* In the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfiction [[[{{fanfiction.net/s/9653496/1/Unsuitable-Suitors}}]], Noah's parents want grandkids, so, they sign him up for a reality show where he has to date the ENTIRE cast.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfiction [[fanfiction.net/s/9653496/1/Unsuitable-Suitors Unsuitable Suitors]], Noah's parents want grandkids, so, they sign him up for a reality show where he has to date the ENTIRE cast.

* In ''Fanfic/HowEatingAStrangeFruitGaveMeMyQuirk'', [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Inko Midoriya]] grows excited every time the idea of grandchildren comes up. She even has "[[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling Potential Daughter-In-Law Senses]]" that allow her to sense when Izuku is talking to other girls.

** Castle Heterodyne has a bit of this, though it's more about producing an heir to secure the line of succession than any nurturing instinct.

* In ''LightNovel/IfHerFlagBreaks'', the "Elder" praises Akane and encourages her and Souta to hurry and give her some grandchildren. It doesn't seem to matter to the Elder that neither of them are actually her children, or her relatives for that matter.

* Film/ImagineMeAndYou: One of the reasons why Tessa tries to talk her daughter Rachel out of the whole "being gay"-thing.

* [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Nidhogg]] from VisualNovel/SablesGrimoire is very insistent that her HalfHumanHybrid daughter Drakan produce grandchildren and greatly accelerates her relationship with the protagonist (the titular Sable) in order to guarantee this. In the bad ending [[spoiler: she magically imprisons Sable and forces Drakan to rape him in order to achieve this.]]

* A variation occurs in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10448834/46/Six-Paths-of-Rebellion Six Paths of Rebellion]]'' where Nunally is quite insistent on Lelouch getting a girlfriend and giving her lots of nieces and nephews to spoil.

* In ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'', Issei's parents are happy when they see him genuinely interacting with girls. They expressed a fear that they would never have grandchildren because Issei is a perverted idiot who spends most of his time ogling girls or his PornStash instead of actually talking to them. This is a bit less funny with later revelations that Issei was actually their third attempt at a child (having two older siblings who died of miscarriages), so their complex on this is a bit less purely comedic.

* In ''Fanfic/HowEatingAStrangeFruitGaveMeMyQuirk'', [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Inko Midoriya]] grows excited every time the iodea of grandchildren comes up. She even has "[[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling Potential Daughter-In-Law Senses]]" that allow her to sense when Izuku is talking to other girls.

* In ''Fanfic/HowEatingAStrangeFruitGaveMeMyQuirk'', [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Inko Midoriya]] grows excited every time the idea of grandchildren comes up. She even has "[[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling Potential Daughter-In-Law Senses]]" that allow her to sense when Izuku is talking to other girls.

* ''FanFic/EakinsHardReset'': Twilight's mother feels this way. [[spoiler:The fact that Twilight's a lesbian only means she expects both her and her future girlfriend to churn 'em out.]]
* ''[[{{FanFic/RealityChecksNyxverse}} Nyx's Family]]'': Twilight Sparkle's mother has been standoffish and fearful ever since Twilight adopted Nyx, the filly version of Nightmare Moon... till the moment she sets eyes on the filly.

* Israeli comedienne Hadar Levi once joked about her mother taking this attitude UpToEleven:

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13642067/22/Justice-League-Rebellion Justice League Rebellion]]'', Barda bluntly tells Kallen on Kamina Island that she wants her and Lelouch to marry and have children. She later elaborates that right now Lelouch is focused on his rage and fury. Being married to the woman he trusts and loves along with having a family will provide him a peaceful life once the war with Savage and Darkseid is over, saving him from his pain. It will also allow Barda to see her son live a full life since as an immortal she will eventually [[OutlivingOnesOffspring witness Lelouch and Nunnally die from old age while she remains physically unchanged]].

* ''Literature/TheBible'' has this in ''Literature/{{Genesis}}'', as the first thing God tells his living creations is to "Go forth and multiply". By extension, He also expects this from the animals. To drive the point home, after Adam and Eve sin and become mortal, God promises to multiply Eve's "conceptions," though this is possibly so there would be saints to replace the souls who would be damned.

* ''Literature/TheInnsmouthLegacy'' (a sequel to ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'' by Creator/HPLovecraft): In ''Winter Tide'', Aphra (one of the two surviving Deep One hybrids from the original Innsmouth Raid) is nonplussed that all the Elders (especially her grandfather) want her to breed as quickly as possible. Still traumatised from her decades in a US government concentration camp where she saw [[EverybodysDeadDave everyone except her brother die]], she's really not happy at the [[AdultFear potential heartbreak involved in raising children]]. In fairness the stakes are a bit higher than normal; as far as they know Aphra and her brother are the LastOfTheirKind. The Deep Ones are effectively immortal but they can be killed, so it may well be a question of species survival.

* The ''VideoGame/TakAndThePowerOfJuju'' animated series episode "To Zaria with Love" has the Pupununu people believing that Tak is destined to marry the Chief's eldest daughter Zaria. The Chief enjoys this news and at one point states that he's looking forward to having grandchildren.
