Within an episode (or a chapter or a scene), someone is born or a pregnancy is revealed and someone else dies, emphasizing the cycle of life. A supertrope of Death by Childbirth, but includes all the cases where the death is not the mother, as well as those where it is. The Phoenix is a symbol of the motif. Also a form of Ironic Juxtaposition. Compare Babies Ever After, Dead Guy Junior, Someone to Remember Him By, Coming and Going (where someone might be conceived), and Life/Death Juxtaposition (where the general concept of "life" is juxtaposed with that of "death"). See Also: Died on Their Birthday, where a character's death takes place on the anniversary of their own birth, and Wedding/Death Juxtaposition, where death occurs close to a wedding, juxtaposing happiness and sadness. As this is a Death Trope, all spoilers are henceforth unmarked. Beware. |

Terminator: Terminator Salvation, while technically not ending in a "birth", per se, ends with Marcus giving his heart to a fatally wounded John Connor. Played straight in the original The Terminator: after Kyle Reese dies, Sarah Connor is shown pregnant with their son, John. |

Big Love. Family patriarch Bill is killed. The epilogue, despite being ten months later, is of his grandson's christening. (Although the math would indicate that he was indeed born soon after Bill's death, playing the trope even straighter). | |

Scorpion has this in the ominously titled episode "Arrivals and Departures". The case of the week involves an outbreak of an ancient fungus in the hospital where Walter's sister Megan is confined. Toby and Happy get trapped in the hospital's cafeteria along with a very pregnant lady. By the episode's climax, the fungus has been contained, allowing the woman to give birth safely, while Walter's family gathers to see his sister die. | |

Dragon Ball: In the original Dragon Ball, after King Piccolo is fatally wounded by a young Goku, he spits out an egg containing Piccolo Jr., who he intends to continue his mission to kill Goku and take over the world,note In typical Dragon Ball fashion, while Piccolo Jr. is the main antagonist of the final arc in the series, he becomes an anti-hero for the first arc in the sequel series as well as the interquel movie before fully joining the hero side. before he explodes. This technically happened when Goku got Chi-Chi pregnant just before dying in the Cell games in Z, but it's not shown that Chi-Chi had a son (Goten) until several episodes later (seven years in the storyline). |

Harry Potter (of course) has a symbolic 'rebirth' (surviving the first attempt on his life, and being adopted) the same night his parents are murdered. Later on, Cedric Diggory is killed before Voldemort's resurrection (which involves nearly killing Harry, again). There's also Trelawney's prophecy, connecting Harry and Voldemort in birth and death. And just to make sure the symbolism is clear, the two of them also are linked by phoenix feathers in their wands. Also, the birth of Teddy Lupin followed closely by the deaths of his parents. | |

Toyed with in Scrubs: Dr. Cox doesn't want his daughter's birth to be announced until later, over concern that her birth will forever be associated with Laverne's death. His son Jack's birthday had already been associated with Ben's death in an earlier episode; rather than having a birthday party the had planned for him, they had a funeral. JD explicitly states that this is one of the beautiful things about working in a hospital in the episode "My Philosophy", such as patients receiving life-saving donor organs from someone who just died or (unfortunately) the possible death of either a mother or child to save the other's life. He refers to it as the "circle of life" (he likes that lion cub). |

St. Elsewhere: In "Haunted", the Craigs' son Stephen dies after getting into a car accident - caused by his using both cocaine and barbiturates - while driving himself and his heavily pregnant new wife Yvonne Galecki back to Ohio at the end of the previous episode "Fathers and Sons". The next day, Dr. Roxanne Turner is forced to deliver the baby by C-section while Yvonne is still comatose. The baby is a girl, who is later named Barbara. In "Family Feud", Senator Gordon Endicott is assassinated in the St. Eligius chapel while his mother Augusta is undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. The next day, his heavily pregnant niece Sarah Preston is distraught by not only his death but the effect that it is having on her grandmother. The trauma of the situation causes her to go into premature labor and the baby is delivered by C-section. It is a boy, whom she names Gordon after her late uncle. |

The Irregular at Magic High School: One of the things that helped Maya recover from her Mind Rape (which she perceives as having "killed" her past self) was that it resulted in the birth of Tatsuya, who for various reasons could not have been conceived any other way. Both times a Yotsuba has told the story of their family, they skip over the years in between the massacre of Maya's kidnappers and the announcement that Miya was pregnant, considering that period of time uneventful. In volume 8, Tatsuya is thinking about Honami's Heroic Sacrifice several years ago when a girl who looks just like her enters the room. Pragmatically, this means that another clone of the Sakurai line had been created, the girl being Honami's replacement and "sister". Symbolically, it means that Honami lives in her- not in the sense that they're the same person but that the good she sacrificed herself for didn't die with her body. |

In the remake Children of the Corn (2009), the main character stumbles around a cornfield, finding the dead bodies of all the evil cult members he'd killed. Interspliced with this scene is another of a creepy ceremony where the cult gathers around to watch one of their members knock up the obligatory horror-flick naked babe. Technically more a Conception/Death Juxtaposition than Birth/Death, but close enough. | |

On The X-Files episode "Existence," the scene where Scully gives birth is cut with scenes of a high-speed chase that ends with Alex Krycek's death. In "Paper Clip", the trope is directly referenced by Navajo medicine man Albert Hosteen, who says that each time a life begins on Earth another must end. Scully's sister Melissa, who was shot in the previous episode, spends most of this one hospitalized, and Hosteen takes the birth of a white buffalo calf within his reservation as a bad sign. |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar Roku's death a hundred years ago is shown, followed by a scene of the birth of Aang. More generally, whenever an Avatar dies the next Avatar is born within the hour. Played with in The Legend of Korra. Pema's baby is born on the same day that the Equalists attack Republic City. The "death" in this case is not that of a person but of Republic City (as we know it, anyway). In the episode "Beginnings" Wan has bonded with Raava, and they become the Avatar, fighting to maintain peace among the humans. Years later, we see an aged Wan, dying alone on an unknown battlefield, regretting that they could not keep the peace. Raava says she'll always be with him in all of his lifetimes, as he breathes his last breath and she leaves his body. The screen fades to white and a baby's cry is heard, symbolizing the beginning of the Avatar Cycle and the birth of the second Avatar. |

On General Hospital, BJ Jones was killed in a school bus accident and her heart was donated to her ailing cousin Maxie. Her relieved parents celebrated by making love—and conceived their second child. The show's legendary "Clink, BOOM" moment featured Mafia Princess Lily Corinthos being killed via Car Bomb the day after learning she was pregnant (and at precisely the moment Brenda and Jax married). |

In Gunnerkrigg Court, a human with fire-elemental blood passes their life force onto their first child. They grow weaker as the child grows older, and die when the child is about 12 years old. Surma Carver was one such person; her daughter Antimony only learns of these facts, and that she'll go through the same thing as well, three years after Surma's death. | |

Fortunately, the woman is found alive (she had actually been kidnapped by a deranged woman who wanted to steal her baby)—but in labor. Briscoe later comments that it was actually nice to have one good thing happen among the slew of murders that they dealt with that day. | |

In the The Lion King (1994) fanfic Pride Lands Generations, one character (the Large and in Charge king) was torn apart by a pack of jackals while the Starcrossed Lovers were conceiving their cub—with intercuts between the scenes. The fact the dying character was the ancestor of Mufasa and Simba, while those having sex were the ancestors of Zira, only made the juxtaposition all the more meaningful. Looking back, the author has stated that it seems horribly Anvilicious now, but also a good idea at the time, and generally it still works—it's the Circle of Life, after all. | |

In the background to A Song of Ice and Fire, Prince Rhaegar (himself long dead by the time the story proper starts, though no less an important figure in it) was born on the same day that his great-grandfather, King Aegon V, died in the Tragedy at Summerhall. In the actual story, Drogo dying the same night Dany's dragons are hatched. They are the first living dragons in over a hundred years. |

Partly because he's amused by the contrast and juxtaposition, and partly because he wants to get the aforementioned son acquainted with the violence that comes with the life of a mafia boss/pirate (he is the heir to the family business, after all). | |

Steel Magnolias. At the very end of the film, Annelle heads to the hospital to give birth to her child. Earlier, Annelle had asked M'lynn if she minded her and her husband naming the child after her daughter Shelby, whose funeral had been earlier that day. The film begins with a wedding, has a funeral near the end, and ends during an Easter celebration and egg hunt. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers features some tragic examples with the births and deaths of nations. Nations like Greece and Egypt only became countries themselves after their mothers died. The same goes for the Italies with their grandfather, the British Isle brothers and their mother Britannia, the Germanic nations and Germania, and even Hungary and Magyar. There are possibly many other examples we are not yet aware of, but the fact remains that many of the nations had to lose their parents in order to succeed them and come into their own as countries, in a way being reborn. | |

The final issue of the (supposedly) final Love and Capes mini-series deals with the death of Windstar, a member of the Liberty League, and also Mark and Abby's Real Estate Agent, in which role he has been prominent throughout the previous four issues. After the League's memorial gathering, Amazonia tells Abby that the tradition on her world is for mourners to undertake "life-affirming" activities. Abby thinks this is a good idea and suggests it to Mark once they're at home again. The issue ends with Abby announcing that she's pregnant. | |

In the Touhou Project fanfic ''Gensokyo 20XXV, we have Yume Ni's death of illness taking place around the time when Ran found out she was pregnant, as Chen noted, earlier in said chapter, and, later, lampshading it. Incidentally, throughout in the series, we've had Ran having babies after other characters have died but the above instance is the most prominent. |

Used in the first book of The Dark Elf Trilogy. While his family was in the midst of a stealth attack on a rival house, Drizzt was born minutes before his eldest brother, Nalfein, was stabbed from behind by middle brother Dinin. The tenets of drow society cause the two parts of this trope to be linked, as the only reason Drizzt was not sacrificed moments later was because his brother had died: if a newborn male child would result in three or more living male children, then every third such birth must be sacrificed. Nalfein's death put the Do'Urden family under the limit, and Drizzt lived to see another day. | |

House of the Dragon: In the pilot, the labor of Queen Aemma is juxtaposed with The Tourney that was organized to honor her incoming son, with knights gladly killing each other. Subverted in that the son dies, shortly after his mother following the Traumatic C-Section that was meant to save him. |

The Blue Lagoon: Immediately after witnessing a native being ritually sacrificed in the sacred place, Richard runs back to find Emmeline. He finds her wailing from labor pains. Also a less obvious example in that they eventually name the baby Paddy. Paddy was their foster-father figure who died and left them all alone on the island. Since they had learned very little of the realities of the world at the time of their marooning, it could be said that the original Paddy is the source of their entire concept of death. |

ER: In the infamous "Love's Labor Lost" episode, a woman dies in childbirth. This bookends the aptly titled episode "Motherhood", which starts out with Dr. Susan Lewis delivering her sister's baby and concludes with the death of Dr. Peter Benton's elderly mother. And it's played out literally in the episode "Great Expectations"—as Carol gives birth, an elderly woman in the room next door dies of renal failure. (Though a more direct version of the trope was averted for Carol, since she had complications during the birth of her second twin, but ended up okay.) |

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: A literal instance with the young owl Nyroc hatching at the same time as a major battle between the aponymus guardians and the Pure Ones, with lots of death. One of the dead is the head of the Pure Ones, Nyroc's father Kludd. A more symbolic birth occurs with this young owl, now known as Coryn, after he abandons the Pure Ones, when he succeeds in retrieving the Ember of Hoole, which makes him the king of the Guardians. Immediately after this an other former member of the Pure Ones, Uglamore, gets infected with rabies and dies. And this is also juxtaposed to the deaths of the previous monarchs of the Guardians. |

Barney Miller had a New Year's Eve episode like this. An extremely pregnant lady is brought into the station house as Fish goes out to talk a suicidal man from jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. The pregnant lady gives birth in Barney's office, helped by Liz and Wojo, who's had experience in Vietnam. Fish returns, looking haggard. Greeted with "Hey, we had a baby!" he replies "You win one, you lose one." | |

Played with in The Legend of Korra. Pema's baby is born on the same day that the Equalists attack Republic City. The "death" in this case is not that of a person but of Republic City (as we know it, anyway). | |

Song of Solomon begins with a man named Robert Smith on the roof of the hospital, falling to his death as he attempts to fly with a suit he has created. One of the women in the crowd of onlookers goes into labor, and the next day gives birth to the protagonist, Milkman, becomes the first black child born in that same hospital. He then grows up and learns to fly himself. Sort of/maybe. | |

The Culture have a custom of doing this whenever somebody dies of old age. Of course, being The Culture, they don't really have to die. It's just social expectation for them to die of old age after a long life. And it isn't necessarily a birth; it could be somebody being resurrected from long-term electronic storage. | |

Breaking Bad has the episode "Phoenix", where Holly White's birth and Jane Margolis' death occur in the same episode. The episode's Double-Meaning Title references this, invoking the myth of the phoenix. Similarly, the previous episode is called "Mandala" (a Sanskrit word denoting the circle of life and death). It opens with Combo being shot dead and ends with Skyler going into labor. |

There are several examples in ElfQuest comics. There's a moment in The Rebels where the gang is led to believe that the funeral over the death of one colonist will include the sacrifice of a boy as well. Turns out it's just his coming-of-age ceremony... but the ceremony developed from a time when they did kill someone to "accompany" the dead, in part to ease a situation of overcrowding and low resources. In Shards, Krim and Skot declare before a battle that they kind of want to die this time, as they think they lived long enough for ones of their tribe. After Skot manages just that, Krim is all the more determined to die of her wounds until she's told that she's pregnant. After that, she wants to live to protect the child and she does. There's also a Recognition (inducing pregnancy) at the beginning of that storyline, as well as the death of another elf during the fights, so it evens out perfectly across the arc, for the elves at least. In the story Rogue's Challenge, the Wolfrider elders discuss this cycle of life, making the lack of death, or at least danger, responsible for a lack of births. [1] |

Friends: when Phoebe's grandmother dies, Monica rushes in and tells the group that a couple is having sex in a car out on the street. The rest of the gang tries to tell her that now isn't the time, but Phoebe isn't that disappointed. "It's kinda cool. 'Cause it's like, you know, one life ends and another begins." Monica leans down and whispers to the others, "Not the way they're doing it." | |

Succession: In the third episode of season 4, without much foreshadowing, Logan suddenly dies on an airplane traveling to meet with the head of GoJo right before the closure of Waystar acquiring the company. The entire episode provides a play-by-play of the event, ending with Logan being announced dead on arrival when the plane finally relands and his body being wheeled away in a body bag. At the beginning of the very next episode, it's revealed Shiv, who is currently estranged and in the process of divorcing her husband Tom, is pregnant. | |

And later in the same book, Hannes (Rebecka's son) is born at the same time as his great-grandmother Sofia Margareta is dying from cancer (she seems to live on for a few months after Hannes is born, but her dying is mentioned in the same epilogue as his birth). Decades later, Elin dies on the same day as her great-grand-niece and namesake Elin is born. |
