Two parents who are the same race (or species in science fiction or fantasy) are having a baby, but when it's born, it's either racially mixed or has some other trait(s) it couldn't have possibly received from its parents. To put it bluntly, there's no hiding that Mommy had an affair and was knocked up with the cad's baby. Even before DNA testing, this can resolve the question of whether or not the baby is the father's. If the mother is the main character, expect her to either have been raped or not know why she had a child that doesn't look like its father. If her husband is the main character or at least the one portrayed sympathetically, it's more likely that she cheated on him. In very old stories, the theory of "maternal impression" may be used to explain it - either seriously, or as a way of bamboozling the putative father. The most well-known subtype of this is a white couple that gives birth to a half-black child. The title comes from a scene in the movie Life where the (white) warden of an all-black prison sees his illegitimate grandson for the first time and is revolted to see that the kid is racially mixed. Then you have cases where the father has no idea the kid isn't his when it's clear to everyone else. As these are sure to be Three Month Old Newborns, expect the race to be completely obvious from birth, even though all babies tend to be considerably more pink for the first few days of their life - the Apgar score specifically measures this as one of the ways to evaluate a newborn's health. While black infants may appear slightly darker, most newborns don't have their true skin tone begin developing until around a few months after they're born. In Real Life, thanks to the many ways the effects of heredity can manifest, this can also happen if both parents are racially mixed, in which case their genes can combine in such way that they have a child that appears to be fully of one race. In exceptional cases, it's even possible for biracial fraternal twins to each resemble a different parent in racial features. That being said, the old wives' tale of a white parent and a light-skinned black parent (possibly passing as white) producing a dark-skinned baby is quite literally one in a million. This trope has been known to overlap with Red-Headed Stepchild in some examples that involve hair colour instead of skin colour. In darker-skinned families, this trope occasionally overlaps with Albinos Are Freaks if the father mistakes the baby's albinism for a sign that the mother cheated with a lighter-complexioned man. Compare Oblivious Adoption, which tends to be more innocent, and Random Species Offspring, which is more fantasy-oriented and doesn't involve cheating. If it's not a plot point, it's likely Hollywood Genetics at work. |

A rare example of a central character intentionally cheating on her (white) husband with a man of a different race comes from Andrea Levy's most popular novel Small Island. Also notable in that, despite his racist beliefs, her husband Bernard wants to keep the baby and raise him together. | |

In one Condorito strip, the title character plays a doctor who receives a man carrying a baby, the man says that his child was born with "deeply shut eyes" and that he may need surgery to correct them, upon looking at the child Condorito asks him if he or his wife had any oriental relatives which the man denies, Condorito then answers "Then it's you, my friend, who need to open your eyes because your child is Japanese". | |

Elphaba's younger sister Nessarose is either the daughter of Melena and her white husband Frexspar or her lover Turtle Heart. It's impossible to tell, though her light skin and hair point towards Frexspar. The family tree in A Lion Among Men confirmed that Frex is her biological father. | |

Dragon Age: Can be done accidentally with the Human Noble in Dragon Age: Origins. Most of the origins have at least one unseen parent who the Player Character might conceivably take after note the only other exception is the City Elf, whose Missing Mom makes a cameo in DLC, and is relatively dark-skinned, making darker City Elf players as plausible as lighter ones, since their father is white. Bryce and Eleanor Cousland, however, are both quite pale, leading to some incongruity if their child has one of the darker skin tones available in character creation. The second game changes the Player Character's family to match them to avoid this. In Inquisition, Morrigan's son Kieran can potentially have the player character from Origins as his father. However, the game has no way of controlling for said PC's appearance, so the boy is lily-white (matching his mother) regardless of how dark his father was. This led to quite a few jokes about Morrigan's supposed infidelity and a popular mod that adjusts Kieran's skin tone to better reflect his parentage. |

When an officer comes knocking and demands to know why Ellen has dark hair while her "sisters" are blonde, Mr. Johannsen passes her off as his daughter by showing the officer a baby photo of his deceased eldest daughter Lise, who had dark hair as a baby. | |

In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, a Trumbeak and Toucannon have a clutch of eggs that all hatch into Pikipek, except for one which turns out to be a Rowlet. How this happened is a mystery because a Pokémon's species is normally determined by its mother, not by the father, so it probably isn't a case of the mother cheating. A possible explanation could be that the Rowlet is a brood parasite. | |

On Switched at Birth, Daphne is abandoned by her father in her early childhood because of this trope—the Latina mother can't explain to the dark-featured French-Italian father why they have a pale-skinned, red-haired, blue-eyed baby (it turns out that she was switched at birth with another baby, who grows up dark and busty in a houseful of pale, waifish redheads. Her parents explained away her strange coloring as a sudden recurrence from the mother's Italian heritage). Later it turns out that John had also suspected this of Bay for just the same reasons, getting both their DNA secretly tested. It explains why he's not surprised about the DNA results when Bay later gets them to as well. Even so, though he thought Kathryn must have cheated on him, he'd already decided that no matter what, she and Bay are still his family. | |

A humorous fan theory about The Cosby Show invokes this trope to explain why the two eldest daughters Sandra and Denise are significantly lighter-skinned than the rest of the family. It's suggested that during Claire's law school days, she had an ongoing affair with a white classmate or professor, and thus the girls are actually biracial like their actresses. The irony (or Fridge Brilliance) of this theory is that interracial dating was something of a taboo on the show. | |

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 had this at the very end of the movie, where Frank's wife gives birth to a black baby... or so it appears. As Frank is chasing his black partner Nordburg through the hospital, it turns out they were in the wrong delivery room, and the chief comes out of a separate room with Frank's actual wife and child (Cue OJ Simpson joke). | |

Maury: Apparently Truth in Television: an episode featured a white woman who cheated on her also-white husband with a black man, had his baby, and passed it off as her husband's. The boy was clearly mixed-race, but her husband was fully convinced he was his son and was devastated by the obvious DNA test results. You kind of feel sorry for the guy when he breaks down crying, even if you can't help but wonder how this got past him in the first place. There was another episode where two white parents had two very dark-skinned black children. Since the woman had cheated around the time of their pregnancy they were afraid that they were both unsure of the father. However, it turns out her husband was their father, as the segment ends with Maury telling the audience how not everything is what it seems. |

Averted with Hyde from That '70s Show when it is revealed in one of the later seasons that his mother's husband wasn't his biological father; his biological father was a black man that owns a record store franchise. He jokes that his mother must have been relieved that he "came out white". Everyone acts awkwardly around Hyde's father when they find out, except Hyde himself. | |

It's not until years later, when Marinette becomes Ladybug, that Sabine - who used to be Tikki's partner as the heroine Lady Luck - discovers that Nathaniel's hair color comes from Tikki giving her a kiss on the belly the night she retired from heroism due to her pregnancy. | |

The scientist tries to convince him otherwise by pointing to a flock of white sheep which, thanks to the miracle of genetics, has an unexplained black sheep in its midst.

Downplayed in A Thousand Splendid Suns. On one occasion, Rasheed comments on the fact that Aziza's eye colour is neither his nor Laila's. That's because her real father is Tariq, whom Laila had slept with prior to marrying Rasheed, although she otherwise looks like Laila and so no one is any the wiser. It's later revealed that Rasheed actually knew for years that Aziza wasn't really his. | |

The Conqueror books do this with eye colours — Chagatai, Ogedai, and Tolui all have the same golden eyes as their father, Genghis Khan, but Jochi, the eldest brother, has brown eyes. The fact that Borte fell pregnant with him around the time of her kidnapping doesn't help matters, and Chagatai takes great pleasure in telling everybody that Jochi is a 'Tartar bastard'. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Reynir is a strange inversion since he is the only one of five siblings who is actually genetically related to both his parents. He is the youngest of five children and is a green-eyed redhead (like his father) where his four siblings are blue-eyed and dark-haired. His siblings are proto-Designer Babies, created from ova and sperm taken from donors immune to The Plague, whereas he was unplanned and natural (when he is depressed, he describes himself as "a mistake"). While Reynir has no doubt that his family loves him, he resents that he isn't immune, and therefore can't do a lot of things his older siblings can. Reynir's siblings, meanwhile, play with that trope in their own way (standard consequences, non-standard cause) due to their dark hair being something a natural child of their parents couldn't possibly have. For the record, their mother is blonde in addition to their father having the redhead features he transmitted to Reynir. |

The origin story of TJ in Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher. His white biological mother gave birth to a mixed-race baby (TJ) after cheating on her white boyfriend with a guy who was mixed black and Japanese. Her boyfriend left her and she ultimately placed the baby for adoption. He's raised by two white adoptive parents in an almost entirely white community and confronts a number of racial issues during the story. Much later in the novel, TJ tracks down the biological son of his adoptive father and proclaims 'I think we have the same father', much to the guy's surprise. | |

Subverted in the RWBY one-shot To Claim a Rose. Ruby's half-sister Yang looks like their dad, but Ruby is black-haired rather than blond. Kids at school tease Ruby over being one of these, with her black-haired (non-biological) uncle being her alleged father. However, it turns out Ruby just takes after her mother Summer (which explains her sharing Summer's silver eyes). Qrow did love Summer, but she only had eyes for Taiyang. | |

The Rishans in Alien Dice were originally a slave race. A generation after their creation and after public breeding was allowed, unexplained instances among the Rishans involved unusual skin color, some being pink, tan, red, yellow, and black. This clued off the Galactic Consol that they weren't genetic constructs as the slave traders selling them claimed, and were really genetically engineered humans. | |

Tromeo and Juliet: Tromeo's father Monty is black, while he's clearly white without any signs of being mixed race. It turns out Monty was just so naive he bought Tromeo as his biological son. Tromeo was just too dim to notice the disparity in Monty being black later. It turns out that his birth father is Capulet. | |

Lucifer and Amenadiel are often met with strange looks when they tell people that they're brothers as Lucifer is a white man with an English accent while Amenadiel is African-American. Amenadiel tells Chloe they're adopted to explain the differences between them in a way she can understand. When their other Angelic siblings are introduced they're played by actors of multiple races, as Celestial beings really don't need to conform to human racial expectations. | |

On Arrested Development, Michael meets a white and black gay couple who gave their sperm to a white woman who would act as a surrogate for them. They say they mixed sperm from each of them together because they don't want to know which of them is the father. Michael looks at them incredulously, obviously thinking that the presence or absence of this trope, when the time comes, will give it away. | |

There's a Power Rangers fanfic out there that applies this to the Master Vile (dad, humanoid alien) Rita Repulsa (daughter, human alien) and Rito Revolto (son, talking skeleton) family. Rita apparently takes after her (never seen) mother, while Rito bears an uncanny resemblance to his parents' former butler. Of course, the real reason is Related in the Adaptation. | |

King of the Hill: Joseph Gribble's obvious parentage and his supposed father’s obliviousness to it is one of the series' longest-running jokes. His (white) mother, Nancy Hicks-Gribble, was cheating on her (white) husband Dale Gribble with her (Native American) "massage therapist" John Redcorn for 14 years, starting shortly after her marriage to Dale. Joseph not only has clearly Native features, he’s the spitting image of John Redcorn (especially after he hits his growth spurt). Dale, usually an overly-suspicious nut, is completely oblivious to the affair. When Peggy learns of the affair (one of the last people to do so, told by Hank, who thought she knew all along but was staying out of it like everyone else), she mentions Nancy claiming that Dale's grandmother was Jamaican. His conspiracy theorizing eventually kicked in for his son, so now he "knows" that his son is... an alien!!! Born by impregnating Nancy with stolen sperm. Stolen from Dale. On another occasion, he finally realizes that Joseph looks different, and has a psychic dream where he sees an Indian man having sex with Nancy. His conclusion? It is sometimes implied he does know but comes up with ridiculous conspiracies to explain the difference because he loves his wife and son so much. But it eventually becomes a moot point when Hank helps Dale realize that, "alien" or no, he is Joseph's father in all the ways that matter, and later Dale and Nancy rekindle their marriage, causing her to end her affair with John. |

Elden Ring doesn't draw attention to it, but Praetor Rykard had blonde hair prior to his horrific transformation, even though his father Radagon was a redhead, his mother Rennala a brunette, and both his siblings inherited Radagon's red locks. This is most likely not a case of cheating, however, but rather him having inherited the famously golden hair of his father's "other self", the God-Queen Marika. | |

The White Lotus: It's implied, but never confirmed, that the Sullivans' eldest child is not Cameron's. Cameron has darker coloring, while the child is blonde and blue-eyed like Daphne. Not genetically implausible, but Daphne also hints that she's having an affair with her hunky, blond, and blue-eyed personal trainer in the same scene she shows Harper a picture of the child. It's yet another element to the complexity of the Sullivans' dysfunctional but affectionate marriage. | |

It's then quickly revealed that not only is Chid's real father actually Allen but that the Duke of Fried knows this despite his vocal insistence that Chid is his own son. | |

The real fathernote whose identity is clear to those who have read the preceding stories turns out to be Myr of the North, the half-fey court mage, and him parenting the child was a part of a plan to increase the amount of magical power available to the court. | |

Inspector George Gently: Zigzagged in "Gently in the Blood"; the Victim of the Week is a single mother with a dark-skinned baby, whose parents and whose long-time boyfriend both abandoned her when she gave birth to the boy, despite her insistence on having been faithful to her boyfriend. Attempting to ascertain the identity of the father forms a major part of the investigation. It ultimately turns out that the baby's father really was her boyfriend; he was actually a half-Arab who was born with white features, and whose mother was killed by a firebomb sent by racist neighbours when he was a little baby. This caused him to be taken in by his only slightly less racist aunt, who brought him up actively lying about his father's true ethnicity, hoping that he would have an easier life if he could successfully believe himself to be white as well as pass as it. | |

In an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob becomes convinced that their baby Richie somehow became switched with someone else's baby at the hospital. He contacts the other people and invites them to their house to discuss the issue. When they come in, they're a black couple with a black kid ... and they think it's pretty funny. So did the audience; they laughed so long and hard that the normally single-take scenes featured a very noticeable cut where the audience's reaction suddenly drops off. They tried re-shooting, but once the big reveal was out, the follow-ups just weren't as significant. |

Played with in the Furry Basketball Association: Bruce Bounder's mother is a hare, and when she got pregnant by one of her many boyfriends, she gets married to the suspected father, who is a rabbit. When Bruce is born, he's a pure hare, which means his mother got married to the wrong guy. His father is not pleased and never forgives Bruce for it, going so far as refusing to allow Bruce to use his patronymic. Bruce refuses to put his girlfriend's kids through the same thing and is a dad to both of them, even though he knows one isn't his for similar reasons. | |

My Name Is Earl: Joy's second child, Earl Jr., was black, despite Joy and Earl both being white (Joy's first child Dodge was conceived before they met so he was always treated as not being Earl's biological son). Earl was too shocked at first to really get upset and Joy tried to explain that Earl might have had a "repressed Black gene" in his lineage from his great-grandmother. Earl doesn't really believe it and asks the doctor to confirm his suspicions (which the doctor does, in no uncertain terms.) A later episode had Joy explain to her parents that Earl Jr. was 'reverse albinism' "You know how two black people can have an albino child..." The trope was then sent up in the cliffhanger of the final episode when everyone thinking that Earl Jr. was Darnell's child, a DNA test reveals he's not the father either. And in a twist of fate, it turned out Earl was the father of Dodge, conceived at a Halloween party (wearing a costume and mask) and Earl was blind drunk. |

On The Practice, a woman was accused of murdering her husband. Her neighbor alibied her, and she was acquitted. This trope comes in because the woman was nine months pregnant, insisted on going through the trial even when she was in labor, and would not take a plea deal. She was white, as was her dead husband. The neighbor who alibied her was African-American. The acquittal happened just before she was rushed to the hospital... where she delivered a dark-skinned baby. | |

Call the Midwife: In Series 1 there's a classic case with the heartwarming twist that the husband accepts what happened and dotes on his newborn son even though the kid couldn't be any more obviously unrelated to him. (The husband was in his 50s and it was a second marriage for both of them; he had lost his first wife to cancer and never had any children, so he was simply happy to be a father.) Played straight in a Series 3 episode where a mother knows her child's biological father is not her husband but a black man with whom she had an affair. She eventually informs the Nonnatans of this and advises them of her intent to have the baby away from home, where she can adopt it out while making up some story of having lost the baby. The midwives Call-Back to the Series 1 case, at which one of the more experienced midwives advises that this mother's husband was not the sweetheart of the one prior. And indeed, when she is forced to give birth at home, her husband finds out and is angry. The only part of the original plan that goes through as intended is that the baby is put up for adoption. To make matters worse, the traumatised woman then still had to lie to her neighbours that the baby was stillborn, even though the person she most wanted to keep in the dark—her husband—knows this is a lie. |

Can be done accidentally with the Human Noble in Dragon Age: Origins. Most of the origins have at least one unseen parent who the Player Character might conceivably take after note the only other exception is the City Elf, whose Missing Mom makes a cameo in DLC, and is relatively dark-skinned, making darker City Elf players as plausible as lighter ones, since their father is white. Bryce and Eleanor Cousland, however, are both quite pale, leading to some incongruity if their child has one of the darker skin tones available in character creation. The second game changes the Player Character's family to match them to avoid this. | |

In the Pathfinder classic Adventure Path "Rise of the Runelords", Tsuto Kaijitsu is kind of the Black Sheep of his family — in a family of Humans, he's a Half-Elf. The dramatic part is that he is REALLY the biological son of his parents: Both of them have a little bit of elven blood from distant ancestors, and it just happened to manifest here. But nobody really knew it. |

In Batman Beyond Mary and Warren McGinnis, both redheads, have two black-haired sons. A popular fan theory is that this is the reason for their divorce. An odd example, because while he is the father, "Epilogue," an episode of Justice League Unlimited, reveals that Warren McGinnis's reproductive DNA was overwritten with Bruce Wayne's without anybody's knowledge in an attempt to produce another Batman, making Terry and Matt Bruce's genetic sons, despite their being conceived by Warren. This wasn't initially intended, the writers came up with the idea after someone realized the genetic impossibility. | |

In Sensual Phrase, this is the backstory of Sakuya. His mother was raped by a white man, so when she found out she was pregnant, she decided to wait to see what the baby looked like. If it looked like her husband, she'd keep it; if not, she'd give it up for adoption and lie that it was stillborn. The baby came out Asian, so she called her husband to come away from his work overseas... but when the baby opened his eyes, they were blue. Since she didn't want to tell her husband about the rape, he thought she had cheated on him, and threw her out. | |

New Tricks: Plays a role in the solution to "The Curate's Egg". A Polish woman had an affair with the black son of The Vicar. When she became pregnant, she married her boyfriend, hoping the baby would be white and she could claim it was his. The baby was not white. | |

In one of the Something*Positive 1930s strips (this one, to be exact), where black midwife Hetty is delivering a white girl's illegitimate baby, and the girl's parents freak out when it's a black child, blaming her for "getting the black all over that baby" when she delivered it. As she replied: "Woman, I pull 'em out. I don't put 'em in." | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones: King Robert Baratheon, his brothers, his forefathers, and even his bastard children all have dark hair. All three of his children by his wife Cersei Lannister are blond, as they were fathered by Cersei's twin brother Jaime. Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows this but Robert, who died with his best friend deciding to spare him the knowledge of it so he may die peacefully. In an extreme case of denial, Cersei and Jaime's father Lord Tywin spends three and a half seasons ignorant of the incestuous inverse implications (that ALL his grandchildren are blond, and not diverse as they might be if Cersei were taking on multiple 'surrogate fathers'), until Cersei shouts it in his face. House of the Dragon: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's husband Ser Laenor Velaryon is half-black and, like her, has the trademark Valyrian white hair. Their three sons are all fair and brunet.note Meanwhile, the children of Laenor's sister Laena with Rhaenyra's uncle Daemon, a similar phenotypic match, are both brown-skinned and white-haired. Rhaenyra's sons were actually fathered by Harwin Strong, a knight frequently seen in her company, and the court goes wild with these rumors until Rhaenyra's father King Viserys makes it a punishable offense to speak of them. This further worsens the tension between Rhaenyra and her stepmother Alicent, who views Rhaenyra's open flaunting of her infidelity as an insult and a danger to the stability of the realm. Rhaenyra later clarifies that she and Laenor did give it the old college try a few times, but since he's gay, it wasn't very successful. However, Rhaenyra was the crown princess of the Seven Kingdoms and still needed heirs. For his part, Laenor publicly claimed the boys as his sons and was an affectionate father figure to them. Given Laenor's sexuality and Rhaenyra's knowledge and acceptance of it, they had agreed at the onset of their engagement that both of them would be able to have their own paramours. |

The Sims: Usually averted, but a rare bug can cause this in The Sims 2 (responsible for The Strangerhood above) even if you've ensured the skin color of both parents, supervised the... conception... and played that family to full term. Another possible cause is user-made custom skin tones that have been modified to abide by the game's genetics system but were assigned weird values. The Sims 3 is a little better at mixing genes of parents together, since it operates on either-or range sliders rather than an either-or default skin tone assignment. Meaning, two parents of the same range slider can have a child that is the average of slide values on that same slider. Hair color, however, operates on a Lamarck Was Right basis. And is also prone to weird bugs. |

In Max Payne 3, during the chapter in the football stadium you can stop to watch TV. One of the fictional shows is Amor e Damas, a parody of Brazilian telenovelas in which the shocking reveal is the pregnant woman, after getting into a fight with her husband's mistress and going into labor, giving birth to a curupira (a creature from Brazilian folklore with ginger hair and backwards feet). | |

Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Abel is revealed to be an extremely complicated version of this in his side comic. Specifically, Abel is born with wings, something that is not at all unheard of in the setting but is unusual and indicates that his parents couldn't really have had them. He and his mom receive large amounts of flack over this from everyone but his father steadfastly believes that she was faithful. As part of The Reveal, Abel finds out that his dad is a shapeshifter who killed his mom's real husband and has been impersonating him since before Abel was born. Abel's wings and other oddities are part of his race's Shapeshifter Default Form. It's also heavily insinuated that this is the case with Devin since his father took one look at him and walked out the door. This has naturally led to rampant speculation among fans. |

The Wicked Years: Subverted in Wicked. Elphaba's green skin is a testament to her father not being her mother's husband (although in this case potions, rather than genetics, are to blame). Her mother was raped by a traveler when the potion he gave her knocked her out. Elphaba's father Frexspar never doubted Elphaba's parentage; he blames her skin on his failure as a preacher. Elphaba's younger sister Nessarose is either the daughter of Melena and her white husband Frexspar or her lover Turtle Heart. It's impossible to tell, though her light skin and hair point towards Frexspar. The family tree in A Lion Among Men confirmed that Frex is her biological father. |

In Naruto Gaiden, Sasuke's daughter, Sarada, comes to doubt being the daughter of Sakura when she realizes that neither of her parents wears glasses while she does. Adding to her suspicion is her mother's inability to answer basic questions and her discovery of an old picture of her father with Karin, who does wear glasses. Turns out that it's a Red Herring, and Sakura was indeed Sarada's biological mother all along. | |

Discussed and subverted in Kedabory's Muppet Mania. In Episode 3, Wayne and Wanda perform a family number with a little boy named Nicholas, who doesn't look anything like them (his red hair, for instance, when Wayne and Wanda both have black hair). Statler and Waldorf even crack jokes about this. However, when they go backstage, it's revealed that they "borrowed" Nicholas for the act; Nicky's real father is the Swedish Chef, who is not pleased with them taking his kid without him knowing about it. | |

At first, she is sure it is a mistake as she would have remembered sleeping with a black man, then she DOES figure it out evidently she was raped by an unseen assailant.

In the Black Mirror episode "White Christmas", a white couple breaks up because she becomes pregnant and wants to have an abortion over his objections. In this world, however, a break-up can involve being "blocked", which means they can neither see nor hear each other, appearing only as outlines on each other's Augmented Reality eye implants. Seeing her outline is enough for him to realize she hadn't gone through with the abortion, and to know when she's had the baby (who is similarly blocked). He watches the child grow up for years, embittered that he was being kept from his own daughter. Eventually, the mother dies, lifting the block, and when he actually sees the girl for the first time, it's obvious one of her parents was East Asian. | |

Glee: Caucasian Rachel mentions having two dads, one white, one black, and that they mixed up their sperm before handing it over so that they wouldn't know who actually sired her. It might seem obvious that it would be the white dad, but when her parents are finally cast, the black one is played by the light-skinned, mixed-race Brian Stokes Mitchell, making it entirely possible that he could be her biological father (especially given Lea Michele's Mediterranean features). Referenced when seemingly pregnant, white Terri talks to her sister. Probably an Actor Allusion — the actress who plays Terri also played Gina in the Nip/Tuck example and both shows were created by Ryan Murphy. |

In the Season 8 Law & Order episode "Blood", a baby is given up for adoption by her parents. When detectives find the baby, they discover that she's visibly black, leading them to suspect an affair, but they ultimately realize that the father is actually African-American himself, but so light-skinned that he's been passing for white his entire life. The man's social-climbing ex-wife killed the second wife, who was trying to reclaim the baby, to keep the secret from getting out so that she wouldn't have to live with the social stigma of having been married to a black man and having borne a son by him. Whew.note A bit for Artistic License – Biology here — while two mixed-race parents can definitely have a baby darker than either of them, the new wife here was Swedish. | |

The song by Mecano Hijo de la Luna tells the sad story of a Gypsy woman who prays to the moon for a husband. The moon says she will have a Gypsy husband, but that she must sacrifice her firstborn child to the moon. When the child is born, it is entirely white, like an albino - not cinnamon-colored like either of its parents. The father thinks he has been tricked, and stabs his wife to death, and abandons the baby on the hillside. The moon happily adopts the baby. | |

Nip/Tuck: Gina claims that the baby she is carrying is Christian's from their one-night stand. Big shock when the baby (Wilbur) is born and he is black. Very black. Gina, as a sex addict, has had countless different partners, to the point that she actually doesn't remember the encounter (similar to blackout drinking). It evolves into a protracted legal battle when Christian wants to be a father to the boy anyway, but Gina doesn't want to share custody with him (since Christian is not the biological father). She is able to track down the biological father to help her. However, after seeing that Gina is a poor mother, the father decides to ally with Christian so they can have Gina declared unfit as a parent. The father, who is a middle-aged, married man whose older kids have already moved out, admits that while he regrets the affair, double-crosses Christian, and he and his wife decide to raise the child by themselves. The judge ultimately accords them custody and cuts out both Gina and Christian. However, two years later, the couple die in a car crash, and in their will leave Christian with sole custody, as, despite his numerous character flaws, he was a devoted father. | |

In the book version of The Help it's revealed that Constantine, an old maid that raised Skeeter, was half-white and half-black. Thus when she gave birth to a white child, she eventually had to abandon her, because people kept assuming she'd either kidnapped her or was just the babysitter. Years later, the child returns and completely upsets people when they realize the truth. | |

In Xenogears, Elly believes herself to be this, being a purple-eyed redhead with two blond, blue-eyed parents and is convinced that her father's wife is not her real mother, and believes she's actually the daughter of her childhood nanny, a "Lamb" (surface dweller) woman. Her parents themselves never seem to think twice about her being their daughter, and in the end, it turns out to be because Elly is the Reincarnation of Elhaym, one of the first humans on the planet, and looks the same in every incarnation regardless of her parents. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The main novels have a 'vanilla baby' variant. King Robert Baratheon has black hair. His wife Queen Cersei is blonde, as are all three of their children. Nobody initially thinks anything of it, since there's nothing particularly strange about children resembling their mother. On closer investigation, however, all of Robert's illegitimate children have black hair. Furthermore, throughout history, every time a black-haired Baratheon fathered a child from a blond woman, the baby had black hair. This is used as proof that the royal kids aren't his. They were fathered by the queen's twin brother Jaime. Fire & Blood: Rhaenyra Targaryen and her first husband Laenor Velaryon both had the Valyrian phenotype: fair skin, platinum blonde hair, aquiline features, and purple eyes. All three of the sons Rhaenyra bore during their marriage turned out brunet, brown-eyed, and pug-faced, which fueled rumors that they were fathered by Rhaenyra's sworn shield Harwin Strong. Laenor was also suggested to be homosexual, so he wasn't doing much fathering. Though there was a slight possibility that they could have inherited dark hair from Laenor's mother Rhaenys, who had the same hair color as her Baratheon mother. However this is a case where the legal father of the boys, Laenor, didn't care one whit and he loved them anyway. The only person who was upset about it was Rhaenyra's stepmother, Queen Consort Alicent Hightower. |

In the US version of Shameless, Liam Gallagher is a very dark-skinned baby. Everyone assumes that the mother had sex with a black man during one of her drunken episodes. Frank Gallagher treats the baby with the same care (or lack thereof) as his other children and it's never an issue for anyone. When tests are finally done, it is revealed that Frank is actually the father, thus subverting the trope. His grandmother supposedly had an affair with a black man. | |

In-universe in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, The Handmaiden is this to other Echani, since her species has little genetic variation so full-blooded same-sex siblings look like identical twins. She takes after her non-Echani mother, a Jedi named Arren Kae, who is strongly implied to be Kreia, who was not married to her father. This makes her stand out like a sore thumb next to her full-blooded Echani half-sisters, even though the game itself uses the same model for all of them. When questioned about this by the player character The Handmaiden expresses surprise since non-Echani rarely tend to notice the difference. | |

There are some ponies who've accused Princess Cadance of infidelity since she's an alicorn, her husband is a unicorn, and her alicorn daughter Flurry Heart has proportionately greater pegasus traits than any of the others. The real reason for this, which isn't widely known, is that Cadance was born a pegasus before becoming an alicorn. | |

Bequeathed from Pale Estates: Just as in canon, Cersei's children. However, the person who reveals this isn't Stannis Baratheon (who is dead in this Alternate Universe Fic), but Original Character Gwyn Parren. Gwyn knows this because House Parren is directly descended from the youngest son of Orys Baratheon. Every single one of his male descendants has intermarried with the Lannisters (either of Casterly Rock or Lannisport), and every single one of the progeny of those unions was of black hair and blue eyes like the Baratheons, until Gwyn herself was born (and that was after ten generations of Lannister marriages, meaning she has more Lannister blood in her than the Lannisters themselves do). Even then, her full figure and other features clearly denote her of Baratheon descent. It's through her own family history, complete with a family song that sheds light on this, that Gwyn realizes that Cersei's "trueborn" children cannot be Robert's. | |

The Queen of Hearts revolves around Elsa trying to figure out if she's really Anna's full sister or not. Since they were children, rumors have existed that Elsa was an illegitimate heir to the king. The rumors say that the king and queen couldn't conceive so they asked a mountain man, with little connection to humans, to impregnate Queen Matilda. Elsa and Anna never questioned their heritage, however after hearing of the rumors Elsa starts thinking twice about her parentage. Anna is the spitting image of their father, while Elsa doesn't look like him at all. They later find letters that make it seem like the king of Corona might be Elsa's father. It turns out that a man named Daniel Kristiansen is Elsa's biological father. Surprisingly, they also have a half-brother they didn't know of: Hans, who was a Child by Rape. Only Hans' oldest brothers know that he is their half-brother. | |

Game of Thrones: King Robert Baratheon, his brothers, his forefathers, and even his bastard children all have dark hair. All three of his children by his wife Cersei Lannister are blond, as they were fathered by Cersei's twin brother Jaime. Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows this but Robert, who died with his best friend deciding to spare him the knowledge of it so he may die peacefully. In an extreme case of denial, Cersei and Jaime's father Lord Tywin spends three and a half seasons ignorant of the incestuous inverse implications (that ALL his grandchildren are blond, and not diverse as they might be if Cersei were taking on multiple 'surrogate fathers'), until Cersei shouts it in his face. |

Modern Family: Cam and Mitch were debating having a second child via surrogacy but didn't want one father to be more connected to the child than the other. They consider mixing the sample based on a suggestion from one of their friends but reject it when they see the resulting child is Mexican (though we don't know the race of the biological mother, so her genes could obviously be throwing off the results, and the child's fathers don't seem to care either way). Interestingly enough, Cam and Mitch are both white, so they shouldn't be too concerned about their child's features revealing paternity. But they ultimately decide that they have enough of a connection with their adopted daughter Lily that they don't need to conceive a child of their own to feel a connection. Sal shows up at Cam and Mitch's wedding. Despite looking hugely pregnant, she claims to be only four months along, which is the exact time she has been with Eddie, her new boyfriend/alleged baby daddy. She goes into labor right when she is to give a toast. As she and Eddie leave for the hospital, Sal gives him a warning: |

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs: Leon's father Balcus is dark-haired and all of his children with Luce inherited this trait. Meanwhile, Zola's children Rutart and Merce are blonde like her, hinting that they have no blood ties to Leon's family, which is eventually confirmed by Zola herself when she admits in a fit of rage that they were born from her affairs. This results in all of them being stripped of their noble titles and privileges. | |

In Living Color! had a recurring skit called "The Dysfunctional Home Show". One episode featured the wedding of the pregnant (white) daughter and her black groom. During the ceremony, she goes into labor and gives birth to a white baby. When the angry groom demands to know why the baby is white, every white man — including the priest — bolts from the room. | |

In The Thorn Birds, Father Ralph notices that the oldest Cleary son Frank has black eyes, which is all but impossible given that his mother Fee has gray eyes while his father Paddy has blue. During an argument, Paddy blurts out that Frank is the result of Fee's affair with a married Maori politician who abandoned her after she got pregnant. Ralph realizes he must have suspected this all along, as not only does Frank's eye color not match his parents or siblings, neither does his stature or coloring — short instead of tall and dark, rather than fair. In the author's final novel Bittersweet, snide comments to this effect ("a slap of the tar brush") are made regarding youngest sister Kitty, as she has a darker skin tone than the others. Her mother turns a deaf ear to this, as despite her many flaws, she has not been unfaithful to her husband, but is still too snobbish and in denial to admit that either she or her husband likely has a trace of Aboriginal heritage. |

House of the Dragon: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's husband Ser Laenor Velaryon is half-black and, like her, has the trademark Valyrian white hair. Their three sons are all fair and brunet.note Meanwhile, the children of Laenor's sister Laena with Rhaenyra's uncle Daemon, a similar phenotypic match, are both brown-skinned and white-haired. Rhaenyra's sons were actually fathered by Harwin Strong, a knight frequently seen in her company, and the court goes wild with these rumors until Rhaenyra's father King Viserys makes it a punishable offense to speak of them. This further worsens the tension between Rhaenyra and her stepmother Alicent, who views Rhaenyra's open flaunting of her infidelity as an insult and a danger to the stability of the realm. Rhaenyra later clarifies that she and Laenor did give it the old college try a few times, but since he's gay, it wasn't very successful. However, Rhaenyra was the crown princess of the Seven Kingdoms and still needed heirs. For his part, Laenor publicly claimed the boys as his sons and was an affectionate father figure to them. Given Laenor's sexuality and Rhaenyra's knowledge and acceptance of it, they had agreed at the onset of their engagement that both of them would be able to have their own paramours. | |

RWBY: Scars: Ruby and Yang are the daughters of Taiyang through different mothers. Yang takes after their blond father, but Ruby is black and red-haired. It's assumed she just really takes after her mother. In this case, she really isn't Taiyang's. She's the biological daughter of her Honorary Uncle, Qrow. Tai knows that he's not the father, because Qrow and Summer were a couple that broke up, but no one else outside the trio (and Qrow's sister/Yang's mother Raven, their old team's fourth member) know about the Family Relationship Switcheroo. | |

In the miniseries adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, society wife DeDe has cheated on her husband, Beauchamp, with a Chinese grocery boy — and gotten pregnant. Though she goes to great lengths to keep the secret, she breaks down and confesses to a friend during a visit to an art gallery that she's got good reason to fear that the betrayal will be obvious once everyone sees the baby. The friend assumes this means the baby will be brown, but DeDe, increasingly upset, says no, it won't be brown. When the friend asks what color the baby will be, DeDe, now too upset to speak, points at a nearby painting — a solid yellow canvas. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Cup Cake (earth pony) gives birth to a unicorn and a pegasus. Her husband Carrot Cake (also earth pony) gives an explanation involving far-back genetics and a relative who isn't even related by blood. Once he finishes the explanation he gives the audience a nervous Aside Glance and says, "That makes sense, right?" That said, his unicorn daughter Pumpkin Cake does share his color scheme (same color mane and fur), and neither of them bears much resemblance to their mother either. And something like what Carrot described must have been going on in order for both of those pony types to have arisen even if Cup had cheated on Carrot with either a unicorn or a pegasus, as all the alicorns known to exist are female. | |

As a doctor, she's able to identify (despite the child being recently born) that the father was black, and strongly suspects it might have been why the child was abandoned, the setting of the novel being the mid-18th century. | |

Like Water for Chocolate: Toyed with; Tita's Fiery Redhead sister Gertrudis runs off with a Revolutionary soldier named Juan... and their firstborn son is dark-skinned which neither of his parents is, so Juan believes Gertrudis is cheating on him. Tita clears this up by showing him some letters that explain the truth: Gertrudis's biological father is José Treviño, whom Mama Elena wasn't allowed to marry because he is of mixed race, and had a years-long affair with instead. Therefore the "chocolate baby" looks like his maternal grandfather rather than either of his parents—save for his blue-green eyes, inherited from Gertrudis. | |

A recurring sketch on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In involved the Farkel Family — a huge family of rhymingly named red-headed, glasses-wearing children belonging to the dark-haired Fanny Farkel and her oblivious, equally dark-haired husband Frank (Jo Anne Worley and Dan Rowan). The entire family is introduced to visitors one after another along with their trusted friend and neighbor, the red-headed, glasses-wearing Fred (Dick Martin), who compliments Frank on his "fine-looking family." The Farkel family almost always included twins Simon and Gar Farkel, one of whom was black and the other white. They were always of the same sex, although whether they were male or female depended on available cast members and guest stars, suggesting that they were also supposed to be identical twins. |

This American Life had an episode called Slow To React, which featured a mixed-race man who had been born to a white girl who got pregnant in high school, she quickly married her white boyfriend, never mentioning that she'd also been sleeping with a black classmate. When the baby was born, he seemed light-skinned enough that she figured she was in the clear. Over the next few months, his skin darkened, but by then, everyone was used to thinking of him as white. Even when it became painfully obvious, no one wanted to say it out loud. He was in college before he really admitted to himself that he was part black. | |

Played straight in a Series 3 episode where a mother knows her child's biological father is not her husband but a black man with whom she had an affair. She eventually informs the Nonnatans of this and advises them of her intent to have the baby away from home, where she can adopt it out while making up some story of having lost the baby. The midwives Call-Back to the Series 1 case, at which one of the more experienced midwives advises that this mother's husband was not the sweetheart of the one prior. And indeed, when she is forced to give birth at home, her husband finds out and is angry. The only part of the original plan that goes through as intended is that the baby is put up for adoption. To make matters worse, the traumatised woman then still had to lie to her neighbours that the baby was stillborn, even though the person she most wanted to keep in the dark—her husband—knows this is a lie. | |

Played realistically on an episode of ER where Benton, while working in Louisiana as a small-town doctor to make some extra money, ends up caring for a near-term teenage girl. Her father's racist attitude clues Benton into the possibility that the baby will be mixed-race, in which case, the girl and child might both be in danger. The baby is white when it's born, to the angry relief of the girl's father, but then Benton warns the girl and her mother that it's not always so obvious at first. He arranges for the girl and her newborn daughter to spend a few days in town by claiming the baby is jaundiced (which the grandfather accepts) so that if the baby's skin begins to darken, they'll be safe. It turns out the baby is white, after all, and he sends them home. | |

Zagreus of Hades bleeds blood instead of ichor, suggesting he has mortal heritage. Since both Hades and Nyx both predate the existence of mortals, this has led to some doubts as to his parentage. Achilles writes in the codex that such doubts could be easily resolved just by looking at him, as he's a very obviously a Patchwork Kid of Hades and Persephone, the latter of whom is Semi-Divine in this iteration. | |

The Rigel Black Chronicles: Narcissa Black's blonde hair was a big surprise to her parents, and almost triggered a duel between Cygnus Black and Abraxas Malfoy, but Cygnus calmed down upon recognising that she had exactly his nose, and a potion was later able to confirm her paternity. Unfortunately, by the time he decided to acknowledge her, he had already (in his indignation) named her after a flower, instead of the Black tradition of naming her in the light of a star, and so she was unable to use any of the family's Star Light heirlooms. | |

Normally, the child looks and acts very similar to their parent, just like the real world. However, when Queen Jillian of Faq pops a son, he looks and acts quite a lot like the Transylvitan warlord who Jillian has been sleeping with. He even has the flight special, which is very rare for warlords out of Transylvito. | |

Warrior Cats: Even before it was revealed that Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze are the kittens of Leafpool and Crowfeather, everyone already knew it. None of them look anything like Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, except for the eye color of both Squirrelflight and Hollyleaf. Squirrelflight is a dark ginger cat with green eyes. Brambleclaw is a brown cat with amber eyes. Jayfeather is a gray cat with blue eyes, Hollyleaf is a black cat with green eyes, and Lionblaze is a golden brown cat with amber eyes. Crowfeather is a black/gray cat with blue eyes. Leafpool is a brown cat with amber eyes. Three guesses who Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze's real parents are... There are also Oakheart and Crookedstar. They're both brown, and their parents, Shellheart and Rainflower, are gray. |

Skin 2008 is based on the true story of Sandra Laing, a dark-skinned girl born to white South African parents during apartheid. The film makes the point that both black and white South Africans usually have more mixed heritage than they usually admit, making racial classification far from simple. Interestingly, her father is never portrayed as questioning whether she's his daughter, but essentially disowns her when she marries a black man. | |

Sometimes invoked in the comments section of Lasercorn's videos that feature his son Tyler aka "Babycorn." Tyler is biracial, and while the vast majority of viewers love him to pieces and are happy enough to see him when he appears, occasionally a commenter will ask if he's adopted or why he doesn't look like Lasercorn. One went as far as to say "Dude I hope your girlfriend is black." Lasercorn's wife is indeed black, and their son naturally has a skin tone that's about halfway between both parents. A biracial child generally won't resemble either parent at first glance since their makeup combines wildly different genes, but yes, Babycorn is Lasercorn's biological son. | |

The Confessions of Frannie Langton: Marguerite became pregnant from a tryst she had with Ouladuh. As she's white, and he's black, with her husband also being white, she's well aware this being publicly known would ruin her. Since he doesn't want this revealed any more than she does, her husband arranged for Frannie (who's also black) to raise the baby off in the country. However, she miscarries, making all this moot. | |

In Fire Emblem: Awakening Lissa feared she was this since she didn't have the Brand of the Exalt anywhere on her body like her brother and sister did. Her Kid from the Future Owain does have the Brand, proving she really was a member of the royal family. It's further confirmed in Fire Emblem Fates, where Owain/Odin's daughter Ophelia also has the Brand (and if Shigure or a male Kana are fathered by Owain/Odin, they also have it on them). | |

Half's Saga: In her husband's absence, Queen Hagny of Hordaland gives birth to the twin boys Hamund and Geirmund who turn out to be "black and strikingly ugly". Afraid of her husband's reaction, Hagny swaps the boys with the pretty newborn son of a serving woman. After the switch has been discovered and reversed three years later, their father King Hjor finally accepts his sons, although he gives them the shared nickname Heljarskinn (Hel-skin) on account of their blackness. No explanation is offered for the twins' looks, suggesting that their dark skin is simply a freak of nature. | |

The Bold and the Beautiful put a twist on a standard "Who's The Daddy" storyline after Amber drunkenly slept with both Caucasian boyfriend Rick and African-American best friend Raymond at separate intervals. She grew more and more terrified as her due date approached, knowing that if Raymond turned out to be the father, it would be very obvious. Ironically, it turned out Rick was the father after all. | |

One of the sidequests of Cyberpunk 2077 has you see if a bartender's wife is cheating on him. One of his main pieces of evidence is this trope. As it turns out, the wife isn't cheating and the kid is his. She had a full-body cyber conversion done before she met him and so looks nothing like her original self, but as she puts it, "You can't change your genes." | |

Kovu isn't Scar's son, however Scar seemingly doesn't realize this due to their strong resemblance. |

How I Met Your Mother: Barney's mother never married, and is implied to have been fairly... outgoing in her fertile years, resulting in Barney being white and his half-brother, James, being black. When Mrs. Stinson gives her two sons a name, "Sam," and an address, the two brothers naturally go on a quest to meet one of their fathers. When they meet Sam, they discover he's black, meaning he's James's dad, not Barney's. Nevertheless, Barney fails (or rather refuses to accept) making the connection and assumes Sam is his father, too. In the episode James is introduced, "Single Stamina", Barney's friends tell Robin that James is exactly like him, except gay. They don't bother to mention he's also black. | |

Waynetta Slob in Harry Enfield and Chums feels that she's failing to keep up with the other families in the neighbourhood as she lacks a 'Brown Baby'. So Wayne gets one for her... Waynetta takes out a separation. Wayne then gets a black girlfriend (played by Naomi Campbell), who gives birth to a brown baby that the Slobs adopt after getting back together. In short, it's a very rare gender reversal example of this trope! | |

The Boazanian Caste System dictates that those with horns are allowed to be part of the aristocratic nobility and those without horns are meant to be slaves. For the record, the kid is his, but he declares that as a member of the royal family, a Hornless child would bring him shame. - Does This Remind You of Anything?

Possible in Crusader Kings II, though somewhat unlikely without player intervention (the ability to seduce other characters is limited by distance from a ruler's capital, and AI characters will usually refuse affairs with characters of other religions). A European woman may have an affair with an African, Bedouin, or Indian ruler and birth a child with her lover's graphical culture (the game having no way of simulating a mixed-race child). Due to Artificial Stupidity, the woman's husband may not notice. | |
