So you have a Love Triangle between Alice, Bob and Charles. However, the tension can't be sustained forever, so finally Alice and Bob confess their love and all is happy. Except for Charles; doesn't he deserve true love? Well, okay, but where can we pull out a love interest on short notice? Alice and Bob's baby! It would be like marrying the best qualities of both. This Trope is about a love triangle being resolved by involving the offspring of the primary couple. As this is a Love trope largely focused around endings, beware of spoilers. "All spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware." Not to be confused with developing the Love Triangle into a Love Dodecahedron. Subtrope of Love Father, Love Son. See also Unequal Pairing, which is likely in these circumstances. |

Variation in the original V (1983) where Robin Maxwell loved Kyle Bates, but he ended up with her rapidly grown child Elizabeth instead (although there was never a triangle in the first generation). | |

In Sharknado, protagonist Fin is pursued by his younger employee, Nova, though he clearly is carrying a torch for his ex-wife, April. At the end he and April reconcile (a whole six hours after her boyfriend dies!), and while it's not clear, it seems Nova is going to hook up with their son Matt, who is closer to her age. | |

In The Sims, this is a very common player tactic. See two sims you think look cool? Marry one now, have your kids grow up with birthday cake and marry the other. | |

On The Cleveland Show, Rallo has a Precocious Crush on his stepbrother Junior's Girl of the Week, Chanel. Eventually we find out that Chanel and her ex-boyfriend have a daughter together, and Rallo is instantly smitten with her instead. Played With, however, because Junior doesn't wind up with Chanel, instead encouraging her to get back together with her ex-boyfriend for the sake of their daughter. | |

El Goonish Shive: The Nanase/Elliot/Sarah love triangle is resolved by Elliot getting together with Sarah, and Nanase realizing she's a lesbian and hooking up with Elliot's sister/daughter/Opposite-Sex Clone, Ellen.note While Sarah is not Ellen's mother in any biological sense and didn't contribute to Ellen's existence like Tedd did, she can be considered one in an adoptive sense if one considers being in a relationship with someone who has a child puts one in the position of being an adoptive parent of said child. Grace explains this to Sarah here. | |

A very weird one occurs in Doctor Who. Amy has Rory and the Doctor as potential love interests, and chooses Rory. The Doctor may or may not have some romantic interest in her, and he also may fancy Rory just a little bit — enough to kiss him once, at least. (Rory, for his part, is completely Amy-sexual.) Amy and Rory have a daughter, who grows up to be the Doctor's future wife River Song. It's severely complicated by the fact that while they are all time travellers, they are not all necessarily travelling in the same direction or at the same speed. The Doctor meets River before he meets Amy and Rory, on the day River dies, and likes her before anyone except River knows who her parents are. River decided, when she was a kid, to grow up together with her parents at the same age as them, never telling them who she was. Oh, and River has another mother — the Doctor's Bond Creature, eternal Love Interest and wife, the TARDIS. | |

In The Twilight Saga, Bella and Edward end up together, but leave poor Jacob alone. Not to worry, when their daughter Renesmee is born he "imprints" upon her, essentially becoming romantically bonded for life with a newborn. It's even suggested that Renesmee was destined to be Jacob's soulmate even before she was born, and the attraction Jacob felt toward Bella resulted from this. | |

A variation is seen in The Hunger Games. Peeta's father had been pining for Katniss' mother when they were young, but when she chose Katniss' father, Peeta's father settled for his wife. In the present, Katniss was being courted by Gale, when the organizers of the Hunger Games paired up Peeta and Katniss as a publicity stunt. At the very end, Katniss tells off Gale for coming up with the idea of hiding explosives in care packages that got hundreds killed, including her sister at the end of the revolution, and she goes back to District-12. Years later Katniss and Peeta are having a picnic with their children. | |
