WHO impregnated Justine?

By "cheating" on Justine, Thomas breaks the TrueLove(TM) protection. Then Justine shows the young woman the door and Thomas and Justine have sex, with a very, very quick roll away and absolutely no burst-into-flame cuddling at the end. quote]
Just checked and you're correct. I misremembered this exchange. More accurately, I confused it with Thomas gets fed from the third party while Justine gets the sex. I vaguely remember Thomas saying that Justine became his nutritionist and brought home girls with various personalities that affected his mood.

I think Thomas cheating breaks the protection on Justine, because it's no longer requited True Love, in some sense. It doesn't quite fit with the mechanical soul-energy version of things Bob describes, but it seems to work. (Mechanical version: Their souls rub together in an intimate, unselfish expression of TrueLove and the mixture in each soul makes the soul-energy poison to WCVs if they try to consume it -- Nothing in that explains mechanistically how one party cheating could "unpoison" the other's soul energy...)
And Thomas having sex with other women means he can eat less of Justine's soul, which is a win for both of them.

What?
"Whisper whisper"
What do you mean it's the wrong story?
"Whisper whisper"
But it's the all hero mythology dammit!

They both have to cheat. Harry is protected after years via Susan, Lara realizes it's been years for *him* as a result.
It means the child was conceived as an act of true love. What that will mean is unclear. Might be why Thomas used protection.
