, maybe the Guardian is her love interest though?

It could have been Henry considering he was there around the same time too.
