Babies Make Everything Better	comment	A baby can improve the situation and solve everyone's problems just by turning up. At least, according to this trope. Babies mend broken relationships, restore someone's faith in life, and can even stop wars. Even the obligatory Screaming Birth won't put onlookers (or the mother) off pondering the magnificence of life — not even onlookers who are normally so easily squicked out that the messiness of childbirth should have rendered them comatose. All angst is dissolved with their first cry, all the problems in their parents' lives melt away with one glimpse into those Innocent Blue Eyes, the world's problems seem insignificant next to their first dirty nappy... The positive side of this trope is that it embraces the joyful new beginning that a baby represents. Here is a brand new person, on their way to all of the wonderful experiences that come with being alive. Their chubby-faced cuteness and innocence light up the room, and even the Knight in Sour Armor cannot help but smile back when they flash their toothless grin at them. They are freshness and newness incarnate, not to mention a chance to start over, try again, and perhaps avoid some of the mistakes of the past. The negative side of this trope is that it makes childbearing (and child-raising) look far more simple and convenient than you find it in Real Life. The inconveniences of having a baby are usually downplayed or glossed over, and even previously irresponsible parents will be instantly willing and able to step up and take responsibility for the newborn. In short, it makes a baby seem like nothing but magic and wonder when in reality they are sleep-deprivation, a complete disruption of the normal routine, and a whole lot of work — and that's before they start walking and talking and thinking for themselves. In Real Life, invoking this trope doesn't always work out, as it has a complicated relationship with Truth in Television. We've all seen couples get closer together after having babies, but also seen those who subvert the trope by drifting apart or even divorcing. This raises the question of underlying logic: if the force acting on the couples is the same, how can that force have completely different effects? The answer is that the act of having a baby isn't truly a force — or, rather, it's not a transformative force. It doesn't change a bad relationship into a good one. Instead, it's an accelerative force, one that takes the pre-existing relationship — which may be good or bad — and makes it more of that. The couple that already had problems will find those problems exacerbated by the magnifying glass of baby stress; the couple that's already strong and happy will find themselves growing closer. Babies don't, to quote The Beatles, "Take a sad song and make it better" — they take a happy song and make it better. If given a sad song, they make it worse. (The only thing that makes a sad song better is Character Development.) For some couples, a baby is indeed the answer to their problem — because their problem is that they don't have any children. For others who are struggling, their intention to have children someday forces them to work together and sort their problems out. There are also many stories of seemingly-unlikely mothers and fathers who take to parenthood like ducks to water and (even if they were shocked or dismayed to learn of the pregnancy at first) now wouldn't have it any other way. Many if not most parents take having a child to care and provide for and to provide a good example for as good reasons to lead productive and well-ordered lives, and some only get their act together once they have that reason. However, the fact remains that Real Life babies are expensive, life-long responsibilities — the very opposite of something that will simplify your life and make fewer problems (a fact that most Deconstructions of this trope are quick to point out). Babies are not epiphany therapists and definitely not magicians. They are not the key to making a squabbling or burnt-out couple suddenly fall back in love and in perfect cooperation. In fact, having children can make some people easier to become victims of domestic abuse, as tying a man or woman to an abusive spouse through a child strips away their freedom to leave the relationship. Resentment towards an unwanted or difficult child is also a major factor in child abuse. Providing babies/toddlers with nutrition, education/stimulation, and everything else they need simply to thrive, grow, and not have major psychological issues or setbacks (much less absolute optimal levels of all of the above to make sure they have a chance at being highly educated/capable), is often beyond the financial, emotional and/or temporal reach of many people, and may be absolutely impossible to do well under conditions like war or famine. Then there's the problem of healthcare for both the mother if she experiences complications and/or a child with major physical or intellectual or emotional disabilities needing care for those, which becomes either impossible in less developed societies (leading to such things as Death by Childbirth and challenged children being abandoned/forced to beg or be slaves) or possible but at extreme financial and sometimes relational costs in the First World. Then there are some couples that are not equipped to have children, from anything from physical or mental reasons (and no, those mental reasons can't always be fixed via therapy) to simply having existing lives that have no room for children and no desire to quit or cut back on their career or lifestyle to be a "proper" parent. A character impervious to the cuteness of babies is frequently a Child Hater. See also Children Raise You, where the situation is less idealistic (though with much the same outcome) and the caretaker is not the child's biological parent. Compare The Baby Trap, which is when a character who believes in this trope attempts to invoke it without the knowledge and/or consent of their partner (or, failing that, may resort to a Fake Pregnancy in hopes of making them stick around), and Babies Ever After, where babies are used as proof of a happy ending. See Babies, Babies Everywhere for related tropes. Expect characters who believe this trope to criticize others for choosing not to have children of their own, which is Not Wanting Kids Is Weird. Polar opposite of Children Are a Waste.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_11b7db91	comment	Played hilariously straight in an episode of Adventure Time. Two spiders are having marital troubles and constantly arguing. When the wife appears to be furious with the husband, then in pain ...as she gives birth to about a million babies, by raining them in the air. After realizing they're parents, they kiss and make up, implying things will be better from now (although Finn is freaked out by the baby spiders). AV Club noted the implications of the ending. Happens again in the season 6 opener. The Lich tries to kill everyone (his standard M.O.) and Finn defeats him by turning the Lich into a giant baby (It Makes Sense in Context ...kinda.) The scene then cuts to Mr. Pig and Tree Trunks who recently got married.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_17e6cb15	comment	Zig-zagged in the final season of Bojack Horseman for Princess Carolyn. On one hand, it is shown as being super-difficult work. Princess Carolyn is run ragged trying to keep up with "Untitled Princess Carolyn Project" in her episode, feeling entire days slip by while she does everything she can to keep her adopted baby happy while still being the go-getter she is, but she's failing. But after some advice from her rival Vanessa Gecko, she falls into a good rhythm and "Untitled Princess Carolyn Project (whom she names Ruthie) just becomes the apple of her eye from that point on.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_19b7bfc4	comment	In Breaking Dawn Bella herself admits that she doesn't like babies but two seconds after discovering she is pregnant decides that she wants nothing more than to have Edward's perfect, sparkly, gorgeous baby. Bella and Edward have an unrealistically good marriage (all two days of it) before the pregnancy is discovered and the baby grows up so fast that there is no period of dirty diapers, crying, or spoon feeding. It also plays this straight in the following ways and cements Nessie as Fixer Sue: Nessie instantly patches the relationship between Bella and her new sister-in-law Rosalie, who spent the last three books despising the girl and is pretty much the only Cullen vampire who didn't adore Bella from day one. Nessie is also the perfect soul mate of Bella's own lovelorn suitor Jacob, who is immediately smitten with the child and totally drops whatever feelings he may have had for Bella. His relationship with Edward is thus completely mended, with Edward even calling Jacob his "son" and giving his blessing. Nessie is also also the bridge between the vampires and the wolf pack, since Jacob imprints on her. Therefore, the two clans become allies, even more than when Jacob was pining for Bella - since he actually imprints on Nessie and the shapeshifters are forbidden from harming any shapeshifter's imprint. The fight gearing up between the two groups is thus negated entirely. Nessie is also also also the catalyst for Bella becoming a vampire (when she was second-guessing the prospect), which gives Bella the ability to use her new-and-improved mental shield to protect everyone on her side of the fight with the Volturi, so the Volturi cannot harm them. Thus the battle for which vampires have been gathering from all over the globe ends in a polite discussion before everyone goes home.

He uses guerilla tactics in a very clear effort to kill his owner (rather than wanting to fight him head-on) until he kills one of the Sword Fiends who tries to kill him. Said sword fiend had just killed a father with a newborn baby, who imprints on Kazeshini and quickly becomes his Morality Pet.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_261c8d3f	comment	Played straight on The Simpsons. Marge's third pregnancy ruined Homer's plans for a dream job and future happiness, forcing him to take up work at the power plant again, and he made it no secret that he was miserable about the whole thing. What brought him out of his depression? Maggie's birth. The episode kicks off with Bart and Lisa noticing that Maggie has no baby pictures. At the end, Homer explains that they are where he needs them the most. Cut to his station at the power plant, decorated with pictures of Maggie. Mr. Burns put up a plaque reading "Don't Forget - You're Here Forever" when Homer was re-hired. The photos block out bits and pieces of this sign so it reads, "Do It For Her." This trope was also averted in the same episode when it depicted how Homer lost his hair: whenever Marge announced that she was pregnant, Homer would rip out a handful of hair from his scalp and run upstairs screaming. It was doubly subverted in the episode "I Married Marge", where Marge was afraid she was pregnant again. The kids react with delight upon learning they'll have another brother or sister; Homer responds by telling them a new baby isn't all fun and games and tells them the story of Bart's conception and the resulting pregnancy and birth. In the end, Bart's birth made everything better: Homer gets a job, saves his marriage, and tells off his sisters-in-law. Then it was triply subverted when Marge returned from the Doctor.

Their marriage does seem to improve for a while, but eventually things fall apart after (1) Betty starts falling for another man (Henry Francis, an adviser to Governor Nelson Rockefeller) and (2) she finds out who Don really is. Fourteen months after Betty finds out about her pregnancy, she's flying out to Nevada (with Henry and baby Eugene) to file for divorce.

He had promised to be the House Husband to convince Therese to get pregnant, then is shocked when his wife kept him to his word, instead of deciding to Stay in the Kitchen despite her highly successful career. We're expected to side with Anthony, and cheer when they divorce so he can be with Elizabeth. It's easy to invoke Alternative Character Interpretation, though.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_3e5de40b	comment	Scrubs both used and subverted this: A Christmas episode sees an unplanned pregnancy and labor restore the cast's faith in life (and in Turk's case, God), Dr. Cox and Jordan bond (albeit rather cynically) over the birth of a friend's child, and formerly child-indifferent Elliot becomes a cooing puddle of mush - but in another episode, J.D. wonders who the hell managed to romanticize childbirth. Later episodes address the fact that Carla, a responsible woman who really wanted to be a mum, still had to deal with postpartum depression. One story arc involved J.D. getting Sacred Heart's urologist Dr. Kim Briggs pregnant, after having only dated for a very short time (the pregnancy was also caused by non-penetrative sex). Kim accepts a job in Washington, tells J.D. she miscarried, and the two end the relationship. It's later revealed that she lied. Kim and J.D. reunite for a while, but ultimately they end the relationship, remaining friends for the sake of their son Sam. Also, after Kim shows J.D. a video of their son, he realizes how much of Sam's life he's missing by living a 40-minute drive away and decides to move into the area on the spot. After that, J.D. and Turk have to face the realization that they can't see one another every day, as Turk has a family of his own.

She does undergo a radical change in the following season but, if anything, she only gets more evil, and there are other obvious reasons. Specifically, the influence of her grandmother, Rita, and her desire to go after the then-boy now-old man Rita had an affair with.

In season three, when Tera gets pregnant she decides to have an abortion since it is going to complicate an already messy situation with Jax. Having the baby in Charming also means that she will be more or less locked into staying involved with the Sons. She ends up not having the abortion for other reasons and when Jax finds out he is overjoyed. Neither really expects things to get better because of the baby. Word of God state that the financial difficulties of having an extremely sick baby (Jax's older brother) that caused John Teller to start dealing in illegal firearms and resulted in corrupting the club into what it is in the present. When the baby still died, John became depressed and alienated from Gemma and ultimately ended up dead.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_5a3533fe	comment	A variant on My Name Is Earl. After meeting and getting married while Joy was already 8 months pregnant, Joy becomes pregnant for the second time and Earl is excited to be an actual father. Problem is, he's not the father; Joy had an affair with Darnell, and the truth came out 9 months later. Earl is (understandably) crushed, and plans to leave Joy. He really has nowhere to go, so he heads back to his parents' house, intending to live there permanently and forget all about Joy, the kids, and the affair. Earl's dad convinces him to go back, if only for Dodge and Earl Jr., and Earl realizes his dad's right. He goes back to his family and does his best to provide for them (even if that usually involves stealing), looking back he views this ordeal as the one decent thing he did in his life before he found karma. He remained a serviceable parent to the kids, at least until the events of the first episode when Joy divorces Earl while he's hospitalized to be with Darnell. There are multiple twists and turns to this situation over the seasons. Joy reveals that their day one marriage was not a drunken accident but that she was so desperate for some sort of help she had her friends liquor Earl up before she made her move. She wasn't always appreciative, but she did respect the efforts he made. The series finale then twists everything around, Joy's first son is actually Earl's from a one-night stand at a masked Halloween party, while her second son is not Darnell's. Deconstructed in another episode: Earl reveals that (somewhere between the ages of 12 and 14), he had a crush on his babysitter, but found out she already had a boyfriend. He was jealous, and searched through the boyfriend's wallet, intending to take his money, but then he found a condom. Earl poked holes in the condom, rendering it completely ineffective, and naturally (as per the Law of Inverse Fertility) the babysitter became pregnant. She apparently married her boyfriend (and gave birth at the wedding reception), and though they are still together and happy as can be, their son (now an adult) is an ungrateful loser. His doting parents just enable him. Earl decides to teach him how to be more mature... though it's actually Randy that ends up doing it.

However, when she becomes pregnant, she tells us in an inner monologue that she begins to feel she can really love her husband. When she loses the child and her husband in an accident and had to have her uterus removed, she goes crazy because she as a doctor has to frequently perform abortions for prostitutes, and eventually begins killing those patients. At the end of it, she expects Ciel to sympathize with her because in her view any woman that doesn't appreciate being able to have children when that ability was forcibly taken away from her must be a shallow tart undeserving of any sympathy.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_60430ff4	comment	The Emigrants, which follows a group of farmers who emigrate from Sweden to America in the mid-19th century, shows the joys of parenthood while still averting this trope. The main characters, Karl Oskar and Kristina, are peasant farmers who decide to emigrate because they aren't able to support their growing family on the small farm where they live. Once in America, they begin to prosper (to a degree - they never become rich but their standard of living certainly approves) and after a few years they can easily support their children, but having a new baby every couple of years is still not easy. Karl Oskar and Kristina love their children very much and as the kids grow older they are able to help out at the farm and run the household. On the other hand, by the time they begin to prosper, they've already had six children (though not all survive childhood) and every new baby means spreading their meagre supplies even thinner. There's a heartbreaking part before they emigrate when they've had another year of bad harvest and Kristina is devastated to see her children go hungry and wants to give her share of the food to them, only she can't because she has a new baby to nurse. It kills her inside to have to essentially take food from her starving children so that she can in turn feed the youngest. There's also a part of the story where she gives birth to a baby boy a few months after arriving in America, wherein the arrival of a new child could not have come at a worse time yet Kristina is beside herself with joy over her new baby. In the end Kristina suffers a miscarriage while pregnant with her ninth child. Her numerous pregnancies, all the hard work she's had to do, the emotional stress of emigrating and leaving her parents, siblings, friends, and home behind forever, and a previous miscarriage the year before have all weakened her health and a few days after miscarrying, she dies.

After Sally goes through with an abortion, she reminds Cliff that they aren't really in love and even if they tried to be good parents, their relationship would fall apart. Cliff insists that he'd never leave her if there was a baby involved, and she retorts, "To hold us together, you mean. A lot of pressure for an infant, don't you think?"

Babies Make Everything Better / int_7ac0e0b0	comment	I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: The consequences of a typical deconstruction are depicted several years after the fact. According to a conversation with Instance, Dys and Tang are the result of their mother believing that having children would make her feel less lonely. Their mother was dead via suicide by the time they were old enough to start going to school. In the present day, both the twins and the friend of their mother, who's keeping an eye on them, wonder if their mother ever truly cared about them. This is played straight with some romance options who won't have any children on their own, but are willing to co-parent with Sol, as the children will always bring out the best in them. Ironically, one of the romance options to whom this applies is Dys himself. Once the colony's supplies become sufficient thanks to the Heliopause's arrival, having many children with as many partners as possible is highly encouraged, not just to populate the planet, but also to increase genetic diversity. This along with the promotion of communal childrearing becomes a symbol of hope for the future of Vertumna.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_7b6c4921	comment	Degrassi: The Next Generation usually inverts this: Manny and Liberty's pregnancies made everything worse, especially Liberty's; Manny ends up getting an abortion and Liberty puts the baby up for adoption. Mia got pregnant at 13 and the father abandoned her. Her daughter is a toddler by the time Mia is introduced and shows a few teen parent struggles, but otherwise the show doesn't show her far worse off than some of the other non-parent student problems though. (Although both Mia and Emma's mother Spike from the original Degrassi High series have pretty supportive families). Emma thought she was pregnant, but Alternative Character Interpretation has it that she faked the pregnancy so Sean would stay with her. Jenna's pregnancy initially has the father K.C. abandon her. They agree to keep the baby but K.C. neglects his parental duties, cheats on Jenna, Jenna having to miss school to stay home with the baby, and they're constantly fighting (to the point one turned physical), all of which Jenna notes when they eventually decide to put their baby up for adoption.

When Snow White and Bigby's seven children are born, it's treated as a miracle amongst the Fables community. As revealed in Peter and Max, the wicked Max Piper made all Earth-based Fables sterile during his revenge on his brother in the 1920s. The only other birth, Beast and Beauty's recent newborn, is celebrated while shrouded in omens (Frau Totenkinder knits a baby outfit with six limbs). Abortion is forbidden, though Frau Totenkinder owns a chain of abortion clinics to keep her magic powers fully fueled.

The second time you meet them, their relationship is strained due to Duane becoming very stressed by the logistics of trying to raise a large number of helpless kids in the aftermath of global catastrophe with no outside help (other than the protagonists). Caitlin has naively assumed that this would be a good time to intentionally get pregnant, and is genuinely caught off-guard as to why heâ€™s not happy. (They do make up, but only after the player wins a solo mini boss fight, so itâ€™s not the doing of the baby at all.)

While a deed of affection, it also serves the kingdom of Valdemar by 1. stabilizing Shavri's mental health (she wanted a child so desperately she was coming unglued) and 2. putting paid to rumors that Randi was sterile, so that a marriage-alliance would remain a live option. The resulting daughter, Jisa, is never treated as anything but a good thing. Vanyel also performs this service for two sets of his other friends, which conveniently keeps his bloodline alive.

Liz plots to adopt the baby of a woman she finds working the night shift in a bakery and works to gain the mother's trust by giving her a job on TGS to "gauge the interests of young people." Pete calls her out on this manipulative behavior, saying that he freaked out several times whenever his wife got pregnant, but always came back. When the boyfriend does end up coming back, Pete's position is vindicated. From the audience's perspective, though, whether either of these two is fit to be parents is a legitimate question considering how naive and overly romantic they are.

However, Erich's increasingly disturbing behavior makes her initially reluctant to share the news with him, despite her insisting to herself the new baby will make their relationship better. She's horribly wrong; Erich's behavior only becomes more extreme as her pregnancy progresses (partly because he isn't fully convinced he's the father) and Jenny going into premature labor from stress worsens the situation. The baby's death is what ultimately turns Jenny against Erich. Following their infant son's death, Erich tries to invoke this with Jenny, badgering her into having sex with him so they can conceive a child, which he believes will repair the growing rift in their marriage. Jenny finally agrees to have sex with him, but in her mind, their marriage is so broken at this point nothing will fix it, least of all a child especially as their son hasn't been dead long and Erich barely seems to have grieved at all. It's implied that Erich actually thinks that impregnating Jenny will prevent her from leaving him.

Throughout various reincarnations they met each other, teamed up to fight Moebius, and fell in love with each other only for it to end with both of them dead. Their final incarnation however were able to continue the fight and settle down, granting this version of them the chance to have a son and be the happiest life they'd had yet. However they were still trapped by Aionios' cycle, meaning that when their son Ghondor was still a toddler Noah and Ghondor watched as Mio faded into light, leaving Noah utterly heartbroken before not long after he too died, leaving their son an orphan. Experiencing the woman he loved die over and over with every reincarnation was traumatic enough, but finally achieving happiness only for it to torn away from him was the final straw for Noah that drove him into utter despair, allowing for Z to offer an eternal life with Mio at his side at the cost of becoming Moebius and slaughtering the very people Noah had fought to protect. Broken and despairing, Noah accepted and became N.

It does manage to execute this trope relatively well in that neither the pregnancy nor birth of his child automatically make Ben's relationship with Alison any better: he has to work really hard to get the happy ending and it takes him a while to figure out how to actually achieve this and get the other parent on board. Unfortunately the fact that much of this Character Development happens in a quick third-act Montage blunts this somewhat.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_bf797086	comment	Children of Men may be the film's ultimate example of this trope. Every human being on earth has somehow been rendered sterile; with no hope for any future, humankind has descended into fascism and pointless conflicts. Then, out of nowhere, an ordinary woman named Kee gives birth, in the heart of a conflict zone. Her platonic guardian Theo manages to get to her, and starts to lead her to (possible) safety, right through the middle of a battle. The newborn begins to cry, a sound that hasn't been heard by anybody for 18 years. Both soldiers and rebels stop fighting and stand in stunned silence, as the couple passes by with the baby. Some pray, kneel, or reach to touch the little one. In the midst of massive destruction, chaos, and despair, hope for the world has been reborn.

It doesn't go any better with her second child, who is the son of Meggie and Father Ralph. Not only does he not make everything better, he unwittingly spites Meggie by, instead of being a human piece of Ralph to carry on, opting to become a priest, the thing that most angers Meggie about Ralph in the first place. Then he dies, leaving her with Luke's daughter, whom she has treated as horribly as she was treated by her mother. Babies pretty much make everything much, much worse.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_d31cdea	comment	The Hunger Games: This trope is deliberately invoked by Peeta who claims Katniss is pregnant after the two are forced back into the arena for the Quarter Quell. Apparently not even the bloodthirsty denizens of the Capitol seem to want to watch a pregnant girl be killed. Played with in the final book of the trilogy, where it's less "Babies Make Everything Better" and more "Everything's Better, so let's have Babies," or "Babies Make Life Slightly More Bearable." Early on in the series, Katniss makes it clear that she has no interest in bringing children into a world where they have any chance of winding up fighting to the death in the eponymous Hunger Games. The epilogue indicates that she thinks the world has improved enough that having kids could be worth it. That said, it still took the violent destruction of the tyrannical regime that ran the games and fifteen years on top of that for Peeta to convince her to have two children. They don't really make everything better either: the epilogue makes very clear that Katniss is still traumatized and afraid that all good things will be taken from her, even though she has children now. This is less 'babies make everything better' and more the fact that the world is finally 'better' enough to have babies in the first place.

Bucky's always derived self-worth from being a caretaker, both to his siblings and Steve when he was ill, and he can't afford to lose himself if the baby needs him.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_d7aab7c1	comment	Played pretty straight in episode 7 of Sailor Moon R (episode 53 overall), where the Cardian is sent in to attack babies and one of the mothers takes the brunt of an attack meant for her son. The baby, unfortunately, has no one to take care of him, so Mamoru, being the good guy that he is, volunteers. Usagi decides to help and the two of them even hold hands when they dance for joy when the little baby begins to walk and talks for the first time. At the time, Mamoru had amnesia and didn't remember anything about loving Usagi. In fact, he clearly found her kind of strange and unpleasant. This one is slightly more excusable since they were just babysitting, and since they weren't sole caretakers of the little one long enough it didn't have time to stop being fun and become reality.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_e8f15e5b	comment	In Captain French, or the Quest for Paradise by Mikhail Akhmanov and Christopher Nicholas Gilmore, the titular space trader gets a new wife (he literally buys her from a convent on a religious world), and they fall in love fairly quickly. After months of traveling (subjective time) the stars and seeing many planets, she decides that she wants to give him a baby, something only one other woman has done before - his very first wife on Earth 20,000 years ago. Despite his arguments (perfectly valid) about the problems of having a fetus develop in a low-gravity environment and the lonely life he or she would have aboard the ship, she still wants a baby. Finally, she comes up with a solution - French drops her off on a planet where native women have prophetic powers that allow them to choose their soulmate (this would keep French's wife from cheating), and she has a son that will grow up and get married on the planet. She would then return to the ship decades later from her time frame but only months for French. The problem ignored by the author is that this means that French himself never even meets his son until decades later, so she's not really giving him a child. French mentions that there are whole groups of women he likes to call the Frenetic Mothers. Their only goal in life is to bear as many babies as possible. Who the fathers are doesn't really matter. They are the driving force behind human colonization of the galaxy, urging planetary governments to build colony ships whenever population density warrants Population Control.

In fairness, the natural tendency of akumatisation is to boost existing emotions in order to make the akuma easy to manipulate, so it wasn't really her fault. It even sort of works; her victims go through a fair bit of physical and emotional struggle, but generally do come to love their babies and wouldn't give them up (despite having options on the table, from adoption to actual time travel).

Babies Make Everything Better / int_f163bd9f	comment	Played utterly straight in ElfQuest. Even when the characters really didn't want a child (as is the case with Dewshine and Tyldak), the baby is still treated as a small miracle. Later on in the comic, Dewshine is seen absolutely beside herself with joy because her lifemate, Scouter, has made another girl pregnant. Several healers, including Leetah and Rain, have made it practically their life's work to increase the tribe's fertility. Leetah's sister Shenshen is one of her village's most respected members because she's a midwife. Lord Voll forces an entire tribe to bend to his will just so he can see the chief's children; later Winnowill, the Big Bad, uses one of the kids both as Human Shield against the tribe and as motivation for her human pets, who understood elves to be basically sterile. Nonna and Adar, two humans, lead lonely and meaningless lives because they're barren, and are only shown to be truly happy once they've adopted three young orphans. Krim is willing to sacrifice her own life during the war until she finds out she's pregnant. Tyleet adopts a human baby who gets abandoned by his parents, and so on and so forth. The in-story justification for this, at least for the elves, is that elves have long lives and extremely low fertility, so every birth is celebrated no matter how strange the circumstances. As a further touch, almost every elven birth is caused by Recognition, a magical way to ensure that the child is specially gifted as a consequence of that particular genetic union. Of course, none of this stuff explains why the trope is implied to the relatively primitive humans present in the setting.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_f31d7d98	comment	In Drawn Together Toot comes to the conclusion that a baby will solve all her life's problems. When her housemates give her a baby from Nicaragua to practice her parenting skills, she's just as good as a guardian as you'd expect. note AKA extremely horrible.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_f5cf3f9a	comment	Invoked and then averted in Gone with the Wind. Frank assumes that if Scarlett has a baby, she'll be the sweet, loving woman with whom he fell in love. He's wrong, of course, given that the whole thing was just an act to snag him. Then, after she and Rhett marry, he admits that he had hoped that their marriage might work out after she gave birth to their daughter, and even after the relationship has effectively died, states that with Bonnie there, there could have still been some semblance of happiness. Later, when Scarlett learns she's pregnant again, for the first time ever, she's happy about it and sees the pregnancy as a chance for her and Rhett to reconcile, and after Bonnie's death, she admits that she'll have another child if that will bring him out of his grief. Similarly, despite numerous warnings not to have another child or it could cost her her life, Melanie gets pregnant anyway, believing she'll prove all her doctors wrong. Instead, Scarlett miscarries after another argument with Rhett, and the resulting strain contributes to the end of the marriage. By the time Bonnie dies, he wants nothing to do with her, while Melanie miscarries and dies.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_f61ea51b	comment	Interview with the Vampire (2022): Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt bring Claudia, their vampire daughter, into their household right when Louis is on the brink of walking out on their relationship. In the short-term, it does work — they're quite happy as a little family for a time. Claudia writes in her diary that she helps to smooth out any major conflicts between her Daddy Lou and her Uncle Les ("And when they can't [sort out their problems on their own], I can always get in between and make it right"). In the long-term, though, it doesn't work out so well, especially when one-half of the couple is a Crazy Jealous Guy. Lampshaded by Louis and Daniel Molloy in "...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding": The trope is played much straighter with Louis individually. Fatherhood brings a great deal of fulfillment and meaning to Louis' life.

Babies Make Everything Better / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Monica and Chandler's Happily Ever After in the finale is when they finally watch their children being born. Justified as they'd longed for children for years, fought very hard to get them, and are both mature characters who are totally prepared and capable of raising a family together. Plus they were already Happily Married, so it's not that children were fixing their marriage - just giving them what they'd always wanted. Averted with Ross and Rachel. They did not get back together after Ross accidentally got Rachel pregnant during a drunken hookup and the stress of raising a child strained their relationship further. When they got back together in the finale, their child had nothing to do with it.
