The thing is, we know little of Bayek and Aya and their personalities prior to having Khemu, Aya in particular.
What we did know was that Bayek joined the Medjay voluntarily. We could sorta imagine the kind of person who was willing to join such an order was likely ready to take up great responsibilities and cared for the people of Egypt, at least would be trained to do so. However a high order of patriotism probably also meant that he cared considerably less about those outside the Egyptian borders and would always give priority to his countrymen.
On the other hand, Aya grew up in Siwa away from her real parents' care who lived on in Alexandria. Due to such circumstance I assume it would be quite natural for her to become the adventurous and perhaps rebellious kind, the care-free archetype and was always searching for the beyond and a greater sense of purpose. Downside might be she wasn't taught in the inconveniences resulted from recklessness and callousness.
People from millennia ago tended to procreate at a rather early age becuz of the considerably shorter average life span, and the practice of safe sex was definitely not a widespread idea till the later 20th Century. Khemu could be what we call 'a child by accident' and she became a parenting figure before she was ready. There is no doubt the death of the child had dealt her a heavy blow as he's outta her own flesh and blood after all. Yet during her own quest for revenge we could basically see that she slowly began to realize Khemu's death might not be the worst outcome for herself and instead gave back her freedom to continue her own journey. This explained why she seemed to keep latching onto the first opportunity that granted her higher reputation without much consideration of consequences. Aya was only in her early twenties and not ready to settle down again. I guess we can see this as selfishness, but doesn't necessarily the equivalent of badness.
From what we can derive from the companion novel, the love Bayek and Aya once shared was real and not just a fling.
