Line 2:
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. There are two types:
Can overlap with [[A Day in the Limelight]] and [[Has Two Mommies]]. When it's only a simulation of a child it's called [[Egg Sitting]]. Compare [[Children Raise You]]. See also [[Is That Cute Kid Yours?]]
▲* Type 2 - 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.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'', Godai and Kyoko are forced to look after the abandoned children of a runaway waitress (sort of, [[It Makes Sense in Context|it's very complicated]]). This shows that both have good parenting skills. Shipteasing left and right.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
** The [[Birds of Prey]] had to do the exact same thing in "Three Birds and a Baby". The child's [[Rapid Aging]] caused him to die at the end of the episode in a surprising [[Tear Jerker]].
* 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.
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* In the ''[[MacGyver]]'' episode "Rock the Cradle," Jack Dalton's ex-girlfriend, on the run from criminals, leaves her son "Jack Jr." in Jack's airplane hangar, with a note asking Jack to take care of him. Jack and MacGyver have to look after the kid while trying to track down Mama.
* Done on ''[[Remington Steele]]''.{{context}}
* In the ''[[Bones]]'' episode "The Baby in the Bough" Booth and Brennan take care of a victim's son. While Bones is rather [[Maternally Challenged]] and initially unwilling, she becomes attached by the end.
* For a few episodes during ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' Volume 4, Hiro and Ando have to take care of Matt Parkman's son.
