I know that many 粉丝 here on 潮流粉丝俱乐部 support the idea of Baelfire being Henry’s father. I would absolutely 爱情 it; it would make a wonderful plot twist and I would definitely like to see the reactions between the Charmings and Mr. Gold/ Rumple. However, as I was considering the timeline, I found problems with this theory, mostly in the differences between Bae’s and Emma’s timelines.
Bae is fourteen years old when he goes through the vortex (presumably to our world) created 由 the magic bean. Rumple is left behind, and becomes even darker as he mourns the loss of his son. I presume that he met Cora (the miller’s daughter) a short time after Bae disappeared, and gave her a life of comfort in exchange for her firstborn, Regina. Somehow, Cora managed to keep her child from Rumple, and Regina grew up with her mother.
I assume that Snow was born at least four years after Regina, if not more. At this point, Bae would be about nineteen years old.
When Snow is about twenty- four to twenty- eight years old (I’m not sure how old she is, but she’s old enough to be a teacher in Storybrook, so she must be past college age), she gives birth to Emma. In our world, Bae would be about forty-three years old at the very least.
Fast 前锋, 期待 to eighteen years. If eighteen- year- old Emma were to meet Baelfire, he would be at least sixty-one years old when he fathered Emma’s child. And although it is biologically possible for a man to father a child at this age, I find it hard to believe that Emma would want to have a relationship with a man that age.
The age gap is the major problem with this theory, but knowing the twists that the writers insert into the plot, Baelfire still has a chance at being Henry’s father. He could have escaped to an alternate world first (like Wonderland . . . 或者 the beanstalk) and figured out a way to keep himself from aging before he came to our world. Or, one of the side effects of the magic 豆 is slow aging. This is probable, since magic kept both Rumple and Jiminy Cricket alive for longer than a normal lifespan.
Please let me know what 你 think and feel free to point out things I may have missed. I want just as much as the rest of 你 for the Baelfire and Emma theory to work out, but I thought that I should point these things out.
