Which is about as far as I've taken it.
Oh, *please* take it farther! I was just really starting to get hooked into it!
That's just me. Since I haven't been able to work this into a story (as I said, the whole problem is a conversation or two that are rather fun to write followed by Avon doing his best to derail any further complications or dangers resulting from this situation
Oh, but since when has the universe *ever* let Avon manage to do anything he's planned to do? I'm sure you can find something to throw at him to keep things interesting (even if you don't think Avon dealing with a pregnant Cally/a baby isn't interesting enough by itself).
To throw my own two cents into the discussion about what kind of father Avon would make... I suspect it would likely be an all-or-nothing commitment for him. Either he would be completely indifferent to his child, denying utterly that it was any of his responsibility, or he would be fiercely, obsessively protective... at least as far as physical danger is concerned, anyway. I do have trouble seeing him as an emotionally nurturing parent, no matter how much he loves the child.
