was looking for mpreg fics where its the other way around for a long time. XD and yey here it is.

This needs a sequel, i love it. <333

Thanks!!! It's funny how in mpreg--which is total crack!fic where supposedly anything can happen--there end up being conventions about which one of the couple should be the one to get pregnant. It was fun to think about the ways that a pregnant Cook would change the relationship dynamics.

I've read this before and didn't realise I hadn't commented. I'm not really into M preg but and it's a big but - you have made this adorable. The care and comfort shown by Arch was sweet. And there is something kind of true about vulnerable Cook. We know he has a rock star veneer but he is really a softy, a hot softy. Loved this.

Thanks so much! I can totally see Archie as a caregiver and a calming influence in a relationship, especially if we're imagining it's a few years in the future. Thanks for commenting!

Oh, hai, it's me again. I still REALLY FUCKING LOVE THIS. ♥____♥

SSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEQQQQQQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Please?

LOL, I'm glad to hear it stands up to repeated readings. And I'll think about writing some more... ♥

Oh gracious, you got me to read mpreg - which is usually just a bridge too far for me. But I like how you grounded it in a plausible reality with medical ramifications.

I especially liked that you showed their relationship changing with impending fatherhood for both and having Cook being the vulnerable one with their daughter growing inside him.

I'm especially amazed this is your first Cookleta and your first mpeg. Great job all the way around!

Glad you liked it! It's fun to take a completely implausible premise, and try to make it believable. (Which could probably apply to slash in general, but I don't think any of us want to go there...) :)

Man, you've received a boatload of comments sayin' "I don't usually do mpreg, but I loved this!". Well, add this one to that list! It was awesome, and well-written, and totally believeable. I really enjoyed how you wrote the technical fertility-clinic stuff, the efficient calm you give to Daddy Arch, when it's time - basically the whole thing. Really well done ;)

Thank you! It was fun to write, and I'm glad you liked it!
