When you say unexpected, that could be in several different contexts.
It could be that you're a couple in a committed relationship but weren't planning to have a baby just yet.
If that is the case, if things are stable, Id say have the baby. Marriage...I don't think that should be the reason for getting married. As an afterthought and because you actually want to, why not.
If it's a couple who have only just got together, or worst-case scenario, a one night thing, then no, they shouldn't get married. Having the baby...well that just depends for me.
As a little thread hi-jack, I think pre-nups aren't romantic, but they sure are practical. I personally live in the real world and would want one. You never know where life will take you. That way, both of you are sure that you're only in it for each other, and nothing else.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
