Rumple said that in the new land he would want comfort, to which Regina immediately responded "fine", claiming that he would be rich and have properties. In no moment during that conversation Regina established a condition for making Rumple rich. She never said something like "you will only be rich if you find me a child". Actually, episodes like "The Thing You Love Most" and "Welcome to Storybrooke" suggest that Regina wasn't even thinking of having a child until after some time they were already in Storybrooke and she felt "bored". She went to Gold's shop to tell him she wasn't happy and we could see him exactly as he was when we first met him in the Pilot (already the owner of a shop, wearing nice suits...).

"He knew about Henry even before Emma's birth..."

Did he? Or did he simply know that a random boy who would bring his son back to him would also be his undoing?
