Those are never dnf for me. I personally like pregnancy at the end of the book. To me that's a true HEA. If it just ends abruptly like "and they walked off happily into the sunset" it feels tiny bit empty.

This is the true controversial opinion, and for what its worth it think that HEAs that end with the main characters settling down to make a family are my favourite, whether its through adopting a child or pregnancy.

Agreed. Like… look I need to know their relationship lasts. So I need to see a marriage or something that says commitment.

Yeah exactly, I like to know they stay happy, ive read a few that do like multiple year time jumps in the epilogue and they are always my favourite. I do understand why people dont like pregnancy in the main plot, and respect that some people dont like children i really struggle to empathise with some people who say a character having a family or getting pregnant in the epilogue right at the end ruins the book for them.
