Strong, modern woman inexplicably has one night stand with unsuitable man, maybe one she has an antagonistic relationship with, or who is married to a friend or sister.
Thought of pregnancy does not cross her mind until 8 weeks later when she faints or throws up. She reluctantly uses a test, which proves positive. She is stunned when it’s positive. At this stage, it’’’s common for her to be in doubt whether the father is Mr Unsuitable or her steady, reliable partner.
She confides in a friend and states firmly ‘“I’’m not keeping it, no way I’’m having X’’s baby’. Around this time, the steady partner gets wind of the pregnancy and comes over all broody, or she is forced to interact with an unusually cute and well-behaved kid, and looks wistful.
She decides to go ahead and have the child despite voicing misgivings. Come the birth, she is unable to get to a hospital so gives birth in the workplace or pub. The baby is delivered by the least likely character to be adept at delivering babies. One of the men faints, sometimes the campest, sometimes the butchest.
At some point, either around the time of the birth, or years later, Mr Unsuitable will decide he wants in and show up with a huge teddy, saying ‘“”I’’’m that little girl/boy’s Dad””’.
