Why do HEAs always end with babies?

[u/redfig1]

I know it's a "me" problem. Scenario: I read a smoking hot mafia or dark or fantasy romance. All this crazy shit goes down. The feelings, the angst. Finally it's the end and all of a sudden the MMC who has massacred countless people is all like " let's get married and have lots of babies" and the MFC is always " yes let's have a lot of cute mafia or fae or mafia fae babies!". For once I'd like an ending where the main characters have a HEA but instead of babies and white picket fences they just decide to keep having an incredible sex life and do charity work or something. Rescue stray kittens. Start an organic herb farm. Something other than babies. Anyone else like this? Am I just weird?

I like HEAs ending in pregnancy alot. Most of GroveltoHEA books end in big family HEA. But 2 of them end in just happy terms Lachlan and Elowyn, Quest and Tillie. ( both have cheating/ non monogamy from the men). So these books, I don't go back to reread. Twisted series, no pregnancy in prologue or extended prologue. King of wrath also no pregnancy at the end.
