== Anime and Manga ==
* Used with an extra dose of [[Anvilicious|anvils]] in ''[[Vandread]]''. An alien computer virus infects the entire ship when the crew attempts to open a [[Lost Technology]] data storage, rendering the ship defenseless as enemy forces approach. It also leaves our hero, his love interest and a woman in labor [[Born in Anan Elevator|stuck in an elevator]]. Some of the crew patch the comm-system into the elevator so they can give advice to the kids trying to play midwife, and when the baby is born, its first cry echoes through the ship... causing the virus to instantly dissolve. It was actually a defense program to prevent the wrong people from getting their hands on the information in the data-storage, and the 'password' was a baby's first cry. The creator of the time capsule stated that any culture that still sees children born, greeting the world with a cry of sheer life, is worthy of being preserved.
* Played pretty straight in episode 7 of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' R (episode 53 overall), where the Cardian is sent in to attack babies and one of the mothers takes the brunt of an attack meant for her son. The baby, unfortunately has no one to take care of him, so Mamoru, being the good guy that he is, volunteers. Usagi decides to help and the two of them even hold hands when they dance for joy when the little baby begins to walk and talks for the first time. At the time, Mamoru had amnesia and didn't remember anything about loving Usagi. In fact, he clearly found her kind of strange and unpleasant. This one is slightly more excusable since they were just babysitting, and since they weren't sole caretakers of the little one long enough it didn't have time to stop being fun and become reality.
* In ''[[Black Butler]]'', Madam Red {{spoiler|marries a man who she does not love because her sister married her beloved. However, when she becomes pregnant, she tells us in a inner monologue that she begins to feel she can really love her husband. When she loses the child in a accident and goes crazy because another woman had an abortion, she begins killing all those expecting mothers who wish to be rid of their children.}} At the end of it, she expects Ciel to sympathize with her because in her view any woman that doesn't want a child must be a [[Child-Hater|shallow tart undeserving of any sympathy]].
