We introduce and solve a generalized 1+1D Lorentzian gravity model in which a certain subclass of baby-universes is allowed, the occurrence of these being governed by a coupling constant $\beta$. Combining transfer matrix-, saddle point- and path integral techniques we show that for $\beta<1$ it is possible to take a continuum limit in which the model is described by a 1D quantum Calogero Hamiltonian. The coupling constant $\beta$ survives the continuum limit and appears as a parameter of the Calogero potential.
