The man was just sticking to the tried and tested approach of an heir and a spare. Either way the whole he was Erenville's father thing makes no sense for a person like Emet-Selch. He chided a dead Lahabreha for his frequent body hopping. The man would have needed to ditch and secure his solus body before going to Tural, or go to Tural ditch and secure it there before finding a suitable male Viera body. Then hook up with Cahciua and leave everything to chance that she becomes pregnant to what have a kid for no apparent reason? Let's not forget that he probably would have spent time and energy on transforming said Viera's face and vocal cords as the man was extremely sentimental and what changes he did to a body as a reminder of his sense of self. It wouldn't fit him at all considering that he prided himself on doing everything to not waste his energy or power. Not to mention how he was a very busy man in the early days of making the republic into an Empire. Making a lot of public appearances and taking part in some of the earlier battles. I know that Astronema most likely meant it as a joke and that it was probably said as a joke theory to begin with but just the premise of it is just so ludicrous.
