Um, yes, a woman could "lie" in a dream--ie say things that aren't actually true. Or say things that have metaphoric significance, or various types of significance that aren't entirely obvious.
And also, I think you're jumping to conclusions based on an idea that you have, or a fear that you have, or a feeling of jealousy and desire for closeness (or a father) that you have-- and that there's no reason to believe that your fears and desires, or the "insane" thoughts that spring from them and seem totally conclusive, and unmistakably and horribly true (and which, in fact, are derived from vague and ambiguous statements made by the other person) are indicators, or predictors, or reflections of reality.
I'd check it out. I'd definitely talk about the phantasy and what it means to you-- not allusively in talking about nephews and nieces, while you're panicking about his having a baby. That could reinforce your own terrible fears-- without in any way actually confirming (or disconfirming) them.
