My personal pet theory is that 'Morpheus' was just a manifestation of Belle's mistrust and dislike of Rumple - it WAS her dream-world after all - and that her baby will in fact be a girl, leaving Belle looking rather foolish for having convinced herself otherwise and listened to her in-built prejudices.

Belle is completely OOC at the moment. She has turned into a miserable, shrewish harpy, and to be honest I think Rumple would be better off without her. Whatever he tries to do just isn't good enough in her opinion. What happened to Belle's 'I knew what I was getting into?'

Poor Rumple - first Milah treated him like something she scraped off her shoe for years, and now Belle behaves exactly the same. In a way I hope that someone from the LOUS turns out to be a better match for him and he finds happiness elsewhere.

I also get a horrible feeling that the answer to the dilemma of killing the SEQ without killing Regina might lie in Rumple wielding the Dark One dagger for good use instead of evil - Merlin said that eventually one would come who is able to do this - and it might lead to Rumple sacrificing himself (again) for the sake of ungrateful 'heroes' who can't even be bothered to utter one word of thanks.
