I think you're correct about the mother's love overpowering the other thing. I certainly cannot speak for Partagas' aunt, but would imagine that although she may have dreaded the birth of the child...once this innocent baby was born and in her arms all the ugliness of his origins were simply swept away. At least THIS child was not made to suffer for the sins of its father.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
