Again, you're assuming that Casca will revert to her old self and have all of her memories intact. We don't know that yet. Personally, I think we'll see a new, sadder and wiser Casca.
The scene with Judeau happened before she was broken, so yeah, she was angry at Griffith then. But that doesn't mean she is full of anger and hatred towards him now. If she were, even with her foggy memories, don't you think some of that feeling would come through, like when Griffith enveloped her in his cloak and held her close? Don't you think she would be scared or repelled by him, even if she didn't know why? She isn't exactly holding back what little emotion she has right now.
To the extent that the fetus merged with what became re-born as Griffith, he is her child. And yes, Guts is Griffith's "dad," to that same extent. But Guts has the advantage that he remembers the Eclipse and Skull Knight was there to explain things to him, so he knows that his child might as well be dead and has no feelings of paternity. Add to that, he never had a chance to form an emotional attachment to it. He didn't even know she was pregnant until she gave birth. Heck, he didn't even know it was his until it went away! Casca, on the other hand, demonstrated affection for it as soon as it was born. Plus, in almost every culture and society, mothers are considered to have a stronger bond with their children than fathers, so it wouldn't be surprising if she feels a connection to him and Guts does not.
Granted this is all speculation, and I could be (and probably am) completely wrong. But it's fun to speculate until we finally get the next chapter. Come on, end of June! :D

I am assuming that she eventually* will have her memories intact, anything else would be massively disappointing and lackluster. Gathering her memories in an effort to make them intact is exactly what's going on right now, and in case she misses some details - Guts is sure to help her fill memory gaps.
If she was angry before the rape and all of that, she should be extremely angry afterwards...
She was obviously curious about Griffith but would probably have been a lot less curious if he had his demonic Femto-appearance at that time. The broken-minded Casca remembers Femto raping her, not Griffith necessarily. The sane Casca however would know and remember that Griffith raped her and that curiosity would turn into something completely different.
That Griffith became her child just sounds incredibly retarded. He merged with her child, but that does not exactly the same thing as becoming her child...
It's not like Casca is going to walk up to Griffith and begin breast-feeding him and reading him bedtime-stories...
