My comment was more about how he didn't find anything else off. The real question would be if Thomas noticed anything but ignored it because he was just happy to have her alive.

Nemesis' comments at the end of BG do suggest that the precautions Justine and Thomas took may have been subverted by Justine.

Oh I think Thomas was blackmailed into it by Nemesis/HWWBs/Justine..  He was fully aware and felt this was the only way to save Justine.  Remember he mumbled to himself on the beach when he was telling him about Justine?

They were subverted, but can you hold Justine responsible? She was no longer Justine at that point.

We do not know at which point she was Justine, She was influenced/infected Justine, She was possessed Justine.

When she got pregnant, she wasn't just Justine, HWWBs gloated about that.  Hey, Thomas may have know she wasn't herself, even possessed, but because he loves her, he couldn't risk her death.  He may have thought if he got by with it, Justine saved, that he could then deal with HWWBs.

Not necessarily. Taking possession increases the chance of discovery and influencing the host is usually enough to get what it wants. It might even be able totale and let go at will.

The obvious danger here is the baby has no identity of its own yet but is under the influence of Nemesis because they are sharing a bio electric field. Kinda like Ivy being born the archive. If that thing latches onto the baby then it will be born knowing nothing besides being constantly talked to and molded by Nemesis..

Yes, but we know uncle Harry will save the day. Perhaps even with the Baron's help. We have been hearing about Marcone's soft spot for kids since forever. So, the baby will be all right.

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

But when did Thomas become aware? Did he ever think something was off before he was blackmailed?

When he discovered she was with child, which scared the hell out of him.  He may have even tried to talk her into aborting the child..  She refuses and tells him there is one way that she and the child could remain safe... Wait for it.... "All you have to do is assassinate the Atari king of the svartalves, and me and the child will be protected.."  That's when he knew she had him by the short hairs. ::)

Sorry about that.... But there is ample evidence that something like that did happen..

He nodded.  "Probably, I have a solution in mind," he said. "I'll work on it.  Good enough?"

So either he was blackmailed by HWWBs or made a deal to save Justine and the kid.

I could buy it if Thomas made deal with Nemesis and infected Justine only afterwards as a way to save them. That would be sort of cool.
