History Main / KidFromTheFuture

* In ''Lifestyle of a Rose'', Ruby travels back to when her parents are teenagers in Beacon.

* In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaINNOCENT'', Vivio travels from the future (along with Einhart) and meets up with [[HasTwoMommies her mothers]] Nanoha and Fate. And unlike in [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha the main canon]] where she's adopted, it's implied that she's actually [[HomosexualReproduction their biological daughter]] in this continuity.

* In ''Videogame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable: The Gears of Destiny'', [[LesYay Nanoha and Fate]] meet [[HasTwoMommies their (adoptive) daughter]] Vivio from the future. The real kicker is that all three of them are ''about the same age'' (that is, ten years old). Oh, and to make the matters worse, Vivio brings her own girlfriend Einhard along for the ride. Also, Vivio and Einhard are able to transform into [[OlderAlterEgo adults/teenagers]].

%%* In ''Webcomic/QIce'' (readable [[http://www.q-ice.com/ here]]), Vivio went back in time to [[http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/4199/nano104trwg1.jpg screw]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130730152224/http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9425/nano105tryy0.jpg around]] with [[HasTwoMommies her mothers]].

* TimePolice officer [[spoiler: Philia]] from ''Webcomic/GastroPhobia'' turns out to be this for [[spoiler: Phobia and Klepto]]. When they break up and her father starts getting into a ShipTease with his childhood friend [[spoiler: Mania]], she agonizes over the possible TimeParadox. [[spoiler: Fellow time traveler Lord Nightsorrow decides to take Klepto's sperm cells with Phobia's egg cells, incubate them with magic, and allow the child to be adopted by Mania]], which everyone decides to accept.

** The girls themselves also went back in time at one point and met their mother (who had died when they were young children). They figured out that she'd already be just barely pregnant with Phoebe at this point, and Piper sort of spoils it for her when trying to prove they have a connection (their mother believed she couldn't get pregnant anymore after Piper; [[HilariousInHindsight this was before backstage conflicts made it necessary to reveal that she had a secret ''fourth'' child]]).

* ''Series/TheWinchesters'': [[spoiler:Dean Winchester from the parent show ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has traveled to 1972 and is the one to kick off the events of the series by interacting with his father John Winchester. Although the Season 1 finale reveals that Dean has actually traveled to an AlternateTimeline, which along with Dean's intervention explains why the show unfolds differently from ''Supernatural'''s established backstory. Dean departs in the finale without revealing to John and Mary that he's their future son]].

** A rumor says that Chris was originally supposed to be ''Phoebe and Cole's'' son from the future, meant to give Phoebe a reason to have hope for her bad luck in romance. It makes sense given his original actions earlier in the season--he had strong connections to demons and moved around in the underworld to access magic that would protect his identity from the Charmed Ones. The pressure was really on to identify whose kid he was after Creator/HollyMarieCombs became pregnant, though, and it's incredibly fortunate that the series hadn't revealed Chris's origins beforehand for the writers' sake. (It's also worth noting that the writers ''originally'' intended to use Wyatt, who was already born by that point, but thought it would be too obvious.)

This trope is one possible reason for having a SupernaturallyYoungParent.

->''"If I could time-travel, I'd go back to the night my parents conceived me. I would just run into the room and smack my dad on the ass — Wham! 'I'm your son from the future!!' ''Aahhh-hahahaha!!!"

* Series/{{Arrowverse}}:

** A variation occurred in "Vanishing Act". After getting into a minor car accident on December 31, 1949, Trevor [=McPhee=] returns home the next morning to find that it is January 1, 1960. He and his wife Theresa - who thought that he abandoned her - have sex before he is sent another ten years into the future. In 1970, he finds that he has a nine-year-old son named Mark who was conceived that night. He meets Mark again as a 19-year-old in 1980 and as a 29-year-old in 1990. By the time of this last encounter, Mark is four years older than his father.
** In "Tribunal", Aaron Zgierski travels back in time to 1944 and meets his father Leon, who was then a prisoner in Auschwitz, as a young man. Leon does not realise who Aaron is but, years later, [[StableTimeLoop names his son after him]]. In the same episode, Nicholas Prentice tells Aaron that he is his great-grandson from about 100 years in the future.
** Another variation occurred in "Time to Time" when Tom and Angie Palmer from 1969 met their 25-year-old daughter Lorelle Palmer from 1989 and never realised that she was the adult version of their five-year-old.
** In "Gettysburg", Corporal Beauregard Larouche, a member of the Army of Northern Virginia who is trying to stay alive during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, meets his descendant Andy Larouche from 2000 but does not realize his identity.

* Deconstructed in ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'' where the main characters go back in time to the 1960s. Luther, the sibling most devoted to their father attempts to invoke this... Only to have his own father tell him how much he hates children. Later, the entire family attends a dinner meeting with their father, only for them to find their father's abusive qualities are still very much in place. Finally, at the end of the season they return to their own time to find their life extremely altered, the implication being that meeting their father caused him to actively avoid adopting them.

* ''LightNovel/StrikeTheBlood'':

* In ''Manga/{{Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT}}S'', Vivio travels from the future (along with Einhart) and meets up with [[HasTwoMommies her mothers]] Nanoha and Fate. And unlike in [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha the main canon]] where she's adopted, it's implied that she's actually [[HomosexualReproduction their biological daughter]] in this continuity.

* This is the whole point of the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' fic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6254986/1/The_Anagram_of_Suzumiya_Kurumi The Anagram of Suzumiya Kurumi]]. Notably, it is ''much'' more of a MindScrew than it seems at first, due to ridiculous amounts of time-travel-related AnachronicOrder.

** ''Fanfic/WhatIfBulmaTrainedLikeGoku'': A time-traveler implied to be Bulma's son has a nanomachine armor, an evolved version of Bulma's own PoweredArmor.

* In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4105120/1/This-Time-Around This Time Around]]", Jaina Solo and Kyp Durron are sent back to the events of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and manage to avert Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. As a result, Jaina is pregnant when Padme gives birth to the twins and is able to 'assure' her infant uncle and mother that she'll take care of them, which Leia in particular seems to understand to the extent that she shows a particular reaction when Jaina is in danger. Padme is the first to deduce Jaina's identity as her granddaughter, although she is briefly mistaken and assumes Jaina is Luke's child as all she knew was that Jaina's mother was from Alderaan.

* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' uses a variation of this in chapter 11. Ataru tries to avoid arriving late to school by using time travel, but he ends up 12 years in the future and meets up with his [[spoiler:and Shinobu's]] son.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20651030 days in the sun]]'' has a variant of this trope where Erina Pendleton meets her stepson from the future, Giorno Giovanni.

** ComicBook/{{Cable}} is a variation on this. He's the son of Scott Summers and Madeline Pryor (a clone of Jean Grey). He was actually born in the present (now past), but was taken to the future by the Mother Askani (actually future-future Rachel, his half-sister/genetic full sister). No, not the future she came from, another further distant future. There he gets cloned and grows up, later coming back as Cable to a period not long after he was born (but before he was taken to the future), and winds up biologically ''older'' than both of his parents. His clone Stryfe follows him back. Note that, briefly, Cable and baby Nathan existed concurrently but never interacted.

** If you've followed all of this, you may have noticed that Scott Summers and Jean Grey effectively have had four children running around even though Jean was never pregnant. Three of those children are genetically identical, despite it being ludicrously implausible that the genetically engineered Nate Grey would end up with ''exactly'' the same DNA as Cable, who was conceived naturally in a different universe.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'': Jörmungandr the World Serpent fought Thor at Ragnarok, but their battle ended up catapulting him into the past, before he was even born. He meets and helps his father, [[spoiler:Atreus aka Loki, who is only a child.]] VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'' reveals that [[spoiler:Atreus is not Jörmungandr's biological father, but he did create him with magic, so he still counts.]]
