... and what does he do? A woman finds out she is pregnant, and is uncertain which of her lovers (often a husband and a boyfriend) is the father of the baby. This may resolve a number of ways: The mother, upon learning the child's paternity, hides it so that her current partner will not leave her. (Or alternatively, so that the biological father will be safe from negative consequences.) The mother's new partner, discovering the baby is not his, abandons her, leaves her to cope with raising the child on her own. If the child is already old enough to remember this, this can be a pivotal traumatic childhood event. The mother's husband raises the child out of a sense of duty, but always resents the child and puts his biological children first. The mother's new partner demonstrates what a good person he is by vowing to love and raise the child as his own. The biological father, upon discovering his child's paternity, vows to love and raise the child. The truth is never revealed, leaving everyone uncertain. In modern times, DNA testing can confirm doubts. In older tales, Chocolate Baby or another Uncanny Family Resemblance may be the only way to resolve it. A Sub-Trope of Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe. See also Gene Hunting, in which the child seeks his or her parentage. Nothing to do with the stock phrase used when one person taunts another in a fight. Also to not be confused with the video game of the same name. |

Maury once had varied topics. Nowadays, the show mostly deals with nothing but women giving men paternity tests. Sometimes, one woman will take up the entire show testing seven or eight men, find out it's none of them, and return another day. | |

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Late into the game, Eli begins to demand to talk to his father, whom he claims is Big Boss, leaving Big Boss's lieutenants wondering if he could really be Eli's father. ...or his clone, a product of the Les Enfants Terribles project. A DNA test is conducted after Eli launches a coup and steals Metal Gear Sahalanthropus, which turns up negative: Big Boss couldn't be Eli's son, nor his genetic progenitor. This, however, is a major clue to the fact that Big Boss isn't Big Boss... | |

Shows up in Supernatural of all places. Dean meets an old flame who has a son who acts and looks like a mini-Dean and was born roughly nine months after they were together. The woman assures him that the son is not his and the real father left them shortly after her son was born. Some fans, however, theorize that she was lying, although this possibility is never addressed in-show. Dean eventually settles down with them after Sam's death, but leaves when Sam comes back and winds up having Cas erase their memories of him to protect them. | |

This trope ccurs several times in Call the Midwife. In Series 1, the nurses encounter an older couple with a very involved father and a very detached mother. The baby is a Chocolate Baby, but the father calls him "the most beautiful baby in the world" and names him Edward Jr. In Series 2, Trixie and Sister Evangelina are called to deliver a baby on a Swedish cargo ship. They're confused at first because women aren't allowed on cargo ships. The expectant mother explains that her father is the captain, who brought her on board after her mother died... and pimped her out to the crew. All the sailors stand outside the cabin door while the baby is born and sing to their possible daughter when they hear her crying, but in the end the mother decides to abandon ship and give her daughter a proper life. In Series 3, a married woman asks for help secretly giving her baby up for adoption because it's not her husband's. Sister Julienne suggests that it would be kinder to let the husband raise the baby as his own, but the mother confesses the biological father was black. When the husband sees the little girl, he threatens to murder her, forcing Nurse Leigh to drag her from her mother's arms for her own safety. |

In The Secret Life of the American Teenager, there were two candidates for the father of Anne's son: her ex-husband George and her new boyfriend David. David had been told he was sterile, but George had gotten a vasectomy years earlier, so everyone assumed that David was, in fact, not sterile and the father. Then George confessed that he had lied about getting a vasectomy. This led David to conclude that George was the father. David broke up with Anne and left and that was that. We are initially led to believe that George is the father, but we later find out it's David. | |

A big part of the plot during season 8 of The X-Files. Though, being a paranormal show, and with Scully not actually supposed to be able to have children, it was both this and a 'How the heck did this happen?' It was later revealed that the Smoking Man had artificially inseminated her with his sperm. At which point, the fans lost any patience they had with Chris Carter. | |

When he moves back home a few years later, Donna has a young son, Rory, and admits that she doesn't know for sure if the father is Davan or the guy she dated after their fling. A Daddy DNA Test shows that Davan isn't the father. He becomes Rory's Parental Substitute anyway, though. | |

The paternity of Aeryn's pregnancy became a prevalent source of angst during season four of Farscape. Thanks to Fantasy Contraception, Peacekeeper females can hold an embryo in stasis for up to seven cycles (years), so Aeryn had no way of knowing if the child was Crichton's until she made it to a medical facility near the end of the season. | |

This pops up with Claudia Black again in season 9 of Stargate SG-1. Vala, upon accidentally arriving in the Ori galaxy, finds herself pregnant with no explanation and gets married to avoid punishment from the incredibly religious townspeople. Vala and her husband do eventually find out that the child is "the will of the Ori", making Vala's pregnancy a rather dark take on immaculate conception. Played with when Vala tells SG-1 about it and they immediately assume she was just really promiscuous. |

A major plot point in Archer focus on this trope. Sterling's mother, Malory, had slept with a handful of men, so she is unsure who might be the father, and she does everything she can to hide it if she does know. The most likely candidate was her old flame, KGB head Nikolai Jakov. There was no confirmation, and Barry kills him in Season 3, putting an end to the storyline with no resolution. | |

However, they later realize that he's Roger's son, as he grows the same mole. Lizzie reveals she is pregnant, but she doesn't know if Josiah or Keziah is the father. It does not bother her as she is in love with both of them and is happy if either of them is the father.]] |

This has fairly major significance in the backstory of the fantasy novel Song in the Silence. The debate is not the heroine's, but her mother's — since one of her lovers promised his first-born child to demons in exchange for a powerful magical artifact. The heroine decides not to go Gene Hunting, since she knows which of the men she thinks of as her father, and nothing else matters to her. Of course, the one who sold her soul is her biological father. Things just never work out well for fantasy heroes, do they? | |

Lost: Sun had an affair before coming to the island, and had been told Jin was infertile. Thus, Sun is not certain if Jin is her baby's father until a sonogram in "D.O.C." shows the baby was conceived on the island (and Juliet reveals the island increases sperm count), so the issue seems to be settled. Some fans were still convinced that Michael was actually the father, however, due to some Ship Tease hints early on in the series. It was definitively put to rest in the episode "Ji Yeon", where Sun gives birth to a baby girl that is completely Korean looking — not a lick of mixed racial heritage in her. | |

Nip/Tuck has this with Julia and the paternity of Matt. After finding out that Christian is his father, due to a one night stand before Julia's wedding to Sean, she hides it from her husband. She reveals it to her son's father, her son, and her husband (in that order) causing her husband to kick her out. Her husband doesn't treat her son any differently and eventually forgives both his wife and his son's father for the affair. | |

Summertime Saga: If MC impregnates either Grace or Odette, they will both keep his identity secret, because he's already dating Grace's little sister Eve. This can become quite comical if he impregnates all three of them within a day or so of each other, meaning Eve will bring her baby home from the hospital in front of a heavily pregnant Grace and Odette, neither of whom has any idea who the "mysterious father" of their own children could be right after MC came into their lives. If Jenny gets pregnant, she will also tell Debbie that she has no idea who the father is, for obvious reasons. |

The Brittas Empire: Carole spends a considerable portion of the episode "Temple Of The Body" trying to find out the father of her unborn twins. Unfortunately for her, all she knows is that it was conceived at a New Year's party (the father had been wearing an animal suit at the time). Not helping matters was that the rugby team had gatecrashed the party, expanding the list of potential fathers considerably. It is revealed in the episode that the father was none other than Gordon Brittas himself, although he and Carole don't find out until the very end of the show. | |

Robot Chicken: One of the Christmas specials reveals that the Nerd wasn't fathered by his mother's husband. She tells him that his father is actually Santa Claus, prompting him to take a journey to the North Pole for some family bonding. Once there, Santa reveals that he's sterile, and the timeline indicates that the Nerd was actually conceived during a three-way between his mother, Santa, and the Krampus. Probably not canon, but with Robot Chicken, who knows? | |

Two and a Half Men: A brief story arc over a couple of seasons had this conflict. To summarize, Alan's ex-wife Judith's marriage to her second husband Herb hits a rough patch and they separate for some time. A series of events play out in which Alan and Judith wind up sleeping together during the separation before Judith and Herb patch things up. Shortly afterward, Judith finds out she's pregnant and immediately Alan starts worrying about the child's paternity. When the baby girl, Milly, is born, many people remark she bears a strong resemblance to Alan while Herb is completely oblivious and believes she's his daughter. The question of who the father is ultimately is never answered. | |

In The Twilight Saga, this is a minor, unresolved subplot with Embry, who turns out to be a shapeshifter, which means he has ancestry in the native American Quileute tribe. The thing is, his mother is from an entirely different tribe so he can only get this from his father and the only men who could have fathered Embry were married to women other than Embry's mother at the time. It's an uncomfortable subject that most of the pack (some of whom, logically, must be Embry's half-siblings) tries to avoid. | |

It doesn't help that his mom Really Gets Around, and is also a Hermaphrodite. Episode 201 reveals that she lied about that last part, and it is, in fact, one of the Denver Broncos, and that Scott Tenorman, an older bully whose parents Cartman had killed and fed to him, is his half-brother. | |

Hollyoaks did a rather convoluted plotline where the mother of the child had a serious relationship with the guy who wasn't the father, but he was the only one who knew that he wasn't the father. Then the mother died and left him the baby, and he got together with the dead mother's sister (I know, c'est la squick) and their relationship ended horribly. So then they had a big custody war over the baby because of the complicatedness. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Barney and his brother James were raised by single mother Loretta, who never told either of them who their real fathers were. When Barney was growing up, she told him Bob Barker was his dad and he continues to believe the lie into adulthood. However, in "Cleaning House" he admits that he knows it is a lie but still found it comforting. His mom offers to tell him who his father is in the same episode, but Barney decides he isn't ready. Later in "Last Words", he decides to get in contact with his father after Marshall suddenly loses his own father. They finally meet in "Legendaddy", and Barney is dismayed to learn that he has settled down with a new family after missing his entire childhood. | |
