Even if a good reason to justify a character's behaviour was "to create a plot", you're missing my point. I'm fine with what Milah has done from a general perspective, knowing that it makes the show what it is, all I'm trying to say is I don't like the stick Rumple is getting for the decision he made and how everyone feels sorry for Milah because Rumple sold his second child. And even if he hadn't sold it, it would still be Rumple's decision not to have a second child. A couple should only have a child if both of them want it. And after what bad parents they both were to Baelfire, I'm glad they never had another kid. The episode was likely meant to draw sympathy for Milah. I'm sure noone's thinking Milah was a victim of Rumple's who was the goodiest do-gooder. The problem with Rumple's deal is that having a second child is Rumple's AND Milah's decision. Rumple was wrong in not including her say in the matter. That's the problem with what Rumple did. We don't know what Milah wanted but if she wanted a second child, Rumple just took that away from her without discussing it with her.
