* Demons in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' have sex, and they reproduce. But in the normal order of things, those two things aren't connected. Most aren't even aware that having sex with a human can result in a half-demon. Male demons who make this discovery often don't care very much, but imagine the shock of a female demon who discovers what pregnancy is, and that her amusing romp with that human has caused her to have one!

She understood the hesitancy: a father who wasn't comfortable with discussing birth, because it might lead into his child considering [[PrimalScene the activities between her parents which led to pregnancy. Rarity had an excellent imagination, and thus when matters of self-preservation arose, knew just when she had to shut it down]].

An unexpected pregnancy is one of the biggest ways to throw both the narrative and a (usually female, but [[MisterSeahorse sometimes not]] - which makes things even ''more'' shocking) character's life for a loop. It can occur under many different circumstances, be it the result of a fling, an affair, a long-term relationship, or even supernatural influence.

* In ''Fanfic/FreedomsLimits'', Madavi's first pregnancy comes as a complete shock and definitely wasn't planned. She doesn't even realise she's pregnant until another woman points out the symptoms. Smador is shocked too, to the point of [[ButICantBePregnant But You Can't Be Pregnant!]], as he thought he'd been careful not to sleep with Madavi when [[MissConception she was in heat]]. He then realises that [[InterspeciesRomance humans]] are physically different from orcs in that regard, [[FailedASpotCheck which hadn't occurred to him before]]. To be fair, they're both pretty young and naïve; Madavi's only around [[TeenPregnancy fourteen/fifteen]] and Smador is implied to be around the same age. Madavi doesn't want to abort the pregnancy but she knows her employers probably won't look kindly on her bearing a [[HalfBreedDiscrimination half-human half-orc child]], so she leaves her job and moves in with Smador, who lives in a small cave in the forest. Her life is a lot less comfortable and secure, but she and Smador are determined to make the best of it and be good parents.



* In ''Breaking Dawn'', the last book of the ''Literature/Twilight'' series, Bella gets pregnant with her vampire husband's child. The reason that it's an ''unexpected'' pregnancy is that A) she gets pregnant the very first time that they ever have sex and B) the series (and the author) up until this point ''heavily'' implied that vampires can't have children. In fact, earlier in the series Edward lamented that he couldn't give Bella kids. Besides which, the pregnancy is incredibly dangerous and completely upends Bella's plans for her future. She never even considers an abortion, although more than half of her supernatural family (including her husband and her best friend) try to convince her to terminate the pregnancy.
