I know this is completely random and unimportant, but I've been
wondering if the book mention what happened to Aaron and Tamora's
baby. Because if it did i completely missed it.

from V.i:

AARON
...therefore thou shalt vow
By that same god, what god soe'er it be,
That thou adorest and hast in reverence,
To save my boy, to nourish and bring him up;
Or else I will discover nought to thee.

LUCIUS
Even by my god I swear to thee I will.

Here is some my findings. Shakespeare placed the responsibility for
resolving the ambiguity about the fate of Aaron's child on the
audience, but the closing Aaron‘s tone is in persistent malice. Pity
seems highly incongruous when spoken alongside buried Aaron. So Lucius
decided …, “save the child, and bear it from me to the Empress (to
Tamora -BKZ) …” (V.I. 55); Tamora was terminated, so child had no any
chance, but follow her.
