* The ending of ''TheLionKing'', with Simba and Nala's cute little cub, who becomes the main character in the sequel. That cub [[RetCon becomes]] [[BrattyHalfPint a lot]] of [[GenderBender things]].

* The ending of ''TheLionKing'', with Simba and Nala's cute little cub, who becomes the main character in the sequel.

* The ''RurouniKenshin'' manga ends with Kenshin and Kaouru happily married with a kid. His name is Kenji.

* Very common theme in [[EndersGame The Ender Wiggin Saga]], with the author [[AuthorFilibuster explicitly and shamelessly inserting long speeches about how saving humanity is nothing compared to extending your line]]. Even people completely uninterested in sex (ie a man with no interest whatsoever) will settle down and get married, satisfied with adopted children but still hoping for a turkey baster miracle.

** In the Shadow series, Anton the geneticist settles down, marries, and has a child in addition to his new step-children. He's also [[WallBanger unashamedly gay]], but can overcome his sexual urges in order to fulfil his social need for progeny. So, he's fine with being gay, and all, but...

* Ending Tu fui ego eris in {{Haunting Ground}}... Zig zaged in a [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel terrible and creepy way.]] Followed by {{LaughingMad}}

* Just about every traditional folk and fairytale ends this way. That's because 'child free' is a very recent concept.

* One of the final scenes of [[TheLegendofZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]] shows this happening to Rusl and Uli. Granted they were married with a child for the course of the game and Uli's pregnacy is both visually noticable and plot-related, the fact that they show the baby at the end makes it count.

-->''We're supposed to forget the struggles we've just witnessed and join in the euphoria. After all, a birth represents a joyful new beginning and, conveniently, a happy ending.''

* In ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'', a manga adaption of [[{{Pokemon}} Ash's]] Kanto journey, [[spoiler: it shows James and Jessie engaged and Jessie ''pregnant'' at the end.]]

* A rather dark, twisted version occurs in WoodyAllen's 2005 film ''MatchPoint'', when married couple Chloe and Chris, who had spent most of the movie trying unsuccessfully for a baby, are finally shown bringing their new-born son home. Only Chloe is unaware that [[spoiler: her husband had an affair with another woman, got her pregnant, and then murdered her in cold blood to avoid the potential rammifications.]]

* Several mini-games in ''RhythmHeaven'' involve romance, so the ending screens for getting "Perfects" on them show baby versions of the "characters" from the original game. Up to and including baby [[EenieMeenieMinieMoai Moai.]]

* CodexAlera ends with [[spoiler: Bernard and Amara expecting a child in addition to the several they've already adopted (Including Rook's daughter Masha), not to mention Tavi and Kitai's newborn son Desiderus.]]
** Both sets of children are unexpected. In Amara's case, she was infertile [[spoiler: until the magic mushroom with healing properties cleared that up]]. And Tavi and [[spoiler: Kitai are an interspecies couple, and as far as we know are the first of their two species to get together]].

* This trope is completely subverted into its opposite in ''[[FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]] 2''.

* This trope is played with in BusterKeaton's ''SherlockJr.'' The movie depicts a film projectionist who falls asleep on the job, and dreams of being in the movie he's watching. When he wakes up, his love interest appears, and he takes the movie within a movie's lead on how to act with her. When the movie within a movie's lead kisses his love interest, Keaton's character kisses his. But then Keaton looks at the movie to see "several years later..."

* Practically every ''ElfQuest'' story arc ends with one elf pregnant: Rainsong starts out pregnant in the very first issue, Leetah is pregnant at the end of the first arc, Dewshine ''and'' Kahvi at the end of the first Palace war, Nightfall after the elves move to the new continent, Tyleet (Nightfall's daughter) at the end of the arc before the second Palace war, Krim at the end of the second Palace war, Bethia after the ''little'' Palace war, Dodia after the Forevergreen quest, Moonshade after The Searcher And The Sword, and Brill after Discovery. SoYeah.
