Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Life Unexpected ran on The CW from 2010 to 2011 and followed Lux, a 15-going-on-16-year-old girl with a problem. Given up for adoption as a baby, Lux has spent her entire life in foster care after she was diagnosed with a heart condition requiring surgery, making couples unwilling to adopt her. Tired of being bounced from one foster home to the next, Lux decides to seek out her birth parents in order to get the signatures she needs to obtain emancipation.Her search leads her to Nate "Baze" Bazile, a former high school football star who now runs a bar with his buddies. He is stunned to learn he has a daughter after a one-night stand in high school, and reveals to Lux that her mother is Cate Cassidy, a local radio personality who Lux has listened to all her life. Cate is saddened when she meets Lux and learns she was never adopted. Both Baze and Cate give their signatures for the emancipation process.However, Lux is denied emancipation by a judge, who decides to grant temporary joint custody to Baze and Cate, with Cate being the primary caregiver. All her life, Lux has never had parents, but now she has three— Baze, Cate, and Cate's fiance and co-host Ryan. And now it's up to all of them to somehow form a family. | |

Happily Adopted | |
| Life Unexpected / int_48e8fe57 | comment |
Happily Adopted: Inverted. Lux, who, as a Caucasian, American baby, would normally be very desirable for couples looking to adopt, was instead overlooked due to her heart defect.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |

Downer Ending | |
| Life Unexpected / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Should the series not get a Season 2, the finale will be one of these for the whole series. Baze realizes he has to tell Cate he loves her and must stop her wedding to do so. Caught in a traffic jam on his way to the church, he arrives just after "I now pronounce you man and wife". Everyone turns, stunned, as he walks through the doors... and Cate kisses Ryan as Baze stands bewildered. Averted since there will be a Season 2. Averted as a downer ending to the whole series, yes. As a season finale? It's still a downer ending, at least for Baze. | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion | |
| Life Unexpected / int_8387bb18 | comment |
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Cate states in the pilot that she never even considered keeping Lux, but that didn't extend so far as her seeking an abortion. Baze, on the other hand, assumed she'd had one so he's surprised to see Lux. | |

Bratty Teenage Daughter | |
| Life Unexpected / int_8a1215e0 | comment |
Bratty Teenage Daughter: Lux. An adult version is Paige, Ryan's sister. Though justifiable in Lux's case growing up in Foster Care made her cynical. One could argue that Cate never grew out of this, since she acts like this far more than Lux. | |

Crossover: With One Tree Hill, it's even quick to point out that Cate and Haley are remarkably similar (valedictorian, pregnant in high school, impregnated by star player named Nate) | |
