You have just hit upon both my initial resistance to mpreg (the "biology doesn't work like that, that's just silly" issue) and how I overcame it (a certain Victorian steampunk Martian colony mpreg story where the biology was totally normal and you could concentrate on the emotional consequences of the pregnancy.) Which is awesome, because I hadn't been quite able to articulate why the trope was suddenly working for me now.

Seeeee, the thing is *geeky moment* mpreg is sort of vaguely possible ish. I mean, not actually gonna happen in our world unassisted, but it's not totally bonkers to me (yes, I have spent hours with a textbook thinking about it). Yes, some AU where anatomy and physiology is altered a little is simplest, but it's never struck me as so very cracky which I think gave me a good head start *g*

My inner research geek totally loves that you've thought through how to make mpreg biologically possible. And now I know who to come to if I'm ever struck by an mpreg idea and I need to make it plausible, for myself if no one else. *g* (Actually, my brain has started mulling over which other of the boys, besides Jay, it might be okay with making pregnant. Mark is, not at all surprisingly, leading the pack. Though Howard also has a certain attraction.)
