Thank you.

[dracolicious]

That's all the thanks I get?

Besides, we don't get to pick whether it's a boy or a girl. It just...happens.

[dracolicious]

We aren't buying one from the orphanage, either, I don't care if that's what Auntie Hermione did.

[boywholives]

Have fun fielding that one, Daddy.

[dracolicious]

Bollocks to that, because this Manly Uterus™ is out of business at the moment.

[boywholives]

How do I know you're not lying and secretly pining for another like you were before Morty came along?

[dracolicious]

You don't. And my pining was hardly secret, Potter.
