Lol I know. I love making Draco suffer. Then maybe Harry can come along to do some comforting.:)

Draco and Harry need some child care help. Surely they can afford it? I would also go out of my mind if I was in Draco's place. I'm looking forward to the backstory as to why Draco is stuck at home with the kids while Harry works.
I feel bad for both of them, and am hoping they can work things out.

Lol I think anyone would go out of their minds if they were in Draco's place, the poor thing. But don't worry, I won't make him suffer throughout the entire story. We all just love him too much to do that.:)

Thankfully I don't really know what it'd be like to have three kids under the age of five, but based on the kids I've met in my entire life, I 'll have to assume and agree with you that it'd probably be hell. I'm glad you're enjoying the fic. I'll try and update as soon as possible.:)

I agree. One baby child is hard enough as it is. I can understand Draco completely, even though his irritableness irrates me (he reminds me of my mom...she's always irrirated, and it's not even because she's pregnant. Can you even imagine the hell it is when she is pregnant?) x_x

Anyway, I like how real your story seems. Like, everything isn't a fluffy dream...it shows realistic aspects of a relationship and how people don't always get along. I hope it'll be alright for them in the end though...or at least that they'll be happier with each other.

Yeah he is very irritable, but I figured that having two kids on his hands and with Harry going off and leaving Draco to take care of them all day long would definately give him a justifiable reason to be such a bitch. I'm so happy that you're enjoying this fic. I thought there wouldn't be too many people that interested in reading an angsty-ish mpreg, seeing as most of them are fluffy. I'll try and have the next chapter up soon.:)

Yay, an update! I like how things are progressing. It's very realistic how Draco feels resentful of Harry's "freedom", compared to his struggles with pregnancy and childcare. I like his reaction to discovering that he's pregnant for the 3rd time; the way he's upset rather than thinking, "Yay, a new baby - this will solve all our problems and bring us closer together!". I'm probably in the minority of readers, but I actually hope Draco decides not to keep the baby. I'm very interested to see how you will handle this situation!

Aheheh yeah I noticed in a lot of mpregs that a lot of the time, people are happy to find out that they're pregnant, but I just thought that Draco didn't seem like that type. In my mind, Draco only had the other two kids because Harry wanted a family, so its not really something that he wanted which is why he reacted the way he did when he found out about the third pregnancy. And I must admit, the idea of an abortion never actually crossed my mind, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I'm still not a hundred percent sure what'll happen now.

People talk about the physical discomfort and crazy hormones that come w/pregnancy, but not much is said about more negative thoughts that some women feel towards pregnancy - like feeling forced to have a baby before one is ready, not wanting to get pregnant again, feeling trapped by the lack of freedom - motherhood is supposed to be some kind of "miracle", the happiest and most magical time of a woman's life, etc, which I guess makes it a bit taboo to speak too negatively. So I'm glad to see your unique perspective on mpreg :) I'm curious to see whether Draco's antipathy towards pregnancy has affected his attitude toward the children or if it's just Harry that he resents and gets angry with. Also, when I said that I didn't want Draco to keep the baby, I didn't necessarily mean he should have an abortion, although he could... but he could also give the baby up for adoption, or maybe there would be a way to magically transfer it to Harry (was Harry unable to get pregnant, or unable to carry a baby? If I was Draco I would want to find ( ... )

I noticed the part about how pregnancy is supposed to be a wonderful experience as well in a lot of fics. Even when the characters are upset at first, they always end up being happy that it happened. I personally don't think that's how Draco would be because just going through pregnancy is out of character for him, let alone being thankful for said pregnancy. And I can definately say that Harry won't be pregnant. I can't stand pregnant!Harry. He's just to whiny and annoying for my tastes. I prefer pregnant!Draco.

Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you're enjoying the fic so far.:)
