From what I know of genetics:

-2 humans can have a small chance of having a faunus kid, if both are half-faunus half-human. If faunus traits are recesive that is. If they are, the traits wouldn't appear, yet the genes would still be in there in the parents, so there's a small chance of a faunus kid appearing at some point. However, if both are pure humans, or 1 is pure and the other is half, then I don't think so.

-2 Faunus, I don't think they could have a human kid. Because regarding genetical heritage, one gets 1 trait from the mother and the father's equivalent of that trait, but if a trait is recesive and the other one isn't, then it won't appear. The only way for a recesive trait to appear, is if both versions of the same trait (Say, eye color) are recesive and the same. And if Faunus traits are recesive, then there would have to be no Human traits to prevent them from appearing, which means there would be no Human trait for the child to get.

And if Faunus traits are recesive and Human traits are dominant, then there would be no way for a Half-Faunus Half-Human to look like a Faunus. Which means, if Monty has any knowledge of genetics, that if there's an Hybrid in the show, it looks human.
