pcpoet:
has any one thought about what would happen if Thomas dies. we all ready know he has a child and him having a child would hit home the tragedy of his death .

Skeptical he will die (based on Jim's writing style, and past books). If he did die I'd think it would be in the BAT.

I think is also possible and perhaps even probable. I recall that Jim has said that it's known that Lara is running a puppet show, and that she is the de facto ruler of the White Court and House Raith, but everyone is playing along for now. Though I don't think Jim has said why Lara's potential rivals would do this. Maybe it has to do with their hatred of overt confrontation. However, this means that should LR die suddenly, the leadership of the White Court would be up for grabs. If there are other supernatural murder victims piling up, it could be the perfect cover to add one more to the pile.

It was also that, now that the King had already been reduced to a Puppet, they were hoping to be able to appropriate the strings. Lara has apparently been too good at the job to let it happen.

It depends on what Jim thinks will hurt us most. If Thomas were to die, Harry would suffer. If Justine were to die, Thomas would be in utter anguish, and Harry would get contact suffering from losing a friend, and watching his brother go through hell. We don't really have all that close a connection to Justine as a character, so watching her suffer through Thomas's death wouldn't be all that awful for us; we'd mostly suffer from Harry's pain.
And point of order: Justine's pregnant, Thomas isn't a full dad just yet. Personally, I think the most suffering to be had will be watching Thomas and Justine try to hide their baby from the White Court for the rest of the series—maybe even going so far as to send the kid to live with Aunt Inari and Uncle Bobby.
