Line 14: There has always been some [[Values Dissonance]] with the trope, and it has become increasingly so with the shift in values in the West. That doesn't change the trope from being an expression of strong silent desires held by both men and women. Sometimes the woman's existence is [[Retcon]]ned so that the main character can suddenly have a son, since of ''course'' a hero sires a male heir. In this case, see [[Luke, You Are My Father]]. [[Glorified Sperm Donor]] is another form this can take,. ~~and if~~If the father dies, itthis becomes [[Someone to Remember Him By]] and may overlap with [[Her Heart Will Go On]]. ~~----~~ ~~Examples:~~ {{examples}} == Anime and Manga == * ''[[One Piece]]''. {{spoiler\|Gold Roger got Portugas D. Rogue pregnant with Ace soon before he was captured. Rogue managed to stay pregnant for over a year as to make sure her child would actually be born.}} Line 49 ⟶ 48: == Literature == * [[James Bond]] is supposed to have had a son by one of his many conquests (In the new books, not the originals). * [[Defied Trope\|Defied]] in ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', after Lupin and Tonks get married and Tonks gets pregnant, Lupin learns that Dumbledore sent Harry on a secret mission and offers to go with him to assist him in whatever he can, Harry refuses and tells him that his wife and son are more important and leaving them would be an act of cowardice. Lupin storms off but realizes that Harry was right and spends the rest of his time with his family. * In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'', nearly every single female member of [[The Older Immortal\|Lazarus Long]]'s forty-third century family sleeps with him in order to get pregnant prior to his departure on a [[Time Travel]] trip back to early 1900's Kansas City, Missouri. They feel certain that he is going to "get his ass shot off" in that primitive era, and want [[Someone to Remember Him By]]. * Harry Keogh's wife falls pregnant at the end of ''Necroscope'', but he doesn't find out until the sequel (when he's already dead).
