While Cal can indeed father her child, you can prevent them from getting together; if that happens Tammy will conceive through artificial means.


** Tammy loves babysitting the kids in the creche, and they love playing with her. In fact, she wants to have a baby of her own when she grows up, [[spoiler:and her dream comes true when she gets pregnant with Cal's child.]]

* This is a trait of a few characters in ''VideoGame/TatteredWorld'', but it's most notably shown by the Snow Globe's Hearthsworn, a father of six and grandfather of countless who openly adores each of his offspring. It's also implied to be the case of the otherwise-ominous Gloryglint from the same remnant, given that she's implied to have authored a children's book series and stated to have [[spoiler:broken the rules- a ''deeply'' dangerous thing to do where she lives- so a then-child could properly grieve his late brother.]]

** Ichiban Kasuga is this in substories involving children. Spending time with a lone kid at a fast-food joint because his mother had to work, giving a million yen for the surgery of a girl's brother, protecting a fruit so a wheelchair-bound girl doesn't lose the will to live, helping a kid make money off of his lemonade stand so he can buy a gift for his teacher... Of course, he himself didn't have the best of upbringings.

* ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' introduced Mister Torgue, career CloudCuckoolander and explosion-happy LargeHam who nonetheless instantly bonds with resident violent bombmaking halfpint Tiny Tina, possibly due to Torgue's own PsychopathicManchild tendencies. This results in the two of them sharing a weird but enthusiastic wavelength, and Torgue himself is nothing short of polite and supportive of her even when she stages a humorous HostileShowTakeover of his ECHO-Cast for one episode. He otherwise seems to be generally supportive of kids, though given his comically unsafe products it's probably for the best he wasn't allowed to be the Santa analogue for [[YouMeanXmas Mercenary Day]].

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'': Raiden is shown as one in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''; when he discovers a plot to turn kids into {{cyborg}} {{Child Soldier}}s like him, he is absolutely ''pissed'' and goes on the warpath to ensure that no child goes through anything like he did.
* Big Boss in ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' takes in war orphans and raises them as his own, although it's twisted at the end when he reveals he's training them into soldiers to perpetuate war in the future. [[RetCon At least that was the excuse he gave at the time]].

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' has a downplayed example in Miller, who admits himself that he doesn't like kids (owing to trauma under AbusiveParents) and acts like a hardass around them, but champions saving child soldiers from lives of strife and potential death by rescuing them from combat zones, bringing them back to Mother Base, and teaching them life skills. He also [[{{Enforced}} enforces]] this when child soldiers are present on a mission: you may subdue them using CQC and non-lethal weapons, but if a single child dies by your hand, [[NonstandardGameOver he will declare the mission an immediate failure.]]

** Lucius opens up an orphanage at the end of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', which is implied to be where the twins Raigh and Lugh and their friend Chad are from in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade''. In the same game, Canas offers Nino books to read when she says she likes stories, and after Nino refuses on grounds of her illiteracy offers to teach her letters. When she asks if it would interrupt his current quest for knowledge, he dismisses the idea by saying that "teaching illuminates the minds of both master and student", much to her joy.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'' itself, Hugh is this despite his insistence to the contrary. He apologizes for making fun of Chad for borrowing money from him after he finds out that Chad wants to protect the orphans he grew up, and later in the support chain laments that so many children have lost the ability to smile in the war. In his supports with Lugh, he apologizes for [[IdenticalTwinMistake grabbing him by the collar after mistaking him with Raigh, who stole from him previously,]] and later in the chain agrees to be [=BFFs=] with the kid.

* In ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' Litchi Faye-Ling is very good when it comes to dealing with children, she usually comes around to the Kaka clan to kindheartedly teach and play with the Kaka kittens and her child-assistant Linhua looked up to her greatly and she returned the favor. She's also quick to befriend and hug Ronin-Gai children despite that their boss just harassed her. She's also incredibly fond of Carl Clover, who was virtually unknown to her and would even give her life to help him. She doesn't even hold a grudge when a bratty little girl like Platinum went bonkers on her [[ACupAngst just due to breast size difference]] and still finds herself comforting her. In the CT Arcade Mode, she mistook Rachel Alucard as a lost child and sweetly asked to escort her to her mother... [[spoiler:This gets slightly subverted in ''Continuum Shift'' after her FaceHeelTurn. Once she learned [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld what kind of creature]] Rachel is and that she's an enemy, she drops her kindness and opts for a more antagonistic manner (though not as over the top). However, she went back into Friend To All Children mode when she met a distraught Carl (still post-FaceHeelTurn) and offered him a CooldownHug in her MarshmallowHell.]]

* In the ''Videogame/LikeADragon'' series, nothing brings out Kazuma Kiryu's good side like kids, especially his kids from the orphanage and his adopted niece Haruka. Subsequently, nothing brings out Kiryu's [[UnstoppableRage BAD side]] [[PapaWolf like someone hurting a kid]]. [[CurbStompBattle The most savage and satisfying beatings Kiryu's rained on someone]] are those in retaliation for abusing a kid.
** Similarly, about the only thing that will unfailingly bring out Goro Majima's better nature is a child in trouble.
** Taiga Saejima also has a soft spot for kids and will go out of his way to make a little tyke smile even when the police are actively hunting him. His backstory mentions that before he was forced into crime to take care of his sister, he was planning on becoming a teacher.

** This seems to be a confirmation of elements from the time ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' was released, where Samus was typically portrayed as being quite passionate about the infant Metroid, treating it like her own offspring, unleashing the bowels of MamaBear after it was destroyed, and entering a state of deep sorrow after she'd cooled down. This hovered around various fiction, including ''Magazine/NintendoPower'' comics and Manga. In other words, the Manga serves to confirm that when Samus says she kills to protect others, '''she really really means it'''
