Lara Raith marriage consummation
Conspiracy Theorist:
I suspect Lara has invested in numerous IVF clinics, and has been having her eggs and her sisters harvested on a regular basis and checked for viability. She asked both Marcone and Harry to father a child for her suggesting a degree of certainty beyond normal conception She presumably has viable eggs on ice. House Raith is led by female Whamps putting it at a disadvantage against the other houses, and leaving is vulnerable to take over by secondary lines like the cousins.

I suspect Lara wouldn't want to get pregnant. It wouldn't simply be a distraction to her day job of running the White Court, it could seriously weaken her and perhaps even kill her, if she didn't feed enough to maintain her own life force. Though this is just a guess, perhaps any excess feeding might empower the growing White Court fetus and make it even more dangerous to Lara.
So, the next link in this chain of thinking is if Lara wanted an heir, or needed one to fulfil her deal with Mab, she would want to use a surrogate to give birth and take all the risk. Harry would not be happy about a mortal being put in danger, but if Lara chose the invitro method, then; in theory at least, Harry wouldn't have to be informed about what was going on. Lara would only need to get a sperm sample from Harry without him realizing it. Lara might not even have to be the person to collect it.
Actually, I think all this speculation will become moot. Either Lara will knocked off by Harry's bad luck with lovers life expectancy or the marriage will not happen or be annulled.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Lara could have a whole generation of Raiths gestating in willing surrogates paid well, she could double the size of house Raith in a generation, even if the kids are raised in full knowledge of what they are and given the chance to kill their demon before a first fatal feeding with a willing victim.
Lara is if anything, a modern girl. However she wants a powerful magic user in the family, so Harry’s wedding night may involve

I'm pretty sure WOJ says that Whamps cannot be powerful magic users. That may not be something Lara knows; or any Whamp knows; or anyone in the Dresdenverse knows (I suspect Mother Summer -- the Intellectus of Fertility -- must know!)

Couldn't agree more with this!
And I honestly hope that if we're going to be concern about another child, the focus is on Justine's child. Harry claims to be all about family, so I hope we get to see that.
