^ it's moot, but I think it wouldn't have been necessary to have Malia at all except that they wanted a Peter/child story line, which would imply it was an idea already. And even if Malia was planned already, then she still wouldn't have needed to be Peter's child, in fact her being Peter's child makes things make less sense. Because if she were just an adopted kid that the Hales didn't know about, it almost makes sense that a werecoyote was running around for a few years unknown by the Hales, but seeing as Talia apparently knew about her, and removed the memory of her from Peter, she likely knew where Malia ended up, and should've seen the reports of the missing kid and known she could potentially be shifted and hiding somewhere.
