The canonical equivalent of a Kid Fic, in a way. In this trope, a baby or something like it is raised, who leaves by the end of the episode. It can happen when one character raises a child for an episode. This allows for a little Character Development in letting a character show his or her softer side. The character will often grow attached to the child. Another type will have two or more characters raise a child for an episode, letting it go after it matures by the end. It's a great way to add some Ship Tease, and quite often, some Ho Yay, as there's often the implications of a couple. Note that this isn't always the case, however; there's times when characters do this for different motives. Does This Remind You of Anything? is sometimes present, too. Can overlap with A Day in the Limelight and Baby Morph Episode. When it's only a simulation of a child it's called Egg Sitting. Compare Babysitting Episode. Contrast Children Raise You. See also Is That Cute Kid Yours?. |

This happens to Dani Beck and Olivia Benson a couple times on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In Dani's case she takes in an emotionally disturbed little girl who sets her apartment on fire in an attempt to ensure that Dani will never leave her, which shocks her so much that she asks for a transfer. In the Season 12 episode "Trophy", Olivia is suddenly given custody of the grandson of one of their rape victims. Several episodes later, however, his drug-addicted mother turns up again and has the boy taken from Olivia and custody transferred to his grandparents. | |

In Bleach episode 260, Kazeshini (Shuuhei's Zampaktou) finds a baby whose dying father asks him to take care of it. After growing attached to the kid, Kazeshini decides to leave him with a woman who wanted to take care of him. When they're attacked by a sword fiend (which, by the way, was the one who killed the baby's father), Kazeshini protects the kid with his own body, understanding why Shuuhei accepts to risk his life for others. After killing the sword fiend, he asks the woman to raise the kid, before leaving to fight his final battle with Shuuhei. | |

In the Castle episode "The Good, The Bad, and the Baby", Castle and Beckett have to parent the baby found at the crime scene while they try to locate his parents. An interesting case since Castle and Beckett were already together and Castle had experience raising Alexis, but the experience does give Beckett more confidence to possibly be a mom one day. | |

This happens in Akkan Baby, where Shigeru (pregnant) and Yuki are left in charge of Doorstop Baby, Puni. While they mean well, they're Maternally Challenged with a bit of stupidity, so they mess a lot of things up. After a stunt where they almost kill him, they agree to do better with Puni but that was when his mom shows up. After that, Shigeru thinks this trope with be the same with her and Yuki's child and her mother has to explain that taking care of a baby for a few days is different than raising a child for a years. | |

An episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh features Rabbit stumbling across an orphaned bluebird named Kessie and raising it himself. Of course she flies away by the end of the episode, after Rabbit softens from his usual persona. Kessie appears quite a bit since then, making an encore appearance in a later episode and being a recurring character in The Book of Pooh. | |

Total Drama Pahkitew Island had a weird example: in "Three Zones and a Baby," the contestants had to go through an obstacle course filled with deadly, sleeping animals while carrying babies, because Chris is a being of pure evil. Naturally the babies never got hurt, but the teenagers sure did while protecting them. Most of the contestants are happy when the legal department demands they give them up before the episode ends, but Max bonds with his little minion and actually gives back a fake at first. | |

In an episode of The Andy Griffith Show, Opie and his friend find a baby on the courthouse steps. Worried that it'll end up abused in an orphanage (because they've read Dickens novels), they try to hide it in the backyard and care for it while searching for a new family. Unfortunately, Opie searches for foster parents by knocking on doors and asking, "Would you like to have a baby?" This confuses the neighbors and leads Andy to think his son needs The Talk, which makes him very uncomfortable. Finally the parents show up, and it turns out that they had an argument, which almost caused a divorce, and the mother panicked about being a single mother. Andy lets them take their kid back, but not before calling their hometown's sheriff to ask him to keep an eye out for other signs they aren't good parents. | |

Berserk offers an on-going example of Type 2. Starting in the Millennium Falcon Arc, Guts and his companions encounter a strange little boy on nights of the full moon. The boy has an attraction to Guts and especially Casca, and the latter takes it upon herself to care of the boy. His appearance offers development for both Guts and Casca: Casca because she currently has a child-like insanity and is unable to take care of herself even, yet she still has some lucidity and maturity to act motherly towards another, and Guts because despite his dark and brooding personality, he is still shown to have a gentler side to him. The kicker is that the boy's presence also offers Guts and Casca a small amount of Ship Tease, as it rekindles memories that Guts and Casca conceived a child that was tragically lost due to the events of the Eclipse - but it's hinted that the Moonlight Boy might be their lost child reincarnated. Ultimately, whenever the Moonlight Boy makes his appearance, he vanishes not too long after. | |

Pinky and the Brain: There was an episode where Brain attempted to clone himself, and some of Pinky's DNA got mixed in. Cue Pinky and Brain acting like a bickering couple while they try to raise the clone. The episode "Whatever Happened to Baby Brain?" also had Pinky posing as the mother while Brain pretends to be a Deliberately Cute Girl in order to become a child star and raise money for his unstated world domination plot. Needless to say, Pinky took "her" own role too well. |

The Golden Girls - Season 2, Episode: "And Then There Was One" - Sophia runs in a marathon, while the ladies babysit several children of runners; the parents of one child, a little girl named Emily, do not return. The ladies must then contemplate whether or not to keep the baby and raise it themselves or hand it over to child services. This especially affects Blanche. Reluctant to even hold the child at first, Blanche becomes overly-attached, which brings up issues about her own daughter at the end of the episode. Emily's father, who previously tried to call and couldn't get through because Sophia mistook him for someone else, eventually turns out to have been late because he was with his wife in the hospital as she gave birth to triplets. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: In "Operation: C.A.M.P.", Numbuhs 2 and 3 care for a lost baby skunk they name Bradley. Unusually for the trope, while they refer to each other as his parents (and have lots of stereotypical parental bickering), it lacks any Ship Tease and is more akin to two kids playing house instead. | |

In Sailor Moon Usagi and Mamoru have to care for a baby whose mother recovers from being attacked by the Monster of the Week. Actually, Mamoru volunteers and Usagi decides try to help him, mostly to try and get close to him since this occurs early in the first arc of the R season, where he has lost his memories of their time together while she had them back at the start. | |

In an episode of Hey Arnold!, Arnold and Helga have to raise an egg together. There's already enough UST, so hijinks naturally ensue. | |

In Charmed the sisters need to take care of a child not their own for a day several times throughout the series. It does serve as both a foreshadowing and practice for when they get their own child. Since they are basically 3 moms, there is no Ship Tease, Ho Yay, or implications of a couple. Just a foreshadowing/practice. | |

Happy Heroes: In Season 3 episode 48, Careless S. finds a babified Big M. in the Supermen's house and takes care of him. This works out a bit painfully for Big M. since Careless S., in his usual forgetful fashion, doesn't make the best parent for a baby. He watches a parenting program that teaches him how to make a milk formula for Big M. to drink, pouring the contents right into Big M.'s mouth instead of into the bottle he needs to feed him with, for example. | |
