A phrase frequently said by one of a married couple (usually the wife) that already have at least one child, especially if they're in their 40s or late 30s, generally past the age most people want kids, but before that biological clock stops ticking. Saying this sentence (or saying "Let's have a baby" if they don't already have one) guarantees one of the following: Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) The marriage will be breaking up very quickly. Tonight, Someone Dies They'll agree to try to have another baby and: Be unable to conceive again They won't have another baby, but a big deal won't be made out of it. The desire to have another baby will probably never be mentioned in any other episode. Either way, "Let's have another baby" usually indicates that they won't be doing so. Compare Fatal Family Photo. See also Unspoken Plan Guarantee. Note that examples where they do end up having a baby are straight uses too. It also doesn't matter whether they already have one or not, despite the name of this trope. Beware of unmarked spoilers since this trope is often, but not always, used for foreshadowing of broken relationships or future deaths. |

Played with in an episode of Bones, wherein unmarried Brennan decides spur-of-the-moment that she wants a baby and wants Booth to be the father (via sperm donation). Keeping in line with this trope, it's revealed shortly after that Booth has a brain tumor and requires risky surgery. While he still agrees to go through with the donation and even requests that Brennan "use [his] stuff" if he dies in surgery, Brennan ultimately decides that it isn't the right time to have a child. | |

Played for laughs in The Simpsons. In the episode Blame It On Lisa, Lisa shows her parents a video of a Brazilian orphan she sponsors. Marge finds him so cute that she says she wants another kid. Homer refuses because he hasn't lost all the weight he gained with Maggie's birth. In the episode "What Animated Women Want", the school counselor gets fired and decides that she wants a baby. The episode Adventures In Baby-Getting uses this as the main plot: Marge wants to have another baby, but since Homer is sterile from working at the nuclear plant, they attempt to recover some sperm he'd previously had frozen, and wackiness ensues. Marge changes her mind after learning that he'd donated sperm in the past and there are lots of Homer-like children running around. (Why they never considered adoption is a mystery.) |

King of the Hill: Hank and Peggy get the urge to have another child after dealing the whole episode with Hank attempting to impregnate Ladybird. The next episode had Peggy failing over a dozen pregnancy tests because of Hank's narrow urethra resulting in a low sperm count, which is why Bobby is their only child. They give up afterwards. For a final, bitter twist of the knife, while they fail to have a baby, Hank's father Cotton impregnates his much-younger wife, leaving Hank and Peggy to watch those two become terrible parents to a beautiful baby they don't even want. | |

There's a rumor circulating in the Harry Potter fandom that, according to JK Rowling, at the time of their deaths, Lily and James were expecting another baby, and that Lily would ask her onetime best friend Severus Snape to be the godfather. Ironic, yes, poetic, yes, but a little too pat - it turns out God Never Said That. | |

Six Feet Under: Nate and Brenda. Granted, although it was complex and it took its while before the after-effect of this trope took effect. Nate, as a widower, already had a child from a previous marriage, but Brenda wanted her own baby. She got pregnant then miscarried the very day before their wedding. After that she got pregnant again but by then they had important marital issues, which only accelerated because of the upcoming child. They were on the verge of divorce, then Nate cheated on Brenda, and died from AVM before they could actually do anything about their relationship - though he seemed very intent on leaving her (Word Of God still states he would have come back to Brenda, had he lived). So BOTH the after-effects of the trope are represented here. The trope is actually lampshaded, since when he says to Brenda to get married and have a baby, a thunder sound is heard outside - bad omen ! He never got to see his second daughter. | |
