Lesgle was born to be a Cool Fun Uncle. Sadly, it is not to be, and he doesn't enjoy kids' company enough to go out of his way to spend time with them in Milliways just for the sake of it, but in the happy dreamland where Joly and Musichetta get married and there are kids that are officially Joly's, Lesgle is the best Cool Fun Uncle.
Feuilly has always been pretty apprehensive about the whole thing. How do families function? What do fathers do? Do you struggle to keep your children out of the workforce until they're at least ten or eleven, maybe even twelve, keep them in some kind of school? (Yes, you do, if you're Feuilly, but then you're worrying about whether they're really learning the skills they need to feed themselves...)
Henry V dies when little Henry VI is just a baby. Who the hell knows what kind of relationship they would have had, historically--historically, he and his father clashed a lot on political issues, though the Misspent Youth stuff is all fiction. But considering Shakespeare's version of things in Henry IV, or Much Ado About Daddy Issues, I think it's safe to say everything would have been very fraught. But of course he wants children. You have to have children. That's how you make more kings. And cement political alliances. (...I feel like I've run into something about historical Harry Monmouth at some point feeling obliged to write his dad a letter along the lines of "jeez dad of course i would never rebel against you, who is saying this stuff, i would never assassinate you" but I can't track it down right now and I might be misremembering.)
Gredya has done and will do anything at all to take care of her children. Seriously, she has worked so hard. In canon they all die, but by the end she's about to have another litter, so there's hope. Single Werewolf Mom of the Year Award goes to Gredya.
The Chief works with children on a daily basis. She thinks kids are great. She's going to give you so much crap if you say otherwise. (Fun Fact: my husband's friend was on that show when he was a kid, and the general consensus was that Greg Lee was kind of a jerk but Lynne Thigpen was 1000% awesome.)
