They could do a time skip, not one that's available to be skipped, it would have to be mandatory. They could find a way to make an implied (not vulgar) sex act, but again it would have to be unskippable. This means they can't code anythin in the game for it, it has to just happen. Jump from one scene to the next. Or maybe you just don't see your wife for a while, and one day she shows back up at your house with a baby. Over time the kid grows into a child and eventually a teenager and then runs off to do his/her own adventuring. Beyond that, I don't see any way to make it and keep the game M-rated, on the shelves, and still interesting enough to bother with having a kid.

The Witcher 2 has gratuitous ammounts of nudity and the hardcore act being done, yet it retains its M rating. However, in another Bethesda title, Fallout: New Vegas, the black-out screen 'implication of sex' is implemented. This would be far more appropriate for The Elder Scrolls series than the hardcore act would be. Meshed with a Fable-esque "baby's born the following day" could provide better immersion while saving face, albeit being a bit ridiculous.
